Brad Childress keeps getting new jobs just so he can quit them

Brad Childress does have a nice resume. I’ll give him that.

His incredible amount of meaningful experience as a football coach at the highest levels is always going to earn Childress a long look—perhaps even an interview or two—from a prospective employer. However at this point, Childress has also set up an impressive string of leaving those same jobs, and now it’s reached a ridiculous zenith—one in which the employer is silly for even hiring him in the first place.

On January 8, 2018, Childress announced his retirement from the game. As a 61-year-old coach, Childress sounded like a man weary from decades standing on the sidelines.
