1. I felt the posts were harmless... No real insider/behind the scenes stuff... Nothing that most spread coaches haven't seen or used before 2. Both visits I saw multiple coaches filming practices 3. They've been pushing how they're now all access and open to public and Hs coaches 4. I respect them and that is why instantly removed both posts from my blog even though he only specifically asked that the second post be taken down I meant the posts to be purely informational I have a fear of being blackballed like someone mentioned He mentioned in further email correspondence after I apologized to come introduce myself next time I visit... Part of me feels it's a trap and he is going to have the air raid secret service waiting to take me away to Guantanamo Bay Go introduce yourself, you were at his practice, and he asked you to take it down, you did. No big deal. In your post you even stated you didn't want to share anything that might be insider stuff, and he said just take down one post. He's not mad a you, probably would have preferred you had asked since you were a guest. ... now you can use it as a way to network. For the others getting mad at the coach for asking him to take the post down, we have no idea why and its only speculation to assume the reason. Maybe its not the drills he was worried about but the players in those drills. Only the Cal coaches know.

I've had a few run ins myself. I usually avoid posting video of practice stuff, and when I did my audience survey guess what they wanted? I didn't even like posting video of what my own staff did last year. Then again, my site isn't as much about analysis, it's about coaching coaches. You don't always need video to do that (or in-depth diagrams).
That being said, I'm getting ready to release a full course on Power-O for free at Strong Football. I went to Wisconsin's former OL coach (now with Tampa Bay as their OL coach) asking if I could use his videos from 2-3 years ago, and he said yes. I did that mainly b/c I'm going to be doing a course on it, so it will be a product of sorts even though it's free.
Regardless, being a blogger is ... difficult at times. you have to balance a lot of things.

I've had a few run ins myself. I usually avoid posting video of practice stuff, and when I did my audience survey guess what they wanted? More video of practice stuff. I didn't even like posting video of what the staff I was apart of did last year. Then again, my site isn't as much about analysis, it's about coaching coaches. You don't always need video to do that (or in-depth diagrams), though it can help. That being said, I'm getting ready to release a full course on Power-O for free at Strong Football. I went to Wisconsin's former OL coach (Coach Bostad, now with Tampa Bay as their OL coach) asking if I could use his videos from 2-3 years ago, and he said yes. I did that mainly b/c I'm going to be doing a course on it, so it will be a product of sorts even though it's free. Regardless, being a blogger is ... difficult at times. you have to balance a lot of things. The readers want on thing. The coaches you work with want another. Guest bloggers want something entirely different. Just wait to you have a self-hosted domain. It only amplifies b/c then you have to deal with spam too.

So I'm literally, shocked and blown away right now as I type this... Apparently my blog is more popular than I thought... I just got a personal email from Tony Franklin himself asking me to take down my blog posts from spring ball... They have too much insider information... I thought what I had was generic, I wasn't giving up anything that was a secret in my opinion... But I apologized, I feel bad for upsetting him And I'll be taking the posts down once I get home I'm still in shock...am I a bad person? Coach For the record...Im a nobody and read your Blog. So dont be surprised that a somebody reads your Blog. You do a nice job.

I enjoy reading your blog and all the other blogs coaches write. If someone doesn't like what you write, they can hit the x button. Keep up the great work.

Bdud,
First, you know I like your stuff. I think you should get back to Cal and introduce yourself. Nothing bad can happen.
That being said, agree or disagree, internet culture and free information is here and it's going to stay. I am a journalist. I struggle to keep a job mostly because the bizness is a mess right now. People tend to overprotect themself. Everything seems to be secret. Everybody wants to control his message: coaches, politicians (for sur) but even smal business man, local brewery, hobo... It's about fear. It's a silly situation, really.
Time will heal it I think. Everybody's still adjusting to this new world even Football Coaches.
At the end of the day, it's not a big deal. So Coach Bdud, keep on writting good stuff online. Keep on sharing knowledge. Don't be afraid to use that to network!!!

dcohio - Tell you what. I'll come to your practice and put up some of your newer plays on the internet and cc your opponents and see if you have a problem with it. That's an awful analogy. Only clips of individual drills were on the blog. I don't care if our opponents know our indy drills. They can watch all the film they want on them. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using proboards
