Schiano will do well in Tampa. I want to bring up something that has been on my mind about the pay rates of players vs coaches in the NFL. Its true, most players on an NFL team make more money than the guy who is responsible for them, who gives them orders, who stays 50 extra hours a week to make sure all is well, the Head Coach. Why is that? Why is the guy in charge not making better money? In any other place of employment, as you go up the ladder, you usually make more, much more, but not in the NFL.
Rodger Goodell needs to put in some sort of rule that the Head Coach should make the average pay of his 53 man roster. Why not, the Head Coach is responsible for what happens on and off the field with his players. With more responsibility should come more money, IMO. Anyone else agree?

I don’t think that is a viable idea. People get paid what other people think they are worth. If people value coaches more than players, they get paid more than players. If coaches get paid the 53 man avarage, you will see alot of coaches want to overpay players to max out the cap, and alot more cheap owners paying little for starters to keep another salary down. Some coaches deserve more than others, let them earn it.

Also, remember this was the Buc’s 2nd choice for HC.

He definitely did some great things at Rutgers and is detail oriented indeed (a huge trait foa all coaches if they hope to succeed) I just question his direction with his staff if he really is detailed oriented.

If Shiano doesn’t find a way to measure these somewhat heavy handed things. They seem small, but they build, and they can pile up quickly, leading to bigger issues. He’ll find his way out of there in a couple years.

Why is this a story? I completely agree with the first poster. Making a headline out of nothing.

When they come in from practices in July and August they will have brisk meeting rooms at 65 degrees to relax and still concentrate in!

You call me a Dunce but end it with a question mark–so who’s the real dunce here? I was making a joke as if to say “Too bad he can’t make it cold outside too” I realize your a Buc’s homer and need EVERY bit of good news you can get but chill out dude

***********

no, it’s not true. Yeah, Vincent Jackson makes more money than Schiano, Tom Brady makes more than Belichek, Peyton Manning makes more than Fox, etc, every team has a few, but which team has more than half the players making more money than the HC? can you name one, or five, or “most”,

… or, will you just keep making up statistics?

Here is a guy who know nothing about either Bobby Petrino or Greg Schiano. How does being detail oriented and demanding equal “treating grown men like children?” Petrinowas disliked because, among many other things, he wouldn’t even speak with his players half the time. He kept his door closed. Schiano has been lauded for being open, straightforward and honest, by players and anyone who meets him.

*derp, derp, derp* Hey, this guy was a college coach and now he’s coachin’ on some team or other I don’t foller. I herd o’ some other guy once who was a college coach, so I’s gonna say that one is like the other! *derp, derp, derp*
