The art of the coaching interview

The art of the coaching interview

In 2002, I interviewed for a job covering high school sports in The Tampa Tribune’s farthest flung bureau. The gig paid $35,000 a year.
I arrived at the Trib’s office at 8:30 a.m. For the next nine hours, I was passed from editor to editor so I could explain my vision for the coverage of the five high schools on the west side of Pasco County. Three days later, the paper brought in another candidate and subjected him to an even lengthier interview.
Had we been competing for a $2 million-a-year job coaching college football, we probably could have gotten in and out before lunch.
