We lost, 34-7. Finished the year 0-10. We rushed for 285 yds threw for 175. We fumbled twice on the opponents goal line, and for the second time this year we scored a td that was called back because of an inadvertent whistle ( We run the Pistol option). We started with 55 we ended with 55. I am so proud of these kids. Today I started 9 Freshmen and sophomores on the varsity level. They have all bought into the program, we lift, we do plyo's we have pasta dinners all together and every kid stayed academically eligible. I apologize if you coaches read this and think I am making excuses, walk a mile in my shoes. Next year, I write about the county championship

That's an amazing win for Lindy! I grew up on LI and played in the same division with Lindy, Floyd, Sachem etc... in the early 90's. It's great too see that football is alive an well! My parents are still down there and my father still follows the scores. He sent me up the copy of the article on Floyd in the pre-season. Great job Lindy! I never thought I would say that.

Going in tomorrow against our cross town rival. We are now 0-9 and I am starting all 9th and 10th graders on the Varsity level. We have been preaching that both teams in this game are always 0-0. The rivalry goes back almost 80 years. we had a great week a practice and ended tonight with the "Burning of the Shoe" A great end of the year ceremony. I will keep you posted

8 total 4 paid by district. We split the JV salary and then we give them a "gift" at the end of the year that makes up the difference

I completely understand what you mean with the tears of joy. I have 55 kids and 50 of them are coming back. They hit the weights twice a week during the season and will go 4 times a week in the off-season. We do plyometrics speed training and anyone who does not play basketball or wrestle is going to join the swim team. During the off season or what we tell the kids. The part of the season when there aren't any games played. We are 0-7 at this point with 3 left. I am starting only 1 senior right now and 2 juniors. The rest are 9th and 10th graders. I love the guys on my team. The effort that they give is insurmountable. They have no idea what their record is. They act like they are undefeated. I still love going to practice, and watching them get better. We were down 22-0 at half last Friday night and my boy's came out of the locker room like they were up 22-0. As I am sure you all do We coach our a** off every day. Every aspect of the game, How to put on the uniform everything. The young kids have committed to one another, and they believe in us. Because we believe in them. They can see what happened to this Senior and Junior class, 7 out of 55 with no wins. I hope that it's just a matter of time

Just joined the flexbone association about 1 month ago. It is a great site. It has helped our own offense Pistol Flexbone out tremendously. Great place to learn the offense.

We lost again last night. We played an undefeated team. We played our butts off. I sat down a senior who was playing fullback for us after the 1st quarter (option team) and replaced him with a sophomore, what a difference. The kids on the bus ride back were all talking about getting back to work on Monday. How next year we beat that team etc... I have read all of your replies and I appreciate all your help. We have remained upbeat after every play regardless of how it is tearing us up inside and it really has helped the moral of the kids.

I am a new head coach, I took over the program this past season with a lot of expectations but with not much talent. The team had only won 10 games in 5 years and only 3 games previously to that in 10 years. We have about 55 players in the program and 44 of them are Freshman and sophomores. Everyone tells me to stay the course because we will be alright. The problem is that our JV is also 0-5 and losing because of the same reasons. Inability to tackle, no speed etc... I got into a bit with my staff that we need to change and they all disagreed. They put it squarely on the kids. We are starting 3 Freshman and 4 Sophomores on Varsity. Has anyone been through this. There is a real possibility that we will go 0-10. We just past the "easy" part of our schedule . I feel that we are doing everything right outside of the lines in building the program. Instituted an in-season/out season strength program, study halls, pasta dinners etc... Any help or suggestions? The program really needs that first win for the future.

I just completed a Lift-A-Thon. We only had 28 players attend because of Spring sports but we raised about $3500. It was very simple. I gave them 2 weeks after the actual day to hand in all of there sponsor donations. Not a lot of work at all for the coaches and the kids really enjoyed it. It was the first time we ever did it and we will continue to in the future.

Any advice for a new HC on practice schedules and times. In my state we are allowed 3 conditioning days with out pads just helmets before we begin our "Double Sessions" What are the best times to get these practice times in. My whole staff is in my HS with the exception of two coaches who are at the middle school. We are a Pistol option team as well as an aggressive 4-3 defense. My concern like everyone else, is that there is not enough time in the day. What are the best times to go?

I am planning on putting the Pistol in this up coming season. We were an Air-Raid type team for the past couple of years because we had big-arm QB's and speed on the outside. Now we have a big RB and young (sophomore) athletic QB. Very weak up front and very young everywhere. Am I crazy for thinking the Pistol will work. I want to run the ball but spread everyone out. I love the Pistol because my RB will be going down hill. I have done a lot of research on this and alot of you guys have helped me out. If I run more option out of the Pistol will it give me an advantage? The team has been very unsuccessful for years. I am hoping to turn that around. HELP!!!
