A recent
blog posting by Helen Wheelock got me thinking about coaching job searches and who administrators hire. Seems like most of the talk always centers around the DI coaches, especially the “up-and-comers”. I do not profess to know exactly what makes a good coach in all situations. Good coaches in a bad situation can lead to struggles and failures, whereas unproven coaches (i.e. assistants) in good situations can lead to success and excitement. I decided to put together a list of some of the best coaches I know. These coaches are not necessarily up-and-comers. They are just individuals that know what they are doing and have proven they can get the job done. Isn’t that what is important for an A.D. anyway? Coaching X’s and O’s are pretty much a common language across the divisions.
