I think the main thing that applies here is that you are coaching the scout teams up. Once the the week starts the coach that is in charge of the scout team should have a meeting the with scout guys both offensively and defensively to get them doing the correct things. If you're just holding up cards expecting them to look at a picture for 5 seconds and then give you a good look, that is never going to happen.

Eight coach staff: 1 guy is the special team coordinator, he is in charge of the schematics. Everyone but the QB coach has a job during special teams. Each week we have two special team circuits with various drills. 7 different stations going on during those time, each coach has a drill. Players only go to two of the stations for their various skills.
Each position on the various special team is then divided up among they coaches, (maybe only 3-4 coaches per special team) and they are responisible to coach up their positions during those periods, generally their positions tie into the drills they run during the ciurcuits.

I am currently coaching in the NAIA and teaching at a local high school. I'd make more money coaching for the HS that I teach at. I make about $100 a month and last week I figured I worked about 42 hours at the college. I think most of the coordinators in our conference make about 30-35,000 and teach a couple of classes. I am not sure how much our other assistant/GA type coaches get, I know they get housing, a meal plan, and some cash but I don't think its much.

Its amazing to me that a coach of Tubberville's level would be pulling this crap. You bring in the 'guru' of the airraid and demand him to run something else. How arrogant is Tubberville? Franklin won a bowl game with 9 days of prep with his offense. He has proven it will work. Turn it loose, or let Franklin go. From the outside it looks the the AD or some boosters didn't like Franklin having success at in state Troy, so they brought him on for name recognition. Now its going to get real ugly.
Franklin wasn't hired to run 'Auburn's offense'.

Dave, I didn't say it was comparable from top to bottom did I? I said the top NAIA schools would compete with most of D2, not the top D2 schools. I know very well how bad some of the Nebraska NAIA schools are. Sioux Falls, Carroll, and Saint Francis, you don't think they'd win some games with D2 schools?

I am coaching at a perrenial top 10 NAIA school, I guarentee our top guys would be able to compete at the D2 level. However, I am sure our number 2 guys would probably not do so well against division 2 type players. We have a number of guys who returned home from D1AA schools or D2 schools.
I do agree that some of the bottom schools in our conference are really bad. However, I'd take my chances with the top 5 schools in the NAIA competing against most of D2. I know the top schools would probably destroy us. There is some really good football in NAIA, just not very deep.

Here is how simple we are on the small college level, we yell in the number. Kids look at the wrist that has motion, shift, formation, and play; it even has the snap count on it. We also use a system where we will yell in the formation and then a number our first numbers are just general run plays such as zone, or power. Not very complex.

I like what they are doing. They are still keeping their schemes simple, just using the formations and motions to give something Cal to look at.
They are doing a lot of the same stuff that I have been playing around with on paper. I haven't been able to see them play yet this year but I love it.

Isn't this just a different view of the 20/80 principal or the Pareto Principal in John Maxwell's leadership books.
Myself and another assistant went through our roster last week and identified the top 20% of our players. Our thought process is that we are going to concentrate on coaching those kids up. We know we can't ignore the other 80% of our kids, but we know our greatest return is going to be from those top kids.

When I was the OC at my last job we numbered our holes evens right and odds left. Now that I am at the college level we do number our plays but the the numbers really don't give a specific landmark.

I kicked a kid off my baseball team this past summer, he actually only lives two houses away from me, made things kind of interesting while out in the yard. Fact is he was a sophomore who I brought up to pitch on the varsity, very immature kid but he hasn't lost a game on the varsity level as a 9th and 10th grader. He skipped practice and lied about it, I confronted him and told him I knew he wasn't where he said he was. He continued to lie, so I told him he was done with varsity. I made him sit a couple of JV games also. We'll see if he grows up at all, but I got my point across.
I have a hard time playing a kid and trusting him on the field when he will flat out lie to you. I'd rather have someone else represent the school and myself.

If you can find any gamefilms, Nebraska does this sort of shifting every week. The thing that I'd like know would be the verbage behind it.
Does anyone have any terminology behind any of the shifts that they run or anything close.

I'll throw this out there since we're talking Nebraska. There O-coordinator, Jay Norvell, was talking after the Missouri game, that their main point to their shifting that week was because Missouri was such a high percentage man team. When Nebraska shifted Missouri they would automatically check into zone coverage to prevent the mismatches.
Over the last couple of years I've seen a couple of different approaches to Nebraska's shifts. Oklahoma chased them all over the field and flipped personel, while Texas barely moved and kinda just waited for Nebraska to get the shifting all done.

Nebraska does a lot of elaborate shifting each week. My question as both a season ticket holder and a coach, is if they never run plays from there beginning set, will the defense ever respect the initial alignment? A lot of times the initial formation is so bizarre the defense automatically expects the shift, and with any scouting you can predict how they are going to finish.
Don't get me wrong me I love to shift, and we'll move around especially when the defense flops personel to the strength.
Don't you need to be able to run plays out of the initial formation for the defense to respect it? Or does that not matter.

I am planning on interviewing for head coachign position in a school district that is opening a new high school. It will be in the largest classification in the state. I am in the process of putting together a program manual, or what I see as the vision of the program.
I am wondering what those of you who have started a program from scractch have done or what you wish you would have done differently.

I need to learn more about Linebacker play and zone blocking.
I don't like to learn by studying playbooks. I like looking at playbooks for ideas.
I enjoy watching the tapes I get from FCPGA. I am a four tape member and its more than worth it. Some weeks I get almost 8 hours of tape. I feel that I can cover a lot of ground in a hurry both on schemes and techniques.

I think you can be successfull and not practice the situations constantly but I do believe it helps. This was my first year as part of a staff that every team period we had all week had some situation tied into it. It might be more beneficial for the coaches and they put together the game plan for the week than the players. I do believe it helps the players stay focused instead of just pounding on the scout team.
Some of the situations used in our team periods are: 1st down, goal is four yards each play. 2nd down, goal is to get half the distance. Third down, pick up the first down. Coming out. Goaline. Red Zone. No-Huddle. Two Minute. 4 Minute. And Blitz Pick Up period where the starting defense runs everything they have to try and get pressure.

I would think a blocking scheme for the linemen would constitute one run play. It doesn't concern them who is getting the ball, and in my opinion backfield patterns are much easier to learn than blocking schemes.
As far as route concepts go I would think again one concept counts as a play. The quarterback read should be the same with the tag empasizing a particular route.
The college I am coaching at right now keeps it this simple: Runs Inside Zone Outside Zone Counter Power Fly
3 step Hitch Slant Fade Out Short
5 step Hunt Dig Smash 4 Verts Double Post All those with various tags
Screens Tunnel Now Flow Bubble Slip

In our district each the only money the school district gives to athletics is the coaches salaries. Each program is responsible to raise money to pay for busing, referees, equipment, and any equipment. In fact in most sports the district doesn't pay for very many coaches.
For example I am the head baseball coach and they pay for one assistant. Well that assistant is the JV head coach and they play an entirely separate schedule than us. So if I want an assistant coach for the varsity we have to fundraise to pay his salary, same if I want a JV assistant. Now if we want a freshmen team again that entire program would have to be funded by our fundraising. In reality the school district only gives us a piece of ground to play on, the rest is up to us.
