A head coach is only as good as his assistants and the assistants get better with a good head coach as boss.  All these people know their x's and o's some are more creative. A few like to take risks. Some are very good teachers of technique and have a handle of fitting different techniques to different players based on talent/ability. Some are very good motivators appealing to a players self/team pride. Assistants are a dime a dozen but very good ones are hard to find. A good Head Coach knows when to delegate and how much to delegate to his assistants based on their knowledge and competence in teaching the players. Its all in the details the smallest details. There cannot be any failures in communication.  A head coach cannot put up with any crap from his players or assistants.  Whether you are going to be a winner or a loser is determined in the first week by the actions that a HC and coaching staff take.  It will determine what players stay and what players go.  Its not an easy job. They are paid based on the teams performance i.e. winning/losing to a great extent determined by the potential marginal revenue that accrues to the program if they win. And they are paid or expect to be paid accordingly. And if they fail....they get fired.  It's a club that shakes itself out like any other profession. The better ones get hired for better jobs and are  paid more, and the mediocre get the scraps.
