It's Firing Time Again

College coaches are under intense pressure to win, to fill the seats, and keep the fans happy. Everyone wants to be a big winner. Heck, so do I, but the reality is not everyone can be the big winner. Last I checked, every weekend the wins and losses are exactly the same. If 100 games are played every weekend there will be exactly 50 winners and 50 losers. If you don't believe me, start checking and counting every weekend (don't really do that). Over the course of a season if 2,000 games are played there will be EXACTLY 1,000 wins and 1,000 losses. It will never change but yet we all want our university to win big and win big every year. And if they don't, fire the coach. Some fans think they have the RIGHT to have a great team every year because it says a certain name on the uniform. Come down off of your high horse.

There are several head jobs open right now in DI football because coaches, good coaches, have been fired. It's the reality we live in now. i don't like this intense pressure to win and the millions we pay college coaches but that's how it is. Here's my proposal.

We're gonna go back to the days when you simply go to one of the professors in the Physical Education department and ask them if they would like to be the football coach. Now, this professor is already making about $100,000 so that's pretty good money in my book. We tell him we will cut his teaching load down from 4 classes a week to only 2 a week to give him more time to coach the team. Just like back in 1920. We'll save a lot of money and keep our coach because he's tenured. And every week, 50 teams will win and 50 teams will lose. nothing will change. It will look like this:

"No one will go see the games!" you cry. Sure they will. They packed the stadiums in 1920 and they'll pack 'em now. We love football and love our teams. Will this ever happen? Of course not, but I had fun talkin about it.   Chiefpigskin.com
