Quite a few sucessful college coaches have gone on to regret coaching in the NFL.

Carroll coached in the NFL from 1984 to 2000. He is not a college coach who would flop in the NFL, ala Nick Saban. You've got his career and situation backwards. Furthermore, Carroll has a winning NFL record--and it would be a much better record if the GMs of the teams he coached weren't idiots.

There is no reason why Carroll wouldn't accept an NFL head coaching job, if he were given total authority over personnel.

I know about his pro-career. He was sucessful as both a D-coordinator and head coach of the Patriots and Jets.

"There is no reason why Carroll wouldn't accept an NFL head coaching job, if he were given total authority over personnel."

Yes there is, if he loves his job at USC. Which he does.
