Bull ****ing shit.

I've been saying this for YEARS.

People have suggested this with Trent Green. People have suggested this with other successful QB's.

The bottom line you cracked out drug addict is that NO ONE who's made in excess of $10 million per year is going to leave their wife and children at home while they toil for $250k per year, 100 hours a week.

Not.

Gonna.

Happen.

****.

You.

Go ahead and name all the players that earned in excess of $10 million during their playing days that have become position coaches.

I'll be waiting.

It may not be their earnings so much as the fact that when these guys are 34 and 35 and done playing, they are married and probably have kids... they are ready to have a family life because they've postponed that part of life for so long.

FWIW, Bryant Young was the defensive Graduate Assistant for ND this past season. I heard he may become the DL coach at San Jose State.

It's just silly, altogether.

When guys have made an exorbitant amount of money, they're 99.99999% less likely to become a coach, especially if they are already earning millions in the booth.

It's simple common sense.

He's leaving ND to go to Akron

I wouldn't have said that because I'm not a ****ing idiot.

The only consequences to your posts is that you show how ridiculously stupid you are each and every time.

That's the second time today beachtribe has alluded to whipping Dane's ass.

The Hymenization of the ballwashers continues.

Just curious here....how much money do broadcasters like Gannon make? I realize he made his money as a player, but I've always wonder. I'm sure top guys like Simms/Nantz make a lot more, but just curious.

Gannon? About $4 million per year.

Hell, our local sports broadcasters like Jim Hill earn in excess of $2 million per.

It's a cushy, cushy job.

It seems quite apparent to me becoming a coach has less to do with money than people think. Coaches aren't driven by dollar signs, they're driven by success. They're driven by wanting to be able to say they're better than everyone else, and be the greatest at what they do. I think a lot of times these coaches who go from NCAA to NFL do so not for the money (Saban was making more than enough money at LSU) but because its the ultimate proving ground; if you can make it there then you are the best.

I know its not football, but a prime example of this is Gretzky. He had no need for money going back into the league as a coach. But he wanted the challenge and to be successful again.

DeBerg is the guy I cited as Cassel's 'upside'.

If we're looking to turn Cassel into a moderately acceptable QB, DeBerg would be a good choice.

Though ideally we'd can Cassel's ass and keep hunting for a legitimate NFL starting QB, in which case I think we should set our sights a little higher than DeBerg.

This has absolutely nothing to do with your question.

99.999999% of the guys who earned in excess of $10 million dollars while playing in the NFL are not going to leave their wives and children for the grind of working as an assistant coach. They're not going to work 70 to 100 hours per week, especially while earning in excess of $4 million per year in the broadcast booth.

Bringing up Gretzky, a guy who was part owner of the franchise he coached, is irrelevant to football.

Oh and you're crazy if you don't think it's about money: Otherwise, why would they all have agents?

Rich Gannon will work for free he loves the Chiefs.
