There is nothing wrong with a head college coach hustling for employment when he is out of work or in cases .where he is improving himself. He has to look out, for himself and his family. But, to purists at least, there is something wrong in the approach of a head coach leaving a prestige post like Ara Parseghian held at Northwestern, which was entirely satisfied with his work, only because winning, winning, winning is paramount in his mind. This practice would be shameful and shameless were it not for the fact that the football departments of most colleges playing the game with no holds barred long, ago became little more than merchandise marts : for muscles. l).
