Never played professional football, either.
He was also a famed D1 player. And ya, 1950 is the same as today. He was a very good player on a great team. Even then guards weren't famous. |

Lombardi wasn't a "famed DI player."
He was part of a unit "The Seven Blocks of Granite" that was "famed" by the New York Press of the time.
By the logic you posted earlier, if he was a "great " college player he would have played in NFL.
Doesn't matter. He "rose through the ranks" to become one of the greatest coaches of all time.

That's 1. Who started coaching in 1939 and got into the NFL before much of anyone cared about it. |

I would argue that anyone that played in the NFL was a great college player, but oh well. My point is, far more Super Bowl winning coaches were former NFL players won Super Bowls as HCs than those that "rose through the ranks". You don't have to know crap about football to be a successful HC if you are a great leader, organizer, recruiter and figurehead. Unfortunately for Deion he only has the talking end IMO. There are plenty of pretty successful HCs at all levels that probably couldn't "coach" their way out of a wet paper bag, but they are able to procure some really nice talent. Especially today. The game is evolving away from film room junkies HCs to figureheads IMO. One beat a top 4 team just this past weekend. But coach, even those guys "rose up the ranks". Were any of them named HC in the NFL after having not coached at the NFL or Major College level before? Or were they position coaches, and then possibly coordinators, and then named HC. |

All this talk of Deion as next HC if FSU of probably overblown. In a recent interview, Deion said he wanted the job, but no one from FSU has even spoken to him about it. It seems like the one who started these rumors may well have been Sanders himself. I wouldn’t be shocked if he gets a “courtesy interview” at some point, though.
