I suspect very few people can consistently work as hard as one needs to work to succeed at the level fans expect at a top tier football program, and maintain that intensity and focus for 20 or 30 years. So, if you don’t want to burn yourself out (get divorced, never see your kids, etc.) and have interests in life besides football, the trick appears to be to work your butt off for 5-10 years to get hired at a top program. Work hard for another 5 years until you’ve locked in a huge buyout. Then slack off, get fired, collect your buyout checks, and enjoy life.
Good analysis, Prince.
Unless you get high enough to get others to do the heavy lifting for you. Nick Sabin has that deal.
“I suspect very few people can consistently work as hard as one needs to work to succeed at the level” What does that have to do with Louisville football?
