Episode 181 - How You Know It’s Time To Be a Head Coach

When’s the right time to start applying for jobs? That’s easy. 

You can always apply for the job. The interview experience in invaluable. 

But when are you ready to take a head coaching job? 

“It depends.”

That’s the answer we’ve heard for years. In this episode of The Football Coaching Podcast, I’m going to nail down the real right  time to be a new Head Coach.

Just a warning. I don’t want to be a head coach right now. I have never been a head coach. A lot of this is a little tongue-in-cheek.

But it’s what I’ve observed. What I believe. What would have to be true for me, if I were to pursue head coaching jobs. 

My sources are a few head coaches I’ve worked for, and hundreds of head coaches I’ve worked with. It’s a hard job. 

So… thinking about it? Or just want to reminisce about the time before you sold your soul to be a head football coach? (that’s tongue-in-cheek too!)
