Based on their playing careers, according to CBS.

Interesting, I've heard that Solich was a pretty good player back in the day but still kind of amazing how mediocre most of these coaches football careers were.  Guess the stud players who went on to the NFL don't need the money and probably have no desire to spend the time recruiting all year.

I had the same reaction, Buddy. I was very surprised to see how many coaches never even played at the FBS level, much less the NFL. Reflecting on it, I guess the head football coach is very much a management job, and not so much a football job. I suspect the position coaches are more likely to have played, and had success at their positions.

I do think there are some oddities in the order, though. I'd have to say that Solich is probably ranked higher than he should be, and by contrast,  #12 Mike Gundy is ranked lower.

It does seem to be a less and less common occurrence for players who starred in college and especially in the NFL to become head coaches.  Some of the best coaches in the game went to small D3 schools, and for say Nick Saban, lowly MAC schools even!  

While technical knowledge of the game is a must, I agree that coaching is more of a business/management position more so than the strength and/or speed that is required to be a great player.  In many ways a MBA is more beneficial than a Heisman trophy.

It's a lot like MLB and other sports.  The "stars" are too busy focusing on their own performance and getting pampered to pick the other parts of the game.  The backups get to watch the coaches more, so they learn other facets of the game, not just their own position.
