I found this very interesting.  Crazy how some of these guys signed new deals just this year only to be fired, and the cost.  I mean, what a severance bonus

If I was a young buck, I would assist in some way for my college team while I was in school.  Just get connections, don't get any money.  Then, I would try to hitch my wagon to some great coach in the NFL.  I don't care if I start as the guy that does the team laundry.  Just connect with the best.  Watch and learn.  Grow and develop in their franchise.  

Coaching trees can be traced back to about three guys right now:  Belichek, McVay, and Shanahan.  If you were smart and served those guys and learned everything you could from them, you could probably get an assistant job somewhere are then it is up to you to prove yourself.  Win in the NFL and you write your ticket. 

I mean, how the HELL is Lovie Smith a coach in the NFL still?  Must be because he took the Bears to the Super Bowl....even though he didn't win.  

The best part is you aren't physically wrecked like the players.  You just have a lot of hours to put in, but it is a game, and would be a blast.
