With the NIL & Portal, yes it sucks. Financially, not really. Example.. Ryan Day made more than 25 NFL coaches this year. Lane Kiffin made more than 22 of them. Luke Fickell more than 21 of them. If you're at a top 25ish helmet school, you make more than more than half the NFL head coaches. Think about it, Lincoln Riley and Kyle Shanahan make the same.

It will be interesting to see how the NIL and portal shape the college game in the coming couple years. It can lead to chaos, negative impact on the entire game and top coaches all trying to sneak their way in the NFL or maybe the chaos leads to a forced intelligent resolution that brings a little stability back and desire to be in the college game.
Destroy the game comes to mind.

No matter what your record is as a coach at bama... it will be decades before people stop comparing the results to Saban and whining that the current coach doesn't get the bama way or is winning enough.   

Been there.. it happens.  You'd hope fans would learn after Bear, but they won't.    I wouldn't touch the bama job if I was a coach.  He had a better thing going at Washington.

That's definitely the way I'm leaning to. I'm hoping if i don't speak it into existence it won't happen. Because that always works
