1. Players over coaches, players over plays
2. SELL OUT for recruiting, understand the sheer importance of having a roster full of the best athletes in the country
3. Create an attractive/popular/trendy brand of football that resonates with the nations best prep stars out of high school every year
4. Be remarkable / differentiate / capture national media attention (e.g. think Kiffin with his twitter account trolling Saban, or Harbaugh being a member of a high school football chain gang, etc.)
5. Be highly analytical and have a firm understanding of data trends/next gen statistics/sabermetrics in football (e.g. the work being done over at footballoutsiders.com)
BONUS: Demand the highest pay among assistant coaches. Make NDs coaching staff the envy of college football again/a destination job not a springboard for another program who actually rewards their coaches.
BONUS II: Demand a recruiting staff that rivals that of Ohio State & Georgia where some 100+ staff members are involved with scouting and recruiting talent.
this isn't 1960 anymore.
the days of head coaches being stereo typical middle aged hard @sses who runs players into the ground/barking at their assistants/behaving like drill sergeants (e.g. Brian Kelly's style) are long gone/ in the past
