I haven't taken the time to perfect this, but if I try to be a realistic
rather than humorous I might say something like the following...

(1) Those who want to become coaches go into teaching.

True anecdote:

I'm reminded of a situation I witnessed in a summer program class of mine
that was given to young teachers, had little physics knowledge and were
assigned by principles to take over the physics class in high school.

One student was fresh out of college and was still looking for employment,
during the class we were interrupted by the secretary who had a phone call
for this student from a high school considering employing him. When he got
back to class, naturally we all asked about it. He told us that all the
principal cared about was if he was certified to coach, and didn't even ask
about his science teaching certification.
