re: Is football coach one of the least competitive job markets out there?

Look how long Jeff Fisher hung around.

Better yet, look at Norv Turner. His post-triplet era was 20 years of FAIL and he kept on getting job after job after job. The problem is mostly nepotism, but the refusal to hire outside the fraternity is the big picture issue.

Of course Jeff Fisher is going 8-8 every year. Half the teams he faces are run by Turners, Ryans, Schottenheimers, Shanahans, Shulas, and so on.

I mean, Pete Carroll is an elite coach. I'd be good as a coach too if I was allowed to fail four times before I did something right.
