🥳 The Ladder has Helped Dozens of Coaches Land Their Next Job
I went from 10 years as a coordinator to having multiple head coaching offers.
After a decade as a Defensive Coordinator, I knew I was ready for the next step, but I was struggling to get in front of the right people. The Ladder system was a complete game-changer. It’s not just about finding openings; it’s about building a portfolio that stands out and an outreach strategy that actually gets a response.
The results were immediate: I landed 5 interviews and had multiple offers on the table. For the first time, I was in control and could choose the best head coaching job for me and my family. This system works.

👋 Built by a Coach Who's Been in Your Shoes
Thad Wells went from a $2,000 stipend to earning six figures in just 10 years.
He landed 5 head coaching jobs and broke into Power 4 college football—not because he knew people, not because he had insider connections, but because he reverse-engineered what decision-makers actually want to see.
Thad spent years testing, refining, and perfecting this system on himself. He documented every email that got responses, every portfolio element that sparked conversation, every follow-up that kept him in the running.
The result? A plug-and-play system that works whether you're applying for your first coordinator role or your fifth head coaching job.
Now Thad's giving you the exact playbook—so you don't waste another hiring cycle wondering why you're not getting callbacks.
