I think Canada might be different but I've worked with a 23-year-old HC and I was his DC at 22. We weren't even teachers, I was a student and the HC was an educational assistant at the school.

Getting technical, I was hired as an assistant one month before graduating HS, I was 17. Started calling Frosh games at 19, JV at 21, Varsity assistant since the age of 18. I will be 27 by the start of next season which will be my tenth season and second school. Retirement has to be somewhere around the corner, although, my HC's dad coached one school for 41 years so perhaps retirement is not an option.

Got the my first job as HC at a small high school at 26. Before that I was an assistant at the biggest high school in the state and we did very well and the guy I worked for really helped me get the job.

Varsity DC at 25...now 26. All but one of us on the varsity staff is in their 20's. We kid him all the time that if it wasn't for him pulling our average age up, we might be one the youngest staffs in the state.

Wow alot of young guys here. I was a Varsity Position Coach at 19, I felt really young then, I cant imagine being the head guy at that age.

Began coaching at a D-III college at age 24.
Earned my 1st High School HC Position last summer at age 28. The OC from my college is the AD at the HS I am at.
A teammate of mine from college was hired as the OC for the New England Patriots at age 29.
Major Applewhite (QB from Texas) was the OC for Rice at age 26/27.
Some of the previous postings are pretty accurate. Knowing the right people helps. You have to be qualified though, in my opinion.

Ya know I was thinking about Lane Kiffin and him being the head guy in the NFL at 31. I think there are 4 or 5 guys that are older than him on the team. 31 is VERY young to be a head coach. I think Kiffin is a good coach and will do well in the league. I can't imagine being the Head Coach of an NFL team in like 6 or 7 years. Do the Raiders play the Bucs next year? I wonder if a son has gone up against a father when one coach was an Offensive guy and the other was a DC. I always thought his dad would be a good HC, I wonder if he would go be his son's DC when his contract is up.

Although you asked about HS coaches, I thought I could throw this out there. I was a middle school OC at 19. Hope to finish my college work in a year and maybe move to the HS level then.

H.S. head coach at 25 (school with poor tradition--I was probably the only one who applied!). I am still at the same school (29 now).
