My experience is that they ask very few questions about football. Typical questions i have gotten are:
1. What is your philosophy of coaching?
2. How are you going to increase numbers?
3. Some sort of scenario they want you to respond to about a troubled parent.
4. What are your plans for hiring assistant coaches?
5. What are your goals for the program?
6. What do you plan to do for fundraising?
7. They will probably also ask something to get a feel for how you discipline players.
I hope this helps, good luck with the interview!

I know it may sound cliche, but be yourself. To throw another favorite out, "make sure it is a good fit"
In other words, don't try to paint any illusions of what you aren't.
This kind of advice used to bug me but now since I am in the position, I understand.
There is always an element of trying to say the right things, but you don't want to paint a picture of yourself you won't want to live in later. Make sure they are clear about who you are. The job takes a lot of time and energy. If you are going to put in the time, make sure you are comfortable with how you think it will go.
Again, I hope it doesn't sound to abstract.
Good Luck! It is a great gig!
