I guess because Pete Carroll and Jim Harbaugh have worked out so well from the Pac 10 -- that helps him? Harbaugh uses tight ends and fullbacks like it's still the 1970's and Carroll is pro style.
If the forward pass was outlawed -- Oregon would have won every Pac 10 game in the last 5 years by 30 points or more.
If all of those stupid sweeps and reads that gash Pac 10 defenses work in the NFL, I will be shocked.

I think the idea is that he developed this offense and recruited players tht fit its strengths because he is a sharp guy. The assumption being that he can adapt an offense that fits to the NFL and whatever teams players he winds up with. I dont think anyone expects him to use this exact offense in the pros.
Nick Saban was a terrible NFL coach. He is a far better dictator/recruiter type coach which works at big SEC schools but doesnt work so well when there is a pesky salary cap and no ability to stockpile talent.
