He will be a HC in the NFL within a couple of years. He ain’t going anywhere.

I would quit supporting LSU if that retard were hired here.
Gus Malzahn responds to question about his interest in LSU job
Gus Malzahn denies interest in LSU opening.www.saturdaydownsouth.com
Malzahn says he’s only interested in coaching the Knights. UCF has struggled this season under Malzahn to a 3-3 record.
Sorry @TigerBait1971 what might have been.

It’s not just the sec. you get with the right program you can weild infinitely more power and influence as a college coach than you can as a pro coach.
There’s a reason Saban is god in the college world but a mediocre dud in the pros. He is allowed to be a megalomaniac at Alabama. That bit didn’t fly with the Dolphins.

I agree with everything you said. I mean not all Power 5 programs are great. Vandy and Wake for example are probably not ideal places to win at.
Overpaid or underpaid?

Joe Brady would be stupid if he didn't take it if offered. He won't be a HC in the NFL until he spends time as a HC somewhere, somehow. Be it as an interim HC of an NFL team or as a HC of a college team.
Pretty doubtful he would get a HC job in the NFL with no experience as a HC. He may not even be qualified to be a HC at a P5 school to be honest....but we'll make an exception this one time! hahaha

I have never coached football at any level, but I’d take the HC job, be fired after a year and pocket a few million

Spot on mate! It's a totally different world from college to the pros....totally different.
What's the statement. "In the NFL it is all about the players. In college it is all about the coaching."
I've always found this as bullshit. If it were so, why the hell is recruiting so important? And old grumpy gut at New England hasn't mattered?

Coach O is currently on the best career projection out there. Get hired by a big time school. Win it all. Earn a huge contract. Lose immediately. Get fired. Still get paid to not do anything.
Its the American dream.

The ultimate goal is to get paid the most possible while doing as little as possible

I think coaching is a bigger deal in college. You can recruit well and still suck (both UTs, USC, FSU, Nebraska, etc. are examples of this).
Granted, I don't think evaluators always get the stars correctly. I love how even the CFB Video Games started showing this until it went defunct. You had 4-5 stars that were sometimes a bust and 3 stars that were sometimes better.

That’s really not how it is working right now. The NFL is definitely trending younger in selecting HCs and they young guys are making waves. As long as you’re a coordinator and making noise then you are in the mix.
Damn! You are objective as hell! But, isn't that un American! Ain't we supposed to always want more? Never satisfied?
When I was a high school principal our superintendent came by my office sometimes right after lunch. He'd say, "Go home. You haven't earned your keep today but we need to balance out those 16 hour days we got to you."
Do you think Saban would have had the same success with rolling four year 30th ranked recruiting classes?

Gary Pinkel had a lot of success at Missouri despite being out recruited by most of his opponents.
UCF in 2018 wouldn't happen if you looked at just recruiting classes.
Look at teams like Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan State, and Wake Forest this year.
Charlie Weis' "decided schematic advantage" taught the Domers & Kansas that!
"With Notre Dame buyout complete, Charlie Weis, including Kansas buyout, got paid $64.5 million for a head coaching record of 41-49. That's $1.6 million per win as a head coach and doesn't even count the money he made as an assistant, though he was overall pretty good as an assistant in the pros... <snip>
Weis made $1.6 million per win as a college HC

Oh, I could always use more money, but like @Illustrious Potentate mentioned, I'd probably have to put in more effort to get it. My current position pays me pretty well and doesn't require those 16 hour days you had to pull.
All that might change if my boss ever retires, and when that day comes all I can hope is that the extra money makes up for the extra amount of work
That's why he's probably making his "gin" in his "cordoned off" basement...
But, yeah... people are dumping their jobs right and left these days. Taking their chances on the "open market". Crappy time to be an employer!
It's "Never Enough"...
