Bring everything you have, you never know what they want to see. I throw it all in my briefcase bag when I go in for an interview.
A. Program Manual
B. Extra Resume, You laugh, but I have had a principal lose the one I sent.
C. Playbook
D. Off-season Program
E. Examples of classwork-tests, etc, don't overlook the teaching role.
F. Organizational tools/charts/forms you have made.
G. Sample Practice Plan
H. Professional Portfolio like Letters of recommendation, observations, coaching evaluations, letters from parents, etc.
I. Transcripts
J. Brousures for equipment that you would recommend to be purchased like a CoachCOmm catalog,DSV, Rogers, Etc. I was asked to show them exactly what I wanted for a scouting program and pulling out the Coachcomm Brousure actually impressed the guy because I had an estimated cost, and their recommended extras that go with it.

I was asked to show them exactly what I wanted for a scouting program and pulling out the Coachcomm Brousure actually impressed the guy because I had an estimated cost, and their recommended extras that go with it. all of these are essential to when interviewing for a head coaching position. most of this will have already been sent in but having another set is great. the most important may be extra resumes, transcripts, & certificates.....make sure you have enough resumes for meeting a committee. if you know you are going to be interviewed by a committee, make sure you have handouts for all present. these handouts should be resumes and/or a brief portfolio that sums everything up. don't bring a ton for them to read. 3 to 4 pages should be plenty. remember, you've already sent the whole thing when you applied for the job. for an assistants position, the resume should be enough. i always had several handy because my meetings with the other people in the hiring process (principal, human resources,etc.) may be at an odd time due to time constraints so they wouldn't have to dig through stuff looking for it. the main thing is to show that you are a well-organized and prepared PROFESSIONAL.... |

Coach I was told never take the playbook to the interview with you. Have you had principals ask for the playbook before?
I have my basic philosophy in the program manual. But to give the principal a 100% answer on what my full playbook would be, would be incorrect because I have to hire coordinators and while I will look for one with my philosophy, who ever is the best fit should be the hire.

In all the head coaching interviews I've been in, I have never had a "suit" ask me any questions about X' and O's. They all want to know how you are going to handle kids, parents, coaches, recruiters, boosters, faculty members and situations; especially those that might end up in their lap.
I put together a "program book" that contained the following information and took it to each interview. At the interview, I handed a copy to any/all interviewers.

Principals asking? No, but the A.D.'s will, both interviews I was in I was inteviewed by a committee. I bring everything in case they ask, Like Huey said it is better to be prepared and organized, then without. |

Blueboy I did basically this same stuff also. In the one HC interview that I have had(I have only applied for one also) I gave a binder to all the people on the committee and told them to go through it later to see what type of program their son/daughter would be put through. I also put a copy of an outline of parent guidelines in there and community service project ideas that I thought the athletic department could do during the year. This idea was brought up by more than one person on the committee in my follow up interview a week later.
