Gentlemen,

If you were hired as the head coach of a program the week after dead period what would you do?

What are the steps you would take? Coaches, players, O, D, ST, practices, workouts, etc?

3 weeks till school starts and 8 till the first game.

Like Huey said, you've got to have a plan! A lot would depend on the number and quality of assistants you have on board. Also make sure you meet with the players, as well as the parents, to let them know about your vision. Keep it brief but up-tempo. Let them know how excited you are to be their head coach. Try and schedule invidiual meetings with them to help with getting to know them as people as well as to share your expectations for the year. Good Luck!
