This is a piggy back off KyleM at what does your program do best.
What do you want you team to be known for?
This was my first year at my new school and as I sit here taking notes on our team I am at a loss with our group of kids and program what do I want our team to be known for. Our Team Vision this year was "Excellence Through Teamwork" Kids had a history of not playing as a team and did a great job of understanding their expectations as playing as a team etc.. Our kids and program have never had any identity. We tried to establish a power down hill run game and at times we did dominate and have a great run game, but looking at the linemen type kids we have, we do not have have big ol war daddy linemen, not too sure we have the kids to line up and just go straight ahead every play.
We have great kids and they do a lot in return for our community as far as community service, coaching and officiating youth football league, and representing our school and community with pride.

Physical football. We want to be good at blocking and tackling.

We have some character things that we want to be known for, but as far as football goes we want teams to watch our film and say "these guys get off the ball fast" and "they swarm to the football." Regardless of what we have run, those are always things that we preach and drill.

For what we've been known for in the past: Tough, never quit, hardnosed, fundmentally sound, well coached, hardest hitting team they've played. I also like JG's "winning" too.  |

The things we can control - effort, attitude, condtioning, (to a degree) execution, sportsmanship.
Being resourceful and a team that doesn't beat itself would be nice too.
But rest of it is at mercy of physical make-up of team from year-to-year.

Five years ago I would've scoffed at the pretentiousness of how this reads but to be honest, "all the kids who play football become better men (and pending the school Christians)" Granted, that is something that would really only be known at the campus or in our community.
Now if we are speaking about things that others, outside the program, would know us for (and not just always winning) I guess I'd like to hear, "your kids are always having fun, flying around, and enjoy playing football."

"We would rather lose well than win poorly."
Well and poorly referring to things like cheap shots, dirty play, going to school, staying clean, respectful behaviour, etc...

1. Character program. Winning obviously is important but having kids exceling in areas outside and in the program is huge.
2. Effort/physical. We never quit in a game, no matter who we're playing or the score.
3. A team that executes. Want to be able to run the ball better but we have to be able to execute.

Our team motto is "I LOVE TO HIT" it was there before I got there and will be there long after I leave.
We're also known as the only team in our city who runs a wedge play, from our old double wing days which has stuck around.

1) an excellent experience (we want our kids to have a 1st class experience, which includes success, fun and learning)
2) be a physical football team (we are not there yet, not even close but we want to be and are working toward that)
3) a winning program (same as #2)

1) Physical - Every tackle/block/truck should blow you back.
2) Attitude - Even our littlest players should feel like they can take on anyone.
3) Effort - Everyone should be useful for the whole play. Everyone keeps blocking, and everyone gets in on the tackle.

For us on defense... we want people to know and see that we are relentless, we run to the ball, swarm the ball carrier.
On offense... we want people to see that we are very good at running the zone read scheme, and can do enough variation within it to make it difficult to scheme the 'who's got the back, who's got the QB' scenarios.
excerpts from our local paper ... and it's what we try to be about....
"They just always seem to find a way to overcome whatever shortcomings they have and get into the postseason. Why? ... That winning mojo. The Leopards know how to win. They force mistakes and don’t make many. ... the team without a glaring weakness."

"They just always seem to find a way to overcome whatever shortcomings they have and get into the postseason. Why? ... That winning mojo. The Leopards know how to win. They force mistakes and don’t make many. ... the team without a glaring weakness." Dang... I normally don't give a hoot about newspapers, but I'd be pretty geeked if one said that about my program... For me: A thoroughly prepared, suffocating defense that forces you to play perfectly; an offense that is physical and revolves around having a series of plays where you cannot stop everything; special teams that are special. I'm pretty close to "Beamer Ball" in a lot of ways, just not this year's version. |

When other coaches watch us on film, the first 2 things I want them to say is:
1. They are coached very well
2. They play extremely hard

-Discipline on the field - minimal penalties, turnovers, stupid mistakes.
We were successful in this regard.
-Discipline OFF the field - I can't stand when I hear someone talking about "that football player" did. I love being told how polite, respectful, and upstanding our young men (and occasionally women) are in the community.
We were NOT successful here, but I'm going to put half of that on how things are done at home for a few of these kids. Still, we coaches have work to do.
-Win or lose, we want our kids to be prepared for the high school when they leave us. We've been VERY successful there.
-We don't want to be a one-trick pony. I do everything I can to involve as many ball carriers/receivers as possible, sometimes to our detriment.
