leaving the NFL to return to college. Saban doesn't count since he was a failure at Miami, neither does Bobby Petrino he was 3-10 when he quit in Atlanta.

Pete Carroll was out of the NFL when USC hired him, he did win a division title at New England. But you couldn't really consider him a successful NFL Head Coach at the time he came back to college.

Bill Walsh. I’ll never forgive him for 1992. - RagingBull 2020-06-29 16:35:51
Agreed; Saban actually had a great rationale for Alabama - Irish2003 2020-06-29 15:20:58
