What to wear to a track coach interview?

Hoodie and tights.

I am a division I head coach, I have worn a suit for every interview I've ever had.

Wear a suit. It shows professionalism, maturity and that you are serious about the job. Do not dress like a track coach, dress like someone on a job interview!!!!!

Speed suit, with bib so they know your name.

Go with shorts-over-tights

1. Speedo.

2. Bottle of baby oil

3. Vibram 5 fingers.

That's it.

You're welcome.

Zoot suit.

Who's to say what the interviewer is looking for, what if the head track coach wants someone to dress the part, why wouldn't you dress the part? Are you going to wear a suit everyday? Does a basketball player wear a suit to his tryout? no. Does a investments analyst wear a suit to his interview? Yeah because that's how he goes to work everyday. Show professionalism by not wearing sweat pants and a hoodie, but a nice polo/button down and jeans/slacks is always a great option in a coach setting.

This is stupid, stupid advice. So, you're supposed to guess what the the interviewer might want you to wear? What if you get it "wrong"?

Suit every time time for interviews, like the other guy said

Wear WHISTLE on shoelace NECKLACE. This what coaches wear.

If you're being interviewed by a woman, then Dick-in-a-box. Trust me.

Suit is the only way to go. If you are smart, not an off the rack one either.

A close friend was brought in as a "sure thing" job offer to an ACC school. He didn't wear a suit cause the interview was a formality. That was until the AD felt like the coach didn't take the interview serious and was showing the school no respect because he had slacks and a polo on.

Suit up always.

I am nobody. I would hire the guy in the suit.

Short gym shorts. Long tube socks. Hooded sweatshirt. Baseball cap. And have to have whistle on a string hanging form your neck and of course a stopwatch hanging on a string as well.

Nice tennis shoes.

I am an assistant at a Div 1 University and I wore a suit to my current job interview and will wear a suit to every other job interview. People are not going to think any less of you by wearing a suit, but they may think less of you if you don't.

Do you want these people to pay you a salary? If yes, wear a suit. It can't hurt.

Exactly. Some ADs might not think less of you for wearing coaching gear. None will think less of you for wearing a suit. Why take the chance just so that you don't have to spend an extra few minutes getting dressed?

And to the guy who said that you should wear to your interview whatever you will be wearing to work on a daily basis, this is wrong. My office is business casual, but everyone wears suits to interviews here. You don't wear a suit to your interview because you will be wearing a suit to work. You wear a suit to your interview because it is an important event.

Don't mention that you get your advice for your interview from Let's Run or it won't matter what you are wearing

Just the tie.

Nothing else.

Right on the suit but if the suit fits you off the rack who is to know. You can get them altered as well.
