Description

In this episode of The Daily Coach: Sports Leadership Lessons, we revisit the four types of coaches most often hired in college football and why so many programs repeat the same mistakes. While schools chase schemers, caretakers, and recruiters, few prioritize the strategist, the only type of leader capable of building a sustainable and adaptable program. This episode highlights what separates true strategists from managers, why turnover remains so high, and how coaches can expand their skill sets to lead with greater clarity, anticipation, and long-term vision.
