In today's environment if most college football head coaches do not win every game or experience a few seasons that the "always agitated natives" don't find to their liking, then the smoke signals are sent out that they are on the charmingly referred to "Hot Seat", which is code for…you are a dead man walking!
The smart college coaches will follow the Chip Kelly game plan: Send an agent out to structure the biggest contract possible with a school who’s administration is on the aforementioned “Hot Seat” and has as much to lose as you do if things don’t go smoothly—this way they’ll defend you all the way to the gates of ****…when you are riding high with the college team briefly detour to the NFL for a big payday claiming you are a football genius and the savior--when you don’t win numerous Super Bowls and the usual suspects call for your dismissal you can return to college football for yet another huge cash windfall…beforehand, knowing the predictable calls for your execution will come make sure every action you take, whether it’s good for the team or not, reflects well on you…pick an area within the teams you are coaching and place all of your focus on that area, which later will force people to concede you are an expert at blah, blah, blah and place it at the top of your resume…it is imperative that any team you accept a job with has the added benefit of the media claiming that a big, multi-year rebuilding job will be required, thus more time and more money before the yelps for your execution come along.
Other coaches and agents now understand the lay of the land. Many will follow the plan above, then they too could earn close to $100 million, like Chip Kelly has done, which oddly enough in many ways comes as an unwitting courtesy from the “fans” (Ha! Ha!), who hate them so much.
****, Al Golden missed his opportunity when the Shapiro debacle crash landed on the University of Miami. He foolishly believed that his loyalty for a program in a death spiral would in-turn earn him loyalty from the ‘what have you done for me lately (5 minute goodwill time span) fans’ (Ha! Ha!). Had he immediately bugged out Miami fanatics would have been screaming about his departure like caged hyenas at feeding time, which would have been interpreted by various administrations that Golden was a hot commodity. Thus, some school(s) would have backed-up a dump truck to his door filled with green money and a contract that would have eventually caused the temporarily triumphant athletic director to be fired. Al had one terrible agent!
As a quick sidebar; coaches know that even prior to taking a new job there is a healthy dose of “fans” (Ha! Ha!) who despise them and live everyday trying to fulfill their predictions of failure so they can gleefully say…told you so!
So, when you read that Jimbo Fisher is considering leaving FSU or Gus Malzahn’s agent has been negotiating with Arkansas know that they are being very smart by staying ahead of their current “fan base” (Ha! Ha!), who will sooner or later issue a fatwā against them as they attack with verbal pitch forks, swords and hanging nooses, while calling for their severed heads to be shoved down on a stanchion decorated with their schools colors.
Advantage Coaches!!!
