I think its easier to be a college coach than an NFL coach. You actually have an off season.

And you have more control over players -- you can run off thugs, guys with bad attitudes and head cases. It isn't like the NFL where a dickhead like Jay Cutler can put you in salary cap hell.

The money is roughly the same -- shite if Michigan wants to give Harbaugh $8 million, that's better than NFL salaries. Plus, the cost of living in Ann Arbor is a lot lower than the Bay Area. And the quality of life in most college towns is a lot better than many NFL cities.

I mean, to me, unless you hate recruiting and dealing with boosters, coaching at a big-time college is preferable to the NFL.

There is no off season. Chip Kelly has confirmed this. An NFL coach actually has more of an off season than a college coach.

Right after your bowl game you're on a plane recruiting. Then National Signing Day. Then spring practice and the spring game. Then before you know it Fall practice begins.
