Only if you desire to be a HFC, and its job you can win enough games to move on. Never take a HC job at a place you want to retire from. It won't last.(generalization)

leave a cush 6A assistant job and take a pay cut to be AD / HFC at a 2A? Ask yourself these questions in order: 1. Is it going to be a good spot for your wife and kids? 2. Is it a career goal of yours to be a AD/HFC? 3. Is it a place you will be supported by administration? I've had to turn down several really good jobs because the answer to #1 was no. The answer to #2 and #3 was a resounding yes, but it didn't matter. great advice.

Nope...at the same time I can't really move around too much, my divorce decree says so.

leave a cush 6A assistant job and take a pay cut to be AD / HFC at a 2A? Lots of things to consider...some already mentioned (and some great advice). Also...do you know anything about being at a small school? That's an important question. Do you know the challenges of having only 4-6 assistants (and yes, that covers JH staff, as well). Do you know how to take care of the field (mowing, painting, etc)? Do you (or your wife) know what it's like to be in a town that -- if you need something at 10:00pm, and you can't get it at Stripes that you're about to drive to the nearest city to get it? Lots of questions outside the realm of x's and o's.

I've thought that way before....but the pros of coaching at a small school outweigh the cons by a long shot, for me anyway.

I have been in both as well. Its been great raising my kids in a slower paced environment. Feeling more a part of the community was and is a huge draw to living in small town USA. And it teaches you to plan ahead if and where possible. I live 45 minutes from anything I absolutely want. And I live within 15 of anything I need.

BRAVO sir!

I've passed up on looking at quite a few jobs over the course of my illustrious career...I'm not sure I'd take a pay cut for more work even if it's for the HC/AD title...you will earn every single dollar of it at a small school like that. My wife has such a great job now, it's hard for us to move away from a metro area even though we could. I grew up in small town, don't think I can go back. I do however like the slowed down lifestyle at times and miss sitting my fat a22 on a tractor going around in circles planting wheat...
So in response, I don't know, I turned the page and am not sure my answer helps any. Good luck!

I worked at a small school, lived in the country and loved it. Now in a large school district, metro area, and great over all high school with high academic standards. Would end up being a pay cut and more hours to go back and be AD / HFC at a small school so I think I am going to pass this time around. I do however, want my kids to attend a smaller high school eventually so I will return to a smaller community at some point.

pay cut to do more work... Yeah I might be dumb enough to do something like that

That's a pretty accurate description of my path back to the hotel last Wednesday night from Bourbon Street...
