I think all this "out-work 'em" and "be a grinder" goes back to Woody Hayes.
The story is after two unremarkable years at Ohio State, which at that time was known as "The Graveyard of Coaches," Woody was sitting on his porch one Spring evening and overheard some people talking at a party in his neighbors' back yard.
"This will be the year we finally get rid of Woody!" one of them said.
Woody said to himself "I'll show them!" and from then on set his alarm clock for an hour earlier.
He was famous for saying "I'm not as smart as some coaches but I can sure outwork them" and for keeping his staff late into the night.
In his autobiography, Earle Bruce (who was an assistant to Woody and succeeded him as head coach at OSU) wrote "We spent a lot more time than other teams on planning and preparation, and I'm not sure it was all necessary. We spent a huge amount of time planning contingencies. Instead of sitting around for hours at a time and debating plays, which we did, we could have been more resolute."
From Woody's coaching tree, which included Bo Schembechler and Lou Holtz, his credo spread far and wide.

I don't track my time. I think that we as FB coaches consider it a "badge of honor" to say we spend more time on FB than anybody else, etc.
PERSONALLY I don't believe this necessarily correlates in the win/loss column. I have had weeks where I spent countless hours working only to realize I over thought some stuff and it cost us in execution. I have had other weeks where I did not spend a ton of time and we executed very well. My point is, if you have a system in place you believe in and have answers that you have thoughtfully planned out then working SMARTER (efficiently) I believe is more productive than just putting hours for hours sake.
With that said, in the off season, besides the weight room time, FB is always on the periphery of my mind. I couldn't tell you how many hours that consumes. I just know it helps me to be more efficient when the season starts.

I'm a varsity assistant and special teams coordinator at a school of about 600. I will count teaching time in my schedule as I do have time to watch film during the school day more often than not. During the season, my workday is essentially 7 a.m.-7p.m. Monday through Thursday and then 7 a.m. to midnight on Friday nights as all of our games are on Fridays here in Iowa. We do not formally meet as a staff on Saturdays but depending on opponent, I'll watch anywhere between 2 and 5 hours of film on my own and then we meet as a staff for 2-3 hours on Sunday. So, I guess that adds up to roughly 70 hours, depending on the Saturday load. ' I am a single guy with no family, but at the risk of sounding like a softie, I'm not a "grinder." I genuinely hate film study although obviously regard it as a necessity. I pretty much have to be done with football activities at 7 on weeknights and try to do very little Sunday afternoon. I've noticed I really need those mental break times. Follow-up question, how much effect do you think working these hours have in relations to you being single with no family? In other words, do you think it hinders your chances of starting up a family? I understand that you may not want a family at the moment by choice, but if you ever did want one, would these kind of hours be negatively affecting the chances of that from happening? Other coaches feel free to chime in, although this was a "general" post, I asked because for me, there is definitely a deeper meaning behind it for me. Full disclosure: I was engaged one time, but never married and I know for a fact that my coaching commitment and the time spent on it was at least part of what caused her to leave...although trust me, there were plenty of other issues! As far as why I'm still single and if it relates to the time spent coaching, I don't know honestly. I will say that most of the guys I've coached with before and coach with currently are happily married and it doesn't seem to strain their relationships at all.

I am currently moving from a 1A/2A school in Illinois to a 3A one as HC. 250 kids to 480 kids. I will talk about the small because I don't know exactly about the 3A.
During the season my day would look like this- 740- Get to school (Tuesdays and Thursdays I'd run at 545am) 810-945- Teach 2 classes 945-1030- Prep- Usually spent on football stuff- usually preparing scout team cards/Practice Plans 1030-1210- Behind the wheel time/1 class 1210-1235- Lunch (Usually football stuff) 1235-310- Teach 3 classes 310-345- Try to get in a lift while waiting for coop school to get here for practice 345-545- Practice By 6pm- Home for the night
That's Monday-Thursday. Mondays could run longer depending on if there's a JV game. Fridays I'm usually home by 11pm. Saturdays I get up at 630, run 6.5 miles and have staff meeting 9-Noon. No meetings on Sunday.
What killed me was I was also basically the groundskeeper so I also had to find time to work in painting the practice field, mowing, etc.
Summertime we lifted 4-5:30 Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. Had 1 Saturday 7on7 and a couple others on Wed night.
New school should be less time because I won't be the groundskeeper and they have athletic PE so there won't be anymore running weights for two hours after school in the winter/spring.

The most difficult job we have is trying to balance family and football. When I was a single coach (until I was 37), I lived at the field house. Two years ago we had our first child. I had to realign some priorities so I didn't sacrifice being a great father to be a great coach. We work long hours, but we try our best not to neglect the family to do it. What it comes down to is "are we prepared" to put our kids in the best position to be successful? My first mentor in coaching retired a few years ago. He said he regrets missing so much of his daughter's activities when she was younger. He said he didn't realized how much he missed until he retired. We turned a bad program around, and we got more efficient every year, but we still worked longer than anywhere else I have been. I have been more conscious of making family a priority during the season.

I actually tracked my hours the past two seasons just to see how much we worked.
Two years, two different head coaches: The numbers were similar. I spent roughly 60-65 hours per week (teaching and football).
The difference: Both teams were similar talent-wise. We won three less games in 2016 than 2015 because our 60-65 hours per week ended up being used much less efficiently.

Lots of wasted time, fellas! One day you're gonna retire and realize it. I did the same thing that you all are doing... thinking that you will outwork everyone. Can't get those years back, boys! I may not get the years back...but, in the State of Texas...where a large majority of the communities live and die by Friday nights...you better be working and you better win or you won't have a job. The pressure is TREMENDOUS to win...just like Coach Vint said. I'm not saying Texas HS football is better. I know there is great football in almost every state. What I am saying is the commitment and the investment from the Community is incredible. We coach in better stadiums than a lot of Universities at the FCS and D2 level play in. I currently work at a school that has a stadium that seats 18k with artificial turf and we have an indoor facility. Our practice fields have turf outside. We just passed a bond to build us a new 8,000 square foot weight room. We have to win. It's a 'win at all costs' mentality. It may be wrong...but, it's the truth. It is what it is. When I left the college level...I worked in a 4a level school (3a back then - 900 students)...pop of the town was around 12,000 people. We came in at 6 am on Sunday mornings to work...we broke for church at 10 am and came back at 2 pm. We had to leave vehicles in the parking lot (instructed by the AD/HC) so people would drive by and think we were still working. If we did not...they would call the principal and the Supt. Not kidding. For you and other coaches who coach in Texas or in places where the pressure is TREMENDOUS to win (and you lose your job and all assistants with it); at least at the big time colleges, these coaches have millions to rely on as they walk out the door. I just don't understand how you do the same on what is a teacher's salary? What are your options if you were to get fired? Does this also mean you never purchase a home because you don't know when your time may be up? Or does the good ol alumni booster club do a lot of 'fundraising' on the side? (don't answer this question! )

In hindsight, coaching and winning was easy when we had great players and it was a chore when we didn't have the players. It's all about the Jimmy's and the Joe's. Out of the game now and I still say that coaches waste a ton of time (I was one of the worst) just so they can brag about it on forums like this! Way too much time spent on non-productive things.

33coach when you said soon to be Central Section, I take it as the central valley which is where I'm at. So we're probably not too close lol huddlehut I get what you're saying, but I really do enjoy/love and have passion for what is a "game" at the end of the day. It would be like never having to work a day in your life, I really do enjoy it that much. Being a young unmarried guy, What I can't predict/expect is what happens when a family comes into the picture and how does that affect things. I spend a lot of "time" thinking/daydreaming about football, I do other things (travel, being active) but then it eventually comes back around to something football related. It is not the game of football per se, but the relationships you build with the kids and the lessons you teach, that's what I preach and truly enjoy. Also seeing a perfectly executed Triple Option Pitch off of a #2 defender that goes to the house also makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. The entire Central coast (Pac 7 & Los Padres league) is moving to the central section. Paso Robles, Atascadero, San Luis, Santa Maria..

Awesome, can't wait for some new faces! Lots of good football being played here (and bad ones) from the small towns to the bigger schools! Coaches in Texas, if you get fired, does it usually mean your whole staff is packing too or it depends?

I'm an assistant coach at a mid-sized (2200) school in California.
Monday and Tuesday I'll be doing something football related from about 3-6:30 plus about two hours a day doing something on hudl, drawing cards, scripts, etc. 11 hours Wednesday is the same amount of hours except we have evening practice. Another 5.5 hours. Thursday I might spend an hour or two watching film or entering data into hudl. Nothing after school. HC and DC finish the walk through before I can make it out there. This is what my wife knows as our family day. Before the kids it was date night LOL. 2 hours. Friday I might watch two hours of film at work then I'm enamored in something football related from 3-9. 8 hours. Saturday I try to get up rooster crowing early to grade our tape, enter in data and get my stuff prepped for Sunday. On a good Saturday (translation: I didn't "celebrate" or "drown my sorrows" after the game the night before) I can crank it out in 6 hours. Sunday we go from about 10-5ish (depending on the time of season and opponent). 8 hours.
It comes out to 41.5 hours for me.
This doesn't account for the days in which I throw in a movie for my class and sit at my desk and watch film for 6 periods. I don't do that all the time, but there are weeks in which I have to, typically 3 or 4 times per season. There are also Saturdays in which I take longer and Sundays in which we have to go longer.
My HC works slightly more hours. He has two periods of football during the school day, plus all the booster club and parent mumbo jumbo he has to deal with on top of managing coaches (not just the player). As screwed up as it sounds, and through no fault of his own, he actually works more hours and does less football stuff than most of the other coaches. Such is the life of a HC I suppose.

Saw this and got me thinking, how many of you guys here put in similar hours per week? How big is the disparity between HC and a position assistant coach? If yes, What state? Big or small HS? (Trying to see if it even matters) If no, What is your Role and how many hours do you think you put in per week? Example: Assistant - hours put in per week? Get back coach - 3 hours put in per week (yell at players to get back during friday night, etc) Bob is a machine, and a great coach.

In the winter and spring I put in about 55 to 60 hours a week and during the season about 90 to 95 hours a week. I spent 8 years at the HS level up north and we worked about the same number of hours. We are always trying to be efficient with our time, but the work must get done. To respond to your Texas comment, I moved to Texas about 10 years ago. There are great coaches everywhere. There are also bad coaches everywhere. The coach in the video is actually from Massachusetts I believe, and moved to Texas. The difference in Texas is support of programs and how they are valued. In Texas the facilities at the vast majority of places are top-notch. The programs have sustainable budgets that allow you to purchase a lot of new equipment every year. All coaches work in the building, and there are a lot of them. I am at a school of 700 right now and we have 13 football coaches. Nearly everyone has an athletic period with all of your kids, everyday. It isn't weight training, it is football and your entire team is in there. With all of his support comes a price. That price is job security. Every school expects to win. If you don't win you can be fired, and the new coach can often let coaches go if he has someone else he wants to bring in. Our contracts are dual contracts, so if we get non-renewed as a coach, we are on-renewed as a teacher. The game is the same, the kids are the same. There are great coaches everywhere and great programs everywhere. The big difference is support and importance within the school and community. There are schools up north that have that support, but down here that support is nearly everywhere. Yes, he read the book Friday night lights, when it first came out, sold his jeep, bought a motorcycle and drove to Texas, and started asking to volunteer.

Use to put in a ton of hours before hudl and all the new technology. As a dc at high school and head junior high 7-9, before, it was an easy 60+ besides the regular class day 2a school, Oklahoma
Oc at a 2a, hours were crazy if we had away junior high games, we lifted in the mornings 4 days a week in season. So day started at 6 and went to 5:30-6 if there wasn't a game. I should add, my head coach worked for Bob in Texas. So he spent about the same as him hours wise.
Position coach at 4a school high school and 7th grade coach, probably 30-35 depending on if it was away games and jv that week. Co-oc at same 4a, about the same
Went to be a junior high coach at a 7a school this year, Arkansas. Practice till 5, Coached 41 games, and was on the headsets for 10 more high school. We still traded film for 9th grade. So about 10-15 hours a weekend planning for that, and scout reports. Only a 3 man staff for 7-9.

Current varsity DC and JV HC.
One year (2009)...I was asked to calculate my hours.
And I learned something.
That I was killing myself.
I was putting in 50 hours a week of football. Besides my real duties of teaching, parenting, husbanding, etc.
I stopped coaching for 2 years. Now I'm back...and I don't do that.
The advent of better technology, etc. helped tremendously in getting almost the same amount done...in way less hours. Plus...I figured I'd just not do some of the stuff...because I was burning myself out.
PLUS - I try to do more in the offseason...to do less during the season.

I'm lucky, I have a great coaches wife, and when she became a a cheer coach for 3 years, she really got a feel of what goes on. Everyone at our school lifted all girls and all boys, so she was right there in the weight room to getting after the kids. Hell she knew and knows more about weight training then every girl coach we had, and half the coaches I meet. At my current school she would know more than everybody but me!

DC Mid level school in California
Saturday: Grade out previous game film, review with players. Breakdown upcoming opponent, which doesnt take long because I assign specific tasks to each position coach and tell them in the beginning, "You can watch the film for keys and tendencies all you want after you put in your information. But don't waste my time looking for things until your work is done!" Four coaches working, on four separate computers, specifically putting in a few pieces of info. We get a few games brokendown in under an hour. After that we meet, go over the tendencies and set up the gameplan for the week. All told Saturday is about 7 hours.
Sunday: After church, I look at there stuff in various ways, try to regroup to find any oddball tendencies and print up the scouting report. Probably 2 hours of actual work, but maybe a couple more just for fun to see things.
Monday-Wednesday: I don't count my time teaching (because thats separate) but practice is usually about 3 hours each day (including any chat time with coaches or parents). Add in weight room responsibilities (extra hour a day), and I may watch a little more film, but not too much (we already have everything installed). 14 hours total.
Thursday: Walk thru and team dinner, 2 hours.
Friday: Pregame, game, post game cleanup, etc. 7 hours.
32 Hours a week of football in season, they are efficient and effective. No keeping up with the joneses, no working for the sake of it.

I guess I just don't get it, but I don't know what the hell you're doing that could possibly take 90 hours to do. I have a feeling that after about 40-50 hours there becomes an inverse relationship. As time spent goes up, efficiency, effectiveness, and overall impact toward on field performance goes down.

I'm a DC. As a retired teacher the only things that I need to do other than football is mess around on the internet, cook dinner, and play Tetris. Here's a breakdown of my average week:
Saturday: Watch our film and opponent's film on HUDL, possible live scouting, begin scouting report/game plan. APP. 5 hours.
Sunday: Continue game plan, staff meeting (general program issues, watch our film, discuss game plans and watch opponents film (About 3 hours) Total: App, 6 hours.

I've also had a head coach tell the staff, if you can get everything we need done from home, stay home , just come help to laundry and clean Fieidhouse and leave. BUT your crap better be ready to go when we meet Sunday to finalize the game plan. Or it's your tail end.
On another note, where I am at now, there is so much wasted time, before practice, during practice, hell just during the day. It's like nothing I've ever been apart of. Myself and the other assistant have tried to get the header to change but he only does when he high school coaches come down and tell him to. For get the fact that myself and the assistant have high school head coaching and coordinator experience , and this guy doesn't, he won't listen. One reason why I'm looking to move on. Not what I was lead to believe it was. It's my fault for not investigating the job more.

I think things like these can have an impact on the answer for a lot of people. I've never been anywhere that we had to do laundry,or a lot of the other weekly maintenance and cleaning that others have mentioned. If you have to do things of this nature then your hours could go up a lot.

I'm not sure exactly how many hours I put in but it's more than 25. I know that because the nincompoops at the central office make non-faculty coaches fill out time sheets. We get paid an hourly rate up to our contract amount. I made the mistake once of filling the sheet in truthfully and they kicked it back saying that they couldn't pay me that much. It turned out that 25 is the magic number. Wait a minute, you get paid by the hour up to 25 hours per week? Where do I sign up???
