What percentage of your plays went Big, Med, Small, No Gain? We were 20%, 30%, 26%, 25% according to hudl. What are your definitions of Big, Med, Small? Are they pre-set by Hudl? Adjustable?

In response to those who commented on my previous post, it is sad that a traditional urban school setting must be treated like a prison; however I know of rural schools that have the same type of set-up or system in place. We have 4 versions of an Alternative school (4 buildings on 1 campus (with students assigned to a building and teaching staff, depending on the nature of their breaking of the Code of Conduct and how many times), depending on the infractions and/or disabilities that a student guilty of severe infraction, where a student gets assigned in the worst cases.
Clear or mesh backpacks are mandated, but some of the coaches ordered heavy-duty non-transparent book bags for their athletes, and we have to take everything out and completely search it all.
BTW, on any given day we may have 4, 8, or up to 16 law enforcement officers in the bldg on duty.
Is that why you write in such large font? hahahahahaha Literal LOL here.

There was an post on Coachhuey (or maybe not - ha) that compared the efficiency and ypc of power, counter, zone, and stretch in the NFL. It could have been a NextGen stats article or NFL pre-game video or something like that. Or a tweet, whatever.
Anyways, I have searched CoachHuey and the internet and can't find it. If anyone can post a link of that or something similar, I would appreciate it.

Like, do you not have enough self awareness to realize you're an {censored}? I mean, after how many times of this happening do you realize this? As Raylan Givens said- "If you run into an {censored} in the morning, you ran into an {censored}. If you run into {censored} all day, you're the {censored}." Don't disagree. But I think he did exercise some self-awareness in this case. The week before he survived a board vote and kept his job with the football team parents and players rallying behind him. Then he stepped down on his own this week. If nothing else, he deserves some self-awareness credit here. Didn't say credit. Some self-awareness credit.

The Ivy schools have largely implemented systems of need-based aid. Tuition is on a pretty generous sliding scale, and for many students, zeros out tuition, books, and I think even housing. It's available to any student that's accepted, which is why it doesn't get counted as athletic aid. What many of them do have, however, are restrictions on how many students they can get into the school to play sports. And from what I understand based on a brief interaction with one of their coaches who was recruiting one of our kids, there are a few different tiers of kids they can "get in" with lesser qualifications than the general student population. Something like two kids that might not quite have 4.0s and a full load of AP/IB/Running start classes. But there might be some variance in admissions policies. This

Is the funding for all or just a handful of relative studs? I am not entirely sure. If you dig into how the Ivy's work it allegedly is all need based funding only. I have a player at Dartmouth. He choose between that and the service academies. I don't think he is paying anything.

One word of warning with Hudl. The game standard game time is 3 hours. So if the game starts at 7pm and game goes past 10 (storm delay, etc.), it will have stopped recording by 10. Make sure to adjust that.

Pixelot is slightly worse than Hudl focus. It is more the extra step needed to upload to Hudl. I hate getting film from either Hudl or Pixelot that has 30 to 40 minutes of clip filler. Take the time to delete the nonsense before, during and after the game. Some times I feel like I am the only person in our conference that does this. We are considering going with Focus next season. I was under the impression that it will upload all of the clips automatically? Is there something I’m missing? Hudl Focus is great. It will automatically upload. Yo can even film practice with it and it will be uploaded by the time you come in from practice. You can even film practice with it if you practice on the game field. The picture quality and AI is light years ahead of Pixellot.

Hmm, the only Pixellot I've heard of are the automated cameras (motion sensored) that schools use to stream their games so that people can watch the game remotely (usually at a cost). From what I know, it's purely film. Unless there's a layer of Pixellot that I am unaware of, I hope they use another program (Hudl, Gamestrat, etc.) to break down film. IRRC, they can send you clips after the game. But the quality is bad and sometimes those cameras are all over the place.

Morning. Headed to a new program. They use pixellot for their game film system. Never used it. I've only used Hudl.Anyone have experience with it? Pros, cons, anything? Does it allow you to run reports and other features like Hudl? If you can afford it, get Hudl Focus. VASTLY superior that Pixellot. DO NOT use or rely on Pixellot for game film. It is fine (and just that - fine/ok) for broadcast for Grandmom 10 states away to watch baby grandson play. A 14 year old with Hudl on his iphone standing on the top row of the stands on the 50 yard line will give you better game film after 2 minutes of training.

Yes, I think it absolutely makes a difference. And, it creates a spectrum of advantages, depending on the team your playing. Some DCs will be smart and make small adjustments to their base in order to defend you. That's still an advantage as they might only have to install Robber 2 to deal with you but that's still an investment in practice time. And, it's moving them and their kids out of their comfort zones. Other DCs will go full-grab bag and install something completely alien to the kids in 2-3 days. This is obviously a huge advantage, for a variety of reasons. full scale triple option changes this imho if they don't understand, they are screwed I agree. Unless they just play blocks and fit gaps.

I’m not real sure what you’re complaining about? I don't know man, I pretty much spelled it out word for word and didn't beat around the bush haha But, to rehash: Ironman said: "you'd have to be good at coaching different for it to make e difference, no? Being different doesn't work without knowledge of the scheme and how to communicate it. I know guys that run single wing as a 'package' but sucked at teaching it which means it didn't work. But Darlington has made it work everywhere" Basically, that says Darlington is better at coaching the single wing than some other guys, that's not a controversial take. Pretty self-explanatory and evident, right? So then my question, and yes complaint is, if that's not a controversial take and is evident, why then do people (including on here before as well as other places) get their underwear in a knot and always gotta argue when someone says "Hey so and so is better at coaching this and knows better than some other people on this", or someone says "Hey this is a better way of doing it than this other way", I've literally seen people, including ON THIS BOARD, try to say that there are no better-than-other ways, and basically that all methods, tactics, techniques, schemes, etc are all created equal. I'm sorry man but it just annoys the fk out of me. I certainly have never gotten that impression on this board. Of course some coaches are better than other coaches.

Lets discuss this hypothetical..... Is it better to be different at something you only know the basics of? Something that is new to you that you are willing to learn, but are not an "expert" at like the single wing or shotgun double wing. or Run something you know the ins and outs of really well, but you do not have the players to beat alot of the teams that you have to play because they are simply better than you? Like a generic 10/11 personnel offense. I'll go with option 1.

Yes. I think it does.
It is not as important as athletes, coaching, having answers within your scheme, and your athletes being able to execute the said different schemes. But being different, especially when the rest of your league is very similar, does make a difference.

25-30 footballs out at practice?? WOW!! We would usually have a dozen, maybe 14 in the bag, but only need that many for specialty period. My advice would be to just take 18 out at practice, leave 6 as just game balls, and now you still have 6 as replacements for practice and games if needed. Yeh. We take that many out when we run our joint practices or big try outs. Otherwise it’s probably 15-18. However we have cut this down to a few due to them constantly being ruined by rain. Is this a problem you find yourself No. Not really. After they get wet, take them inside and put by a fan overnight along with the ball bag. They should be dry for sure in the morning. The next morning, take a wet towel and rub them down a little, that really helps. Then make sure to have a ball brush and some ball conditioner/wax. I like this stuff the best: biggameusa.com/shop/accessories/football-prep-cond/big-game-ball-wax?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw2a6wBhCVARIsABPeH1tm33wdLAQT5faXjXKOhm7FYw_0c4hwI9dE27hUGWr2AbBvKLw667oaArZGEALw_wcBOur qb's are in charge of the footballs.

We have gone back to the early 20th Century and the era of the "tramp athlete," when kids jumped from school to school, often played Semi-Pro under assumed names, and there were no eligibility rules other than what each school chose to enforce (or not). Which was the genesis for the formation of the NCAA. What a great point!! Totally forgot about reading about that.

Shoot! After the recent court decisions everything is wide open on the portal!!
I have close ties to the UA program, and I was miserable all last season with this guy. I kept defending him initially (that he was young and had some learning and catching-up to do for SEC Football) and to give him some time. It quickly changed for me: Let's get another player helping him out on that corner with blocking; let's run play-action passes and not drop back so much; let's practice footwork more each week with him; if he is the only left-side offensive tackle qualified to play then we need to recruit more offensive linemen!!
I was happy that he was going to Iowa, because he showed maybe 01% of improvement all last season.
When I saw this on the news last night, my only comment was: I hope the new regime has some system that he can function in at offensive tackle, or he has greatly improved his skill-set in the off-season, or they are moving him to defense. I coached against him in HS. I thought he was a better DL than OL. His physical tools are tremendous, but it was clear he wasn't a skilled OL. Just gifted. Love how you describe that. Wasn’t skilled. Just gifted.

Keep in mind that for almost the eternity of college football, a coach could do exactly this as well. True. But the coach also wasn't attending college to get his degree. It was his job. And I know, I know, college students can transfer at will also to get their degree. The questions is this, do we want rules or not? This no rules thing is not going to work out well in my opinion. Like I said, let's just trade teams midseason, or why not at half, or why not just each possession trade teams? All-time QBs are a thing in backyard football. Also, I am not against players getting paid NIL. But let's back up a second and remember what NIL is. It is Name, Image, Likeness. Only 0.1% are getting paid for that. The rest are just getting paid to play sports. Again, fine (not really, but ok), but if you are just getting paid to play, can we at least have contracts? Lastly, I am for the players getting their scholarship, food, housing, gear, goodies, and even a stipend. I also am good with them getting actual NIL deals. (Sorry the 2nd team LG is not helping sell anything). I am not good with them getting paid with zero contracts or restrictions or transparency.

Varsity.
Also, move your JV games to Mondays so that the kid can play both unless you state rules prohibit something like that. Alabama just requires 48 hours between the two games, so most every school play JV on Monday (maybe some Tuesday).

I know technology changes but when did kids stop wearing cowboy collar, forearm pads, jockstraps /cups? Heck, nowadays showering after practices is not common from what I have heard, many shower rooms are now storage for old gear haha. At least I never got to experience salt tablets!
Went to a poorer school so we wore what we got and it was outdated but still worked but now it seems most programs and preferences have shifted. Also couldn't imagine getting into my mom's van back then without showering. Axe and heavy sweat is a WMD!
Any other similar shifts y'all have seen? Would imagine the longer one has coached the more changes you've seen.
I think better tackling techniques have contributed especially keeping the head out of it and head behind on tackles instead of head in front. Also, get a Kerr collar if they need stinger protection. Forearm pads went away when you could start using hands on offense. Jockstraps went away with compression short and compression girdles. Showering went away but is now back. Of course this is different by team. Salt tablets are alive and well. The last three schools and last 15 years we have heavily used salt tablets. And we rarely cramp. I truly believe that cramping is more of a function of electrolyte imbalance that it is a lack of water. In fact, too much water helps create that imbalance. Kids nowadays stay mostly hydrated and still cramp. Add in the salt tablets and that can vastly improve. Play in Alabama where it is hot and humid. Axe went away around 10 years ago at the schools I coach. THANK THE GOOD LORD.

Hold on. Just realized that everyone might using this thing wrong in the videos. You might should have to tackle it by straddling through one of the bags on the ground instead of tackling through the open space which just encourages leaving your feet.. This could actually force you into a better position and then force you to drive your legs.
Maybe my mind is playing tricks on me though. Would need to see a video of players tackling like I am talking about.
