Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 468339, member: 628"] There's 10 away games, including pre-season. Training camp depends on the franchise. The Pats train right in Foxboro, so no one is "away" necessarily. The Bills train on Rochester, so not sure if that's commutable for the coaches. I suspect not, which means being away for a month-ish. I mean the stories of NFL head coaches barely knowing their families are legendary. I saw a great documentary on Lombardi last year where his daughter said that he was barely around, and when he was half the time he was so distracted that he might as well have not been home. And that was in the 1960s, I imagine it's much worse in 2013. I would sincerely hope that your hypothesis is wrong, because becoming and NFL HC would seem to be just about the worst way to "save" your family. [/QUOTE]
