I coach at a school where we have a bunch of suburban kids who are told by their parents that they are the best at everything. I'm sure you have seen some of these, but our team is full of them. We have been told that it is the coach's fault if they don't get scholarship offers. (BTW, we have been to the playoffs 1 time in the school's 70 year history.)
Needless to say, the kids are not very football smart. I want to start a Football 101 class after lifting each day. Nothing too strenuous, just about 10-15 minutes a few times a week.
Will you list some topics that I should cover? I greatly appreciate your help.

I would devote at least one session a week to some general leadership/character development and one night a week to something related to your X's and O's specifically. Then, maybe one session a week on some general rules or concepts about rules that your team didn't grasp last season.

What curriculum would you use for leadership/character development?

I've never used a leadership or character development program before. I only suggested it, because even if the sessions are short--10-15 minutes at a time like OP stated--I think the kids would get bored quickly if they were strictly rule or X and O related every time.

I've got a bunch of young kids with low self-confidence. A leadership type series would do them some good. Has anyone seen a good character development program out there, or use one yourself?

Id spend some time covering the difference between pro and high school rules.
You might take a period to cover things like unbalanced lines/eligible receivers
work on your defensive alignment and why you have to be accurate in alignment
show video of techniques that you coach and why you use them.
run fits and trapping the football- huge problem in bad programs.

We had guest speakers every Wed. They were leadership type lessons. Each coach had to have a lesson prepared Ian's be ready if the guest speaker didn't show. We were in a great area for guest speakers. Plenty of business people, military, and so on. We had 15 assistant coaches all on staff.
