NIL is going to push good college coaches out

I think one of the unintended consequences of the state of CFB will be quality coaches leaving. NIL, the state of recruiting, transfer portal etc all seem like major headaches for college coaches to handle. Today was one of the first major examples I can think of where it seems this is the case.
Boston College HC Jeff Hafley is leaving BC to be the Packers DC. Hafley has brought BC to bowl eligibility in 3 of his 4 years. No small feat for a program like BC.
“He wants to go coach football again in a league that is all about football,” a source told ESPN. “College coaching has become fundraising, NIL and recruiting your own team and transfers. There’s no time to coach football anymore." - Pete Thamel

There’s only so many head coach openings.

Don’t blame them.
NFL OC/DC has to be a nice gig. One decent season, you’re a hot name. A bad season, get fired and just retread with another team. No recruiting 18-25 year olds, no booster kiss arse, no media, get to sit in press box all game with snacks.

Bye, these HCs get paid handsomely to manage young men and NIL is the new thing on their plate, so deal with or there will be another coach who will

And money will pull them right back in if they really are good.

I’m not sure if I agree
You can be paid millions to be fired. Not sure how that works if you walk away

Old heads may move along because they just don't want to build the requisite skill sets to work in the new world but there are plenty of coaches to fill any vacuum that occurs.
Lots of people retired when various industries computerized or otherwise changed significantly, it is to be expected: next man up.

The transfer portal is the biggest issue. NFL players are at least on some sort of leash. College players can jump ship anytime they want to with zero consequences.

Probably a fabricated quote. Pete is a known liar

Not a lot of jobs out there paying in the high six, low seven figures. College coaches will get over it.

NIL is an abomination to football purists so it makes sense. Just a shame certain people couldn’t leave well enough alone.
