Head Coach

The head coach is the coach of a top American football team and the best paid in the coaching staff. All other coaches are responsible mostly for a specific part of the team, such as the offensive coordinator for the offense and the defensive coordinator for the Defense, for a specific position or for a specific task, such as the conditioning coach.

College Football

The head coach of a college football team is already a professional team aside so he can focus on tactics and not have to concentrate so much on the training. A further object of a head coach in college is the scouting. The recognition of talent is one of the most important characteristics required by a head coach in college. Usually a college coach remains only for a short time with a team. Often this phase is also used to try out various new tactics and discovering good player, which can be used in any subsequent career as an NFL coach ( Pete Carroll, who won the Super Bowl XLVIII with the Seattle Seahawks in the 2013 season, coached at University of Southern California ( USC), the later Super Bowl MVP Malcolm Smith).

Professional football

The coaches of professional American football teams are the best paid coach in all sports. The best paid sports coaches in the world is currently Bill Belichick of the New England Patriots. This deserves estimated 7.5 million U.S. dollars per year. In professional football, the task of scouting no longer falls on the head coach, so this deal all the more with the tactics.
