I meant to post this a few days ago. But I do get lazy from time to time. Seaside Joe is a Substack site written by Kenneth Arthur about the Seahawks. At one time, he was the editor of Fieldgulls, the Seahawks SBNation site. Arthur is also a Coug.
Anyway, the reason why I am bringing Seaside Joe up is a recent article that he wrote that brings up college coaches.
You would think, “Being an NFL head coach must be harder than being the head coach of a college program” but the opposite appears to be true. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero made a note of that last week on The Rich Eisen Show, explaining that a team like Boston College (who lost their head coach last week when he signed on to be the Packers defensive coordinator) simply can’t keep up with the rapid increase of recruiting cycles:
First you have to recruit high school players to come to your school, then you have you to recruit them (as in you have to recruit YOUR OWN PLAYERS a second time) every January when the transfer portal opens up, then you have to do it again (a third time) when the transfer portal opens for a second time in the spring…this doesn’t include recruiting players outside of your program and it doesn’t include fighting sponsors and boosters who will pay big bucks for prospects through NIL deals.
If schools like Boston College or Washington State or even to some degree Washington lands a big star, there’s no guarantee it won’t be to springboard to a bigger program for more money.
This is part of the reason why I like college sport a little less every year.

Are Seahawks only team left without offensive coordinator?
