Why Being a CFB Coach Today is like Being a CEO of a Fortune 500 Company

Matt Rhule says being a college football head coach today is like running a Fortune 500 company. When he was at Temple, he had nine assistant coaches and a staff that felt like a family business. Now at Nebraska, he oversees 70 full-time staff members, 80 student workers, and an entire personnel department. His biggest lesson has been simple: hire great people you trust. You can’t do everything yourself, but you have to know what’s happening across the entire organization.
