Not sure you can make a blanket statement like that. If you fell into the right situation with a good owner, GM, HC, personnel, etc, maybe better.As an OC. Hard to believe he would give up a head coaching job at UCLA to be an OC for an NFL team.

Best to act before you are acted uponAs an OC. Hard to believe he would give up a head coaching job at UCLA to be an OC for an NFL team.
Yes, that obviously would make more financial sense but it depends on what his objectives are. Maybe he has enough loot by now.I would rather get fired from my college gig, get the huge buyout and then take the OC job in the pros.
You get to a certain age and maybe spending another year being miserable doesn't seem worth it. There's not much to like about the college game these days other than the money.I would rather get fired from my college gig, get the huge buyout and then take the OC job in the pros.
Spot on. biggest reason Saban hung it up.Some of these college coaches see the current trend of college football and dont like it.
I would find that incredibly ironic if true. Bama benefitted from years of under the table payments but he quits as soon as the playing field is leveled.Spot on. biggest reason Saban hung it up.
There is a back story about Saban's sudden retirement. He was just quoted a few months ago about wanting to coach a few more years.Spot on. biggest reason Saban hung it up.

His wife isn’t in good health.And Saban is tied of fighting the portal it has Nothing to do with paying the players.I would find that incredibly ironic if true. Bama benefitted from years of under the table payments but he quits as soon as the playing field is leveled.
Yes, the portal but also those boosters that dump $$ into the portal and then throwing their opinion into the circle.His wife isn’t in good health.And Saban is tied of fighting the portal it has Nothing to do with paying the players.
Not surprising at all. I think you're going to see a lot more old school head coaches jump to the NFL even as a coordinator to escape the chaos and craziness of today's college football.As an OC. Hard to believe he would give up a head coaching job at UCLA to be an OC for an NFL team.
The days of stacking talent so that it is not available to other teams is over. I think the expansion of the playoff and the portal will have a leveling effect for CFB.His wife isn’t in good health.And Saban is tied of fighting the portal it has Nothing to do with paying the players.
You forgot Lincoln in the aforementioned list.Chip is realizing a week long trip to New Jersey, with whiny California Boys, only to get beat by Rutgers, doesn't sound like the best job he could have. Then he thought more and counted additional trips/losses at Happy Valley, Ann Arbor, Columbus, Chicago, Detroit & eeewwww....Io_a City.
Traveling to Lincoln and coaching in Memorial Stadium is a job perk. Probably a bucket list item for Chip.You forgot Lincoln in the aforementioned list.
No, I didn't, stop lying Katie, you 2-timing hooah.You forgot Lincoln in the aforementioned list.

No structure, no organization, everyone is out for themselves, and high school kids demanding millions in NIL money. You always had to recruit year-round, but now it's recruit year-round in addition to basically fundraising and schmoozing nonstop. And some other school can swoop in and buy your recruit at any moment.
And I'm not even talking about the transfer portal. I'd go to the NFL too if I were them.
Ironic as it may be, it was the truth.I would find that incredibly ironic if true. Bama benefitted from years of under the table payments but he quits as soon as the playing field is leveled.
