My guess is coaching becomes more of a stepping stone to the NFL than it has been over the last couple of decades. College used to be a destination for many coaches, I think it becomes more like the training wheels before ascending to the NFL.

Right now, some coaches are getting out of college because they can't stand the out of whack work-life balance. This is not what I think will happen long-term. Coaching in college will become less about relationships and more about teaching alone. The players will be signing multi-year contracts with some entity (the AD, associated 503, etc.) and the goal of coaching will be more about skill development than recruiting. Whatever entity is signing these players for the schools will be handling the bulk of the relationship building. Coaches will coach, scouts will scout, and GM will tender contracts. Very much like the NFL. So the type of coaches you will be hiring are the types who probably will have NFL futures in their eyes.
