Coaches, I am looking for others input on what your 3 year or 5 year plan is when taking over a program. Would be happy to share what I have. Looking to learn from others through experience or just what you plan to use when becoming a head coach. Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face......

Coaches, I am looking for others input on what your 3 year or 5 year plan is when taking over a program. Would be happy to share what I have. Looking to learn from others through experience or just what you plan to use when becoming a head coach. I'm curious, what are your 3 and 5-year plans? Would this be a good blueprint for taking over a 0-win team? Year 1: Implement your expectations/culture/scheme; win 1 game with last year HC's leftovers Year 2: Solidify the above; win 4 games Year 3: Program is established; win 6 games and finish top-2 in the district for the first time in 17 years. This has been my first three years as HC. I think this fits the narrative of what a lot of coaches would call success, but I'll be honest, I haven't felt that way at all. As somebody else posted, I expect to go undefeated every year. I know this isn't attainable, but I am never satisfied and I like it that way. Each season, in my mind, we should've been more successful, and let's not kid ourselves, the biggest reason for our increase in wins each year was an increase in talent. Period. Had I come in with the above 3-year plan with no talent I would've been sorely disappointed even though a lot of it would've been out of my hands. I don't believe in 3-year, 5-year, 10-year plans (maybe someone will change my mind). Instead of a plan, I coach by these three credos: 1. "Every player deserves a chance to win, and you as a coach have an obligatory responsibility to give it to them." - Bill Parcells 2. "If you can't do the little things right, you will never do the big things right." - Adm. William McRaven 3. "If you're not getting better, you're getting worse." - Not sure who

Your last quote was by Joe Paterno.
You need to have a vision for your program. That's your plan.

Well, here we go....got the keys to the Head Coaching kingdom this Friday. I have decided to go with the....... 1 week plan. I really forced myself to hit the pause button. I know it is going to be a very long off season. The visions I have for the future cannot be accomplished unless I build a strong foundation. And that starts with the little things. Like keys to the football lock up and hudl account info and a ton of other small stuff. But in reality first and foremost this 1st week is going to be about building RELATIONSHIPS. I think I have scrapped the 3 to 5 year plan. I will communicate my vision and focus on the week to week. Yep...going with the 1 week plan. Hopefully when I come up to the surface to breath I will look back at something to be proud of. #Grind and have bought my bottle of syrup for the end. (lol...couldn't help it)
