sleep turned into schedule question

I get about 3-4 hrs of sleep a night during the season and off season. I go to bed about 4-5am and get up between 7:30am and 8:00am. I spend 95 percent of my time learning football, 3 percent with family, 5 percent on school.(OK maybe i need to spend more time on school)

Tog can you break down in more detail what a typical week is like. would be very interested.

varsity oc
work with jv some, but generally during practice I am working with the qb's and backs while the jv is on offense

thursday, the hc, dc and i work out the varsity with our special teams/situational practice, then hightail it over to the jv game to coach the kids

we let the jv coaches do the playcalling, we are just there to help with the kids on things

Coach what time do you practice to? If you meet after practice for a short time and you get your weekly planning done on Sunday why the late nights at school 9pm? Good stuff coach!

Bryan

I thought so. This is a tough business and you have to take your rest when you get it. How, exactly, are you helping the program by going to the JV game?

really?

sorry couldn't help myself



i thnk the weekly schedule is pretty standard across texas, uil mandates how long you can work with the kids so everyone is about the same during the week.

my point of contention with most coaches is the concept of working smarter not harder. we worked 9-1 or 2 and saturdays and 2 to about 5 on sunday.

for me it comes down to a simpilcity on offense. here is what we do, here is what you do and neither one is going to change. ultimately it comes down to execution and the oc finding the things that are working and hammering those until the dc changes. then you find what works now and the cycle repeats.

when i have been place where we worked twice as long it was because we weren't very good and we tried to change things every week, which is why we weren't very good imo.

i also think defense needs and does work longer, they have more stuff to figure out imo.

just my observations, please commence rock throwing!

How much of this (IYO) needs to be done together?
How much could realistically be done individually at home?
With the exception of the players involvment, I would imagine the other coaches could take copies of the game / opponent home and grade (their unit) and come up with a game plan concept by the time you meet at the next session (Sunday night)
(cuts at least 3 - 4 hours right there).

How much has technology aided you in making these assignments easier?

depends on the technology available
this past season we were vcr all the way no computer stuff
found it went faster than at previous place with computer breakdown

this was my schedule more than it was everyone elses
i prefer to just stay and use the good vcr and cowboys at school to get a better pic

i don't really care as long as the job gets done
hell
when looking at houses this last time wife and i found one with a film room, i was (hey, this would be awesome to come and get film work done in with a staf) alas, house cost too much

personally i like would like to all get done together on sat about 1 or 2

then meet up sunday to go over for about 2 hours
then just get all the scripts and schedule stuff ready to go

another big reason to do it together is for the younger coaches on staff to learn
if that isn't that big an issue

just get it done

the older/wiser? i get
the more i fall into the work smarter category

when i was younger i would make sure i was the first one there and the last one to leave year round

still am that way
but not to just do it

Have ran into this myself.. worktime becomes BS time.. story time.. eating time.. not that I mind all that.. but more work gets done when I am at my computer at my house doing what I need to do..

I work at UPS from 3ish to 9ish every Mon-Fri. I try to get a couple hours sleep after that. Usually get up about 12:00-1:00 depending on what time I finally got to sleep and what I needed to do that day.

We start practice at 2:00. The school is about 30 seconds from my house so if it weren't for the Indy 500 going on out here I could probably run/walk to school.

We try to get off the field by 5:00. Usually we don't. I've got class at 6 so I had to cut out early a few times, which sucked. We normally do team D (we play both ways) last so I was just running the scout offense and we've got several guys doing that.

I've got class from 6-9 on Tue, Wed., and Thur. Except for Thursday nights I usually got out pretty early. I normally got home between 8 and 9. Eat something, watch film, maybe watch some TV with the girlfriend. Get to bed about 11 and do it all over again.
