So, after coaching six college football games (no, I don't count the three last season), Ryan Day is ready for the NFL? ... Is there a joke I'm missing here somewhere? ... And  before somebody tells me he has coached in the NFL -- yes, I realize that. He was the QBs coach for two seasons for two different teams. To me, that is a completely inadequate resume for what's supposed to the the best football league in the world, so maybe I am missing something ...

The Washington Redskins...that's the joke.

Sheesh talk about jumping the gun- Day has coached 5 games and all the sudden is NFL hotness? Probably the perfect fit for the 'Skins! 

What's the percentage of college coaches successfully making the NFL jump? I can think of Pete Carrol....but he was in the NFL first...….Barry Switzer? I'm sure there are more, but all NFL coaches look the same to me. 

 

 

Jimmy Johnson did OK.

Good call, he's probably the best example. So that makes it about a 3% success rate? 
I don't blame college coaches for giving it a go, plenty of NFL guys fail too, but I sure wouldn't leave O$U for the Redskins or some other dysfunctional NFL franchise that will chew you up and spit you out in 2-3 years. Plenty of pressure in NCAA, but a lot longer leash and easier to succeed, imo. 

Honestly straight from NCAA to NFL I would think is closer to 50%. There just aren’t many that do it. Saban and Spurrier are most notable busts. I thought Dave Wandstedt was in that convo and he was a D Coordinator in the NFL right before the Bears job. Most cases involved a successful coach coming up on an investigation or a huge money offer.

Funny play in Nd vs USC. A scrum and a penalty flag thrown. The referee then announced a penalty on UCLA .
I was at the game. There were multiple stadium-wide chants of "UCLA" after that. I kinda hope a new way to taunt USC was born.

Sounds alot like a portion of our very own fan base!

I'm starting to become a believer in Minnesota. They barely beat some weak teams and ain't pretty, but they are improving.  And with as impotent as Iowa's offense is, I think the Gophers are the second best team in the West. Looking at their remaining schedule, 10-2 is very possible, 9-3 likely. 

I kinda just forgot about them honestly while going through the teams but they have beaten up on weak teams in an ugly way. I ranked Appalachian State but I also have a history of ranking small schools like that in football and basketball just to “give them a chance” basically. Sometimes I just get tired of the same teams going in and out from week to week. But I also believe Temple and Missouri would beat Minnesota.

Some of the penalties that Purdue gets called in its favor are beyond nuts. They jump offside shove a lineman to the ground and Iowa gets called for a false start. For such a bad team that they get calls like that
