1. What is your coaching philosophy and how do you plan to implement it within the team?
2. Can you share your experience coaching high school football and any notable achievements or successes?
3. How do you plan to develop and mentor the players both on and off the field?
4. What are your plans for improving the team's performance and competitive standing?
5. How do you handle discipline and ensure accountability among the players?
6. Will you be involved in the college recruitment process for players who aspire to play at the next level?
7. What kind of offensive and defensive strategies do you prefer, and how will you adapt them to fit the team's strengths and weaknesses?
8. How do you plan to engage and collaborate with the school community, parents, and booster club?
9. Are you open to input and suggestions from players, assistant coaches, and parents? How do you promote a positive team culture where everyone's opinions are valued?
10. What is your plan for developing a cohesive coaching staff and fostering teamwork among the coaching staff members?
