Neil Cornrich
NC Sports President
55 years old
Bill Belichick, Bob Stoops, Kirk Ferentz, Bo Pelini, Todd Graham and Bret Bielema would make an amazing coaching staff. They also make an impressive client list for Neil Cornrich, arguably the leading agent of football coaches, both professional and collegiate. He has deep connections throughout football and the trust of team decision-makers. Cornrich's also an attorney, which helped him secure a favorable $1.65 million settlement for fired Kansas State head coach Ron Prince. The Cleveland-based agent also represents several NFL general managers and a solid list of NFL players, including Marshal Yanda, Ted Ginn Jr., Riley Reiff and Montee Ball. Some of Cornrich's best work is detectable in less glamorous places, like in negotiating salaries for coordinators. He represents Colts offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton, whose salary exceeds that of some NFL head coaches.
