1.) There are a lot of people who have an elitist attitude in regards to the NFL. We saw it with Saban and are seeing it again with Petrino. I hate to tell them, but the days of Lombardi and Landry and Shula are over. The coaches no longer have the control in the NFL and in many respects are handcuffed by salarycaps, and highdollar players who the coaches are forced to play. In college football the coaches are the stars, and many coaches in recent years have learned this the hard way. The NFL guys feel snubbed by this notion, but it is the truth. They can't understand why on earth a guy would leave the NFL to coach in college, much less see that it is a better gig.
2.) I have lost all respect for these guys from the 72 Dolphins, who IMO have shown no class whatsoever. Every night they are coming up with reasons to knock the Patriots, while at the same time distancing themselves from the current state of the Dolphin franchise. Mercury Morriss when asked about his Dolphins struggles said "that is not my team". These guys may have won on the field, but they do not act like winners off the field. What happened to showing your class, and wishing them luck? If the Patriots go undefeated it in no way diminishes what the Dolphins did, they are acting like a spoiled only child who is scared of sharing the spotlight.
