#7: Southern Maine AD John Sutyak joins The AD’s Office to dive into hiring coaches, maintaining relationships and more. When hiring, Sutyak has two key questions: “Are you a good person and do you work hard? I think those are the two most important things for me because if you're a good person and you have a good work ethic, you're going to put the work in and people are going to gravitate to you. They're going to follow you in a good way. Even if you're not as good of a coach, you can learn how to be a better coach. You can learn how to adjust your tactics or anything like that, but by now, you are who you are. […] I tell the coaches you run your program. I'm not stepping in unless you do something: you violate my trust or you do something that I might have to start micromanaging you. I always joke if we only want to strangle each other three times a year, we'll have a great relationship. You're not always going to like the decisions I make and I'm not always going to like the things you come to me with; we just have to work through that. I think that's what I try and I try and sell them on. I'm not micromanaging you. It's your program. Run it as you see fit. I step in when I have to and I just be honest. I'll be honest with you. You'll be honest with me. And as long as we can work off that foundation of trust, I think it's going to be fine.” To create and maintain cache with coaches and student-athletes, Sutyak tries to attend 70% of all home games, which he tracks, and at least one away game per year. “But when they see you at the games, like when they know you're invested, when you have to have hard conversations, they can't sit there and tell you [you don’t care].” More.
