If these are actual deterrents, then why are so many NFL coaches staying in the NFL even after they get canned?

They'd rather become a defensive coordinator for the Vikings than take a head coaching gig at a big school.

College is more work really… You make more money and you’re treated better, but you gotta recruit and hobnob with boosters

For those of y'all asking "why was he SOO mad?!".

Being a coach in the NFL IS the pinnacle of coaching football. Being the coach of a storied and stable franchise such as the Pittsburgh Steelers is damn near icing on the cake. Anything less is simply a downgrade.

So everyone suggesting that this black man should take a demotion for a little more money, when he is already rich, is an insult.

I tell you one thing, his answer was essentially the culmination of dealing with racists fans and reporters for 10+ years:russ:

Not just that it's also acknowledged by almost everyone that if he's fired by Pittsburgh he's getting another marquee NFL job damn near immediately. If he's going to the west coast it's for the 49ers or Raiders not USC

Anybody asking Sean Payton about that
full


Anybody asking Andy Reid about that :mjpls:
Someone gonna hit him for playing the "race card" but he's 100% right. What other established, comfortable NFL coach is getting hit with bullshyt college rumors? Why would he want that demotion, having to recruit kids and assure parents...fukk that lol.

Love Tomlin's swag and attitude. You know Terry Bradshaw was disgusted by this...
:mjlol:

Tomlin time is up at pitt. He is better fit somewhere with talent.

But he young. He got a lot of time ahead of him. Only thing is black coaches dont get as many chances to jump around teams being mid like jeff fisher

Owners behave COMPLETELY different mindsets than boosters. No raise and he's good money w/ the Rooney family and got A1 job security so why would he give that up? No matter how much white folks in Pittsburgh love to put the teams failures on his shoulders
The media hyping up this narrative is a GOOD thing for him since it means he’ll just get a raise from the Steelers the bigger the narrative gets

College really isn’t a downgrade anymore… you gotta do more work, but you make more money, and get more respect if you win


More respect?

Coaches that win SB a super bowl are damn near immortalized unless they have a hall of fame roster.

Dabo Sweeney aint got Andy Reid's clout outside of South Carolina. Sean McVay has more weight than Lincoln Riley and McVay doesn't even have any rings. People look at College coaches funny because they have the capability to stack the deck with recruiting.

You gotta win or get to the Natty multiple times in College to be taken seriously. One SB appearance and mostly winning seasons is enough in the Pros.

So basically you don’t watch or understand college football

So now we suggesting my coach go coach some cheats.
In public.
All cause they bit that shyt from some other show tho.

fukk these college receipt writers.

Why do they have a job and a pass.
Plus never gained a real grassroots following.
Like say on a message board.
Or from some grassroots culture based ideal.
Why do they get to line jump.

The issue is,....
why are these phoney ass offbrand biter ass writers.
allowed to speak on shyt just because.

Who are they?


Like frfr.

At this point why are sports writers.
given a job for sumfin.
They not really good at.
Plus have no draw at.
on their own from their own grassroots writing.
