Charlie Weiss spoke on the difference years ago. He said the time committment is similar but the time is allotted differently. He said in the NFL its football all day every day and he could grind away on it and shut out the world. As a college coach you might want to review film at 9pm on a Tuesday night as part of your routine, but you have a player with girlfriend issues to help him work thru and you have a fundraising function that night with wealthy boosters. So you have more to balance than in the NFL.
