vrable going for 2 early... TAKING a point off the board... DID NOT HELP
Successful NFL coaches don't dart for the NCAA. I can't recall even one instance of that happening. Only way he considers going to the college level is if he gets canned here. But considering his success thus far, if he gets canned here, he will likely find another NFL HC job within a year or two. He's already fared better than probably 90% of all NFL HC hires in the last 20 years.

It's also worth noting that JRob took over literally the worst team in the league and almost completely purged the entire roster within 2 years. If I recall correctly, I think less than 10 players from the previous regime were still on the roster at the beginning of 2017. So the success we've seen can almost be entirely attributed to the players acquired under J-Rob. And I think only like 5 were on the roster in 2018. The remaining players from the past regime to stay on the roster are Lewan and Kern.

Fisher was a solid coach. His problem is that he didn't adapt as the NFL landscape was changing. It started becoming a significantly more pass happy league in the mid 2000's. But he was still stuck in the old school style of football. Play defense, run the ball, and playing super conservative with a lead became a very ineffective way to win football games as guys like Peyton, Brady, and Brees were throwing it 30-40 times a game and could score extremely quick. You've got to be more creative on offense to keep up with those type of offenses, and he quite clearly wasn't interested in changing.
Jim Harbaugh?
He basically got fired. The 49ers said it was mutual, but according to Harbaugh it wasn't a mutual decision at all. He was told in mid December that the team would be moving on after the season.
I’d say Jim Harbaugh meets that criteria. He was pretty successful in SF then took the Michigan job.
I also posted before seeing your post. H5

to be honest though... almost every move Robinson made early was no brainers. The moves GoTitans had been crying years for.
following webster/lorax/reinfeldt would make any of us look like a smartikus
See my post before. He was forced out.
EDIT: My post was to say the successful NFL coaches don't leave their current jobs for the NCAA. If they get fired/forced out, that's a little different.
Straight from his Wiki page:
On October 5, it was rumored that Harbaugh would not return in 2015 regardless of that season's outcome, though owner Jed York denied the claims at the time.[133] It has been suggested that Harbaugh, despite his success on the field, was involved in a power struggle with 49ers general manager Trent Baalke starting from the 2013 season onward.[134][135] On December 28, 2014, the 49ers announced that they had mutually agreed to part ways with Harbaugh as their head coach.[136] York claims Harbaugh and the 49ers agreed to mutually part ways immediately after a win over the Arizona Cardinals in the final week of the regular season.[137] Harbaugh, however, later said: "I didn't leave the 49ers. I felt like the 49er hierarchy left me."[138] He further added that the 49ers informed him that he would no longer be the 49ers coach after suffering a loss on December 14, but that he decided to remain as the team's head coach for the final two games of the season because "I wanted to finish what I started—what we started."[139]
Also this article straight from Harbaugh's mouth:
Harbaugh: I didn't leave 49ers, they left me

The Bears Tecmo Super Bowl starting QB.
Congrats to JRob and Vrabel. Maybe Vrabel will chill out with the "getting too cute for his own good" nonsense in the near future and get this team to the promised land.
its the Oilers/Titans way
Man you are really trying to defend this point lol it’s not that big of a deal. I mean just because something has never happened before (even though it has) doesn’t mean it won’t ever happen.
Vrabel is an alum, was born in Ohio, and truly cares about making an impact on his players. College is a great place to do that. I didn’t say think it was going to happen just that it’s been a worry of mine. He’s clearly going to be here a while.
I think Vrabel is too much of a "student of the game" to go to college. For all of the seemingly dumb shit that he's done, he's pretty brilliant when it comes to Xs and Os and rules manipulation. That's generally more of an NFL coaching quality than college. College is more about recruiting and getting young guys to play to their potential.
