ESPN’s Bill Barnwell rates the Saints as least desirable job for HC candidates [mod edit]

I'll agree that there is a bit more in the NFL but college is catching up. And quick. What they don't publicize in the deals are the quiet "hey, here's a mansion on the lake, a car or three and country club memberships" that total in the millions. And there is more control for a college head coach than in the pro's, which is a big ego stroke for these A type personalities.

And an arse is an arse is an arse and if they are wealthier than you and I, they want it kissed.

I would say that while the NFL is the darling of coaching jobs, college is right next to them and again, catching up very quickly.

I don’t wanna get into a college Vs pro debate, but there is a stigma to coaches that only succeed in college.
For all of Saban’s accomplishments in Bama; he is largely known as a failure in the pro circuit.

Even with the most successful head coaches in college; they become less known as you get further from the college towns and into metro cities that house pro teams.
