Saints to interview Mike McCarthy in middle of this week, 1/26-2/1 per Pelissero [Underhill: McCarthy would have to be the current favorite]

Are failed NFL coaches amateurs? Are failed NFL head coaches better than the best college football coaches? Are the en vogue young coaches in their 30s more professional, better than the “amateur” Nick Saban?

They’re all ball coaches. Just because you coach young, non-professional level men doesn’t make you yourself an amateur.
When the majority of your career is in the NFL, you are a professional.
And it speaks volumes when the best CFB coaches like Bud Wilkerson, Nick Saban, and Urban Meyer have careers like Dennis Allen.
