The TWO best pieces of coaching advice I've received are:
"It's never as good as it seems... It's never as bad as it seems... but somewhere in between, reality lies."
and
"Don't be a people pleaser, because you can't please everyone. Take care of your 1.Kids 2.Staff 3. Program 10. Parents/Fans"

Has anyone else had issues with losing the wingnuts on the Speed Flex Helmets? I understand that they need to be tightened regularly, and we do that, but I've lost 3 wingnuts in 8 weeks. I ordered a replacement pack that included 4 of them and some other parts (for $20).

I never made wholesale changes, especially on defense. I almost always rotated some starters (or veteran 2's) along with some subs. I didn't want the subs to feel like they were on an island by themselves. A veteran players gives them some security and can help them when needed. I was always careful about doing the same thing with my o-line. I didn't want the backup QB to get murdered because a reserve lineman didn't know his assignment (this could happen on any given play, understood). If it was possible, I always tried to sub without the team on the field looking like subs. We do the same, with the exception of putting in JV when the game is completely out of hand. We rotate starters in small groups, by position. (new LG & RT and RB for a series), making sure that #2's get reps w/ #1's. That's not the issue. The issue is "we feel like we've worked hard enough to say in a game into the late 3rd/early 4th quarter because we've earned the right to continue playing"

Do you have seniors who don't start or play who want to go in? We had this situation before. We get them in first before jv guys because they can't ever play in a game unless it is a blowout. Yes, we sub throughout the 1st-2nd quarter to establish depth, and then we sub in SR's and Jr's 3rd team guys before I go to Fresh/SOph guys. It's the #1's that feel like they're getting cheated out of playing time because our first couple opponents aren't very good and its like 50-0 at halftime.

When you are on the winning side of things and there is nothing left to prove (I'm talking 40-50+ lead by halftime)...
When do decide to go to nothing but 2's and 3's?
How do you deal with seniors that feel that are 'entitled' to play more in these types of games because they've earned it?
