In kind of a weird situation right now.
I absolutely LOVE my head coach but I know that either this year or next will be her last year coaching until her children are out of hs. She has a boy in 7th and also 8th grade. She's talked to me about taking over the program, but I really don't want to. I've done my time as a head coach, ad while I'm exceedingly grateful for that opportunity, I'm more comfortable as an assistant.
Most likely she would stay and teach here in the district, just elect to not coach. So, I'm going to have a hard decision to make here pretty soon. If she were to move and continue her coaching career elsewhere, I'd be gone in a heartbeat. Any thoughts or scenarios, similar?

Make a list of pro's and con's... which one outweighs the other.
I'm choosing to step down as a coordinator to be an assistant... I had a good run but I didn't enjoy coaching as much as I did as an assistant and I have less free time with my daughter. Much more important for me to be there for her instead of game planning 24/7.

You don't want it, I would say leave....
It would be hard to stay after turning her and the district down

No one else that could potentially step up. Well, I guess there are, but no one I would want to work for.
Now, nothing is set in stone. I'm hoping for her to stay and coach one more year because I really don't want to be one and done. And I do like it here. She's done an amazing job with the softball program and kinda like someone else said earlier, I've been a head coach and know what is required, but I have such a better time as an assistant.
Think I might have a sit down with her to see what her plans truly are. I'm not even sure our AD knows, but I'm sure he has some sort of idea. It's just an unusual situation I haven't faced in my career quite yet.

When the situation arises and you still really don't want to be HC, I would say just be completely honest with them and tell them you want to be an assistant. If they are great admin they will find a way to make it work for YOU. But, this is all based on who they would hire after you turn it down. If it's someone you know you can't work for then yes obviously you would leave.
