I don’t see it that way. If I was Kellen Moore and I had the chance to be HC at a great program like Boise State, I would do it. Boise is a really good program. They can recruit the West coast well and have been a good starting platform for rising young coaches like Chris Peterson.
KM’s only 33. He’s not ready to be a HC in the NFL. (That wouldn’t stop Jerry from naming him as a HC of course) But also, if he does well at Boise, his NFL experience would allow to come back in the league as an experienced coach at both levels. It would be a great move for Moore’s long term career.
I tend to agree.
I know the NFL is the NFL. But man. Being a college head coach is damn near just as good nowadays.
the pay is comparable for some of the biggest programs. The fame
And notoriety is comparable. I mean if you’re a successful college coach in some areas of the country you are just as beloved a figure as most NFL coaches.
the media coverage for major college football is almost as strong as it is for the NFL.
sure the NFL is a step up. But it’s easy to see how plenty of college coaches could easily be perfectly content with being a college coach.
plus it’s not like he is taking a job at some small college. Boise is a very well known and respected program.
