    The I-A coordinator jobs, in the last four or five years, primarily in the upper echelons, have escalated greatly (in salary). On the other hand, it's not all about the money.

    The coaching profession has lost one of its true legends. Though he was best known for winning more football games than any other coach when he retired, Eddie Robinson's impact on coaching and the game of football went far beyond wins and losses.

That will be his greatest legacy.

    There are some outstandingly qualified minority coaches, and one of the reasons I spoke out is that the ones I came in contact with all wanted a I-A job, as do all of our 10,000 members. Reality says, jump in where you can be successful and see what happens.
