And this is a fair point. Good college head coaches are good adminstrators. They have to manage recruiting, practices, and game day decisions. It's similar to being an NFL Head coach, but remove the recruiting duties.
It's common for college head coaches to fail miserably in the NFL because they can't stack their team with a talent advantage like they can in college.
Kliff only has to be concerned with outscheming the other team and developing Rosen. It's a much more narrow job description and only highlights what he is known to be good at.
The national media attacks on this hiring are missing this point entirely. Just like many of them turned the Wilks firing into a race thing, and not a merit based firing. Anyone who even watched a single game of Wilks could see he looked liked he was promoted way over his ability. Total Peter principle.
