An addendum to the the "D-bag coaches" thread. Does this make me a d-bag? - Up by 3 scores in the 2nd quarter, putting in our second team. Opponent leaves starters in, scores, then on-side kicks. Put our starters back in on offense and score again. Repeat for the remainder of the game.
- Run Counter 11 times in a row at the same 3-tech who is gassed but the opponent won't sub out. He ends plays outside the opposite tackle after getting double-teamed.
- Refusing to get mad at an opponent (or our player) who keeps running power at our worst DL. Parents go ballistic because the kid can't step down and take on the lead blocker.
- Turning on speed metal in the weight room even though you don't have any desire to lift weights.
Well? How big a douchebag are you? |

1- No, but I would probably build the lead a little bigger instead of the back and forth
2- No, running at their worst player is just good ball. Although once you got the game locked up I'd probably try to get other's work
3- See #2
4- I dont really care for speed metal, but thats just a matter of taste, coach has the right to play whatever he wants (within reason) in the weight room.
I say 0 for 4

I don’t know if #3 makes you a DB but it doesn’t seem like very good coaching. In #2 you were smart enough to run plays to the kid on their team that couldn’t get the job done then on #3 you refuse to take one of your kids out who also can’t execute. I don’t love the idea of letting a kid make the same mistake repeatedly without intervention of some sort.

And I have no clue what speed metal is so can’t comment on that one. But if it’s a bunch of dudes screaming while wearing panty hose and makeup then I can’t get on board.

1st one is borderline
2nd and 3rd i would actually advocate for
4th should be standard practice.

I don't think any of these are unreasonable. In the first situation your described, you put starters back in during the second quarter because your JV wasn't getting the job done. A three score lead can go away in a hurry if you're JJV is getting their butts kicked. In fact, we make a standard practice to leave our starters in until the middle of the third quarter or the start of the fourth quarter if we're up big. The varsity kids still need reps and we don't want to run into the situation that you did.
We'll keep attacking the same DL over and over again if they're not getting the job done. Now, it'd be a different story if you were up big in the fourth quarter, left your starters in and were tossing the ball up against a weak CB. Some coaches will disagree with me on that but we had a coach do that to us a few years ago and it was infuriating. Our 5'6'', 150lb CB had gotten smoked by their 6'1'', 180lb WR all night long. The opposing HC/OC not only left the start in the game, but would motion and shift that WR to make sure he was in the same vicinity as our CB.
Who you play if your call: not the parents. Yeah, the kid was getting his butt kicked but they can take the clipboard if they'd like. We've also been in that situation and subbing the kid's back up in would have had even worse results.
I don't care for most death metal but we'll put it on if the kids want to listen to it and the lyrics are appropriate.

They'd probably be doing that in the recording studio, but hopefully no one is like that in the weight room. If there's one thing this thread has taught me, it's behavior like that is frowned upon. |

Well? How big a douchebag are you? 1st point: I would keep my starters in and get a 4 score lead if that is what I needed to feel comfortable to send out or back ups. Or just wait until the 4th quarter. I play the players that will benefit the team on the field and will put in the depth players once the victory is secured. So I guess I am a D-bag 2nd point: "run it until they stop it" of course this will change once the game is all but over, but if you can't stop my Counter, then why would I call something else? 3rd point: well, I'd make an adjustment by changing up the look or do something about it. No reason to get upset with the opponent. (I might have misunderstood this point, could use some clarification) 4th point: are we talking Sonata Arctica, Children of Bodom or maybe even Dragonforce when we are speaking of speed metal? I'd play it all, but my players just makes fun of me for it.  I am a D-bag coach, and will probably always be, as long as I treat my staff and players the right way I can live with that "burden" |

Absolutely not. Especially not considering it was the second quarter. At a bare minimum we will play our starters until halftime, usually a drive or two in the third quarter even when we're up big. We had a big rival's HC get real pissed at us for throwing the ball on 3rd and long (completed for a TD) when we were up 17 in the third quarter last year... But for us it was a respect thing - if we give them the ball back and they chuck it deep to their All State receiver all of a sudden we're only up 9-10 and they have the momentum with a quarter and a half left to play. I think it all has to do with the feel of the game, and guys who get butt hurt over giving up another score before the game is truly in hand are the ones who are "DBs". |

I figure as long as they're actively trying to win as opposed to giving backups reps, it's my job to get the boys to put boots to necks. |

If you're going to kick onside after our scrubs give up a TD then we're gonna try to score on you. If they call off their dogs (put in subs, kick it back to us, punt, whatever) then we'll try to end the game as quickly as possible and start kneeling as early as we can. This year our end-of-game RB liked to fumble so we were always happy to just kneel. |
