Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 467182, member: 628"] The NFL is the pinnacle of football. It is the best of the best. There are 32 head coaching jobs in the NFL. I suspect there are tens of thousands of guys coaching at the high school and college level in America today, most of whom would murder a drifter with their bare hands to get an NFL HC job. I don't know why people concoct such convoluted scenarios. Doug Marrone is a crazy ambitious football coach who wants to, whether now or later, try his hand at the highest level. He also knows that if he logs a couple of 4-8 seasons at SU he'll get run out of town on a rail. All this being said, the life of an NFL HC coach is sheer torture. You have to have something seriously wrong with you to want to do that job. It's 18 hour days, 365 days a year. There may be differences in responsibilities vs college, but its still hell. [/QUOTE]
