Alright, I'm the head coach (first year) of a 7-8 Unlimited weight team here in Bama. We will probably end up having anywhere between 17-22 kids when its all said and done. My question is, I only have 2 assistants that can be around all the time (all prac and games). I have a couple that can be around sporadically, due to work. So, is 3 coaches really sufficent ? Or am I doomed? Things have been going fairly smooth so far......just wanted to know what everyone thought. BTW , I have really become addicted to this site.......and I respect you guys opinions....

Coach we have 3 coaches there all the time and 1 that is there most of the time. Our HC many times is off dealing with league crap or parents so it is most of the time there is 3 of us. when we go individual Defense: one coach with D-line, 1 with LBS, 1 with Secondary... On O 1 or 2 with O-line, 1 with recievers, 1 with backs, some times skill guys are combined in one...IF that is the case, I call prettyboys with coach and football players(o-line) with me...

I would think that 3 is plenty (the breakdown for group sessions outlined by casec11 is right on). The bigger danger is having too many. Getting any group of people to agree on one philosophy and scheme is difficult no matter what the subject matter. Only add assistants if you are 100% certain that they know & understand their roles and that they completely buy into your system. Otherwise, having a bunch of assistants that undermine you (often quite accidentally) will do far more harm than good.
