I always felt like, one of the niches is if you can recruit the SEC, you can be a head coach in the SEC.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You've got to be diversified enough. That's the truth in the SEC and in college football.
I might not have a conference championship or a national championship as a head coach, but I had the recruiting factor.
I have a wealth of experience, but I do not want to coach. I rather like the role of recruiter.
I don't feel I'm qualified to be a coach outside the high school level. I think I would need to do more education to really be a good coach.
Will I become a coach in the future? No way. I'd never be able to put up with someone like me.
I never brought it up when I coached, but I have close ties at Ohio State. Unfortunately, I even have a graduate degree from there.
If I miss coaching that much, I could go to some little school where they didn't recruit, where all the kids wanted to go. I believe I could find somewhere to coach.
When I was in college, I was a landscaper. Other than that, coaching has been my life and my job. A lot of people like coaching college, but I would never do it again. There are too many NCAA bylaws, rules and politics.
I went to Alabama, so I'm still very devoted to Alabama football and the SEC.
I don't think about becoming a head coach. I really don't. I'm not oblivious of people who mention it. When you are in any business, people expect to aspire to the top. I guess everyone is supposed to aspire to being the man at the top of the heap. But I never have.
