When NFL franchises pluck a head coach from the college ranks, it has been a practice that has seen mixed results. Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer won Super Bowls. Steve Spurrier? Not so much. Let's take a look and see how some coaches who went from college to the NFL and back to college again are faring in their second go 'round.

- Butch Davis, North Carolina: Davis was a successful coach at the University of Miami, going 49-24 before getting hired by the Cleveland Browns. In four seasons there, Davis managed to take the team to one playoff appearance before resigning in the middle of the 2004 season. He has gone on to North Carolina and has compiled a 2-5 record in his first season.

- Nick Saban, Alabama: After guiding LSU to the national championship, Saban went to Miami, going 15-17 before famously leaving for Alabama. The Crimson Tide are 5-2 in his initial season.

- Rich Brooks, Kentucky: Brooks was head coach of the St. Louis Rams for two seasons, in 1995 and 1996, going 13-19. Previous to that, he was Oregon's head coach for 18 seasons. He is now at Kentucky and has them at 6-1.

- Dennis Erickson, Arizona State: Erickson was Miami's head coach, went to Seattle in 1995, and never had a record better than 8-8, though he oddly did that three out of four seasons there. After a stint at Oregon State, he went back to the NFL with the 49ers, going 9-23, including a 2-14 record. Now at Arizona State, he has the Sun Devils in first place in the Pac-10 with a 7-0 record.

- Mike Riley, Oregon State: Riley was the head coach at Oregon State when he left in 1999 to coach the Chargers. His three seasons there were a disaster, as he compiled a 14-34 record, including a 1-15 season in 2000, when his quarterback was Ryan Leaf. He went back to Oregon State and actually replaced the man who replaced him, Dennis Erickson.
