No offense, but I don't think you can use the word "proven" with a college coach when talking about an NFL opening.

There's been too many examples of great college coaches who just don't translate to the NFL.  It's just an entirely different animal.   Nick Saban, Steve Spurrier, Chip Kelly, and Greg Schiano all immediately come to mind.

And not for nothing, but Matt Campbell is 69-42 as a college coach.  Not bad by any stretch, but far from great.  This would actually be the first year in his 10 year HC career that he finished being ranked in the top 25.

Don't get me wrong, I like the guy.  He's done a good job at Iowa State, I just think he's getting a little too much shine right now.  But who knows, you could have said much of the same about Kliff Kinsgbury too.
