you act as if one can just wake up and one day and enter the football coaching field at or near the top.
usually one's career starts as a graduate assistant and the individual works their way up the system to HC. it takes YEARS to learn the profession and then only the top get the chance to be the head guy. same as working for a big company.
counting college and the pros there are probably around 200 positions available and there are thousands of guys competing for one of those jobs. it is intensely competitive and one of the hardest positions to obtain in the sports world. I liken it to being a CEO; a company may have thousands of employess but the have only one CEO.
