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.
