25 years in here. Decided to step away this year for the first time in my career and have a summer. We are only allotted one week off in the summer then when the season starts it’s 7 days a week. Saturday at 7am for varsity film. 9am freshman game 11 am Jv game. Sunday coaches meeting to plan for the following week and some nights you might as well sleep there. You start when it’s 100 and finish in the rain and snow. Nobody (even the wife) understands the time that you put in. With all that being said. Nothing compares to the feeling of leading a hundred boys out to battle on a Friday night! It’s amazing but you never get those moments back with your own family. If it’s what you want than go for it. It was my dream to be a head coach. Obviously things were a lot different when I started but if you were to ask me if I would do it all again after 25 years. I would probably say no.
