What makes an NFL job an attractive job for someone that dreams to be a head coach…
- Does the owner pay me well?
- Will the owner provide everything myself and my football staff needs financially?
- Does the owner stay out of the way and not meddle with myself and my football staff?
If those three answers are yes, the job is attractive for someone looking to complete their dream job quest and receive the accompanying life-changing money it brings.
These types of answers suggests an inability to differentiate between good and bad. The first question is relative because all coaches are paid in the millions. Payton and Harborhaur are on higher pay scale than a first time coach.
2 the staff question is tricky because some owners will pay for an all star staff with different type run and pass game advisors. The rams and commanders have these types of staff. We are not that type of franchise. 3 some owners are more hands on than others, with guys like Jerry being on the extreme end. However, you do want the owner to hold you accountable like Gayle just did.
Ultimately, it comes down to how bad the guy wants the job and does he have other options. As we all know, we were Sean's second choice.
