The only possible way I could see this working in terms of scheduling is if you had an extended qualifying period for olympic play, maybe a season's worth of games, since at a minimum you'd need 4-5 days to recover from a football game. I think if you spent a good deal of time working up to an 8 team playoff in the Olympics, it would be doable.
Maybe 12 minute quarters to lessen the wear and tear on the players.
I really like the idea of an independent tournament, separate from the Olympics, since the time frame is so short.

I've heard of a service that does this, I think it's called Krossover. I don't know what else they do besides basic statistical breakdowns like D/D and run/pass etc. Basically stuff that doesn't require a lot of football knowledge.

I apologize if this thread has been created and discussed somewhere else, but I was reading Finding the Winning Edge this afternoon, specifically the section on substance abuse on the team, and it got me thinking. This is mostly aimed at coaches in those states that recently legalized recreational marijuana use.
1. What new issues have you experienced, if any, with regards to the new laws? Have you seen higher or lower instances of usage among your players?
2. What have you done about it?
3. Any other thoughts or ideas you have about the situation?
I think we are seeing a dramatic shift in the way Americans think of marijuana, since I've seen a couple of polls that have people split at 50/50 and one even with the legalization crowd ahead by a few points. Whether or not you agree with it is irrelevant, I'm not trying to start a political discussion here, but I do think it's important to realize that this issue isn't going away, and that the tide is headed toward decriminalization and legalization. I think coaches could treat it similar to alcohol. Just because alcohol is legal doesn't mean I want my players showing up to practice drunk.
Anyway, those are my thoughts, but what are yours? Interested in all opinions here.

We were in a similar situation about 5-6 years ago at the program I was coaching at.
I like "Leave No Doubt" as a theme.

I've talked to non-coaching high school teachers who feel the same way, they don't want to live in their school's district because of being seen out at a bar or just caught off guard in general. And then like one of them said, there's always the possibility that if you give a kid an F, you could wake up with your tires slashed the next morning if he/she knows where you live. IMO it makes everything a lot easier to avoid as many needless problems as possible, but it also depends on the community. Some places look differently on a coach who goes to the bars than others.

I have worked several camps over the last few years, and have nothing but positive things to say about it. Coach Dullaghan brings an incredible amount of passion and enthusiasm to the camp every single day, and the kids always get a lot of quality instruction. It also helps that in Indiana, the summer rules here are very lax at the high school level, and we are allowed to wear pads.

When I was coaching in HS, our OC had his buddy, a former DC who he worked with at another school, help us gameplan on Sundays, and was on the headset in the box on Friday nights. He never did any coaching of players. I don't think any of our assistants took it as a slap in the face, he was a guy who really knew his stuff, and we were glad to have him along with us that season. (We ended up making it to the State Semi-Finals that year before losing to the eventual state champions)
I personally don't see anything unethical about doing it, especially in high school where there are generally no restrictions on coaches. As far as the college game goes, like someone else said, it's just using your resources. It's a totally different matter altogether if you bring in another guy who is an on-the-field coach, but having someone you respect look at some film is just good coaching, and getting another perspective.

As a rule, we never EVER throw away opponent film. I know that when we want to see how an opponent will line up to a certain formation, and we can't find it on the current year's film, we'll go back the past few seasons to find it.
It's my hope that thousands of years from now, when archeologists dig up my office, they'll be able to find out exactly how we lined up against 12 personnel trips on every 3rd and 5 in the past decade.

In my experience, you just have to find guys (not necessarily who work at the college level) who have access to that stuff and trade. I've had good experiences trading with coaches who have emailed me about certain things they are looking for and vice versa. For the record, I don't give out our own film, but have plenty of other NCAA and NFL film in my library that I trade.
(I know I'm not supposed to advertise trades on this forum so I'll cut it short)

I guess it depends on whether you're at the collegiate or HS level.
One thing we've done is worked with the sports management professors here to allow people to get practicum hours while filming practices and games. If you're coaching at the HS level but you have a college nearby, you may want to see if you could work something like that out with the faculty.
It may be worth it to try and "borrow" filmers from other sports as well. Find out who films basketball, soccer, etc, and see if they'd be interested in helping you out.

Why not? Most of the coaches on our staff go to several of the home games, and some even regularly work the games.
Its a great way to show support for the rest of the athletic department. At our school we encourage our kids to play as many sports as possible, and its worked out great.
Plus, I realize that it's weird as a football coach, but I actually enjoy watching basketball!
