Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
So, Tim Tebow might want to go into coaching. This sounds like the perfect job for him. But that's not really what I learned from Andy Hutchins' excellent post on the matter at the Sporting Blog. Rather, I learned that among current college coaches who also played college football, Steve Spurrier has the best resume on both fronts. To wit:
1. Steve Spurrier. Remember, the Ol' Ball Coach did win a Heisman back in the day. His path from Florida Heisman-winner to Florida coach would probably be Tebow's ideal arc, if he chooses to coach.
Wait, timeout. Spurrier won a Heisman trophy? Like, Steve Spurrier? And ... yep. It's true. You know how people say "you learn something new every day"? On the Internet, you learn something new every 30 seconds.
And retain none of it! For example, did you know that ... hey, new Nike shoes came out but Call of Duty Modern Wafare War In Afghanistan ooh look at that cute little otter! Wait, what was I talking about?

Believe it or not ...
He also played football in the NFL. Seriously. He did. What are you laughing at?

He even coached in the NFL for a bit, too.

But really, did people not know this already?
When Spurrier was still at UF, and Danny Wuerffel was quarterbacking, the announcers would mention it at least a few times a game.
Great. Now I feel old.
