Qualities in a great college football coach?

[preacher_dawg]

Thinking about our new coach and I can see how he seems to have the qualities of a great football coach. What are some qualities for a coach to be successful?

1) Organized, especially at a P5 school which is a multi-million dollar organization.
2) Smart, gotta be able to understand offensive and defensive systems
3) Great communicator
4) strike a balance with a relationship to players so one is not too aloof or not disciplined enough (see Moorhead)
5) personable, able to make a good first impression which is needed for recruiting
6) Great work ethic, it's a job that takes long hour
7) able to delegate responsibilities
8) Can handle the stress that comes along with a job like this

What else?

On a side note, I would like to put my name in for the AD position**

1) Be well funded by employer
2) Be well supported by NIL
3) Elite recruiter of players and coordinators/position coaches/support staff (see #1/#2)
4) Sets winning tone and accountability in player/coach development
5) Lets coaches coach and players make plays (don't be a prisoner to "your system" - do what works best for your coaches and players)
6) Let the P defeat other coaches

At the college level, recruiting has to be at the top of the list. It almost has to be like an obsession. Recruiting now has also transformed into NIL deals and the transfer portal as well as recruiting your current team not to leave.
Coaches who do not adjust quickly to the new system are about to get buried.
