Guys here is my possible situation, remain OC at a 5A school which will just be ok next year or move down to a 4A school and take the Assistant Head Coach Title for a team that has a good chance to win it all. I may not have as much control over the offense as I do at my current job. The chance to win one is a nice change though.
There will also be a major pay difference but I just want the coaching side of it.
What would you do?

The grass isn't always greener on the other side. Titles mean nothing in the long run. Will you be growing as a coach taking as Assistant HC position or just be a glorified "do boy"

Is the 4A a perennial power? What exactly will your duties be as AHC? All of those questions would have a bearing on your decision. |

I think I would rather be OC for what it is worth. As an OC you have more control over the offense. You yourself said you wouldnt have that at the bigger school. Second, alot of time (especially in HS) the AHC is nothing but a yes man. I would want to avoid that, and continue to work on my schemes as an OC and grow as a coach.

Hey it sad but true it does look better on resume. If you plan on being a head coach I think it would help you on your resume to be a AHC. But I don't know maybe you have some years as a head coach. I was in the same your shoes, i was a dc but I coach it all, and the hc didn't want me to leave so he change my title to AHC but i was still the dc. Maybe see if your current head coach would do the same for you. Good luck

Some teams allow you to do both. But if your quest is to become a Head Coach and you need to learn more about that than a playbook. then do the AHC

Depends on your long range goals. You might very well learn more about the administrative side being the AHC. If you want to be a HC then that should factor in. I'd make sure that was what i was getting into w/ the AHC position.
But as someone already said, state championships mean a lot, regardless of classification or title you held on the staff.

It's been my experience that AHC is a figure head position. Just a title given to placate egos. The title will make little difference in getting a head job. However, a state title (or coaching at a perennial power) will go a long way.
