Boston College HC Jeff Hafley leaves to become Green Bay's DC

This is going to keep happening. I firmly believe this had a massive influence on Saban's decision to retire and I think we see a lot more college coaches head for the NFL if they get the chance. Or retire.

I’ll be happy to do it for only 750k.

This will create one mega conference of about 36 or so top teams in the near future.

Pro football coaching provides a more enjoyable lifestyle.

With the money now in major college football programs the job security is no different than in the NFL. Coaches being fired after 1,2,3 years is not all that uncommon any longer. Worse, there’s really no “off-season” in college football. A coach has to basically recruit HS players and his roster 365 days a year. Then, if you get that guy he can constantly leverage you for more money any time because he is a perpetual free agent. Money that can’t come from the school. Instead, it comes from wealthy donors that (a) you have to constantly schmooze for the money and (b) want a say in your program by virtue of them giving it to you.

You’re going to continue to see more college coaches get out.
