While the top NFL coaches make more than the top NCAA coaches, I would bet that the average over the top 25 is higher in the NCAA.

--not having to travel around the country going into 17 year olds living rooms and beg them to come to your school

Granted - that's probably the killer.  Still, the better your team, the easier it is to recruit, and there's no salary cap to pull you back toward parity.

--the ncaa

How so?  The overwhelming majority of coaches have no problems with the NCAA since they, you know, follow the rules.

--its the top football league in the world

Highest level of talent yes, but weren't you just arguing that NCAAF was the best sport on TV?  I think every coach wants a shot at the NFL, but NCAAF is a cushier long term deal.

im not saying the nfl is for everyone but there are many reasons to coach in the pros vs college

and dont underestimate the ncaa factor..even if youre not getting caught for doing anything wrong the ncaa is an absolute nightmare to deal with

also i believe carroll makes like 3 million now which i believe is less than the nfl avg

Good point.  you can maintain long term stability at one school simply by keeping your school competetive for major bowls and the occasional national championship.

Javon Walker will need to restructure his contract to remain in Denver.

Coach Mike Shanahan added that Walker could need microfracture surgery in the next two to four years. If Walker does leave, Denver would need a No. 2 receiver to pair with Brandon Marshall as Shanny favorite Brandon Stokley is best suited to the No. 3 role. Jan. 11 - 11:44 am et

Pacman Jones reportedly punched a female lawyer at the Body Tap strip club in North Atlanta on January 3rd.
Jones apparently entered the manager's office, accusing the club of stealing money from him and falsely accusing his entourage of owing a tab. Jones reportedly lunged at the woman multiple times during the meeting, in what the lawyer said was an attempt at grave bodily harm. Jones didn't connect until afterwards in the hallway, when he reached around a security guard to "sucker punch" the woman. Not only could this be a violation of Jones' parole, it could result in the league delaying his March return to football activities, and certainly make the Titans less willing to welcome him back.

Good riddance, Pacman.

[Sgt PSN]

The only thing worse than punching a woman is sucker punching a woman.  Donkey punching, however, is still acceptable. 

At least he has his wrestling career to fall back on because he's likely done in the nfl.   

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Donkey punching, however, is still required.

Norm Chow just got canned.

Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Jason Garrett is reportedly deciding between the Ravens' head coaching job and the Cowboys' counteroffer which would match the Ravens' salary to stay as offensive coordinator.

The Ravens should have the advantage because they are not only expected to outbid the Cowboys but they can give Garrett a head coaching title.

If Garrett is hired, he likely will name former Miami Dolphins head coach Cam Cameron as his offensive coordinator, a source said.

There has been speculation that he could hire either Dom Capers or John Harbaugh as his defensive coordinator. Capers is the former Dolphins defensive coordinator, and Harbaugh is the Philadelphia Eagles' secondary coach.
