He'll land at Akron or somewhere terrible and collect a check from them too.
 
College coaches have a racket. The key is to be seen as an relatively young innovative up and comer. You have to create some hype and wins early on, later that doesn’t really matter. Then everyone will interview you. Immediately jump for more money anywhere that offers to buy out your contract. Rinse and repeat until you start losing. Then retire and become a coordinator or TV analyst. Alternatively you can go to a lower level of football and recruit off your past history. The best option to continue to make bank forever is to go through the Nick Saban rehabilitation school for coaches who can’t coach good and want to do other stuff good too.
 
It really is insane, I'd have to think something will give like the NFL rookie cap. You legit have multiple coaches that have failed everywhere they've been, yet continue to get paid multiple millions for failing. Is there another career like that?

Haha. Are you saying the politicos are collecting millions of dollars personally?

Politics is the only profession where people spend millions of dollars and give up careers that pay them hundreds of thousands of dollars to take a job that pays you 150-175K a year.

Then come out on the other side millions of dollars richer supposedly only collecting this paltry 150-175K a year.

LOL, that about sums it up. College coaches are scam artists.
 
If it can’t go on forever, it won’t. And this will definitely not last. The Millennials, once the boomers are done buying tickets and going to games (about 5-7 years away) will not be replacing them in the stands or watching tv. Gen X doesn’t even attend games and watch like the boomers did. If you want a good Twitter follow, EmptySeats is a good one that shows the slow death of live sports in gigantic stadiums. The Sports bubble will eventually pop, I have no idea how it will affect college sports but higher institutions are also on a bubble that are starting to pop as well. It will cause some upheaval in the next decade.

What you're describing is a generation away. Sports will likely always be popular but the attendance issue is mostly due to technology and cost. When you have 65"+ 4k TV's well under a thousand bucks and can see so much more of the game, as well as the savings of ridiculous cost of tickets, concessions, traveling, lodging, etc. You get a decline in attendance

Won’t argue that either. I’ve been to several games over the years where it seems the parking lots are more crowded than the games as people are streaming games to their portable high def big screens.

I agree with this. However somehow they find other ways to collect money. I guess mainly through TV? If people sit and watch they see the advertising. But I have to think people will watch less and less. I know I do. Even last night I didn't watch one second of the Ravens v Pats game.
I don't even know what I am trying to say here. Hahahaha

Just wait until VR becomes the norm. Why go to a game when you can view it on your VR headset.
