Longer and sideways doesnt make it any cooler...HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I don't think IPad when I see a fanny pack This thing is redesigned, re-imagined, and re-purposed....but it's still a fanny pack. Or maybe the illegitimate child of a fanny pack and pocket protector. Regardless, I wouldn't wear this any more than I'd wear those Bike coaching shorts y'all used to wear back in the day!!!

I'm offended. (That's what we do now right? ....get offended?)
I'm new to this, "Being offended" thing...not sure I'm doing it right.
BUT...this thread has convinced me to buy a visor, wear it backwards and upside down (Maybe a little off center??). I will also go get an IHOP menu (I love IHOP!) and strap it to my belt along with a tri-fold wrist coach on my arm.
Last but not least....I guess I have to grow a beard. No man-bun....sorry fella's...I just can't do it.

Visors were nice in the FL heat until my hairline disappeared like the Snowbirds at the first sign of warm weather. Now, I look like Lebron and his sweatband if I wear a visor. I wear my hat backwards, something about a brim and stadium lights bugs me. My doppelganger is on our staff, he's 10 years younger than me and wears his backwards as well, just to show how cool he is. My MIL couldnt tell the two if us apart from the stands, she made him turn his hat forward. I lug my iPad around games now, as we have Hudl Sideline and an endzone camera. I still havent found a comfortable way to hold on to it. It's a game-changer, but really awkward. GameChanger right here, Ipad.. or pizza.. either way. I'd strap a slice of pizza to my belt loop. Now THAT would be Facemelter.

Good to know you get the slappies up at that level/country too. Our DL coach is just a yeller for the sake of yelling. He likes to make real long drawn out speeches too before, during AND after all games. He kept the JV DL for about 15 extra minutes last night after our final game while the rest of the team cleaned up the field. If this guy was on my staff, he'd be a former DL coach. Don't have time for yellers and long winded ones at that.

The person on the right in my avatar is my wife (with our grandson).
I'm pretty sure people have assumed for some time I'm a "success" regardless of how I dressed.
And she's probably been as big a factor in me getting some jobs as my interview, resume, or wardrobe.
They might have been fifty-fifty on me, but definitely wanted her in the community!
(She's as beautiful a person as she is on the outside). Thought for sure that was your daughter! Out kicked your coverage like all good coaches should do. You out kicked your coverage... and i still can't get my punter to kick the ball out of bounds on command. Kicking game never was my thing.

It really is... Like I get a laugh at these guys with all these giant play cards. Half those plays won't get touched all year, no point. It's not the size of your play card it's how you use it
Living in Big Ten Country (and having been born in Green Bay) I watch Wisconsin whenever I can.
Paul Chryst uses as many formations, motions, and shifts as anybody I've seen.
When he's getting ready to call a play he unfolds something that looks like a 5"x8" note card.

The defensive call sheet we use is on a laminated spread sheet that moderately full (8x11). And the font size is pretty big so the HC can see it. It hardly ever gets looked at after our pregame coaches meeting. The process of putting it together during the week is what makes it useful. The guys in the box use their tendency reports to track the game progress and that is more helpful that anything that could be on a call sheet.
In a former life as an OC, I only kept a 5x8 card folded in my pocket. On it I had 8-10 things written on it such as: see how they line up to _______, Run Play Action on 1st down, Run XXXX pass concept, etc... It was a script of sorts of things to try early in the game to get a feel for what to call. However, one year I did wear a sweat band on my arm; it was red and on my right arm. The QB had trouble figuring out right/left.

Geez, I guess I am th worst guy in the world, I used to always wear my visor backwards (at least when I was at a school that had visors). I have never found a hat that fits my head right (they make me look like I am 12), but visors fit fine. I turn it backwards because yeah I like how it looks but also cause I hate getting sunburn on my neck. Mix in that and the fact that I like my plays readily available on my waist and I am public enemy #1. I guess my saving grace is being clean shaven and coaching defense. I'm with you brother. I wear a visor, clip my Special Teams depth chart to my belt, AND rock a fleece zip vest in fall weather (it's not THAT cold in Louisiana this time of year). I must be a major douche lol.

lets see, when I was getting ready for 7th grade football I found these riddell cleats that were black with the white strap at the top the bottom was molded cleats that were red, I bought them at a garage sale for 25 cents, wore them to practice all proud that I had cleats, the year before I wore my white high top canvas Olympics basketball shoes, after practice I had the worst blisters I ever had, my mom felt bad for me and went and bought me a pair of brooks cleats, I was in heaven, I haven't worn the bike football shorts since 1993, I was a lot more fit back then

I'm big on dress for success. I'm not talking a suit, but looking sharp means something to me. It's kind of a new thing tho, I didn't care the first 31 years of life.
It's important to dress professionally to be sure.
As the voice of experience - don't sweat your balls off or freeze your azz off for any reason.
You can't coach your best if you're worried about your personal comfort.
Coach I worked for said wear the coaching gear I've given u, but if it's cold or wet, wear whatever u need to stay warm and dry. Just don't be ridiculous with the colors.

The first OC I once said that all coaches that wear shorts to a game can get schemed up. He won like 3 or 4 state championships in FL and was finishing up his career with us. Around 35 years coaching all together. I saw a team we were playing wearing shorts. Of course I was in the middle of my powerlifting career at about 285. I was hot all year. I said man we need to wear shorts. He said, "No, you can't wear shorts to a game. Any coach that wears shorts can get schemed up." Now just about any coach that I have coached with will say that or text that to me before a game if the other team is wearing shorts. He was full of stuff like that. Things like "Ned and the first reader." "Katy bar the door." "88 and out the gate." Learned a lot from him. haha. We wear shorts when it's hot and I've never been impressed by guys who think that can beat you by out-scheming you. So all wins are jimmys and joes? No specific scheme needed?

The QB had trouble figuring out right/left. That's primarily the reason I have a call sheet. It's not quite an "if-then" sheet that you see from some option guys, but it's real basic. "can we run outside?", "how does the DE react to this block?" etc. Once we find out honeypot, we put our paw back into until they close the lid. But there's a process to finding what they're going to give us.
