A college football head coach has to wear many hats. He has to be a politician, a fundraiser, and a hiring manager. He has to scout, identify, and recruit talented players to his program — before mentoring and coaching them. He has to lead a roster of over 100 young men through a critical time of their life and education, as well as lead a similar-sized group of slightly older men charged with supporting those younger men. Oh, and that’s before the actual football coach work of scouting, tameplanning, and gameday management — all the things that go into the narrow margins of winning ballgames to determine if your life’s work is a success or failure.
