Message: [QUOTE="billsin01, post: 478553, member: 837"] I can see what you're saying but aren't you making an awful lot of assumptions. Let's say, for example, that he's a pretty good NFL coach -- then he could easily put together a 15-year career as a head coach. Let's say he's a terrible head coach -- then are we absolutely certain he would have been the head man here for 15 more years? And why couldn't he come back to college if he wanted to? It's not at all unheardof, particularly give that he at least has the rep of a successful college coach. Plus, there's no telling what perks are in a contract as well -- I'd have to imagine there are many more in the NFL. I can see your argument but I really think, when you're talking future earnings, you're talking potential and there is absolutely no way of ignoring the vast difference in earnings potential of a pro career vs. that of a college career.
