Over the years I have seen many guys who were too eager to be a head coach that they took bad jobs and wound up frustrated and disillusioned. Some were perhaps too young and inexperienced, some maybe had unfounded confidence in their abilities and believed they could win anywhere regardless of circumstances. That's the point Brophy brought up and I don't disagree with it. I'm thankful every day for some of the jobs that I didn't get. There is an upside to jobs such as these- 1) you get that head coaching experience many schools consider a must have to be granted an interview. 2) If its a school where winning is considered difficult to impossible there is little preasure from the outside and things go poorly thats what everyone would expect but 3) if you do have a bit of success at a difficult place you have raised your stock in the eyes of a great many and perhaps jobs that previously you would not have been considered for you now may get that ever important interview and that can help you nail down your "dream job".

Let's keep it theoretical. Fair enough. Unfortunately, I sat there and watched it happen, LOL. We're all human. We all make mistakes. Bad coaches don't necessarily = bad human beings.

Nice post Lochness. I agree with your points 100%. I believe a good coaching staff can go anywhere in the high school ranks and have consistent success. No way.

2 simple rules... 1. Don't take a bad job. 2. If you take a bad job, you don't get to make any excuses about it. This is the truth...
