"Marrone recently went through the same transition O'Brien is about to. I felt similarities in their feelings about making the move. Marrone actually felt the transition from college to the NFL was easier than the transition from working in the pros to working in college.

“I think the biggest insight that you gain is the origin of these players, meaning that you’re able to go back and to go into high schools, going into homes of these players,” Marrone said when asked about the differences going from a college program back to the NFL. “We don’t have that opportunity here obviously, we get them at the NFL combine. When you get into more of the background when you’re in their homes and you see the challenges that they have or the adversity that they had to overcome.”
Marrone said going from the NFL back to a college program has more transitions than going from college to the NFL. O’Brien mentioned the difficulties of a college schedule several times during his two seasons at Penn State, citing the lack of time allowed to be spent actually coaching the players, the time and focus spent on recruiting, as well as the different calendar from the pros to college. For someone like O’Brien whose desire to focus on the Xs and Os and being in the meeting room with players every day for several hours at a time are some of the details he previously spoke about enjoying in the NFL.
