What should i do to become a college football coach?
i would like to be a college coach and work with the o-line. i have played football but i don't think that playing in college will be an option and would like to start out as a graduate assistant.I am about to start college an would like to know what i should do to help achieve this dream.|||Probably get in as an equipment manager, or assistant to one of the coaches (not an assistant coach). Or maybe you could get in as an assistant at one of the local high-schools where you go to college, anything to start building your resume at this point.|||You obviously can't be a graduate assistant seeing as you haven't graduated college yet. You could try to be a student assistant at the college you attend, but that usually envolves jockstrap cleaning and ***** work rather than learning a ton about coaching. Most high schools require you to be 21 years old or work in their school system to get an official coaching position. The best way to coach is to play. You need to attempt to walk on a team and tell the coach you don't mind being a practice dummy because your ultimate goal is to coach one day. Most schools don't hire people they don't know making college football today a fraternity. Look at some of the most prominent coaches today such as Urban Meyer of the University of Florida (walk on at University of Cincinnati). Mack Brown of the University of Texas (walk on at Florida State University) and Nick Saban of the University of Alabama (Quarterback at Kent State). Coaches and AD's don't trust their entire program to people they don't know... you need to let people know you by playing and after your 4 years of being practice team, you can have your shot at being a graduate student/assistant at that school or another with your coaches help.|||Well you need some type of experience, you should go to your high school and try coaching the O-Line over there and basically get your name out there... You need experience before you can become a coach in any sport.
