Coaching is important, don't get me wrong, but at the end of the day it is about the kids you have. AMEN!

One more addition from my feeble mind. It is not about the "what" as much as it is the "how". You better understand both and be able to convey the latter to your players.

my eyes hurt...I guess a few nerves were piledriven in this thread...Wow!
I ran small school offense(less than 150) starting 2 programs from scratch.
I started in Double Wing and gradually spread it out, without abandoning any part of what was best for the kids year in and year out. Point being, you better be constantly prepared to adapt to more variables then you can possibly imagine at that level. I had a rationale for everything I did, and added it progressively as best I could.
I like to think of scheme development at this level, the same way I do about passing - CONCEPTS. Not for the kids, but for my development of the scheme. There are concepts in scheme development at the lower level that seem to draw answers from more than 1 source.
Being pretty creative I was able to tie it all together into a system that has a great deal of flexibility, but didn't lose the kids. Not worried about the kids multi-tasking in offenses, they couldn't tell a sprint option from an Iso. We just kept the blocking very vanilla up front, and got creative with those overly intelligent, but undersized skinny kids.
I thought I knew a lot, but ended up coaching a lot, and I certainly learned a lot...that is all I know about that.

Did I read that right? or am I reading that wrong?
In 3 seasons, threw over 150 passes? Would that be 150 passes per season or a total of 150 passes in 3 seasons combined?
That was over three seasons, not 150 each season. Sorry, I see that how I wrote that was not clear.
