[QUOTE="Magooch, post: 1090097, member: 17987"] Jimmy Johnson is also one of the last/best examples of a coach with no NFL experience succeeding in the NFL. Generally this is not the case.... Most college coaches who are successful at the NFL level have at least SOME NFL experience before taking a head coaching gig in the league I guess you could take that either direction. TBH, the "adults" on the Packers and the "kids" on the Hoosiers aren't that far apart. Indiana has an average age of roughly 23 this year...our team's average age I want to say is 25.3? Either our NFL team is basically still kids, or his college team is basically already adults :P But, I've mentioned it before, I don't see any reason for him to leave the college ranks at the moment. He's just signed a massive contract and part of that includes a market adjustment that basically stipulates Indiana will pay him like one of the top 3 coaches in college. His salary's already would be a top-10 NFL coach salary and he basically has total control over his program. He's got Mark Cuban bankrolling the operation. We would have to offer him significantly more than we are currently paying LaFleur to begin with, and even if we did I haven't seen any indication that he's interested in making that move. It would certainly be interesting but I have a hard time seeing it happen. [/QUOTE]
