College football has certainly changed in recent years with the advent of the NCAA transfer portal and the changes to the NCAA’s name, image, and likeness rules that now allow players to profit while in college. It’s made things harder than ever before for college football head coaches, but Arizona State Sun Devils head coach Kenny Dillingham does not want to hear anybody complaining about it.
During a recent interview, Dillingham had some pretty harsh words for any head coach in college football who thinks that the sport has become too difficult to continue coaching, making it clear that he has no sympathy for them after everything he went through to get to this point.
“I literally spent nine years of my life doing anything to become a coffee boy,” Dillingham said according to Sarah Kezele of AZ Sports. “So, don’t give me the ‘Oh, it’s hard to be a coach right now.’ Yeah, it’s hard. Then quit.”
.@KennyDillingham on @AZSports will not complain about the difficulties of being a CFB coach today:

These comments come after former Boston College Eagles head coach Jeff Hafley decided to leave his position to become the defensive coordinator of the Green Bay Packers after he was reportedly discontent with the way that college football has changed in recent years.
But it sounds like Dillingham isn’t going anywhere.
