I just took over as a head coach and that is pretty much what I talked to the team about the first time. The only item I added was about where we were going for summer football camp and how much that would cost.

Coach, the one thing you may want add is how you will beat the teams biggest rival! Be passionate about it when you describe how you will do it and you get the players believing in you right off the hop!

also, homecoming game is a big thing for most h.s.
no one should ever lose their homecoming game.
i mean at the schools i have been at it is a big deal.
parades down mainstreet, alsorts of contests for the kids, big pep rally.
I do think you have to make the rival game improtant.
many times you can have a bad season but if you beat the rival, it goes along way.

Tog, it means that I may have a great opportunity. Will know more by the end of the week.
How much do you tell the kids about your background so they understand your the guy for the job without making it sound like your up in front of the team blowing your own horn?

First of all, congratulations to longtime Miami and USC assistant Ed Orgeron on landing the head coaching position at Mississippi. Despite the weirdness of what you are about to read, Shtick! actually predicts lots of success for Ole Miss in the near future. Now, here's what we found from a poster on an Ole Miss football message board ....
I read this story about coach Orgeron on the Ole Miss Spirit and thought some of you might like it. Apparently, Coach Orgeron called his first team meeting the other day. I was told that in about a 15 minute period, he cussed and yelled more than most men do in their entire lives. He came in to the locker room to his new team and stood there staring at his team.
He started to talk in his strong Cajun accent and immediately began yelling at his new team that this 4-7 s**t isn't going to cut it. He talked about how the last game he coached was the national championship and screamed that it was a g*d d**n embarrassment to win anything less than 10 games. He went on yelling about how he recruited Leinart and Bush and that that he didn't come to Ole Miss to have a g*d d**n losing seasons or even to go to this bull s**t Cotton Bowl and get g*d d**n thirteenth place. Thirteenth place is bull s**t and he came here to win.
He said that his team was going to play defense and hit hard. G*d d****t his team was going to play with g*d d***n passion and they were going to whip some a***s. He then passed a box around the room and said he wanted every g*d d**n earring in the room in the box. He isn't going to have any f*****g p***y girls on his team and wanted every piece of bull s**t earring in that box right now.
With the team stunned faced with about as opposite a person as one could have to Cutcliffe, Coach O started to walk towards the door. He looked back at the team as they passed around the box and said, "I'm going to walk out of here right now, and when I come back in here, I'm going to have my shirt off, and I want everyone of you motherf*****s to have your shirts off too." He walked out and everyone, confused, started taking their shirts off. Sure enough, O walked back in, bigger than alot of the guys on the team, without his shirt on. He started yelling and telling the team that they needed to get loud. He said, "When I point to this side of the room, I want you to say 'Ole Miss.' When I point to this side, I want you to say, 'Wild Boys.'" Standing there with no shirt on with every guy in the room shirtless, started pointing to each side of the room. Half the team would yell, "Ole Miss" while the other would yell "Wild Boys." Apparently it got pretty crazy and guys started flipping chairs, yelling, and throwing cooler across the room while chanting Ole Miss... Wild Boys.
He then stopped and said, "One more thing. If any of you motherf*****s thinks you can take me, you come up here and get a piece of me right now." He gave everyone an opportunity to come up and fight him and said, "That's what I thought," and walked out of the room.
In another story, Lane was out passing with another player, and Coach O apparently ran up to him, tackled him, stripped the ball, and took off running down the field."

moose18,
great story, but I don't think that would fly at the high school level. I truly do believe you need to go into the meeting with passion and let the kids see how excited you are. I can't remember what coach I heard say this phrase from the NFL network, but he said, "you need to play like your hair is on fire". I guess that is kinda the same approach you must take in the first meeting.
