Coach: To me, this isn't about football vs. soccer, or any sport. It's about allocation of increasingly scarce funds to wildly overpay coaches. I appreciate as much as anyone the commitment it takes to teach and coach. I have seen the effort SOME coaches across all sports (in addition to those poor, overworked FB coaches) put into their position. And I commend them.
But the idea that you have a handful of "head" coaches making over $100k a year to drive their own personal Gators and be shadow ADs, nominal instructors, and coaches is laughable. Surrounding them with gigantic (paid) staffs compounds the felony. The idea that many of those assistants "teach" make-work classes and pass out grades like candy is incomprehensible. And defending that expenditure of money is intellectually bankrupt.
One final thought. I know a lot of people in various professions FAR MORE IMPORTANT THAN FOOTBALL COACHING, who routinely work 60-70-hour weeks, year-round, for substantially less money.
