The debate about college football staff sizes — whether they’re too big, should the NCAA or conferences limit the number of positions — is usually missing one key fact. That is, who are these staff members and exactly what do they all do?<\/p>\n

Major college programs are typically vague about these facts, but Brandon Marcello of Auburn Undercover did a nice job of collecting the information after Auburn’s recent shakeup in its off-fiend football staff.<\/p>\n

See if you\u2019re surprised by some of these positions.<\/p>\n

There are directors of player relations, player personnel and high school relations.<\/p>\n

There is a director of equipment operations, two equipment managers and an assistant equipment manager.<\/p>\n

In all, there are 33 positions listed, which doesn’t include the actual coaches on the field.<\/p>\n

That number is not out of line with the competition and it certainly doesn’t include dozens of other support personnel.<\/p>\n

So the next time you hear a coach talk about the need for additional staff, just remember that at Auburn — which is typical of the competition — there is an administrative support specialist for recruiting who answers to a coordinator of recruiting operations and two administrators of recruiting operations and a director of recruiting operations as well as the recruiting coordinator and head football coach.<\/p>\n

That’s a lot.<\/p>\n
