I don't think it matters that much.

Most head coaches in the NFL coached at a collegiate level at some point.

And funny enough look at Dennis Erickson who came from Oregon and failed. It's not hard to think it will happen again with Kelly.

If I was Nick Saban or Chip Kelly I would stay put.

Chip Kelly's style of success will only work, with the proper personnel. Personally I would stay clear of any team, unless I had a QB. The best job going, at this moment, is SD. At least Rivers, who admittedly has had a poor season, is generally a good QB.

Andy Reid should have stayed retired for a year. He has a good RB in KC, but Andy throws the ball only, and Matt Cassell can't deliver. The Chiefs have the first round pick, but I don't see any RGIII, Luck caliber QBs in the draft this year. His only advantage is that, besides the Broncos, its a weak division.

Andy Reid, with all his previous personal woes, should, emulate Cowher, Dungy etc and devote more time to his family.

Rivers has had back-to-back bad seasons. Granted, he doesn't have as much talent around him as he did a few years ago, but he has played like poop for a couple seasons not just this past one.

I agree with you there capdjq. I think Chip know's he needs to personnel to make him look good from the start. He turned down Tampa last year or he could have been a head coach already.

While I do agree college coaches generally are not made for NFL type X and O strats, you labeling Jim Harbaugh a failure is BS.

Man has been coaching for 2 years went to the playoffs twice, NFC championship game last year and was 2 fumbles on special teams away from playing in the SB. Made Alex Smith a pretty damn good QB. I wouldn't label Harbaugh a failure. Also Pete Carroll has gotten his Seahawks better and better with every year and especially this year. Both those colleges coaches have 2 of the best teams in the NFL this year.

FYi - I don't want Chip Kelly as an Eagles HC - I think its dumb to hire him. I want Bruce Arians, or any 49ers Coordinator, or any Seahawks coordinator.

He's yet to win when it matters. Time will tell if he's decent or not but let's say he becomes the SECOND coach in history to be good from college to the nfl. Would you bet on being struck by lightning, mauled by a black bear, AND also being mauled by a brown bear all in the same day? History is a bitch sometimes but it's always true.

FYI: That list is a re-post from the professional sports writers who know more then anyone here. Unless we have one of them here no one knows about.

I, also, cannot understand the rush to hire Andy Reid. The Eagles spent millions of dollars building a dream team, and Reid turned his defense over to an offensive-line coach on a whim. He also played a role in giving Michael Vick a new lucrative contract and then overseeing an offensive strategy that repeatedly put his undersized quarterback in harms way because of his love of the pass and hatred of the run.

There are other Coaches with less miles on their odometer, those without indisputable video evidence of their sideline freakiness and questionable decision-making.

No.

A few good choices for the open HC positions right now IMHO are:
Dirk Koetter
Jay Gruden
Mike Zimmer
Butch Davis

Dirk has an offense that has SO much talent with possibly the best WR core in football. His offense should have been even better than it was. Jay Gruden is a descent one, would rather have his brother. Butch Davis, NO. Mike Zimmer is a descent one.

Bruce Arians is prbably the best HC prospect ut there. Any of the 49ers and Seahawks OC and DC would be a dream as well.

Another person that pops to mind is Monte Kiffin. He would make a great HC I think.
