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

Considering how most college HC's have to deal with NIL and transfer portal as being permanent relavent factors to contend with in recruiting, building up and consolidating, later on, adding and subtracting a few roster spots annually as years go bye, you might actually see more future college HC's make the leap and transition to being good NFL HC's because they'd have some experience dealing with FA or salary cap-like issues with transport portal and NIL.

And lets be honest, when it comes to NIL, who's most likely to receive these endorsements? Mostly offensive players, like star QB's, RB's or WR's. Maybe the occasional LB or big, rough-and-tumble DE types, but typically O-linemen, D-linemen, starting LB's DB's and CB's aren't the ones racking up huge endorsement deals with Subway or Academy Sports.

Yeah, but it's not just the endorsement deals these days. Teams are straight up writing big checks to the best OL and DL guys. They may not get the publicity to get advertising deals but coaches know they have to write big checks to the best guys in the trenches to get them.

But it is possible that dealing with the new era of NIL and the Transfer portal could give college coaches today some skills that translate to the NFL.
