Does this give you good footing for that first HC job? I guess like with anything else it just depends. If you are named the assistant HC and you really have no authoritative responsibility, then it doesn't help. But, if you are taking on some of the roles of an actual HC, then I guess it would help. I figure if nothing else, it will prepare you to take on some of the roles of the head coach.
I'm just babbling here, but you get the gist of my inquiry.

To me it doesn't mean much as far as actual responsibilities go. After all, I have never seen an actual job description for an assistant head coach. What it does mean to me is that someone like what you were doing enough to either a) give you the title to keep you around b) give you the title to set you apart from the other assistants.

Titles are overrated. Either you are a good coach who can teach fundamentals and be a good role model, or you aren't. A title won't change who you are.

I agree with calande... some hiring boards are looking for titles. They may not know two things regarding the game of football, but if you have a title attached to your name, then you mean something. Also, some coaches get so admired with having a title that they loose focus as to what they are really there for...coaching the kids up. I know of a HC one time that gave one of his assistants a title... coach in charge of the P.A.T. Protection. (I am not knocking the importance of P.A.T. Protection) but this coach wanted a title so bad that the HC gave him this title. Something to think about.

I think my point might have gotten lost along the way. I was really just exploring the situation where sometimes you cannot get that first HC job without having HC or Coordinator experience.
So lets say you listed this.
Served as Assistant Head Coach.
Duties included
Team Discipline Control
In charge of all fund raising
Liaison to the press
Academic Quality Control
Liaison to college coaches for recruiting purposes
Organized practice
Performed all Offensive Coordinator duties
Would something like this been seen as valuable experience in terms of hiring a HC?
