This is a good thread. As far as the college coaches, with the quick departures of Petrino and Saban...I think you'll see owners now very hesitant to hire a big name college coach, because now they've set the standard for everyone to think if their NFL team isn't successful in a few years, or hell not even 1 full one, they're gonna go running back to college when SEC or big school needs a new coach. Jimmy Johnson is really the only success story.

And as far as other coaching moves, every losing team owner wants to be the 2006 Saints, bring in a brand new head coach...some new free agents...and BAM! Instant success....AND asses in the seats!
