What would be your top 7 most important priorities that you think would play the most important role to the success of a football program???
These would be mine...what are yours?
1. Top 2 coaches on a 12 month contract
2. Players in everyday weight training
3. Control of Middle School Program
4. Well equipped Weight Room
5. Outstanding Strength & Conditioning coach
6. Very Good Football Budget
7. Team teach in weight room with strength coach 2-3 classes

1. The ability to get coaches in the building and have control of your staff.
2. Control over your budget.
3. A weight training program that is supported by the whole school, not just your program. Coaches in other season who won't fight your kids lifting year round.
4. Parental/Community support. Giving the staff time to get the program in place, and not undermining what you are doing.
Those are the big ones that come to mind right now.

On first glance it appears that 4 of your 7 relate to the same thing - namely that strength and conditioning is a priority for you! Nothing wrong with it, just an observation.
Mine would go like this -
1. Principal fully supports your mission - and stays out of the way!
2. Coaches are in the building - great men (mentors) and great coaches
3. Equipment, facilities, and uniforms reflect a committment to winning
4. Players allowed to be multi sport athletes - coaches support each other
5. School places a high standard on academic achievement
6. Players know the Head Coach is there for them
7. Your district in aligned so success is possible base upon players & coaches efforts
Some of these items are under your control, and some are not... but thats my list.

1. flexible scheme on both sides of the ball
2. professional coaches that are treated like professionals because they earn it
3. coach offseason professional development every year
4. top of the line weight room that gets used by our boys year round
5. quality video editing system
6. leadership with the kids to help foster an attitude of "any thing for the program"
7. adminstrative support (knowing when to be there and when not to)
In no particular order

I think all coaching jobs here are one year deals. They dont open the job and interview every year but they could.

At the private school (at least the one's I've been at) everyone is on a one year contract! That includes the Headmaster as well as the custodian.

not 12 months, but a standard teaching contract with 20 extra days pay.
