The Exclusive CC Interview with Charlie Strong
Robert Boland at The National Football Post put together an interesting hypothetical checklist that outlines the important questions that schools and athletic programs should think about when looking at potential coaching hires. Below is a snapshot of said checklist:
School questions:
1. Does this candidate have experience running a program similar to ours?
2. If not, what in his background makes him attractive to us?
3. Rather than his won-loss record, did he make it better?
4. Does this candidate address any of the failings or weaknesses of the outgoing coach?
Program questions:
8. What kind of football program should we be offensively and defensively?
9. If a coach doesn’t fit these styles currently, has he shown versatility in coaching or developing talent in other ways in the past?
10. Do we have any advantages or limitations in playing or recruiting certain types of players? If we are considering hiring a coach to make a change of style, do we have the ability to make it personnel-wise?
11. Does this candidate help with either extending our advantages or fixing our limitations?
12. How do our current players fit with this new system?
