NFL is a different animal that very few college coaches have been successful at. Only two I can think of off the top of my head is Jimmy and Harbaugh.
Bobby Ross won an NC at Georgia Tech, and reached a Super Bowl with the Chargers
Bill Walsh had a few good years both before and after his 3 Super Bowl stint with the 49ers
Barry Switzer sort of just stepped into a working machine, but won multiple national titles at Oklahoma before his Super Bowl win with the Cowboys
Pete Carroll won national titles and a Super Bowl
Tom Coughlin had a couple successful years at BC before winning two Super Bowls with the Giants
Dick Vermeil took UCLA to a Rose Bowl title and top 5 ranking before reaching two Super Bowls, winning one
Don Coryell had a long successful run at San Diego State before jumping to the NFL

I said off the top of my head. Lol. 

Carroll was really an NFL guy who had bounced around the league and went 
down to college after being fired from two NFL head coaching jobs.

Carroll was a heck of a college coach to be really an NFL guy.  He excelled at the most important thing in cfb, recruiting, which is where often successful NFL guys fail in college.

When Ohio State hired him I had serious reservations.

But for most of his time there he actually did pretty well without any real scandals and certainly no cheating that he was ever accused of. Plus he won games and championships and all the feedback from the families and players was glowing.

When the whole thing with Zach Smith popped up that was really the first major issue and that was one of being overly loyal to somebody and not really peeling back the onion to understand what was actually going on. In a position of that high viz.ability authority and compensation you simply cannot do things like that. 

I was glad to move to Ryan Day- Who seems to be almost the polar opposite of urban in terms of how he carries himself, relate to the families and the players, and deals with the media.

Guy named Paul Brown won a National Championship before taking the Browns to heights not seen since

There were some Buckeyes here who, shall we say, strongly disagreed with me as they were hiring him.  They got a 2014 championship out of it, and a lot of very good seasons, and I don't begrudge them that. 
Twasn't I as many spotted his BS blowing up in face and circling around and biting him in the backside.But he could sell sno cones to an Eskimo
