I believe he's riden on the shoulders of greats, and did little to make them greats.

Based on this logic, Phil Jackson was barely an above average coach as well. He didn't win big without the elite superstars either.

I wouldn't say he's done all he can in the NBA.. I can't even tell how good of a coach he is. Yeah he's led his team to some Finals appearances but who was on that team? The greatest player in the world with a really good supporting cast.

To answer your question though, I think he takes another NBA job to prove his self rather than going to the college game.

a coach is as only as good as his players, while im not sayin spoe is a great coach. You cant say either way, every coach wins with great players.

Phil Jackson has acocmplished a hell of a lot more than Spoelstra. And players have given testimonials affirming PJ's coaching genius. So no I wouldn't say PJ is barely an above average coach. I don't hear anyone actually in the NBA saying how good of a coach Spoelstra is.

I do think there are better coaches than Phil Jackson who don't have the rings that he does. Larry Brown for example.
