Fair concern, but that's gotta be a concern about every D1 head football coach with how the sport is changing the last few years.

I agree with you that many coaches are rethinking whether they want to operate in this new reality whether they admit it in a generic exit interview or not, but "every" might be too broad a brush - I think we're getting to the point where its getting easier for those in positions like an AD to identify who's embracing the new reality and who isn't

Not a coincidence that Harbaugh, Saban, Chip, and BC's coach all either left the college game or tried in the same season.

Agreed - but there are clearly also guys like Lanning, Kiffin, Riley, and Deion who are fine with it/embrace it (even if neither you nor I do)

Absolutely. But it whittles the pool significantly. I'll bet Riley is in the NFL within a few years though. Overrated coach imo. Had a generational talent at QB and they were mediocre.
