College student seeking advice...

Deac's post really hits it. What school do you go to? I know a lot of smaller schools have student coaches. You may not have loads of responsibility but you will learn a lot and it will help you get a job when you get out of school. If you are at bigger football school often times they will have work study jobs for video. If you are going to learn how to use editing systems and terminology I think think would be an excellent resume builder. If you can bring video experience with you that is huge because a lot of high school coaches have trouble with video or need someone on the staff that is good with video breakdown. If you look at guys like Mangini, they got started because they were hardworking film guys. That's how they got their foot in the door.

Whatever you do, just be enthusiastic. The more I'm around coaching (I'm just an assistant) the more I see the importance of enthusiasm and dedication over knowledge. Don't get me wrong, knowledge is important. But if I am a good HC or coordinator I believe I can teach my philosophy/schemes and techniques to a young assistant. What I can't teach him is to want to be there, put in the hours, be a positive presence in the program, and to love coaching. Those are the things you need him to have.

YO DEAC,

You are so right! I love the Univ. Of South Carolina Game cocks! Love to watch the CLEMSON TIGERS beat their butts, that is. I know YOU know that, but this is for the guys who don't! (My son played for Clemson) hehehehe BEING SERIOUS, SPURRIER IS QUIETLY BUILDING A POWER HOUSE DOWN THERE IN COLUMBIA AND I EXPECT THEM TO BE TOUGH THIS YEAR! Clemson has two really good RBs, this Davis Kid and this Spiller kid. They call them THUNDER AND LIGHTENING AND THEY CAN TOTE THE ROCK!!! Should be a great game this year!
