1 Comments:

  • If you can get an interview with Tiller, then bravo! However, keep other candidates in mind and contact them soon; football coaches are royalty on their campuses, and might be pretty hard to pin down.

    Some of the early questions are particulary fact-based, and if you are interviewing somebody like Joe Tiller, then these are things you can just research on the Web.

    More specific things. #4 is VERY broad; pick narrower and better defined aspects of coaching. #5 sounds like two questions. #8 should be prefaced with the question, "Do you have any plans to retire?" Otherwise, asking in your original way risks insult.
