Where Do I Get One of These Jobs?

After two straight losing seasons, Ron Zook finished .500 in 2010 (plus a bowl win). For that, he got himself a $250,000 raise for next year.

After three straight non-playoff seasons, Lovie Smith won a division title and then beat the worst playoff team ever. For that, he received a two-year contract extension (through the 2013 season).

So apparently your best bet for job security in this troubled economy is to become the football coach of a team I root for.
