Which position to coach?

Coach,

I've been coaching for twelve years and I just got my first Varsity Head Coaching job. I started out coaching widereceivers and defensive backs, then a couple years later I went to QB's and felt it was a promotion in some ways and still coached DB's, then a couple years after that, I became the Off. Coord. and I feel that I learned a lot about the Offense and defenses coaching QB's. I also learned a ton about defense when I became the OC because you needed to know how to defeat certain schemes, coverages, stunts, etc. I think it is what you feel comfortable with and go from there. I know now that I could coach any position on the field in my system and feel comfortable with it.

If the Head Coach would like you to coach a certain position and feels it would be best for the team/staff, then learn that position and try to perfect everything in your offense/defense at that position and learn the others as you go. Good luck and Keep working hard.
