Most coaches in the NFL started at a high school level and worked up or they were NFL or NCAA players and were given the jobs (like peyton manning could be a quarterback coach ANYWHERE) when he retires but i would say just go to local high schools and let them know what you know at whatever coaching position you want to be and work from there

High School assitant to head coach
HC from highschool to assistant in college
HC from college to assistant in NFL
assistant from NFL to major coach in nfl

Man buddy i hope you are in your early 20’s. 1. You need a masters to coach at College level 2. watching the game on t.v. is nothing like coaching it. Ask yourself this… Can i look at a formation define the strengths/weakness of it and diagram all the plays that can be run from it and things that can be done to stop it?Do I know the proper techniques of every position? Do I know how to break down game tape? Can I handle working 90+ hrs. a week for virtually no pay for 5yrs? If you still think you can handle it pick up books on the game and read a post i wrote a few days ago (left out HS sec.):
Becoming a Coach in the NFL is prob. not realistic. Most of the coaches are former players and those that weren’t had fathers affiliated with the league. Issue with College coaching is the Masters requirement (does he have one?) and the student coaching positions tend to be awarded to former players of the head coach. High School is his best bet as all it requires is your states teaching license and an open slot at one of the high schools.
NFL-Contact all 32 teams front office & Coaches. Locate retired NFL coaches and get to know them/ask for assistance. If he’s lucky he will get in at the basement level as a tape guy. Pay is horrible, 90hr. work weeks and no guarantee of advancement.

CFA-Contact the athletic department of every single university in your 5 state area. Best results will prob. be at D3 & NAIA. If need be ask about a non-paying position just to build up his experience.

THe best way to start is through high school. But it is possible to get a film job or equipment position at a junior college or small university. Make connections, it’s all about who you know.

Question one do you have any college football playing expierence at all. If you do, then you can pretty much get things going. Most College coaches today usuallly start at what is called a coaches assistance program or something another. These are usually coaches that never got drafted or invited to play in the NFL.
Lets take Rich Rod formly of WV now head coach at Michigan stepping stone to his career. Upon Graduation in 88, he then took a job as a coach assistant at WV, these jobs are for no pay, so you’ll need a second job. Then he got his former head coach and others to vouch for him with his first coaching job, he coached a Div 3 school
Salem or Glenville State one of those two schools, that school dropped its program a year later. Bowden of that time coaching Tulsa
heard about him, hired him in as a offensive co-ordinater, he then ttok that to Clemson, then took over at Tulsa as head coach, then to WV, then to Michigan.
Your steps are: Get into a coaching assistants program, your Alama Matter should help you there hopefully. Then get your coach to vouch for you to get a head coaching or a positions coaching job at a school willing to pay you. From there hopefully you can work your way up.
Coaching football at any level is far more than reading plays, making up plays etc…, you must manage up to 100 different personalities,
be able to keep that programs boosters and alum happy, and have good recruiting skills, plus manage you coaches and assistants too.
Allot of coaches out there that are great with x and o’s arent head coaches because they lack those abilities, and settle in in a career as
off cord or def cords instead. You must be very organized, a good goal oriented individual that not only know how to get to point a to point b
but know what it takes in between point a and b to reach those goals.
knowing x’s and o’s isnt the only true thig they look for in a head coach.

I’m not sure how hard it is but I’ll ask my Mom. When I was in 5th grade I started to play soccer. There weren’t enough coaches, so rather than have to cut people (probably including me) she stepped up to the plate and got a "How to play soccer" book and became a coach (and i don’t think she’d never even seen the game played before). It didn’t seem to me (at the age of 9) to have been a big deal, I didn’t appreciate it then. Although, not too many years later did I truly see what my mother had done for me. She had stepped out of her comfort zone and put her neck out there for me. We didn’t win a lot of games, but we had fun and that’s what sports should be about at that age. This was the single most poignant moment that I recall looking back on and actually knowing (for real) how much my mother loved me.
So my advice to you is – Do It! You’ve got more experience than she (my mom) did, and there are not going to be many more years that your kids are going to want you to be around that much; sorry but that’s the reality teenagers.
