Liam Coen says he made $16,000 with no benefits as an NFL assistant in 2010 "When I got into the profession, 2010, 16,000, no bennies you're the grunt. You're doing video. So you learn, do you love this or not" "My dad left being a D3 college head coach. I mean, he was making like 15 grand doing it. He was it was a part-time gig, but he was the head coach of a division three college, and he left there to come coach me in high school" "We took a team that was, I think, four and five the year before. We went 12-0, won the state championship, and never I mean, I'm talking about maybe once or twice like did we bring it really home" "Demanding, not demeaning. And all my teammates, all my high school teammates were always at my house"
