Like, am I the only person on earth that doesn't think all football coaches are lying piece of crap scumbags?
I've met a lot of college coaches at all levels (D1, 1AA, D2, D3, NAIA, juco) and most college coaches are lying piece of crap scumbags. The older guys (60 and up), not so much. Don't know if it's an age thing, a generation thing or they're just experts at concealing their sliminess, but for whatever reason older coaches come off much more sincere and honest.
If you go through every college coach from grad assistants just starting out to veterans in their mid 50s, 95% of them are used car salesmen. The only difference is nobody cares if a successful coach is a dickhead. Nick Saban is one of the biggest assholes in the game. People wouldn't tolerate him if he didn't win so much. Same deal with Petrino. If his career record was .500, he would never coach 1A football again after his motorcycle incident.
