In your minds, is coaching in the NFL better than coaching a perennially top 25 team in college? Rocker got me thinking about it earlier today and I just don't see it, and this isn't butthurt. I would give him a War Eagle if I saw him and wished him luck in everything he does.

What do you guys think?

Everyone is different but I'd much rather coach a college team than have to put up with whiny millionaire's complaining about their contracts.

I agree with you on it. I absolutely get the appeal of not having to frick with recruiting 365 days a year on top of doing your job though. Personally, I would love coaching a top 25 team much more than any NFL team, but I also don't have nearly the love for the NFL that I do for college football.

I love college football more, but I can imagine recruiting gets really fricking old if it isn't something you really love.

It depends on which perennially top 25 team you're coaching. If it's at a place like Alabama, Texas, Florida, LSU, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Nebraska, I would take that any day over being the head coach of a NFL team. I mean let's face the facts here. Saban could have won ten Super Bowls at Miami and he still wouldn't have gotten half the attention and adulation from Dolphins fans that he gets from Alabama fans now. At places with no pro sports teams coaches like Saban, Stoops and Pelini are treated like kings.
