Also, Jimmy Johnson when he was at Miami-Fla. Johnson converted defensive backs into linebackers, and converted linebackers into linemen ...... the result was that he had smaller, more athletic players that were a big part of the continuation of the perennial powerhouse that Howard Schellenberger started before Johnson got there. To a certain degree, Tony Dungy did that when he coached in the pros ...... when asked about having a disadvantage in size because some of his players were smaller/lighter than usual, Dungy said "Give me the athletes." But the examples that you gave (and the one that I added to what you were saying) were not necessarily in the same context of what I was alluding to. Those were all examples of success within coaching systems and coaching philosophies, something that is unquestionably factual (such as the philosophies and success of NFL coaches like Bill Parcells, Bill Walsh, Vince Lombardi, and Bill Belichick) ....... the "thing" that I was referring to was more that of the presumption of failure, like the presumption that a position-player is necessarily doomed to fail in the pros because very few players from the college that he attended ever succeeded at his given position. o
