I'm with tiger46 here (support). He had a lot to articulate, if you have problems reading, I guess you can stick to 7 word responses. I'm sure you'll get a lot of information out of that....
With regards to "coaches ego", take a cue from coachd5085's post above on clarifying just what, in particular, is the source of irritation.
It takes all kinds.
And one should be determined if a coach is; + Just a straight up AHole + Just seeking a deeper understanding/galvanization + Just has a different/contrary view + Just is offering sales pitches (send), and has no intent to receive anything (more to do with'ego' of selfish pride/prove himself to others)
I'm sure I fit the bill of the top 3 about 90% of the time. Not right or wrong, but I happen to value friction more than comfort when dealing with 'answers'. Defending a view/idea can be extremely beneficial in developing your teaching/game plan (rather than gaining false confidence to be proven wrong on game night).
I am learning to NOT POST. You can have the best of intentions, and still be received as advesarial by folks seeking replies, and get no where (when contrary/non-affirming input will NOT be received).

While there is no question that head injuries/concussions are worthy of the attention they are receiving, it still appears to me that at every level of football the number of players who are sustaining those injuries represents a very small (possibly miniscule) percentage of the participants. i believe the supporting evidence of neurologists in these findings suggests otherwise. It doesn't take concussions to cause brain trauma.

Do you as coaches get your players pumped up and all hyped up before a game? Or do you hold your players accountable for that? to each his own, but I figure that if you need something to get you pumped up for a game, then I either didn't do my job properly during the week or there's just something wrong with you. (kids should be responsible for the rah rah crap) This is also an area where your leaders should be/feel empowered to commandeer

If they write this stuff down maximum 1-2 sentences and put this stuff in a folder, later on in the season they can see what they did to do get better at this. Using it as a reference tool or a reminder. I think that players need to be reminded that it's their accountability to perform to the maximum potential they have. good point. What about verbalizing step-by-step checkpoints pre,post snap...during a play...on the sideline....situation... So that through classical conditioning they learn how to correctly process and frame situations (this becomes a subconscious thing), where we train the "kid" or "dysfunctional family" out of them (negative self talk / focus on the series of small 'wins'/etc) so that it becomes the way they can see any situation (in or out of football)?

Thanks for the book recommendation.
Its an often overlooked facet of the game, and it truly is important.
However, isn't a big part of PHYSICAL training MENTAL?
The body will do whatever the mind tells it, and pushing the body to its limits requires mental toughness/conditioning (so it becomes a 2-for-1)

the one thing that strikes me with the expansion through northern and southern Europe and Japan, is how much more could be done save for the language barrier.....
What has been the experience of those in the know of overcoming this obstacle?
Secondly, I wondered about how non-Americans view this sport through the lens of 'real' footballers....meaning, if your native sport is (what we call) soccer and/or rugby, how does one see "Football" because of the ever-changing nature of THIS game. Noteably, that I don't imagine soccer/rugby have changed much in the past 80 years, whereas, 'football' is near unrecognizable as to what it was even 20 years ago (with all the rule changes).

I wasn't there, but I'm sure the Nashville clinic in 2010 looked just like it did in 2009, as it did in 2008....not much changes

a football afficianado could make a case for the versatile Y, ala Dallas Clark / Jeremey Shockey (though Dave Thomas gets more work).
One could explore how these two guys effect the game with matchups, run game, and horizontal/vertical passing.....
I'd like to get away from the WWE-style fandom (anyone not winning the game "sucks") and just appreciate a decent game with some good matchups.....meaning, there should be some good football to enjoy here.
New Orleans personnel groupings on offense should be something to look at as well (with 64 Strief as the U back)....using Bush as Z receiver / Shockey & D.Thomas .....Bush/Thomas/Hamilton/Bell(who is apparently not being used anymore)

I am not sure how the game ended 'without the ball in Favre's hands' is not true. The game DID end with Favre throwing an INT. Was he supposed to get a mulligan?
I would imagine the NFL's OT rules are so because they want to ensure finality, timeliness (on a Sunday evening-see TV influence), as well as the pressure to score points (NOW!) before regulation ends (because you know that you may not have a 'second wind/life' in OT).
Also, it isn't like points are automatic in the NFL OT. A team still has to drive 45-80 yards to get those points. Its not like they start in scoring position as in NCAA rules.
The changing of NFL OT talk is purely "timely" sports writer drivel that haven't looked at the data.

Football Outsiders analysis shows that the Saints took the game (as opposed to having it "given" to them). Here are their key reasons: Read the whole analysis here.

Sorry, Mr. Balboa, for diverting your post, but just adding some musings....
I was really floored at the sheer volume of offensive attempts from Minnesota (83?)...that is just staggering. And 6 fumbles? 2 INTs? We really should be asking why that didn't give their opponent 21 pts.
I was wondering why Favre was attempting to call a TO right after they called a TO (I actually thought they were out of TOs when he called it).
Great (exciting) game though.
One question - does it make anyone (as a coach) feel bad/uncomfortable/uneasy with the extremely subjective calls for hits/physical with offensive players? I don't know how you'd actually coach FOR that. Maybe like Alex Gibbs and charting the tendencies of officiating crews? Because I don't see how from a technique / coaching standpoint you can avoid the petty roughing / personal foul calls as they result in the fraction of a second...... [Btw - I get this feeling whenever a RTP is called no matter his playing)
Sorry for the long rant

Saints 34 - Colts 24
I really hope New Orleans gets back to their quick game and [fast] screens against the Colts, which was surprisingly absent against the Vikings. Though they scored (with Bush) on the Snag, they usually work the beejesus out of Stick and Spacing early in games. When they do - Brees really carves up underneath defenders (effortlessly).
I have to say, I have about lost all faith in the NFL as a sport entity with rule enforcements this season. I am having difficulty understanding / recognizing the subjectiveness of DPI / RTP penalties or even their relevance/legitimacy. Sure, you can make these calls, but I'm disheartened at how realisitic the threshold for calling them is (touching a QB's helmet / making contact with QB while he is throwing / a DB going for the ball near a receiver / etc)

don't overvalue the PROJECTION ('sales pitch') pathway.
Most overlooked step of communication - "shut up and listen".
Be able to hear what/where the other person is thinking/feeling/understanding. More and more I'm finding that this has become an extraordinary skill, not common.

The other thing to factor in is M-F athletic period and/or coaches schedules.
If you have no classes to teach and are at the field house all day.....what the *#@+ do you need to blow so much time on the weekend for?
