The type of degree is not as important as the resume you compile. Coaches will have degrees that run the range of what universities offer including English, Business Management, Poly Sci. Most coaches will either play football at the next level (NFL or CFL) or become Graduate assistants and work their way up from there. After working a GA or returning from the NFL most will become a special teams coach, then move to a position coach, (running back coach linebackers coach etc) prior to moving up to a coordinator. Which is one of the last stop on the way to being a Head guy.
