Pete is a great college coach but its not like he is totally out coaching everybody on the football field in NCAA (ok Lloyd Carr, but does that really count). In the NFL he won't have the talent inbalance he has built for himself at USC. Hes a great recruiter, thats what makes him so good. Im not sure he will be able to transfer his style to the NFL anyway, his fun but serious approach works in college and it helps they are winning. What happens if he starts losing, Atlanta hello, the 'loosey goosey fun in the sun' stuff you hear about may end up getting frowned upon by the high paid players. USC is a great place for him. If he leaves for the NFL and thinks he can come back to college and turn it on again and take any program to a perenial NC contender he should take a look at Steve Spurrier, it aint easy.
