ESPN 150: JJ #1 Greatest College to Pro Coaches

Advertisement
Only three coaches in the history of the NFL have one both a National Championship and a Superbowl. Jimmy was the first, and large in part left an impact on college football with speedy, smaller d-lineman and trading and drafting in the pros. Coaches still consult him for ideas on how to accrue talent. The second one was Barry Switzer who rode Jimmy's coat tails in Dallas and Petey Carroll. Jimmy, for my money, is one of the greatest minds in the history of the sport.

Where's Cam Cameron?

"Fellas, from the outside looking in, that was a heckuva game!"
 
Paul Brown won a NC at Ohio State in 1942 and a NFL championship in Cleveland in 1950. JJ was the second coach to accomplish the dual championship, and it took 45 years.

Oh, what could have been if JJ had stayed at The U another decade.

"Only three coaches in the history of the NFL have one both a National Championship and a Superbowl."

Paul Brown won an NFL Championship, but not the Super Bowl.

JJ was the first to win a NC and a Super Bowl. One of three.
 
Nick Saban is a festering pustule on the *** of the Miami Dolphins.

I agree. I'm just saying there were NFL championships before the championship game was renamed the Super Bowl.

Opinion of Barry Switzer is one of the great litmus tests in football history. Anyone who knocks him flunks.

Switzer was a combined 4-0 in bowl games against Joe Paterno, Tom Osborne and Bobby Bowden.

That 1995 Super Bowl victory is the most incompetently scrutinized seasons in NFL history. The Cowboys had been dethroned as champion only one season earlier. One year after being dethroned is historically a horrible season. Prior to Barry Switzer, the only head coach in NFL history who had even regained the championship one season after being dethroned was George Halas with the Bears in the early '40s. The only coach who has done it subsequent to Switzer is Bill Belichick.

The simpletons have a habit of picking that dethroned champ to return to glory. I have seen it all my life. Somehow they think it is clever to ignore the defending champion, but to reach back one year prior. It is actually one of the dumbest selections imaginable so naturally it becomes a feature. That's why they think nothing of the 1993 to 1995 scenario.

Besides, how many titles were the Cowboys supposed to win...4 in a row...6 of 7?

Hilarious. Dynasties are short lived in the NFL. The ongoing Patriots are beyond remarkable and the only severe modern exception. Dallas exceeded all logic with 3 in 4 seasons. If they played it out again with the same players and same opposing teams and players, far more likely than not it would be less than 3. Dallas won that 1992 NFC Championship Game at San Francisco only because of a 4-0 edge in turnovers.
