I know these have been on here alot, but I'm gonna try my luck as well....
Currently, I am a DC in Texas (3A-D2) at a school that has its ups and downs, but we went 7-3 last year (lost first round of the playoffs) and should be pretty good next year (returning alot). I want to be an Athletic Director/Head Football Coach, but feel even if we were to win state (not really expecting to) at this small school 3A, that I would only be considered for middle-tier AD/HFC jobs in 3A or 2A, if at all. I don't want to be a big school Head coach, but wonder if it would be better for my career aspirations to go and be a big school assistant, possibly work my way up to a coordinator there and take my chances.
If you're from Texas, you probably know most 3A or 2A head coaches are ex big school coordinators (I know there are exceptions), but what is in my best interest. I'm 30 and my kids are still young. I do like my current situation but not so much that I couldn't leave.

I'd stay and coach your ass off where you're at, and who knows, maybe your HFC will leave or you can really impress another 3A program (so your goal is to be a 2-3A head coach, correct?).
Sounds like you've got a good situation, I wouldn't rush to leave. If the opportunity is good, do it, but also sounds like you can afford to be picky.

I'd stay for a while and soak up as much as I possibly could and continue to assess the situation as time goes on. ttp22 is right, you're in a good spot, don't be in a rush to leave.

How hard is it to get into Texas High School Coaching from outside of Texas? What would it take for an out of state coach to get considered for a head job in Texas? What needs to be on a resume for a 6A, 5A, 4A, 3A, 2A?

What needs to be on a resume for a 6A, 5A, 4A, 3A, 2A? I know this won't be the case everywhere, but when my brother moved to Texas, from New Mexico, he had been a coordinator on both sides of the ball for about 8 years, and had been coaching for 14 years total. The only school he could get on it, he had to start at the freshman level and work his way back up. Obviously, if he had been a head coach somewhere, it might be different, but just throwing in my 2 cents.
