I was a HC at 23. I wasn't very good (not ready)... but I was a HC then. Still, it was a good experience (I made a lot of mistakes first hand).

I was at 23, I worked for a guy who won a state championship as a head coach at 28 and I think he got his head coaching job at 24.

I have a guy on staff who was a HC at 22 and went to a state championship at 24. And was later fired by your excellent board of education for supposedly knowing nothing about football.  |

that is why we have to go to the U of I clinic this weekend. The board said he has been out for too long. They are "worried" he may have forgotten how to coach.

More on topic, the youngest coaches I've been around have been in the 25 or 26 year range. Have heard of kids right out of college-22/23 yrs old- getting little 1A bad football school jobs.

i was hired as a hc at 22 right out of college. there was a reason they hired me, and it wasn't b/c i was just that good. if a school is hiring that young, there is a reason and it probably isn't going to be a good situation. that being said, i think some people could do a great job, but i couldn't, just wasn't prepared for it.
here in va a 28 or 29 yr old took his team to the Div 4 finals. he spoke at our clinic and has his stuff together.

I was an HC at 19.
Granted I was the JV HC. Did that gig for 7 seasons. Assisted varsity for another year. Became the HC of the varsity baseball team at 26. Moved out of the area and will be a lifer assistant varsity football coach.

I was hired as a head coach right out of college at age 23. Very small school, at a time (mid '80s) when there were not a lot of teaching openings. just happened to be in the right place at the right time with the right degree.

The youngest I know was a guy I went to college with. He won a state championship in Illinois at age 24 or 25. I'm not sure his age, but he was 2 or three years younger than me and it was 5 years after I got out of college.
