I am sure this has been talked about before on here but I was just curious on what other coaches weekends look like during football season. Here is mine....
Friday Night
-Talk with family and then coaches until about 10:30 or 11 and then we head home.
-The film is not fully loaded onto hudl until about 11 or 12 depending on if the game is home or away.
-Watch film until 1
Saturday
-Film and meetings from 6am-11am
-I usually take the afternoon off to watch some college football
-Begin to put our special teams scouting report together on Saturday night
Sunday
-Finish the Special Teams scouting report and continue scouting next weeks team.
-Sunday meeting from 2pm-4:30pm
If only parents knew how many hours we actually put in every week.... Oh and did I mention that I love every second of it!

Friday night we go to my house after the game and have a gathering of coaches and their families.
Saturday morning we meet with the team at 9:00 a.m. and go over film of the previous night.
We break for lunch and then meet as a staff and cover practice plan, depth charts, and general thoughts of the next opponent.
I am home by 5:00 p.m. and it is date night wiith the wife.
Sunday morning break down film at home.
Go to mass with the family.
Yard work and chores.
Reports on opponent film are due to me via email by 5:00 p.m.

Friday night- post game at local establishment-coaches, wives, coaches kids, and significant others
Saturday-practice- kids come in for a workout, those who played watch film; JV guys get organized
for Monday's JV game; while two coaches are running team through workout,
defensive coaches are breaking down video-sometime we have to scout
Sunday a.m. continue breaking down video if necessary
Sunday-informal meeting (HC, DC, and anyone else who wants to attend) to discuss ideas for
offensive/defensive game plan; maybe watch some video
If all video is broken down, compile statistical info for Monday night game plan
meeting

I am not a HC but my weekend looks like this. Post game, help wash uniforms, watch a little film, DC and I do tackle chart. Go home, watch local tv high school football round up show. Usually go to bed about two. Saturday, up at 6 watch our film from the night before and grade the DL. Staff meeting at 9 Sat morning. Usually done by 3 or 4. Go home and get a nap. Then go out to eat with the fam. Sunday is church and family time. I am sure if I was DC or HC I would spend much more time on the weekend

Reports on opponent film are due to me via email by 5:00 p.m. Do you watch and break down opponent film after watching the previous night's game on Saturday? If so, how long does that normally take? When is the game plan made for the opponent? I see you have reports due to you by 5:00 P.M. on Sunday. Are those from the breakdown made by the DC? Does he have from the time you are done as a staff on Saturday to 5:00 P.M. on Sunday to get those taken care of? |

Or with the staff to go over the upcoming opponent's film breakdown? Or with both the players for a certain amount of time and then the staff for a certain amount of time? |

I make a point of not watching film the same day as the game. No objectivity.

Round 8 team came in for film. 9 o clock have brief staff meeting about the next game till around 10ish. The team only watches film for an hour from 8-9 before the staff meets? Is the hour long staff meeting just to get everyone on the same page then you split off and take care of individual responsibilities? Who is responsible for the film breakdown of the opponent? Just the DC or are others involved? Do they do it together or does the DC do it alone? Sunday morning- draw up scout cards for the offense. Sunday afternoon- talk with staff about game. Thoughts, etc... Sunday night- finalize scout cards, weekly practice schedule before leaving office around 4:30-5. You have Sunday morning to Sunday night around 4:30-5 for different tasks? Is the staff meeting this entire time on Sunday? Or do you do that alone? Or is it a blend of the two, some time with the staff and some time alone? |

I make a point of not watching film the same day as the game. No objectivity. I can't help it. I need to know what the issues were. Usually whatever ending up being a problem stands out like a sore thumb. At least that way I don't continue to wonder what the he11 the problems were. |

Staff meeting at 9 Sat morning. Usually done by 3 or 4. What does the staff do together during this time? Watch film together, break it down, scout cards, game plan/personnel, etc.? |

We play mostly Fridays and we scout every Saturday at 2:00, do you guys have a film exchange that you don't have to scout? Scout ends at 6 and break opponent, meet Sunday morning from 9-11:30 then work on our own.

Fri- Game ends, load it up on HUDL, and go meet up for pizza and wings with staff and families
Sat- Film w kids @8, then breakdown next week's opponent. Complete scouting packet, cards, and weekly top plays. Usually done with this late afternoon, get a quick lift in for myself and head home to be with the family.
Sun-Church, time with the family, about 2-3 hours on HUDL during the day probably 1/2 reviewing us and 1/2 prepping for them. Ill probably talk to a few other coaches on Sunday just to go over some things.

davishfc:
Usually we meet no more than 2 hours; sometimes less. If all videos are broken down, we will put formations/plays on the board so other staff members can see on Monday. Sometimes we will put all our ideas on the board. Sometimes we simply watch a video together and exchange ideas.

Scout ends at 6 and break opponent, meet Sunday morning from 9-11:30 then work on our own. You don't exchange film? Our conference which comprises 7 of our 9 regular season games has an exchange policy that involves the previous two weeks games. We'll get scouts out for additional films on the perennial powers in our conference which is usually 3 other schools. We also play a cross over game with another 8 team league for Week 9. We exchange two films with them also. With those schools, we also exchange the previous week's JV film. I like that because we have so many programs in our area that run something different than the varsity at the JV level. I plan to make that suggestion at our league meeting before the start of next season. |

I was trying to wrap my head around the idea that his team plays on Friday but they have to scout every Saturday and that exchanging film seemed to be unusual in his league. Kind of an interesting reminder of how many different circumstances you'll see in this forum. |

We usually play Saturday's @ 1 or 2PM.
Friday night...after practice ends (about 5PM), scout an upcoming opponent if game is available.
Saturday -
9AM at school for 930 team breakfast. Followed by walkthroughs, film, mtgs, travel, etc...typical pregame stuff until game.
When game is over, film breakdown for stats, call local paper with game report...leave school around 6-7PM.
Start uploading video on HUDL, contact next week's opponent for film exchange.
Sunday - film exchange around 8AM (unless team is on HUDL). Start uploading opponent film on HUDL. Watch individually as coaches during the day. Usually spend 3-4hrs breaking down opponents film as HC/OC...DC does the same. We used to meet Sunday nights from 7-11PM but no longer do this since we play on Saturday's so often. Now meet as a staff on Monday's AFTER practice from 5-7PM.

We play on Friday nights and have freshmen-varsity double headers so some times our games end fairly late. We have Saturdays totally off--players and coaches. We have hudl and our HC normally has the game film uploaded around midnight on Friday, depending on how long the game is and/or how long the road trip is. We have until 9 a.m. Sunday to watch the film and come up with suggestions for the gameplan.
Then, we meet as a staff 9 a.m. Sunday to put the gameplan together as a staff. We do watch more film on Sunday--both of our previous game and the opponent scout film--but this normally doesn't take too long as we've all seen it multiple times by then. We normally get done between noon and 1 on Sunday. So, I guess coaches don't actually get Saturday "off" but we get the day to watch film on our own and plan accordingly.

Kind of an interesting reminder of how many different circumstances you'll see in this forum. I know what you mean Coach. Though it is football for everyone, circumstances are so much different throughout the country. There are always a mix of Friday and Saturday games in our state. We exchange film all the time, but we will scout every single weekend, even if we have all the film we need. There are certain things you just can't get from the film that you can get live. Tempo, emotion, size and speed are all much better to judge live and in person. I wouldn't ever give up on that. |

Friday: Leave game quickly and drive back to office to begin uploading/breakdown/etc. via hudl. This usually concludes anywhere from 1:30-4 based on where we are playing and the internet at the office.
Saturday: 6 am. Begin breaking film down (special teams) from previous game.
Saturday: 7 am. Begin breaking down/labeling tape of upcoming opponent 2-3 games.
Saturday: 9-10:30 Film with players
Saturday: 10:30 - 12 Continue and Finish breakdown of upcoming opponent
Saturday: 12 - 2 Work on scouting report for upcoming opponent (all facets)
Saturday: 2 - 4 Work on special teams practice plan, film breakdown, scout material of upcoming opponent
Saturday: 4 leave.
Sunday: 10 - 12 Staff meeting
Sunday: Work until rest of items are finished.
As a staff we need to do a better job of organization and accountability. Our defensive staff didn't get things done until Monday night (Tuesday practice) at :30 and then I am forced to put scripts and scout cards together only to have it changed the next afternoon.
To much time wasted and not enough coaches pulling weight.
I am adamant about getting this corrected and have spoken with HC and DC already and both are in agreement. Burn-out becomes inevitable if changes are not made

Scout ends at 6 and break opponent, meet Sunday morning from 9-11:30 then work on our own. You don't exchange film? Nope, no film exchange, rule is can not trade a film unless both teams on the film agree to it, but it happens. Sometimes we split staff and Jv coaches usually scout during our game. |

Friday
- staff meets with friends & families at a coach's home
- load film on Hudl at the same time (we will NOT watch it)
Saturday
- players & staff will meet to watch film (8am I think & done by 10am)
- Hudl exchange & sharing will take place after team meets
- coaches are on their own after the meeting to watch film and/or be with their families
Sunday
- staff meeting begins at 2pm and the goal is to be done around 5pm
obviously each staff member has work that needs to be done before the game planning meeting on Sunday and will have some more work that needs to be completed after the meeting Sunday as well.
