Take one look at the number of coaches who just straight up quit coaching this year and you will be looking at a high percentage of people who couldn't handle the emotional toll of what the last couple years have been, as well as the increasing pressures and expectations on coaches over the last 10.
The pressure on coaches has been expanding exponentially, and I'm not even talking about pressure to win. If you think coaches should be immune from the emotional toll that taking care of 45ish student-athletes carries then you don't understand coaching.
RD walked into a hornet's nest and was told that the administration would support him and allow him to impose his standards. They didn't do that, then cut him loose after a year. You bet your ass there will be emotional tolls that the year RD experienced will have on a person - seasoned or not.
Just because coaches don't talk about it, doesn't mean there aren't mental health issues in the coaching realm.
