I'm still young and in high school. I play football and would like to believe I'm good enough for a college to want. I don't feel like in any way I'd be able to go pro, but I want to stay in football and it auto clicked in my mind to coach. I know alot about football and all that great stuff., BUT WHERE DO I START?

First off I would talk to your counselor at school and they can direct you into the proper courses. I know my son has changed his major in college to secondary education and post secondary education because he wants to go into the coaching profession. I hope I have helped a little anyway! Best of luck to you! /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" />

Go to college, major in education, (special education certification will get you a job in about any school system you would want to coach in), pass the praxis, and start applying !!!!! goodluck !!!!!

Also get certified in classes other than PE and Drivers Ed so you will be able to go more places you might want to coach. The math and sciences are always hurting for good teachers at schools that may already be full of PE teachers.

 

Also know that your PRIMARY job will be that of a teacher first and Coach second. Also be prepared for low pay and LONG hours and folks being on your back constantly because you cannot please EVERYBODY.

Talk to your football coaches and see how they got their jobs! You might be suprised. Go to coaching clinics. Ask questions. Don't limit your self to one section of Tennessee or Tennessee for that matter. You have to go where the job's are. And remember on into your career why you got into this profession to start with. Let your wife you will not be home on Friday's until 3:30 Sat. morning. She will have to play father on Sunday when you are breaking down films. Monday is the "B" team game and finishing up the poop sheets to give players on Tuesday. Thursday, you are painting the field or watching the Freshman play. Friday is of course the game. Saturday is the only off day. So I hope you do choose the coaching profession, especially middle or high school. Good young are hard to find these days.

BOY!!!! you hit the nail on the head with your daily breakdown of activities there. As a first year coach this year (straight outta college), i can tell you that my first season can definitely be summed up in two words: LEARNING EXPERIENCE. i only hope that all of my seasons to come will install as much knowledge on me as this one did.

 

But yeah, listen to what these guys are telling you. go to school, major in a particular subject (math, history, government, etc.) and then minor in secondary education. also wouldn't be a bad idea for you to pick up a second or third minor in other subject areas in order to broaden your chances of finding a job (i could have in the time i wasted enrolling in about five or six courses i didn't need). best of luck, and i know you will do just fine.

      And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…

      Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads.

      Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.

      After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time.

      Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
