Lots of coaches never actually played football

Mike Leach

Bill Belichick

David Cutcliffe

Hugh Freeze

Sonny Dykes

George OLeary

Charlie Weiss

Just a short list of coaches I found and the list is from 2014 so I’m sure there are more.

And a lot of successful ones played at some DII school and got fifty total live reps.

This shite never mattered.

Mike Leach played college rugby

Yes, Bill Belichick did play college football

Cutcliff was recruited by Bear Bryant and failed the physical going into his freshman year, and Bryant put him to work as a manager in the football dorm

Freeze and Dykes played college baseball

it has always mattered

college players don't respect coaches who never attempted to play any sport in college

“In 2024, Fisch signed a seven-year, $54 million contract. That contract as of 2025 includes a $10 million buyout. A reasonable buyout considering the buyouts of Brian Kelly and James Franklin”

The author seemingly doesn't even know the difference between a school buyout and a coach buyout. I think Brian Kelly’s buyout was 2 million and Franklin’s at 1 million.

I’m not sure how I can take any of this seriously if they don’t know this basic fact in their own industry.

Lombardi never played in the NFL. Maybe I’m being too broad in my thinking of what constitutes having never played.

Fair enough to call me out.

I doubt it. We aren't paying that 11 million or so buyout for him.

Florida will get a good one with Fisch. It’ll take a couple years but he’s a good catch to UF

I just don't see the big boosters paying to get him with that buyout and what he would make. He would need more of a track record. Kiffin gets a pass on that because he is at Ole Miss with a much smaller buyout.
