I have a daughter who 4 but has been able to get in a 3 point stance for a couple years. She loves to put on a princess dress get down in here stance and yell. Hut! Hut! Hut! Before running full speed and tackling me or her mother and yelling dog tackle! As she pounces on you (our school nickname is the bulldogs). Still needs some work on wrapping up but not bad for a girl!

My son is 9 1/2 months and I just got pretty stoked because he was catching a ball (more like trapping it in his lap with his arms but hey, he's 9 1/2) and trying to get it back to me. For a second there I had visions of a skilled player until my wife reminded me hes in the 95% or above on size and said "If you want him to be a skill player you better change your offense and add a TE or FB on a regular basis otherwise honey he's a D-lineman or Left Tackle!" I then immediately started drawing up our option game with an H-Back including play action...

I was walking through footwork and handoff technique to teach our qb ride and decide stuff this morning and my son came barreling down the hallway to take the handoff, I resisted the urge to pull and run.

you know youre a fb coach when...
when the christmas gift to your grandparents (or parents) is a qb wristband with modified templates so that they can fill in what medications they need to take and at what times.

...if you've ever used furniture to simulate a LOS so you can explain a play to your girlfriend. ...if you keep an army cot and a sleeping bag at the field house. ...if your favorite social events of the year are the super bowl and the Glazier Clinic.
By the way, one of my favorite things to do at the clinic is to go into a crowded room and yell,"hey coach!".. and watch 500the heads turn at once.

Ha ha...I taught my son the three point and his but was a little high so I say B get your butt down or we aren't playing anymore. And my wife looks at me and says "You coach it or you allow, Eddie!"
Also her mother once got us a nice little cabinet for our son's room and I told her to give it to his cousins because it had a soccer ball on it.

We are all flippin nuts Some of the ones I am relating to... - Half my clothes are coaching clothes... sweatshirts, t-shirts, polo's - Can't sleep when thinking or re-working plays - I use yardage to mark distances Ones I haven't seen or may have missed - blood pressure goes up whenever you see black and white stripes - I've been hatefully angry when seeing a soccer game on our football field (I have likened it to watching another man be intimate with your wife or girlfriend... Yes - I hate it that much! I usually get a puzzled look)... - I've been caught arranging the salt and pepper shaker with other items on the dinner table to look like formations while out with friends. - Signed footballs... tons of them. I have footballs all over my house signed by my players... gifts for coaching. - My whistles hang from my rear view mirror, I've got helmet parts everywhere and occasionally a knee or thigh pad will just show up somewhere in my car. - Recently I was studying Quantum Physics and was trying to relate it to football so I could understand it better...

My nephew came down today for Xmas and I was chilling at home in my footy jersey cause it was about the only thing clean (plus they are suprisingly cool-I love summer Xmas)
First thing my nephew says "are we gonna watch you play football uncle matt!" Not even a hi, just that. Now I gotta convince his parents to let him play real football cause he actually said he hates soccer. So proud....

Rookie mistake

I got a couple of football books for Xmas and my yelled at me just before lunch telling me to put the books down and be sociable.
I was stoked yesterday actually, my father in law is a real history buff (I think the history channel is about the only channel he gets) and I got into like a 2 hour chat about the 49ers from years back. My wife was giving me death stares the entire time

you might be a football coach if you taught your children that "punt" was a bad word...i did, we had a year where i believe we only punted about 6 times for the year, we had a very good year.....i have since learned that punt is a very good word especially if you have a good one.....last thing, you might be a football coach if the names you suggest for your first born son are gunner,;bear, boomer, dillinger or rock...all of which she turned down as to violent...so we settled with paxton "bryant" of course named after the bear.....football is a wicked sport and it would sure be tough on a kid playing the tuba with the name rock

My three year old will never put his hand in the dirt because he will be the next Marino. Ha ha.
Went to the baseball field to work with my 5 year old girl to work on T ball stuff and my 2 year old runs past first base and yells touchdown and breaks out his end zone dance.
Both kids know the rival town as Losersville. My wife doesn't care for this one but it's true.

just discovered 2 new ones this past week:
- The real reason the smart phone was invented was so that I could dig up that Cover 4 thread on coachhuey to reread while I was standing in line at the theme park with my kids
- You are 600+ miles away from home at a resort and while paddle boating with your kids somebody yells, "Hey coachwoodall!!! I would recognize that logo anywhere!" while pointing at your shirt.

You might be a football coach if you're in a supermarket and see a big grade school-aged kid and you 1. wonder what grade he's in 2. hope he's zoned for your HS 3. look to see how big his feet are.

I have to tell this story real quick. I am a HFC, my brother is a Head Basketball Coach, and my Dad was a Head Baseball Coach. So our holidays are spent: Thanksgiving - talking current basketball/most recent football season Christmas/New Years - talking baseball/ongoing basketball season Easter/4th of July - talking football/most recent/ongoing baseball season We buy each other books (which we read first of course) or DVD's (which we watch first) or something else sport related. It's awesome. Adopt me. Please.

If you realize that more than 50% of your wadrobe is team/coach gear and you don't care because at least you don't have to spend money on new clothes every year.

Exactly what I was thinking.

My family is getting like yours, DC! I've coached nine years of football and I think I have a job for this fall--waiting on board approval. One of my younger brothers was a head high school basketball coach for I think five years and is now in year 2 of a college GA basketball job. My other brother just started in the profession as he coaches JV basketball now. And, our dad has coached baseball for I believe 26 years!

Or you take a black sharpie and some duct tape to your $300 gortex jacket from your last school to make your new schools logo and color over the old schools colors. Kids love it when I bust that out at practice.

I was telling my pregnant wife that I had a cool dream the other night and before I had the chance to tell her she stopped me and asked was it about the baby? I said, "No...I had a dream that I was offered a job to coach at a school in our conference who has won back to back state titles and I was choosing between schools." Needless to say she wasn't too amused and didn't seem to be excited as I was...it was hard to believe!

You've ever been been driving down the highway and you set the car on cruise and tell your significant other to take the wheel so you can draw up the play you just thought of. (happened the other day on a 3 hour road trip)

This is my favourite thread. So Im gonna revive it. Our season doesnt start for another 2 months (Europe). But preseason starts in 2 weeks.
Last night I woke my girlfriend up shouting about football. She can recall me yelling formation names and saying "Thats just the way football is sometimes."

when you get a text from your sister that says " I assume you are responsible for this?" with a video of your 3 year old nephew at a birthday party saying" look Uncle Stevie", dropping down into a perfect three point stance, calling a cadence, firing out and laying out the birthday boy. Then getting up exclaiming " My head was in front, my head was in front!!!"

You might be a football coach if you are trying to last a little longer for your wife/GF and you start thinking about defending bucksweep by a very good wing-t team in your league. ...I mean...um...I heard a friend of mine does that... Thinking about baseball slows me down. Thinking about football speeds me up!
