  11. Success = Continuity The hallmark of any dynasty is continuity.

  12. Continuity New York Yankees 1920s-1960s Boston Celtics 1950s-1980s Green Bay Packers 1960s Pittsburgh Steelers 1970s San Francisco 49ers 1980s

  13. Continuity No surprises. Attention to detail. Travel directions, charting plays, coaching staff.

  14. Continuity Average length of stay of a youth football coach is 3 years.

  15. Continuity Same staff from 2001-2004 and 2005-2007 Head Coach My 12th year Defensive Coordinator 7th year with me Special Teams Coordinator 4th year with me Both of these coaches had kids who originally played for us, and the coaches stayed when their child moved up.

  16. How do you get your coaches? 1. Some come to your team with their child. 2. Some don’t have a child but want to coach. 3. Some are recruited.

  17. If they leave, where do they go? 1. Some move up with their child. 2. Some go back in the pool. 3. Some quit.

  18. Dealing with New Coaches: Problems? Are you taking the proper precautions?

  19. Hiring A New Coach: Identifying and keeping the good coach: (Not groundbreaking or innovative) Ideas of common sense

  20. Hiring A New Coach: Without taking precaution, you are courting disaster. If he turns out to be a jerk, you could be held liable.

  21. Hiring A New Coach: Thorough Interview I want to know everything about him. I want him to know everything about me. Do you have a “coaching contract?” Can he abide by your rules?

  22. Hiring A New Coach: NFL and NCAA interview can take an entire weekend.

  23. Hiring A New Coach: Have Him Work Your Football Camps Pair him with one of your coaches.

  24. Hiring A New Coach: Have Him Work Your Conditioning Camp Let him run drills.

  25. Hiring A New Coach: Communicate During the Off-Season “CC” him on every e-mail.

  26. Hiring A New Coach: Familiarize Him With Your Scheme Give him a copy of last year’s highlight DVD or game videos.

  27. Dealing With the New Coach: Problems? Did you interview them thoroughly? Do not be liable for their mistakes. “What we don’t correct, we encourage.”

  28. Dealing With the New Coach: Problems? Did you meet with them throughout the pre-season? Are they attending the meetings?

  29. Dealing With the New Coach: What if a prospective coach shows up one week before the season and there’s no time to prepare him?

  30. Dealing With the New Coach: Give him responsibility. Do NOT give him the “junk jobs,” i.e. bottle washer, play counter, snacks. Let your coaches coach.

  31. Dealing With the New Coach: Give him responsibility. Don’t drop him in the deep end, and do NOT give him carte blanche.

  43. Player-Agents: Dealing with Parents Greatest Advocate Or Your Worst Nightmare? YOUR CHOICE

  44. Dealing with Parents Parent’s Meetings How many did you have BEFORE the season? More investment reaps more benefits.

  45. Dealing with Parents MAKE NO MISTAKE: WE ARE ALL ABOUT WINNING!

  46. Dealing with Parents Our demands are to: Win in the classroom Win at home Win on the football field

  47. Dealing with Parents “I don’t determine your son’s playing time. Your son determines his playing time.”

  48. Dealing with Parents “At this age group, there is no decision that I make regarding his position or his playing time that will affect his ability to get a D1 scholarship.”

  49. Dealing with Parents Be willing to explain (not defend) your actions and decisions. NFL & NCAA coaches have to explain themselves in the post-game press conference, the mid-week press conference and on the coaches show.
