Bo is in 2019 so Pat couldn't be hired as an analyst til 2021. That rule doesn't apply to on field position coaches like special teams coach though if they are apart of the core 10. They can be hired at any point. It doesn't really matter though. As of now, Pat has no desire to coach college ball again. He likes high school ball a lot.

autan 736 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Isn't Bo signing in Dec. 2018? I suppose you're referring to 2019 class. I would expect Patrick to coach HS until second son is graduated before testing college waters again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things can change but that's where his mind is right now. Signing December 2018 doesn't matter. The clock starts when students initially enroll. Bo will enroll January 2019. The soonest AU could hire Pat for a support position if he changes his mind is January 2021. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are all in Central Alabama though. That's the 1st time I've heard Florence. I wish he would come south to Mobile and coach MGM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i heard today that he has a younger brother who might be just as good. Not sure his grade/age. Also heard (grain of salt warning) Patrick will finish this season at Pinson then be HC at Florence High next year. Florence damn are you sure can't imagine him going there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their program and the facilities are getting better though. I’m hopeful that someone like Nix propels Florence.to the next level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that’s the case then Florence is not a bad place. They are obviously willing to pay to get a good coach since they got Jamey Dubose away from Prattville a few years ago and had to pay to do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No inside knowledge but I don’t see why he won’t get back to making college money. We talking 5-10 fold more at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We talking 5-10 fold more at least. Sometimes it's not about money. Barring the vacations they get in July college ball is a 24/7 over 350 days a year job. It's not for everyone. That being said, he would only make more than being a HS HC if he became 1 of the 10 major on field coaches. College support staffers don't make what a good number of HS HCs make. I'm not sure what Pinson is paying Pat but given the teams I've heard courting him for 2019 $70-90K a year (And I mat be under selling that) seems likely from 1 of those schools. That's double to triple what a college support staffer makes. Edited July 27, 2018 by ellitor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bg5 536 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 If he stays in HS there are going to be as many as 3 major HS jobs open in the next couple of years in the B'ham area. Could start as soon as next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given he was fired from his last 2 college jobs it's highly unlikely he would be hired as an on field coach for a college straight from high school. He would probably have to put in 5 years or so as an off field analyst. 25 minutes ago, alexava said: 70-90 k is peanuts....500k 25-30k is even quite a bit less peanuts than 70-90 & as I said it would probably be a long time before he got a 500k opportunity.
