Am I the only person who has really soured on the experience of coaching Twitter? It could be and should be such an amazing tool for growth, discussion, sharing-finding-implementing new ideas, drills or scheme, and empowering each other as coaches.
However, to me it has turned into:
1. an ego fest nightmare of guru snake oil salesman coaches looking to push their most recent “book” “system” or “newest innovative idea”
2. a place where people flock to look for as many likes and retweets as possible
3. an increasing and alarming trend of group think where individuals push the idea that there is only 1 way to do things anymore and only 1 way the game should be played (the most tilting and newest aspect is the increasing number of individuals who appear to think there’s only 1 way offensive football should be played because that’s the "safest" way football can be played – as if you can’t do other things outside of this group think and still stress player safety or care about player safety).
It’s gotten so that individuals that I once really loved and enjoyed to follow because I felt like they brought a wealth of new information I just don’t enjoy following anymore for a variety of reasons. And I'm reluctant to engage in any sort of conversation or discussion because if you don't follow the group think then you're some terrible coach out to harm his players.
Just the other day I saw an OL coach share an unpadded offseason drill that I thought was actually a pretty decent drill that made me think hmm that could be useful for us – first comment I saw was another coach flaming him for the things that were wrong with the drill because the athletes head was slightly forward (as a result that coach clearly doesn't care about athlete safety) and the athlete wasn’t driving off the midfoot. And as predicted the group thinkers joined the party quickly. How can any individual grow in that instance? Or why would they feel comfortable in sharing ideas and having discussions about what they do if they are just going to get flamed instantaneously?
We’ve all seen the guys post vidoes of their athletes doing cringe worthy things in the weight room. I’ve only ever seen comments and retweets criticizing the coach and athlete I’ve rarely see comments of “coach if you stress this or change this or give the athlete this que you might see an improvement here in this regard.” It must just be so that it’s easier to criticize and tear down as opposed to share in an effort to improve.
My biggest pet peeves are the group think of new age avant-garde OL guys who act as though all of a sudden they have developed the only safe way to play offensive football. That their offensive lineman or athletes never ever experience any incidental helmet contact because they have developed the superior technique and no other drills, ways, ideas are meaningful, useful, or worthy of being considered.
That their athletes are capable of perfectly executing this new era “safe technique” on every snap of a game therefore eliminating risk for their athletes and as a result making them the most superior of superior coaches to ever grace the game of football with their being and as a result we should all be so thankful that they are willing to engage with the rest of us minions.
IDK it just seems that coaching twitter has run its course for me and resulted in me engaging less and less these days as a result for all of the above reasons. And no I'm not a grumpy old man get off my lawn type. I'm 29 years old.

I am glad I don't have any social media. I guess Huey is considered social media, but I don't have the big ones. I got off when I was on facebook one day and realized I hadn't read one page out of a real book in over a month.
To me social media is such a drain. There's definitely a great deal of good information out there but it's such a balancing act to extract it without having the negative aspects rub off.

I get what you’re saying. I tend to just swipe past the noise. There are a few groups like the OLP guys. Some of the Holler guys can be like that at times.
A couple of years ago you could start seeing the trend towards people trying to become Twitter famous. I can’t really knock people for making a brand for themselves. It does drive me a little nuts the followers of some people. Past some clips or tweets people are holding some guys to a pretty high regard.
Right now for me the benefits outway the other things. I think you bring up some great points.

But I hate - I mean I really really loath group think. I hear you. And the truth is, (and again this is coming from someone who values his product) a lot of this stuff has been around quite awhile in other forms. I see a lot of Jim McNally carry over. Probably my biggest gripe, and I admit this might be due to the limiting factor of actually having a conversation on twitter, some of these guys act like there are two options: 1) option one = cave man style lead with your head 2) option 2 = their way. When in reality, many OL coaches have been trying to protect the head for many years in many systems i.e. veer option, wing t...etc. The final straw for me was when a high school coach stated he had coached in all of those systems so he knew what he was talking about. I was curious so I checked his age, and he was something like 23 or 24. I'm think, man you've coached in all of those systems at age 24? Damn. |

There’s one account on Twitter that is constantly calling schemes out dated and criticizing calls. He posted on here once arguing with a member, was corrected- didn’t reply on here, he took to Twitter to tweet about the guy. I’m not a fan of that. Especially when the coach he was arguing with has forgot more football than this guy knows. |

Follow the right guys and don’t follow the fame seekers. There is one guy, that I don’t follow but always gets retweeted on my feed, I can’t stand. He put on some bro science one time and when corrected some 15 year old kid came to his defense. He proceeded to take that as validation for his terrible post. Twitter is a cesspool in some regards but it can be a good learning tool |

How about reporters who discover Twitter and are now defending programs that cheat or get pissy when people don't like their story, etc. Same thing in my opinion. Be a reporter. Not a Twitter "expert" on everything. BTW - follow me @coachinggripes because...well...because it's kind of what is happening here.  |

I think the best thing to do is engage in some of the chats, like #hogchat and I think there was a #lbrchat. Then follow and engage with some of the coaches who participated. Mostly good dudes who love to learn. I did un-follow some of the cats I used to follow for football because of some off the wall political rants. I just don't want that crap when I am following a coach.

Yeah the guys that irk me on there are the ones who spew out NFL and NCAA playbooks and video. I understand you've done tons of research and are good with video editing but have you ever called that stuff in a real game? Some of that stuff isn't even useful at the high school level. Again as someone said earlier it's an attention getter. You want to impress me show me what you did to win the district championship not how Saban runs his dime blitzes.

A. The OLP guys are getting hard to handle, not the actual guys but their acolytes on twitter who seem like good dues outside of OLP, it's like they have decided we went to a clinic and now are going to use fancy terms to make you look stupid because your OL hit their head against another helmet cause their mid foot drive wasn't activating their abductor to strike with functional power driven through torque created by acceleration of a catch drive posture.
B. The playbook guys who watch a tv angle of the game where you can see 1 DB and LB in the shot and post what coverage it was 2 seconds later or the guy who sees the ball in the air and has the concept figured out and posted then you find out they are taking a year off from coaching errrrr nobody wants a smart ass know it all on their staff so they have coached 5 places in a 4 year career.
And yeah that dude taking a shot at a respected and helpful member was total BS, not sure that guy even coaches.
So yeah you aren't the only one....

That said, in the last year or so it seems there is more bickering on twitter than in the past. Guys will always post their ideas (right or wrong) but it just seems like now there are more people openly disagreeing with them. I feel like in the past you'd just ignore someone and move along with your day... but now the thing to do is to respond Millennials |

twitter world has created a bunch of guys who can rattle off 70 ways to play quarters but they can't coach one of them, throw them out there to some trash cans and 4 teenagers they'd stomp around pounding a monster energy drink and say "okay brah you are MOD on #2 unless he intro's the valcitrator" then they'd stomp off again and pound another monster with the kids wondering wth is going on, then when they blow the coverage it's "brah I just don't have the chess pieces I need brah"
that's okay though, hardly effective but at least harmless, the culture stuff is alarming to me. Too many guys fancying themselves the saviors of mankind, a guy with that big of a hero complex can justify anything. (I swear I wasn't doing anything wrong just changing that young ladies culture in the backseat of my Plymouth)

Duece I’ve posted a couple of all-22 videos before, but not like what most people do. I’m not looking for some cool facemelter super Counter double reverse pass triple move variation that Oklahoma ran or some minute situational blitz Saban checks to vs. 11 personnel trips in the fourth quarter on his 35. I’ve posted two clips and they’re both from Iowa (most innovative offense in CFB right?) and took notice of outstanding hinge block technique and asked a RTP/McKie/Joe Daniel if they pull the BSG on power pass with a clip of Iowa doing so. Hope I’m not part of the problem lol 😂 I legitimately do not care about some super variation of a coverage that you think you might’ve seen Clemson run. I’m looking for basic, fundamental things that can be applied to my rural high school football program of 44 players that are mostly 2-3 sport athletes |

It's just weird, like Ted Bundy kinda weird, but hey none of my business and who cares what I think I really did a half way job of putting up Christmas lights this year and according to coach twitter "how you do anything is how you do everything" so I guess I'm worthless |

I know a guy who told me he is a "Twitter Coach". What the actual F is that?
And he wasn't joking.

I wonder how many people forget that the guys in the CFB all-22 are kids and what they think is some super variation of something is just as likely to be a mental mistake..
I gave up on watching defensive all-22 as well. There are so many variants and different pattern-reading coverage and pass rush games nowadays that it’s literally impossible to tell what’s what anymore without having a very up-to-date playbook.
Defensive back coaching on Twitter is an echo chamber of idiots as well. They are just as bad as the OLP guys. If you’re not running 70 different types of quarters, then you’re living in the dark ages, bro! Prepare to be shredded!!
My worst fear is that Coaching Twitter will drive Huey into extinction (or maybe it already has?). I have learned three times as much football from Huey, Deuce’s blogs, OJW, Brophy, coacharnold, and Lochness than I have ever learned from twitter. The people on this website make this place great.
Coach Huey > Twitter all day
