WHAT CONSTITUTES A GOOD COACH (from our "Coaching Manual"):
1. He has a thorough knowledge of all fundamental techniques employed and of the structure of team schemes of offense, defense, and the kicking game.
2. He makes a thorough preparation for carrying out his responsibilities at the practice session. He PERSONALLY ASSUMES THE RESPONSIBILITY for preparing any necessary charts and drill situations to accomplish smoothly and efficiently, the teaching expected of him on the practice field.
3. He is constantly probing his own thinking in order to assure that he is covering effectively all phases of the game for those players over whom he has direct teaching responsibility. The use of written records is an essential for carrying this out.
4. He constantly seeks to improve his own teaching methods. Does not employ an inferior teaching device merely because it is "easier" to administer.
5. He comes to the practice field in a frame of mind which indicates he really enjoys the coaching of football. This means an attitude which reflects cheerfulness, and an attitude of patient persistence toward correction of honest play mistakes.
6. He is willing to devote his time tirelessly to all phases of the program - practice, recruiting, counseling, film review, scholastic programs - with the realization that WINNING FOOTBALL results from keeping these areas controlled. He fully realizes that in that territory where a lot of extra time and effort is spent in order to gain a small bit of excellence lies the margin of difference between the champion and the also-ran.
7. He has a strong WINNING ATTITUDE and FULLY understands the difference between the application of that attitude from a coach's standpoint as distinguished from a player's standpoint. In other words, the great competitor as a player in not NECESSARILY a great competitor as a coach. This is an attitude which must be developed separately, and usually is best reflected in the devotion of time and the extent of effort to which a coach is willing to go in order to attain winning results.
8. The really determining factor between the outstanding coach and the average coach is found in his willingness to personally assume responsibility for thinking out an assignment and for creatively attacking problems in all phases of the program. That is the mark of the outstanding coach. The average coach acts only on direct assignment, and functions only for the extent that an assignment is literally spelled out.
9. Above all, a good coach is 100% loyal to the other coaches on the staff whether he be the head coach or an assistant. There WILL be no place on our staff for a disloyal member.
