College football certainly has entered a very different era from where the sport was just a few years ago, and the changes have been uncomfortable for a number of coaches. However, Kenny Dillingham, the fiery 33-year-old coach of Arizona State, doesn’t want to hear complaints from those lucky enough to be in his position.
During a radio appearance on the Bickley & Marotta show Wednesday, Dillingham was asked about the trend of head coaches leaving those jobs, perhaps prematurely, due to the issues created by things such as NIL and the transfer portal. His response was incredibly sharp.
“At the end of the day, I joke around, but you know how many people want my job?” Dillingham said. “You know how many people want my assistant coaches’ jobs, and my analysts’ jobs, and the [quality control] and the [graduate assistant] jobs? So don’t complaint about what we do. We’re blessed!
