All of that is true. Hell, I had a family member part of the SMU scandal. They sure as hell weren't a ND, USC, or something like that until they started cheating. I learned about this later on when I got older. Trust me, they weren't just getting cash, all kinds of ****. Name it. It's always went on.
The way these super leagues are raking in the money - it may be more lucrative to coach some college jobs. Kirby Smart is making more than Andy Reid, Mike Tomlin and John Harbaugh. Crazy.
Yeah, there will always be guys who have it rolling at top and get paid enough to make it work, but the farm programs of CFB, that still pay $3-5m/year are going to lose guys I think
CFB coaches really have no offseason where NFL coaches have a fairly large offseason. College coaches are definitely raking it in, but I think with the transfer portal and NIL, this is going to take a massive toll on coaches that they haven't had to deal with before. Always worrying about every player all year is beyond exhausting
The NFL also has a GM and ops folks to worry about contracts and personnel matters. CFB HCs do it all.
It’s just a lot of oversight for one person and the ultimate recruitment comes from the HC
Didnt the NCAA just lift the cap on coaches. You gotta figure teams with 80 scholarships will have 40 coaches soon.
I think we get very close to this if/when the Power conferences split off from the NCAA and re-organize under the CFP.
Like Bishop Gorman?

Honestly I’d be encouraged if we had droves of players entering the portal. Something’s gotta push this into a nuclear enough situation that something actually happens, and apparently getting blown out by 30+ every week isn’t doing the trick.
Dirk Koetter is back at BSU as their OC?Breaking: Boise State quarterback Hank Bachmeier to enter transfer portal - Bronco Nation News
Boise State quarterback Hank Bachmeier intends to enter the transfer portal, sources confirmed to Bronco Nation News early Monday morning. The news comes two days after Boise State fired offensive coordinator Tim Plough and replaced him with former Boise State head coach and longtime NFL...
Since Bachmeier only played in four games this season, he’ll be able to count the year as a redshirt and get the year of eligibility back. Combined with the bonus COVID season, Bachmeier will have two years of eligibility remaining at his next school.
He was a very solid OC with a pretty impressive coaching tree.
No I’m just surprised he went back to BSU. It’s got to be a little strange having a former HC at the same program working under you when he’s 23 years older. And I don’t think Avalos and Koetter were at Boise at the same time before.
I think he's been wanting to get back in the college game to set up a HC opportunity for a while. iirc, when Hawkins came back in 2010 on the hot seat and pretty much a lame duck, Koetter was in negotiations with CU to be our OC that year - but it didn't happen because he wanted a "Head Coach in Waiting" status with a promise he'd be promoted to HC if Hawkins was terminated.
At least in that scenario Hawkins would have been going back to a trusted coach he worked with before and doing it at another program. Avalos didn’t play for or work with Koetter. It would have been like Hawkins bringing in Gary Barnett as a coordinator in 2007.
That is the next gut punch that could change things, but not sure there are more than 3-5 guys that have any sway on future destinations. Players are aware that there are not a lot of great locations to go and play and so many are just dropping down or out of football
Coaching in and of itself will take a toll on you. This stuff now, even more so. Same time, this isn't new. Now it's legal to do it.
