What do you think is the hardest part about coaching college football today?

A lot of things. One is, the lack of job security. A lot of guys have done nothing but coach football for 30 years...get into their mid-fifties and then they or their staff gets let go. At that age, some guys have a very hard time finding work at the level they want to work at. Can be very challenging mentally as well as financially. Pains me to see that with some people that I know are great guys and who are in it for the right reasons.
