Coach to player ratio

Coach,

An ideal staff features one HC, two coordinators, A line coach, A QB Coach, a receivers coach, and a RB coach (each with an assistant as well) on the offensive side of the ball. A good TE coach is an added plus! A DL coach, a DE coach, A LB coach, and a secondary coach (all with at least one assistant) on the defensive side of the ball. A special Teams coach who really knows his stuff is a must in my book!

Now lets face it: On the HS level you are lucky to have 8-9 at a big school with half of those being volunteers. So, I always had my eyes peeled for guys who knew their business (retired coaches are a great scorce) who would be willing to volunteer their services and time to help the kids. You will be surprised with the guys you can come up with! I always had scouts for the following weeks opponent and paid their gas and a meal out of my pocket to insure they were being appreciated! It always seemed to pay big dividends for us. If you can train your JV coaches correctly, bring them on board on game nights as well. They can do everything from be upstairs in the booth with the OC and DC, chart plays, attend to sideline needs of the players, etc. IT IS ALL ABOUT HOW WELL YOU ARE ORGANIZED AS A HC. Just my opinion as always.
