I have so many stories over the last few years when I have been fortunate enough to visit several places. To the original post I have always have been baffled by people's behavior and nothing ever surprises me.
1. University of Alabama Clinic 2013 - My fellow coach is a huge Saban and Bama fan. When we show up for the first night in Tuscaloosa he is a kid in a candy store but is always professional. He is more excited just to be there and have an opportunity to listen. We sit down and a couple guys recognize that we are from the north and ask "what the f are you guys doing down here?" I am blown away. I politely say to get away and visit new places while learning some football. For the next 20 minutes, they go on telling everybody around them that we are not from the south blah, blah, blah.
2. Nike Pittsburgh 2011 - Todd Dodge is speaking with the Pitt staff and has a breakout session. I am interested in going and seeing if I can talk to him about his success at Southlake Carroll (TX) and and such. Walk in and there 5 other guys sitting in the last row. I go front and center. After 5 or so minutes, he asks so what questions do you guys have. I politely give the guys in the back an opportunity because I am set to go for 2 hours. They say nothing. As I am waiting, I put a snuff in. Coach Dodge goes "what do you got there?" I told him lip candy. He laughs. He says well hell, I don't want you to snuff alone, I am from Texas, and my wife isn't here. I offer him one and he instead goes and grabs his own. I ask him how is the transition from HS at Southlake Carroll to Pitt gong? He pulls up a chair and sits right in front of me and its on. We talk for 2 hours about everything. The guys in the back eventually got the idea and just left. They could have come up and joined however, society has a communication breakdown now with electronic devices.
3. Nike Louisville 2012 (I believe) - Saban is talking again. Same buddy as before in #1. Saban set to talk at 9 he goes and reserves seats front row at 7 am. Saban comes in and its a packed house. He goes through his normal routine and of course asks if anyone has any questions. Some guy in the back asks a question Saban had answered 5 minutes prior (the guy's phone went off and he took it" Saban I guess saw this and hammered the guy. Called him an idiot and said if its important you have been paying attention and not on your damn phone. Place went nuts. At the conclusion they announce no photographs/pictures. Soon as he is done it is like a stampede of men of all ages with memorabilia, phones, etc. Practically got trampled sitting in my seat. I am sitting there and we are talking and start walking out. Guys in line say where you going? We replied, to be adults.
Just baffles me on dress, attitude, behavior etc. of people at functions these days.

I have been gathering my thoughts on this for a few weeks, but I've got to get some feedback on this. I am not going to say what clinic and where. However, I have noticed this even when I was a young guy and as dumb and immature as I was it bothered me then. I'll set the stage for you...
I was a clinic at a pretty major University. Like every clinic, there was a major speaker. Someone they advertised on the brochure. During his talk to mostly High School coaches, there were actually guys in the crowd getting up/standing up to take pictures with their phones (the world we live in, I know). At the end, the major speaker gave his closing comments and left the stage. When the host came up to tell everyone to take a 10 min break, the major speaker gets swarmed by half the guys in the room. It literally looked like a bunch of 14 year old girls at a NSYNC concert (Beatles for you older guys). I am talking running up to the major speaker and taking selfies with him, giving him bro hugs, etc... I am not at all trying to be self indulged here or toot my own horn, but I didn't do any of this. I didn't ask for an autograph, nothing. When I go to a clinic, I like to meet people and talk ball.
To be frank, and I'm channeling my inner dcohio here, this type of stuff flat out pisses me off. I get it, "big time" guys are somewhat celebrities. But, big time guys are no better than really anyone on here. Sure they make more money, but our jobs for the most part are the same (I guess that could be up for debate). Furthermore, we are talking about grown men here. I even saw guys wearing this major speaker's school logo. Same guy put his jacket back over the shirt after the major speaker left. I am sure there is "that guy" in every clinic audience, but that many?!?! When I go to a clinic, I want to talk ball with the big time guys. I want to ask questions on X's and O'x, Leadership, Fundamentals, etc... I am not necessarily going there to Tweet selfies and post pics on Facebook. I don't know, maybe I need to lighten up. Odds are and with as many people on this site day in and day out, one of the "Groupie Members" is gonna read this, but in my opinion you need to STOP DOING THIS!
For the record, my wife thinks I need to lighten up. "They're celebrities and they know that it comes with the territory" was her response. Maybe she's right, but come on guys we are professionals. This has bothered me for a long time. I probably shouldn't have made this thread, but I just wanted to know if I'm missing something. Maybe it will be locked, but I think it's something that has potential to make some good conversations. Sounds like we may have been at the same clinic last weekend. That crap really makes me laugh. I {censored} you not, Urban was standing there talking to someone and there were coaches walking up behind him and having their buddies take pics while he was having a conversation. I almost puked.

Being one of those puke QB coaches, does it count I also have been a DC half my career?
LOL...
Only liked Cope when I was hunting otherwise it was Skoal, but I'm from Brooklyn so it doesn't count.
When I was in Charlotte as soon as I open my mouth I would hear " You ain't from 'round here". We had our whole team say 4th Quarter in a Brooklyn accent "fort quawater" it always produced a laugh.

PS never wear flip flops or a damn visor even coaching in Florida. I do have a big Panama Hat though.

Doesn't scare me off. Rooster A wink's as good as a nod to a blind mule. First of all the Copenhagen fine cut scares most of these young pup Grizzley dippers off anyway, but it is entertaining to watch them try it. 2nd - Nope, it sure doesn't scare off defensive guys, not a single one has ever given a chit and neither has any oline coaches. But those QB/WR coaches...they want nothing to do with it and I'm pretty sure I've heard the word "icky" a few times from them. That's really my target group. I don't want those QB/WR coaches to infect my tin with their flip flop and visor gayness...that chit might be contagious...and how the phuk am I suppose to coach defense or linebackers in a flip flops and a visor? It just can't be done. Besides, if I ever saw my self in flip flops and a visor I'd have to beat my own a$$ and all though I could really use a good whoopin, I don't think I should be the one to do it. So it's best for everyone involved if DC's Cope, is DC's cope. I think it is amusing to offer those who don't. I have more luck with females dipping then men. Don't ask who I hang with. This WR/DB guy goes Cope or broke. Young pups go Apple, Berry, etc. I laugh and they ask what is so funny.

I might be in the minority here, but for many of the reasons stated previously I refuse to go to any clinics that feature big name speakers.
For one, all the fanfare.
Secondly, I know this concept might be a bit beaten to death, but I feel like when a big time coach is discussing concepts, I cannot help but visit in my mind the fact that he has a fleet of corvettes practicing those concepts while I have a couple of AMC Gremlins (dating myself, but what a car).
Third and most importantly I subscribe completely to what dcohio said previously. Coaches are coaches. I value the guy that wins in my circumstances more than I do a big resume. Both are equally good IMO, but one applies to ME more than the other.
I don't think I would be one of those groupie idiots around a "big timer" but I generally keep myself out of those situations.

I want to tell a story about an earlier poster's experience with some guys in groups having their own clinic in the back of a room while the speaker is talking . . . So, I was at a Glazier Clinic in Cleveland and there was this group of coaches in the back laughing and running their own clinic. Well, the best part was . . . Frank Glazier was still alive then. He was up front listening to the speaker when the guys in the back caught his attention. Boy did they get an earful. Frank blew the whistle he always had on him, and proceeded to tell them to shut the hell up or get out, and if they didn't like that . . . they were welcome to leave the clinic. They were embarrassed so they got up and left the room. Everyone started clapping and cheering on Frank. It was funny funny.

It's a miracle I made it out of that year without putting that guy through a window.

Copenhagen - My father, a cattle rancher in CA, would buy the rolls of Copenhagen. Brought them home, opened them, and filled them with Calverts whiskey, put them in the refrigerator. Would dip that at the same time as Days Work plug tobacco. When we stopped somewhere he'd spit out the Cope, put the plug on the dash of the pickup, take it back when he got back in the truck. Always had a couple of spittoons around the house.
Clinics - I'm in software and see the same progression at football clinics as you do at the software gatherings. You start out as the eager young neophyte and progress to the grizzled master. What you want/need from the clinic changes with each season until you get to the point that you could pretty much walk into any session and give it yourself without much effort. I'm to the point that I go hoping to get 1-2 new ideas that might help the program in some way. I don't go for schemes or big things, I want the more specific, detailed sessions.
As they say - you learn more and more about less and less until you know everything about nothing.

The Inset photo in breakerdog's post (bright pastel light shoes, no socks, visor with attached Oakleys) is coach at my alma mater.
He is considered a "rising star" in D-I coaching circles. Look for him to have a BCS job by 2018.

I hit this way early in my career. Like 1997/1998. I'm a glazier clinic, I'm a young coach, I am sitting in the session like I'm a disciple and Jesus is speaking. I'm writing as fast as I can. Jesus...I didn't know chit. I was listening to Charlie Wiles talk, wrote as much as I could. Left the session when it was over. Later found myself in the Riddell suite (when they use to do that) drinking beer and eating Pizza, a few guys from VT's staff were in there Charlie was one of them. I started asking Charlie about Dline play and he said "hey, we are all going to go get something to eat, lets go." So chit...This is big time, these guys are Virginia Tech!! Neither hell nor high water is going to keep me from going. So I go. We go to the restaurant and we are all drinking and just BS'in ball...which means they are BS'in and I'm just keeping my mouth shut happy to be there and there was an epiphanatic moment (yea, I make up words) where I thought "man, these guys aren't any different than the dudes on our staff. They have a phuked up sense of humor, drink beer, laugh too loud, etc, etc." and from that point on I have never been impressed by the logo on their chest. Those dudes are just dudes. Think about some guys who were at the pinnacle of coaching and are now at other places. Like Bowden at Akron or Solich at OU or Tuberville at UC. Those guys were all at the top of the mountain at one time but no one is sprinting to the podium to get a picture with Frank Solich now...but when he was at Nebraska...know what I mean? And they are all great dudes. I remember Urban when he was at BG. He was a good coach then but not the icon he is now. What changed? He's won some football games. Well, holy chit...I've won some football games too and I didn't get to recruit my players. Can I get a definition please? But seriously great post. These guys are just coaches too.

MSU hasn't won a recruiting title ever, I don't think. Hal Mumme isn't who is because he had his choice of kids. There is a reason we coach.

The problem is addressed in the thread subject...it is professionalism, or in the case of a lot of HS coaches it seems, the lack of it. I see such a lack of professional coaches in all school sports anymore that I really am losing my faith in what it means to some guys to be a coach.
Carry yourself like a pro, which means you don't go all apeshizz over some college guy. You see him in the lobby or something, shake his hand or say great job, whatever.....just quit embarrassing yourself with the selfie crap. I never wear any college or even pro gear, so to the guy with the coaches shirt, well whatever floats your boat. Kind of scream azz bag to me.

Just to give my view of this, I'm from Brazil, I admire american football and, like my wife said, and I quote her here: "You love this sport more than you love me".
Buuuut, I WOULD NEVER TAKE A SELFIE with a guy I respect. I hate all this celebrity stuff, wherever it is.
1st, the guy did not even know you. So you have a picture with him, Congrats champ!!!! 2nd, show some self-respect. Grown man taking selfies and acting like little boys gives me the creeps.
But I'm only nagging here. I would love the chance to watch some clinics live and talk to coaches. BUT NO SELFIES. PLEASE.

I appreciate s73 for trying to keep this thread on track. I agree with you on the corvette's part. I see so many guys try to take stuff directly from clinics to implementation and it not work. It's important to remember that whatever you get at a clinic or really from any other coach, must be adapted to both your kids and your system. I mean, heck, I went and spoke to Narduzzi last year, I heard all about their cover 4 and the way they played their front but even they changed some things to fit it better to the personnel they had this year. I mean, chit, if I had the 4 kids they had in their secondary 2 years ago I'm pretty sure my clinic talk would go something like "OK...well we play these 4 guys in the secondary and I do my best to just let them play and me not screw it up because they are really freakin good." I mean even the Great Urban's offense changed between Tebow and Leak and from Braxton to the other 2. Even those guys adjust what they do to who they have doing it. Sorry to flood the thread with 3 posts in a row, I have a 1.5 hour lunch period everyday and I just got back. I appreciate the shout out for me "getting things back on track" but......that was before I read all the "dippin' posts". As a FORMER DIPPER of many a tobacco product I must tell a story as sadly that is all I have left of my BELOVED former habit (not sayin' I don't cheat every once in awhile ). So many years ago I used to dip all the time. Practice, games, whatever. I know it's not the most professional, but then again, neither am I. Anyhow, met up with some former players about 3 years ago and we were telling old stories. To be honest, I thought I hid my chew from them pretty well but as the stories unfolded they let me know that they were on to me. Anyway, they go on to tell me that at halftime of every game they would assign a look out to the locker room door & the look out's sole purpose was to see if I was puttin' in a chew as I was walking towards the locker room for the halftime speech. They said that if I was puttin' one in everyone knew I was pi$$ed and they were gonna get their a$$es chewed (no pun intended). If the lookout said "no dip" they knew I thought we were playing well. I reflected on that & they were spot on. Sometimes these guys know us better than we know ourselves.

My first year coaching I was lucky enough to work with a guy who was college room mates with Mike Shanahan. He was speaking at the University of Illinois clinic and wanted to meet up with his college buddy for lunch. So, our staff, Shanahan and his dad go off to lunch after he speaks. This is after he had won his second Super Bowl and the guy is "the" mastermind in the NFL. Guy was as normal as could be. Even gave me crap about wearing a Steelers hat when I first met him.
The one thing I remember most about that lunch was that he said if given the choice, he'd take Manning over Leaf because Leaf was a nutcase and that he'd take Cade McNown as the second best QB. Even over Donovan McNabb.

Upon further review, the Leaf/Manning thing was in 98 and we met in 99. I guess he meant he would have taken Manning over Leaf.
It's been a long time...

DC Ohio
LOL.... It's been a long strange trip. This will be my 39th season. I started coaching DL/LB's, first serious job was as a DC. I was a HC for quite a few years, that's when I moved over to Offense. QB coaching has really been my forte for a number of years now. Our QB's do have a LB mentality.
When I returned to the school I am at now I came back as the QB coach. Anyone that knows me, knows I have my hand in other things as well. Last season, our DC took a job 2 days before camp in private industry. The HC asked me to take the DC job, I did so with the agreement he would take it this year so I could return to QB's.
Don't get me wrong it was fun being a DC again, but as you well know it's too much work for this old man. The weekend of our play off game last season I watched over 25 hours of video in 2 days.
This season I am back at QB's, but still have a hand in almost all aspects of the team. It's great being at a place where I an respected. That doesn't mean they don't break my chops, just that they do listen.
Over my career I have coached every position at one time or another. QB is just what I do best.
Being a Brooklyn boy we never dipped, when I went to college I tried it for the first time. Bad move, I actually liked it. When they stopped allowing coaches to smoke on the field we all dipped. Funny but I stopped when I moved to Charlotte.

We had a head coach in our conference who would do that. Said it was his job to drink and his assistants job to attend the speakers. He was 0-9 the previous year... You said "Had" as in past tense.

I was at a clinic with a staff I was one in 2006 and we had had a very good season the year before. We went 11-1 and made the quarterfinals. Due to this, our HC was chosen to speak at the clinic...and it was the only session we went too the whole time. I was disappointed, to say the least.
