Harbaugh to the WWE, 9 other coaches that would excel in other sports

Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen showed off his athletic prowess Monday, completing the Boston Marathon in 4:28, despite having never ran over five kilometers before.

That's certainly an impressive feat, and the fact Mullen raised over $40,000 for charity makes it even better.

While the public mostly associates the following men with the sport of football, Mullen's performance begs the question, what other sport would we like to see these coaches partake in?

Here's ten that would prove highly entertaining.

1. Jim Harbaugh, WWE

This might be the easiest transition for any coach to another sport, because Harbaugh basically went full wrestling character a year ago. In the past year the Michigan coach has slept over at recruits' houses, sang the national anthem at a Lil Dicky concert, hung out with Ric Flair, and blasted the NCAA and other coaches for banning satellite camps. His phrase "attack this day with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind" would sell millions of t-shirts. Vince McMahon, make the call already!

2. Charlie Strong, Powerlifting

Charlie Strong sounds like a fictional character who made an underdog run to glory in weightlifting at the 1976 Olympics. The name is almost too perfect, and Strong certainly has the frame to match. The powerfully-built Texas coach has faced a mountain of resistance from the Longhorn faithful during his two years with the program, and has pushed them aside time after time. Get this man a singlet and some chalk!

3. Butch Jones, Hockey

Tennessee blew three leads in the fourth quarter in 2015, so Butch Jones' move to hockey follows some pretty simple logic - there's only three periods.

4. Nick Saban, Rec League Co-ed Slo-Pitch

Now this has the potential to be comedy gold. Picture the ultra-competitive, super serious Alabama coach berating Gladys from human resources for failing to turn the double play. Saban only stands 5-foot-6, but it's probably a safe bet he demands to play shortstop and bat cleanup. Also likely that he insists that everybody "plays the game the right way."

5. Mike Leach, Fencing

Washington State's eccentric coach has already published a book called "Swing Your Sword," and speaks often of his love for pirates. He would certainly add some excitement to the fencing world.

6. Will Muschamp, Volleyball

The newly-minted South Carolina coach has earned the moniker "Coach Boom" for his sideline outbursts. With the right coaching, Muschamp could harness that aggression and put it behind a powerful smash, leaving carnage on the opposition's side. It would probably look a lot like Ben Stiller's performance in "Meet the Parents."

7. Mark Dantonio, Basketball

The Michigan State coach gets confused for former NBA coach Mike D'Antoni on a regular basis, so this move seems easiest for everyone involved. Dantonio is very good friends with the Spartans legendary basketball coach Tom Izzo, so with his instruction, the future could be bright.

8. Bob Stoops, Golf

With the summer representing the offseason for football, many coaches are avid golfers, and Oklahoma's Stoops is no exception. He holds an 11-handicap, and earns the spot as the golf representative for his performance in this year's AT&T Pro-Am.

9. Kliff Kingsbury, Surfing

Kliff Kingsbury is undoubtedly the coolest coach in the country, so the Texas Tech frontman's move to the beach seems spot on. His Texan drawl only adds to the cool factor, but the fact he's probably the only coach in the country who looks good in a bathing suit seals the deal.

10. P.J. Fleck, Rowing

The Western Michigan coach runs his program by the phrase "Row the Boat," so a move to competitive rowing would likely excite Fleck to no end. He certainly has endless energy that would serve him well in either single sculls, or a team-based event, and the post-race quotes could be fantastic.
