04.12.2025 18:44 β π 1026 π 205 π¬ 680 π 484Keith Richman, an Entrepreneur, posts this on LinkedIn: The only bubble bigger than AI? College football coach salaries. Schools are throwing $10M+ at coaches like they're the only people who can read a playbook. Meanwhile, AI can now watch every snap your opponent has ever run and tell you not just what play they're calling, but why they're calling it. Schools are better off investing their money in AI research that wonβt leave them two weeks before the College Football Playoffs. Feed 5 seasons of game film to a model 5 seasons and it'll map out tendencies, predict adjustments, and identify weaknesses. We're heading toward the ultimate Moneyball scenario. Except instead of finding undervalued baseball players, we're about to see a school with a $500K coach and a great AI system upset a program paying $12M for "elite leadership." The real question: How long until we see a "Sideline AI Coach" position? Someone with a headset, laptop, and direct line to the AI model telling them "they're running play-action here, I'm 87% confident." Sure, coaching is still about motivation, culture, and recruiting. But in the future, what will the ROI be of paying someone eight figures primarily for Xs and Os?
Whenever you're annoyed with Bluesky, click over to LinkedIn remember things can be much, much dumber.
