It goes to show that if you are a hard working coach and believe in your stuff, there really isn't much of a difference football wise. The BIGGEST difference, imho, is our regard for kids. You can read what you want but for the most part, again, imho, the average coach doesn't give a rats A$$ about every kid. They either cut them or run them off. The next biggest difference is the amount of time actually put in at the office. those MF's work their balls off. Many of us, imo, aren't ready to give up our family life and the moving of our families that accompany those who coach in the NFL. It all looks great and fun on Sundays.

I would definitely give almost anything to coach in the NFL. I can only imagine if my only job is all about football, something I love. And I get paid more than well for it. I would make the sacrifices..

Sorry, but I have to disagree.
Really, there isn't much of a difference football wise? Have you been there, done that or is that just an opinion. Because I can tell you there is a difference from high school to college - been there done that - football wise. And it is not about how hard you work - it is all about who you know!!! I wish it were about hard work, but that just is not the case.

Unfortunately that seems to be true. A football prodigy that may have not had the size to play in college or the NFL will have a much harder time landing a job than someone who once was involved in the program as a player. Not that they are necessarily more knowledgeable of the spot, but because they have a relationship with people in the system already.

all about who you know, not what you know. That gets you there. What you know keeps you there. |

Wasnt that guy on ESPN back in 1999 or 2000? His team was one of the first to have a "reality" football show.

My expierence is that the average coach does care about kids. Most of them are misguided or hold different values true to their heart than most. You dont coach any sport for any amount of time if you're not about the kids. Those clowns usually phase themselves out. Kinda like A-11....... |
