[QUOTE="BlueFlag, post: 2011312, member: 749516"] College coaching is a tough gig. Lots of schools chasing a finite numbers of wins. Head coaches can make big bucks but if they don’t consistently grab enough wins – the same wins every other head coach is after – they’re gone after a few years. The “half-life” of assistant coaches is even shorter. They move around a lot, and they don’t make the big, big bucks in most cases. Andy Buh didn’t get a coaching job at Purdue. He was hired as an analyst. He’s had 13 coaching stops since 1998. Nothing against Buh, I wish he had been retained. But it’s probably a good example of the life of an assistant coach. Are more coaches moving to the NFL? Maybe they want to, but the NFL certainly cannot absorb them all. [/QUOTE]
