Same argument for selling CMC as a hire for the Browns. He's a great coach, but can you sell Browns season tickets based on hiring away a college coach from Iowa State?
Who was the last NFL coach hired from college that had any success as a head coach in the NFL?
Bill O'Brien coached a few years at Penn State, but he was an NFL guy before that. Pete Carrol was in the NLF, then college, then back to the NFL.
Chip Kelly was the last one I can remember that went from college to the NFL. He had minor success and then imploded. Hell even Nick Saban flamed out in the NFL.
College guys get hired on as coordinators, but rarely do they hire a head coach straight out of college and give him the reigns of an NFL team. And I don't see Campbell leaving ISU to be an OC in the NFL for a few years before being a head coach.
The NFL is a completely different game than college football.
That HC for the Ealges was coaching high school ball 10 years ago! Maybe the Browns will pass on Campbell and go straight for the DSM Dowling coach
