Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
BREWSTER STILL LOOKING FOR A BREAK. Former Ohio State offensive lineman Mike Brewster wants to coach college football so bad he hung his résumé above the urinals at a coaching convention in Charlotte.
I figured a guy with his credentials could pull down a graduate assistant job with that ingenuity. The market seems to be a tougher nut to crack than that.
From Sports Illustrated:
So far, the placement hasn’t landed Brewster a GA job, but plenty of coaches saw his résumé. Three told me about it within a few minutes of walking into the convention last month. And the move should help Brewster’s case. Everyone else pegged their resumes to a board their targets probably wouldn’t read. Brewster quickly improvised and put his in a place where they were guaranteed to be seen by everyone. That’s the kind of ingenuity that can help a coaching staff, and it’s the kind of thing that helps separate a job seeker in a crowded field.
But improvisational skill isn’t the only trait Brewster will need as he embarks on his college coaching adventure. The field is tough to break into, and it has gotten tougher as the salaries at the highest level have risen. Everyone wants to make Jimbo Fisher money—or Dave Aranda money for the aspiring coordinators—but the path to those millions is littered with low-paying, heavy-workload jobs that chew up and spit out those who just want to get rich. The ones who make it are the ones who don’t plan to make any money but know they’ve found their calling.
Brewster and the other job-seekers like him can take some advice from those who have already climbed the ladder. One of the best pieces of advice? Coach because that’s what makes you happy, not because it might pay well.
Coaching is a lot like blogging in that regard. It ain't for the faint of heart and you can only succeed if you eat, breathe, and sleep the game.
What separates coaching is the multimillion dollar pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
