What I am trying to get across is its not work for these people if they really want to do it. It may take 100 hours a week, but if its what you love and what you desire to do, its worth it. And it has nothing to do with money. It has to do with proving you are the best, which is what these people have been doing their whole life. They aren't going to stop any time soon.
But I have a feeling there are a few NCAA coaches who would turn down Pro Jobs. I think even 20 years ago Paterno wouldn't have, nor Bowden. And even though its basketball, Coach K could be offered 20 million a year and he'd NEVER leave Duke

How old are you? 20? 21? How many NFL assistants do you know? How many college assistants do you know? How many times have they had to uproot their families in the past three years? The past five years? The past 10?
You have an extremely naive view of the world if you believe that ANY NFL or college assistant wouldn't give up the grind in a heartbeat to sit in a broadcast booth making $4 million per year, while living in the city of their choice with their family.
Another thing that you haven't considered is that most of these guys don't do this job because they "love it", it's because they can't do anything else. Do you think that guys in their 40's and 50's LOVE moving their families year after year? Do you think these guys "LOVE" worrying about whether or not they'll be able to keep their children in college?
You really don't get it.
