Good vs Great Assistant Coaches: Consistency, Program Fit, and Leading Beyond Your Position
Episode 13
Thursday, 2 July, 2026
On The Coaching 101 Podcast, hosts Daniel Chamberlain and Kenny Simpson discuss summer updates—Simpson’s busy fireworks fundraising business for coaches in Arkansas and Chamberlain’s new baby, Magnolia—then share a Tony Dungy quote on consistent success and promote Simpson’s Field House coaching group. They outline differences between good and great assistant coaches: moving from being liked to truly developing players, running drills to improving them within the program’s structure, and leading beyond a position group when needed. They add key traits such as being a program guy, lifelong learner, taking tasks off the head coach’s plate, strong character and professionalism, and high football IQ. They explain why great assistants may struggle as head coaches due to leading coaches, constant hard decisions, and non-scheme duties, and how assistants can improve the whole team by prioritizing winning, adapting roles, and working well with staff.00:00 Podcast Kickoff00:34 Fireworks Fundraising02:53 New Baby Update04:14 Quote of the Week06:37 Field House Community09:20 Sponsor Shoutouts12:17 Good vs Great Assistants17:16 Program Guy Mindset19:43 Take Work Off Coach20:49 Character Over Credentials21:48 Football IQ Matters23:38 Assistant vs Head Coach28:07 Big Picture Leadership31:53 Admin Work Reality Check37:14 Make Whole Team Better45:21 Wrap Up and SponsorsDaniel Chamberlain:@CoachChamboOKChamberlainFootballConsulting@gmail.comchamberlainfootballconsulting.comKenny Simpson:@FBCoachSimpsonfbcoachsimpson@gmail.comFBCoachSimpson.com
