Schiano's sons

[NewJerseyGuy]

Technically no one on the staff contributes anything to winning games unless you count Howard as a win

Yes. We are 1-0 in the Howard season!

Like many coaches (Harbaugh as an example), the new era of data/metrics has taken the human element out of sports. Baseball is a great example. The entire sport is metric driven. You don't even need a manager anymore. In Schiano's quest to become a better coach, he's gone completely down a rabbit hole, which has lead to more losing.

There is a place for analytics in sport, but not when it defies what you are seeing with your own eyes.

Black jack is a perfect example of this concept. Schaino is the black jack player who plays by the rules no matter what. He refuses to adapt because that what the "rules" say. A great black jack player (card counter) is aware of the rules but knows when to deviate from them. When the count is high they deviate from the analytics and are able to take advantage when the deck is stacked in his favor.

But but but they’re cheap!!! And they volunteered for 3 years.

I can’t imagine living in my parent’s basement 3 years removed from college. Asking mom and dad for $100 so I can take some girl out on a date. All because I’m volunteering rather than earning a paycheck. Talk about the definition of entitlement and nepobaby.

I don’t know if his sons are good coaches. Will be good coaches or will become great coaches but you just described the life of basically every GA coach. As well as, a large number of young HS coaches.

Exactly why I said multiple times in this thread and others. Very few coaches will bring their sons/relatives in without them getting experience other places. It’s not good for optics. Pick up the phone and get them experience other places. And “volunteer GA” went away many years ago. If they were GA it would have been mentioned. It wasn’t.
So young high school coaches now delay a paying career to work 16-18 hrs/day for daddy for free?

Also there are very specific rules for GA’s. Which obviously the sons were not;


NCAA Rules and Requirements

• Education Requirement: Must be enrolled in at least 50% of a regular graduate program (except potentially during a final graduating term).
• Timeline Limit: Generally limited to 2 years of service, though a 3rd year may be granted under specific credit-completion rules.
• Eligibility Window: Must have received their first bachelor's degree or exhausted their playing eligibility within the last 7 years
• Education and Work Mix: GAs balance full-time or part-time graduate studies with heavy hours supporting the football program.
• Compensation: Instead of a full coaching salary, GAs typically receive a monthly stipend, health insurance, and a tuition waiver or credit.

I don’t know what else you wrote in this thread. I was responding to this

yes, that is the lifestyle many young coaches lead

I coached. Had many friends that pursued the lifestyle as a career. I can tell you personally none of us lived in our parents basements, asked mom for $100 and delayed a paying job. We all worked and then coached. Or they went the “GA” route as a full time career. What you describe is definitely not the norm.
