Quotes on the course:
"I've had the pleasure to learn from Coach Simpson, who is masterful in his approach to both structure, scheme and organization. His desire to help coaches grow their knowledge has left, and will continue to leave a mark on this great game of football!"
Chris Haddad - Founder of vIQtory sports
“Most coaches spend hours upon hours working on skills to help prepare for game day, but the skills that will get you that coaching job are very different! Coach Simpson lays out a step by step plan that goes beyond the X’s and O’s that will have you prepared to get a head coaching job and what lies ahead. “Getting the Job” not only gives great advice on how to succeed in the interview process, it will have you prepared to hit the ground running once you get the job! There was valuable information on ways to stand out as well as insight on what an administration is looking for in the hiring process. I would highly recommend “Getting the Job” to any aspiring head coaches!”
Coach Jeffrey Gely
“This is a must have for aspiring head coaches. Coach Simpson gives an instructive and innovative blueprint to help coaches establish a vision for their program.”
Coach Paul Dyroff - Offensive Coordinator Bishop Kearney
“I LOVED this video introducing many of the things coaching candidates need to do to even get their foot in the door for a football head coaching interview! This video series is a great resource for coaches, at any stage in their career, looking to take the necessary steps to successfully interview for a head coaching position. I appreciated your attention to detail, the many examples you provided, your ideas for practicing interview questions, branding and I especially liked your 30-60-90 day action plan. As a former Assistant Athletic Director, your video is a great road map for coaches to follow during the application, interview, and post-interview process.”

I have become a better coach since I apply coach Simpson's lessons to everything I do."
