I was going to post an counter argument, but I Googled Urban's net worth and it was less than I thought it would be. Plenty to live comfortably for the rest of his life, but not generational wealth level. A 2 year flameout in the NFL still gets him pretty much an college job he wants if he still wants to coach. Day is doing well enough that tOSU fans probably won't care by that point.

I honestly, and not simply as a Buckeye homer, thought he was a phenomenal analyst. I always thought that paid pretty well. Regardless, I'm not sure it's a money thing for Urb. Some people are just wired differently, he's probably just wired to coach...even if it means burning out every couple of years.

25M invested into an income bearing fund and treated like a university endowment (4% annual disbursement, any returns above that plowed back into the nut) gives an annual income of 1M taxed as capital gains. I assume he's been able to bank at least 25M from his college salaries. Living on 1M+ hedged against inflation annual income and leaving your daughters an estate in the mid eight figures, I think would qualify as generational wealth. It may not be Bezos wealth, but it's still pretty generational in a country where half the population can't afford an unexpected 5K emergency.
