Assignments of Assistant coaches
If you have an assignment that requires you to supervise the locker room, and weight room areas please make sure our athletes keep it clean and they are picking up after themselves. Don't keep score; coaches must take pride in their assigned responsibilities. Don't run off right after practice, pitch in there's always something to do, check in with the coordinators or head coach before leaving. Don't leave the locker rooms unsupervised when our athletes are still inside. Coaches will be asked to make thorough preparation for carrying out their responsibilities at each and every practice session, off-season and in-season events. Coaches will be asked to personally assume the responsibility for preparing any necessary charts and drill situations to accomplish smoothly and efficiently the teaching expected of him on and off the field.
Dealing with players
Don't expect anything less than perfection in every aspect of the football program. Do everything you can do to develop a winning attitude. Be professional in attitude, responses, work and personal appearance. Be sincerely interested in the success of our players and other members of the coaching staff. Never give up on a player. He can always change and likely will if given the chance by you. Do not choose favorites. Work with every player on the squad. Have something to say after each effort. Remember, this is coaching and "don't coach out of frustration." Don't just tell an athlete what he is doing wrong, show him how to correct it; this builds credibility. Stay alert for players with injuries or heat problems. Refer to trainer. Never deny an athlete requesting water if they need it.
Practices and meetings
Coaches will be expected to be on time for all staff meetings and practices, unless you have notified the head coach of a problem. Follow the fifteen-minute rule, if we expect our athletes to follow this rule then we as coaches need to follow it also. Be on the same page with each other (offense, defense) when taking the practice or game field. Have a plan for everything, be organized. When taking the field, know where you belong, be waiting for your players, don't have players waiting on you. Do not experiment with drills during practice, have your work thought out, and make sure it fits the scheme. Our practices must be organized; talk in meetings not on the field, repetition is the most important key, repetition instills learning. Don't hold clinics on the field. Pay strict attention to the scheduled time segments. Wear a watch to practice, take a whistle to the practice field and don't forget your practice schedule.
Personal and professional growth
To study and work hard to make you a great coach. Educational growth is a must for any coach in order to maintain, sustain and develop new innovative ways of coaching, new teaching techniques, and better ways to improve teaching. Be positive and never doubt that we will be successful. Be creative and have the ability to think on your own and apply gained knowledge of the game. Please don't wait to be told what to do. Take pride in your work. To be the very best classroom teacher, and on the field coach that you can be. Remember the law of primacy. As a position coach, expect to be talked to if something avoidable goes wrong.
Coaches and the program
It is the athlete's responsibility to please the coach and not the coach's place to please the players. Our job as coaches is to run a top-flight program that will eventually lead to continued success. As coaches we have an obligation to run a disciplined program that will be successful in the long run. To do anything else is unfair to the coaches and athletes who want to win. Don't worry about what your fellow coaches are doing. Just do your job and do it well. When hanging out around the football office and our kids are in the locker room and you find yourself with nothing to do please go and visit with your players. Gain the respect from your players, don't demand respect, you must earn it.
