If you're discussing head coaches, I think there is, if anything, an 
inverse relationship. If you want great players who became great head 
coaches, the list is pretty short - Bear Bryant and Steve Spurrier come 
immediately to mind - though it obviously depends on your definition of 
"great". The list of good players who became good (e.g., Frank Solich) 
or great (Tom Osborne) head coaches is obviously longer.

But the discussion here is assistant coaches (that, at least is how it 
started), and there I suspect you will find more great players who 
became very successful assistants.

Anyway, since no one in the athletic department or the media has 
suggested that Mike Minter is under consideration to be DB coach, is 
there any point to this thread?
