I agree on the quality of current coaching positions concerning NFL vs CFB. I am referring to the future. Watch, Dabo is somewhere on the list and he will decline as well. The future of the NFL is bleak. The future salaries of the average NFL head coach are going to crash. The NFL can't support current expenses with half full stadiums. I give it 1 maybe 2 more years and the Chargers file for bankruptcy. Ultimately, they will not be able to pay players salaries and it's going to get ugly.
The NFL peaked about 3-4 years ago. The tickets and concessions for NFL games are not realistic. They have based ticket prices on corporate deals which have completely written off the average dude.
The start of the demise of the NFL occured in the mid 1990's with free agency. This killed the dynasty team in Pro football and hyper accelerated the boom bust cycle concerning wins. Free agency has insured that most teams are bad far longer than they could possibly be good.
Ah I see. Sorry I missed your point before hand.
I don't think it will be quite as bad as you say 2300, but it will decline. Same with baseball and basketball. You can't keep gouging the average Joe and expect the growth to continue in order to offset rising player salaries. TV contracts have helped more than anything, but attendance in the three big sports will continue to decline if tickets/merch/concessions continues to rise.
The best thing for college sports is they don't have to pay the players.
