How hard would it be for an out of state coach to come in and get an assistant varsity job assuming he has the right teaching credentials and with a good coaching history as an assistant at the top level in California? I've heard it's pretty tough to break in to the "good ole boy" system out there if you are from out of state.

Good Luck, it took this former Yankee (got down here as quick as I could) awhile to line up the right contacts..but since then not a problem...once people respect your work ethic they don't give a darn where you are from....well, for the most part.

Unless you have a network going down here, you will probably have to start completely over like a first year coach. You may get in at the JV/freshman level, but it is like any other state...the more people you know or get to know, the faster the move up.
I had three interviews and 3 job offers...two were at 5A metroplex middle schools with 1,200 plus kids. The other was at 4A Marshall as a receiver coach, but due to the timing, I had to deline after the offer was made on the way home home over the phone. The jobs are there...it just depends on where you want to live, and what type of program you want to join. Also had an offer from Coach Dodge at S.L.C. for a middle school position after I had already accepted the offer with another district..if I'd only have known...

If the Head Coach you interview with feels that you are knowledgeable enough, he will check out your references. Then it's up to you to sell yourself in an interview. There is nothing magical about getting a job in Texas. Just a committment and a willingness to work long hours.
