As a first time head coach, your head will be spinning. There’s a good chance you won’t sleep for the first month or so (and that might never change). And everything is going to feel rushed. But do not be in a hurry.
Those are the words of wisdom that BYU coach Kalani Sitake picked from observing Kyle Whittingham and Gary Andersen as first-time head coaches. Sitake was on both of their staffs during their first seasons as head coaches. First, in 2003 at Southern Utah with Andersen. And then, two years later at Utah with Whittingham.
