I was wondering for those guys that do not teach and coach, what do you do for employment that allows you to coach football? I'm assuming here that most HS practices start after school hours (3PM here) and run for 2-3 hrs afterwards. I'm one of these guys, but am potentially being forced out of my profession and looking for another one that will still allow me to coach.

I'm luckily enough able to work from Home and basically set my own schedule. One of our assistants is an overnight security guard. He basically starts his day with practice then goes to work afterwards.

Regardless of whether this is true or not why in the name of holy fk would you ever put something like this on here?? Not only do you potentially put yourself at risk, you put your mentor at risk, too. |

Just to provide a complete picture, I think this is a terrible thought process. Using a minor life activity (coaching school boy football for stipend pay) as a driver for a major life decision (job paying living expenses) is simply a terrible idea. Your future self will deeply regret your current plan of attack |

I like my job...I love coaching. I was always told to do what you love, so, I'm trying to stay with that if I can. |

I like my job...I love coaching. I was always told to do what you love, so, I'm trying to stay with that if I can. That is not exactly what that quote is trying to convey. You can mentor youth many ways. Become a youth minister if you are religiously inclined. Join a big brother/big sisters program. You can even coach youth football, which generally have more flexible schedules than HS football programs. You say you are being potentially "forced out of your profession". How exactly? Do you mean your current employment situation is going to change? That is a drastically different thing. Ultimately, it is your life. But I am pretty sure if you asked guys in their late 40s or Early 50s who spent their 20s and 30s putting careers and personal financial situation on the backburner to work around HS football schedules, they may say they have a regret or two. |

Just passed the bar and starting my first full-time lawyer job tomorrow ... I will let you all know how it goes lol
Luckily I coach for a guy who is in the business world and will allow me to come and go as I please. Sadly though this may (obviously) effect my role if I can't be there as much as I was when I was in school/working part time. If I am unhappy with being a part time guy I will prob pick up a youth program instead where I can "make my own hours"
In my area its mostly non teacher coaches, here is some jobs I have seen make it work:
- Owning your own business. could be blue or white collar
- Police Officer
- Firefighter
- Real Estate Agent
- remote work gigs
- security
- restaurant industry
- bus driver
- guys who have jobs that are empathetic towards football and allow them to be out early/adjust hours

Your future self will deeply regret your current plan of attack I disagree. Men need purpose and coaching gives many men that. If you are coach who pursues excellence through coaching, I think the value added is worth it. Forget the money aspect. Some people find contentment in art or music. Some do in coaching. Coaching is powerful for some. In a perfect world you could find purpose in your work but that’s not always the case. |

I maintain that choosing a PROFESSION (that was the word the OP used) so that a schedule can work around HS football schedules is a terrible idea. Coaching may be powerful but keep in mind that someone can coach youth and have a much more flexible schedule. |

I think you need to have a head coach that understands things come up at work.
I work for Child Protective Services. I have a great team around me at my job and have had to fully miss no more than a handful of practice in The last decade.
Sometimes i'm running late, but The head coach understands and is flexible with The practice schedule. Moving stuff around until I Get there. Additionally, I always have a younger coach following me around who can ein through individuals if it is really needed.
It can be done, and I wouldnt work a job that doesn't allow me to coach football. I feel like it is my purpose and vocation in life. So if you are looking for new employment, I would be open and honest with them about how you want to continue this passion of yours and be a part of their company. Most people respect someone who has a drive outside of their day to day job.
