Interview Questions for Ast. Coaches

I am not a HC. I was in a similar situation as yourself earlier this year. There is a lot of good information on this topic in the archives. I got some good advice from some of the good folks on this board when I emailed them my questions. I was told that my football knowledge was the last thing the HC would want to know at the interview for an assitance coaching position, and don't go in trying to impress them with football knowledge.

With this in mind, I contacted the best coach in my area and asked to meet with him, and it was the #1 school I wanted to coach at. At the interview he wanted to know if I realized how much time was involved, and if I was willing to put the time in. Then he took me up to his office, gave me a pen, and asked me to basically show him what I knew on the whiteboard. Go figure. At the end of the interview I was invited on staff. I think you should be prepared for just about anything. Hope this helps.

Loyalty and the ability to want to work and chase the same dream is what i want in an assistant coach. I can help along with my other coaches to teach the X's and O's but loytalty and the desire to go to the next level is the kind of coaches I would want to hire on my staff. Coach Campbell
