The fear of moving up
So I'm not sure I'm looking for advice here. And I'm not sure I'm looking for guidance. But maybe some stories where you've felt the same? I don't know...
My story; I've been coaching HS football for give years. My ultimate goal is to be a very successful HC one day, and I've gone into every job looking at it as an accelerated classroom. I'm a good, not yet great coach. I've worked for some godawful HCs, and this past year have worked for the greatest HC I've ever met (and one of the most successful in MO history). Anyhow, another coach starting his first year as a HC at a very small school called up my present HC, and asked for recommendations to help with his staff. My name was given, and he wants me to coach for him. I've met with him several times, and he told me Friday that he wants me as his DC. I interview on the teaching end on Monday. I've coordinated at the freshman level for several years, and have coached every defensive position except CBs. I think it's time for me to take the next step, but now that it's nut-cutting time, I'm a bit terrified. It's definitely gonna be trial by fire, and I'm gonna have to learn a ton really quick. I guess I just wonder what your stories are that are similar. |

You should be fine as long as you aren't telling anyone to rip their sleeves off and tuck their shirts in.

George Jefferson moved all the way to the top and had white goofy friends.
I think you can move on up. Have courage and then you can teach courage to the kids you coach.

No
But I've met him several times. Really good guy. Obviously a good coach, although he's also able to get some of the best players in the city. |
