NFL is becoming more in demand for college coaches because of the demands in recruiting.It sounds like he is reaching burnout.
"I've got recruits that will text and call and do everything in the middle of the night. And I'm thinking, I'm with my family. But you've got to dedicate time to that or you can't do it," Smart said. "I get a direct message on Twitter: 'Coach, I'm coming to Tuscaloosa in a week.' And I'm thinking, well I'm not going to be there. I'm on vacation. You've got to find somebody to cover up and go spend time with him. Because if you don't, somebody will.
"That's the part where I say college coaches are always looking to go, because if you're not a niche recruiter, or as you get older and less active as a recruiter, you become less valuable. ... It's constant and you always feel like it's fourth-and-1."
