WAMCThere’s nothing particularly private about being a big-time college football coach. Beyond your moves on the football field and the recruiting trail and press conferences, pretty much every part of your life is for public consumption and critique.

So if you’re looking to be an anonymous millionaire, it’s probably better to consider a different line of work. -

"This is Halloween! This is Halloween!" Do you recognize that?

It was released by Touchstone Pictures, a division of Disney, so I consider Jack Skellington and Sally one of the best couples ever in a Disney animated movie.

There’s a lot of ways for football coaches to get fired. Maybe the easiest one is to lose a lot of games. You can also lose the support of your players or get into a fight with your school administration or team owners. The one thing that typically doesn’t get you fired is winning. And winning by a lot.

It was called the Passover Plot. In the Middle Ages, a story originated that Jews would routinely catch Christian children, kill them and use their blood to make matzoh - the unleavened bread eaten during the Passover holidays. That meme persisted as an effective prop to antisemitism up through the era of Nazi Germany.
