first head coaching job

Coach - I have begun the interview process already and have retained two staffers from last year. They are character guys who have been dedicated to the off season weight program while the coaching transition was happening. Explained my philosophy and said we will be a team of coaches that works and plans together, but ultimately I have the final say. Don't foresee any problems with them. I will be looking to fill more positions asap. There was a staffer who did apply for the job, but will not be retained. I feel it to be a conflict of interest and I see more personal than professional in regards to the overall dynamic of the situation. Man my head is spinning. Met the kids this week, quality kids first impression, just not a whole lot of them. Must generate entusiasm in the school, feeder program and community. Countdown begins til September.
