Two questions: If I have a system that I know works why would I change it? That 14 year old, doesn't he have to learn whatever scheme you run? Coach, absolutely, the boys have to learn what we teach. . . . But this forum is a testament to the football idea that there are dozens and dozens of schemes, plays, strategies. There are so many because so many work. It just might be that because a coach has mastered something, that everyone that comes after him has to learn and master the same thing. In rec and HS and college you are turning over yor roster every four years. Not unreasonable to turn over ones strategies once and while as well. If only to go through what a young player has to. Learn something new. Are you an administrator? Because if you aren't I am sure my district would hire you! "We have a great new data driven program that will send test scores through the roof!" Year or two later "We have a great new data driven program that will drive test scores through the roof!" Next year "This new program is gonna get us over the hump and test scores up!" Then they wonder why test scores never go up. Cause the kids have no phucking clue whats going on since it changes every year or two. See what I am getting at here?

Coach, I think I see what your getting at. Football doesn't change and once a coach hits on the right formula keep cooking it. I am not suggesting that any coach should change for changes sake, but I am suggesting that maybe looking at the ingredients you have on hand may make you change the formula.
Didn't really think I was stepping into something with this thread.

Didn't really think I was stepping into something with this thread. well we change up the formula every now and again, but the fundamentals are always the same: the way we think about play calling never changes the way we tech blocking never changes the terminology / master blocking calls never change the personnel groups never change (we will always be a 30/31/32 team) our system never changes, but the plays we call in season do. this comes from the fact that our system allows us to run almost anything under the sun (aside from inside zone, and inside veer - we run with 1-6 inch splits....)

Private school = parents with money. Private school = recruiting. Its easy when you treat high school kids as assets and can scholarship them. Hell the local private school here has a freaking recruiter on staff. Not all privates are created equal. Heck we lost 4 kids to 3 different public districts this year and that's just the returning starters. Good point. My former school dropped two private schools off their schedule this year because they assumed that private school=impending powerhouse. One of those schools has a benefactor pumping tons of money into their small program and has stepped up the recruiting, so that was probably a good idea. The other had to cancel their season and may be closing their doors within the year.
