I recently was asked to HC a pop warner team and i said yes. Now... I just got a job offer to coach a freshman team at a local highschool. Not sure what position i would have, should i accept. Im thinking I should stay true to my word and coach pop warner since i have already committed even though i would be on payroll with the highschool. What are YOUR thoughts, guys??
I would discuss the situation with the organization you committed to coach for and see if it's possible to find a suitable replacement for you without putting them in a real bind. If so, then you could take the other job with no reservations about having done so. Just my opinion.

I agree with Coach Hartman. As a former Board Member for our organization I would completely understand the desire of one of our coaches to coach at a higher level. I personally wouldn't mind a new challenge but I am very comfortable with these kids.
Its not about how much YOU know about the game, its about how much you share that knowledge with the people around you.
One more thing to think about...a paid position will be looked higher upon in later resumes than a volunteer position...doesn't make much sense, but it seems to be that way.

There is nothing that will show a man's true character like the 2 yard line.
Coach, if you were recently asked, then they still probably have canidates that they can contact should you decide to move up to the freshman level.
What do you want to do with coaching long term. Do you want to be a high school varisty or college coach, or are you comfortable running the show where you are? If you have aspirations of moving up to the high school level someday, then I woudl definitely take the freshman position. It is high school experience that will help you later when you try to get a high school assistant job.
If you just love coaching and dont care where you do it, then you have a decision to make. Being the head guy affords you the ability to basically do things exactly how you want them done, to your comfort level.

Thanks guys! The pop warner program is in need of more help than wins and losses. We are trying to change the face of the program. The new president is going into his 2nd year of running things. Lets just say that our program is a home in need of serious repair. I played in the program as a youth. We need to make changes at the top! For example... A dresscode for the coaches for starters. Its an inner city program. If a size large fits you, then dont order a XXXL coaches jersey!!!! Leave the boots, and Du-rag at home! Get yourself a pair of khakis... And tuck in your damn shirt if you are gonna coach football.
If you want respect, you should get it the second you step off the bus. Long story bareable... If you wouldnt wear it to a job interview then dont wear it on the sidelines. Its a new president but basically the same coaches. Am i being too dramatic???

Actually I was asked to coach the pop warner team not even a month after last footabll season ended. Just thought id clear that up. I shouldnt have said recently. Oh well. Its not important. I will be declining the offer to coach the freshmen team. But thanks for your replies.
