Welcome to Under The Headset

January 15, 2018

Welcome! Under The Headset is a place to find articles and interviews with football coaches. Occasionally there will be insights from coaches of other sports, but the primary focus will be football of all levels. The goal is to provide both fans and other coaches perspectives about the coaching world from the people that live it everyday. It’s an opportunity to pull back the curtain a bit and learn a little more from them than you see and hear in a typical press conference. If you’re looking for a site to find out who’s on the “hot seat” or flex your internet muscles on why you hate this coach or that coach’s decisions, then this is the wrong place for you. The mission of this site isn’t to join in on tearing people down. The mission is to highlight the variety of people and stories that live and breathe in the world of coaching. Enjoy the ride!
