Another Fan Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Kind of a weird question my mind pondered. I mean most people can see and know their track record. It's not like working people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

row_33 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 There has to be 1,000 pages of paperwork to file and medical stuff to go through, so yeah something has to be submitted like a CV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Head coach positions, where as you state is easy enough to check records, I would think not. But someone applying for a beginner type assistant or maybe high school coach, they should have something to present that can be verified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBud Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Always wondered what went into a coach or GM interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo716 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 (edited) I have had to interview for every football position I have ever had not always like a typical job interview but more focused on you and your vision for the team some black board work and some Xs and Os to see how you process the game... lots of tough questions to see how resilient your character is... do you persevere? Or do you fold Edited March 23, 2018 by Buffalo716 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. From Notre Dame. Technically he resigned, but it was because the lies on his resume were discovered. So the answer to the OP's question is yes. http://www.nytimes.com/2001/12/15/sports/notre-dame-coach-resigns-after-5-days-and-a-few-lies.html Edited March 23, 2018 by Steve O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so much the O'leary affair, but the whole Bob Davie-Tyrone Willingham era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 A decent LinkedIn profile should get you a job like Notre Dame or USC. I think that’s where they look first. The pros also check jobs.com and all the other sources...very deep research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick the Greek Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I’m sure statistically one would want some bullet points on a resume. Im thinking along the lines: had the 5th best run defense in the NFL, etc. Stuff like this isn’t reallly common knowledge as one would think.

/dev/null Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 They probably have to submit something in writing to show interest in the position. Depending on the vacancy, that could be as easy as typing up a text document saying "I coach football and my phone number is 123-456-7890" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DriveFor1Outta5 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 No, their prospective employer has already seen them fail on live television with their previous team. In other cases, they know their father. On a serious note, it’s a good question, but I certainly don’t know the answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadingpain Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 It's a simple question. Is it accepted culture/practice for major league sports coaches to formally submit a written resume/CV when seeking a coaching position, or isn't it? I think it probably is, actually, but I don't know for sure. I was clerking in the Sabres' legal department when Darcy Regier was hired as GM, and then shortly after when Lindy Ruff was hired as HC. I don't recall formal resumes moving around the office, but I wouldn't necessarily have seen them for sure if they had existed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I would think it's similar to the film industry or players. Coaches have agents in agencies, those agencies would inform leagues people they have available with write ups of their previous work credentials. Teams would then look over these lists and inform the agents they would like to interview a client of theirs. I don't think it's like other jobs where they just say they need a coach and people just submit a resume to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
