know somebody, volunteer and hang on, or get extremely lucky once you get in it's a war of attrition, you have to hang around longer than the guys around you, eventually they will start families or just get sick of the grind and start to wash out, attach yourself to an up and coming assistant coach that will take you with them when they get coordinator and head coaching jobs, once you attach yourself to a guy hope like hell that they don't mess up by losing a lot or pissing off the wrong people or regularly using an escort service for players and yourself under a fake name and they are right about the recruiting aspect, the few guys that I know that have "made it" in college fb tell me some scary stories about the X's and O's that get thrown around the office sometimes, and the higher the level the worse it gets. Don't get me wrong, the coordinators and most assistants are usually squared away, but apparently every staff has a few guys on it that are there because they have a great eye for talent and know how to sell kids be prepared to throw a few bits of integrity out the window, the higher the level the more your going to have to look the other way or blatantly participate in some less than above board practices, particularly in recruiting, not necessarily out and out rule breaking like you might see on TV, more along the lines of misleading young and impressionable kids here's a conversation I overheard in the car with a guy who was talking to a kid that was committed elsewhere but they were hoping to flip "hey what's up reg this is coach ______ over at ______ how are you?" "oh uh...good coach how are you?" "hey man I"m great look I heard you committed over to ________ and just wanted to say good luck to you and we're so sorry you didn't want to come on over here with us" "yeah it just seemed like a good deal and stuff" "okay well hey reg let me ask you something have they pulled your transcript over there yet?" "uh...sir?" "dang reg everybody is pulling transcripts for all of their commits, we did all of ours last week" "say what?.....I don't know?" "well hey reg are you sure that you are committed over there? I mean I heard they had maybe signed too many guys and were going to have to back off on some kids...hopefully you aren't one of them man" "oh man well I better call coach _______ and find out" "reg...coach ________ will tell you that it's all good even if it's not, they'll keep you on the hook even if they plan on dropping you in case somebody else backs out......the fact that they haven't pulled your transcript doesn't look good at all" "oh chit coach....what do I do?" "tell ya what reg...why don't you go ahead and come take a visit with us....check us out and we'll hold our offer for you, that's how bad we want you, if you like the visit and they still haven't pulled your transcript let's get you signed here guaranteed and you won't have to worry about not having anywhere to play next year" "uh okay, yes sir" when dude hung up I was flabbergasted..... I said "hey man is pulling transcripts a real thing?" "nope" "how often do you do that" "eh...few kids a year maybe" "how often does it work?" "...you'd be surprised" Thats the junk right there I cant stand. I was on a staff a few years back with a bunch of former college and nfl coaches. They were mostly just passing through and coaching their sons; theyd always say, "hey you should come coach college with us." I'd tell them how I just couldnt pull all that BS as a recruiter, how I didn't like being a snake-in-the-grass salesman. They kept trying to tell me how it wasnt that bad, but every story I read like this makes me glad to not be there. the pressure gets to 'em....they go in as good guys thinking they'd never treat a kid like that, but then the desire to win and move up the ranks overtakes 'em I mean you figure if your working at a place in FCS as an assistant you're making 55-70k and working your a$$ off, you catch one break and make it to the big show you are tripling your income, getting onto the big time coordinator head coach train is like a lottery ticket just sitting out there, not to mention all the guys telling you it's no big deal, everybody does it, if we want to compete we have to do etc

Thank you RunThePistol for the details. That was helpful. If you've been coaching high school for 10+ years, how do you demonstrate that you have recruiting skills? Also, what is the best way for a high school coach to break into the college ranks? know somebody, volunteer and hang on, or get extremely lucky once you get in it's a war of attrition, you have to hang around longer than the guys around you, eventually they will start families or just get sick of the grind and start to wash out, attach yourself to an up and coming assistant coach that will take you with them when they get coordinator and head coaching jobs, once you attach yourself to a guy hope like hell that they don't mess up by losing a lot or pissing off the wrong people or regularly using an escort service for players and yourself under a fake name and they are right about the recruiting aspect, the few guys that I know that have "made it" in college fb tell me some scary stories about the X's and O's that get thrown around the office sometimes, and the higher the level the worse it gets.

you better be a hell of a ball coach or a MMA fighter on the weekends to pull this off, I kinda love it honestly, I mean who wouldn't want to hang out with mom on a hot summer day, got a bad feeling this dude's future wife is going to have some serious hills to climb "I thought maybe today you could tell your mom that I'm going to bring the sandwich" "........but.....but...mom does that Becca" The level of not caring what people thought from this guy must have been astounding 😂😂😂 yeah I love people who don't GAF had a kid in my class like 3 years ago who was this long haired kid that always wore AC/DC or Iron Maiden shirts....so the first time I cut them loose to work on something he says "can we listen to our music?" and I say yes...again this is 3 years ago kid pulls out from his backpack a straight up sony discman and a case logic full of CD's......pop's in an Alice n' Chains CD and puts the headphone on.......kid was awesome I asked if he had a smart phone and he said his parents bought him one but he just leaves it at home because he doesn't see the point, like's the sound of the CD's better and already has them so why buy the music over again, had a girl in there middle of the year told him he should get snapchat so she could add him....he deadpans to her "no, but I think your're cute we can hang out if you want"....they started dating immediately....just an all around savage

I coached for a guy - he was a single guy in his late 30's - whose mom would bring him a big hoagie and a giant mason jar full of sweet tea everyday during summer practices. He'd sit in the shade with his mom, pounding his sandwich, while the rest of us coached. When he was done he'd rejoin practice still drinking from his mason jar. He was a heck of a coach but everybody thought he was nuts. you better be a hell of a ball coach or a MMA fighter on the weekends to pull this off, I kinda love it honestly, I mean who wouldn't want to hang out with mom on a hot summer day, got a bad feeling this dude's future wife is going to have some serious hills to climb "I thought maybe today you could tell your mom that I'm going to bring the sandwich" "........but.....but...mom does that Becca"

I can see why the original poster doesn't like it though, it's not something you can put your finger on but it just seems flippant, like when you have a class rule that you can't flip bottles, so a kid start rolling it around the desk, and when you ask him to stop he says "what? what?...you said we can't flip it didn't say anything about not rolling it"......that kind of thing..I've never met this pear-eater and likely won't but I can tell ya right now I'm not a fan, besides who just eats a pear in the first place? It's not exactly in the upper echelon of hand held fruits, a good granny smith apple or a banana does the job just fine, feels like the pear is just being over the top, like "not only am I going to eat at practice, I'm going to eat this way too juicy fruit where the stem breaks off really easily"

One time a coach brought a bottle of Mountain Dew out to practice. I think he even took a drink out of it while his players ran to get water during a break. did he coach in an X-treme way after that?

flexbone takes about 10 minutes to eat , in the middle of practice, could eat on the walk to practice field or drive over but waits till on the field. I like the power of the pear! fired then it's about the attitude of your team...if you're flex bone the only things coaches can eat on the field is raw organ meat or Red Man chew, go ahead and eat pears if you want to be the kind of team that punts on 4th and 1

like drinking a coffee during practice,just not something I think is professional. I could see a visor guy doing something like this....one of those guys that stands on the sidelines most of the practice and is upset that that the HC doesn't listen to any of his ideas...eats his pear and talks way to familiar with the kids...."for sure bro if I was calling the plays we'd be feeding you that rock" but you said long time assistant which means that this is a guy who has been around and knows the deal, maybe he's frustrated with the direction of the program and its a protest pear.....either way this is a big issue that definitely needs to get sorted out...I never seen a guy drink coffee at practice either but that would be weird too....I think if he wears a tank top and does all of this you gotta fire him for cause

hahahahahahahahahahaha.....how long does he eat the pear? like for an hour or just real quick? does he coach while eating the pear or just hang out and eat the pear and then coach? Are ya'll a spread team or split back veer? Too many variables, I suppose there is a flippancy about it, like "I'm going to just eat this here pear because I'm not that into the job" or maybe he coaches his ass off through the power of pear.......I need more details

I remember one year some parents got mad at the head coach over playing time and started a petition to get him fired, something like 40 seniors signed it
I pulled a couple aside that I were the more mature type (I thought) and asked why they had signed "oh uh...I dunno...just kinda...all the other guys had signed it so I felt like he must have done something really bad" "did you think he needs to be fired" "oh...oh no not really I just signed it" "okay so you have no personal reason to want him fired you just signed it because somebody said sign it?" ".....yeah I guess so"

I imagine all cases are different, especially in college. USC fired Lane Kiffin in the airport terminal after a game. NFL probably has more of a procedure that must be followed. I just recently heard the story about how Kiffin got into coaching, it's worth looking up but I'll paraphrase so kiffen is a 5th year senior qb at fresno but it's clear that david carr is going to become the starter going into the season, so one afternoon they gear up for a full pads practice and lane comes out in shorts and t-shirt, so the qb coach asks him what the hell he thinks he's doing and he says "why should I go full pads when our just going to give David all my reps anyway?" so he gets kicked out of practice........apparently his dad (longtime NFL coach Monte Kiffen) calls up to the university to get the whole thing sorted out. Next practice Kiffen has a clipboard and is the assistant wide receivers coach

Haven't read all the responses here, but this is what should be expected when we get kids rolling in January and they can't enjoy being teenagers. it's practice man, there's way to freaking much of it I'd love to hear about somebody who maybe makes the playoffs and then just goes into Gagliardi mode with the team and comes out in shorts and t-shirts just running through team for an hour the rest of the year, I bet you could gain a serious advantage doing that, I'm not a sports scientist but after 11-12 weeks of this stuff I figure the guy who can tackle can tackle and the guys who can't probably aren't about to learn all of the sudden. Let's get the game plan in, rep the plays against the looks and gtfo. Problem with that is, as soon as you lose your playoff game the rail riders and daddy ball coaches in the stands will be showing their behind all over the community talking about how "the boys got beat 'cuz they jus' ain't got no toughness! and coach ain't even got 'em hittin' in practice, ooh boy in my day we did bullntharang every dang wednesday and whooooweee we wuz tuff!"

I'm not against the practice itself, just the motivation behind it, I don't like coaches using their influence over kids as props for their own ego stroke, coaches who choose not to do this (like me and other cool dudes like me) are now taking heat from parents like "why don't we support the band like coach _______ over at _________ high school" to which we would like to respond with "ma'am coach ___________ over there at that high school is a complete psychopath that probably irons his socks and cranks off to guns n ammo magazine" and I stand by my statement that it's insulting to the band kids, to think that they need the football team to show up to validate them somehow, band kids love being and band and could really give a rats ass if they are supported by the football team or not the most vivid example of how dumb the practice is, is that every twitter warrior coach that is sending out these photos of their team at the band competition has the team wearing their jerseys.....it's not about supporting the band, it's about visibly supporting the band so everybody knows you are doing it hence the ego stroke hence I don't like it if ya'll are good with it then please ignore and continue rowing the boat and coming up with acronyms ok so what it comes down to is that whatever coach posted it wherever you are at.. you don't like anyways (you're fine with the practice itself, just not the coach who tweeted it).. so it made you upset then when a parent questioned it... it just fed into it. yes that's exactly what happened

Ive never really thought of a public show of support as dumb or insulting.. I also never felt like the people who do this make me look bad. Apparently you've taken it personally this time. Also I would hate to promote community in the school.. would be a real shame I'm not against the practice itself, just the motivation behind it, I don't like coaches using their influence over kids as props for their own ego stroke, coaches who choose not to do this (like me and other cool dudes like me) are now taking heat from parents like "why don't we support the band like coach _______ over at _________ high school" to which we would like to respond with "ma'am coach ___________ over there at that high school is a complete psychopath that probably irons his socks and cranks off to guns n ammo magazine" and I stand by my statement that it's insulting to the band kids, to think that they need the football team to show up to validate them somehow, band kids love being and band and could really give a rats ass if they are supported by the football team or not the most vivid example of how dumb the practice is, is that every twitter warrior coach that is sending out these photos of their team at the band competition has the team wearing their jerseys.....it's not about supporting the band, it's about visibly supporting the band so everybody knows you are doing it hence the ego stroke hence I don't like it if ya'll are good with it then please ignore and continue rowing the boat and coming up with acronyms

stop doing it you're making us all look bad and it's insulting to the band kids, the only people who like this are dumb people/self righteous band parents/and AD's looking for twitter fodder
dumb people - "ooh look at that there, those boys out supportin' the band same as the band supports them errrrr'
false: The football players are coerced into going, which is insulting to the band kids and the hard work that they put in, as if they needed justification of their value by having the mighty football team show up, also, at a friday night football game the band is not there to support the team, they are part of the experience, if they weren't performing at the game, odds are good that none of them would bother to go
self righteous band parents: "we are going to make sure that our kids feel special too"
false: as I said before, this is incredibly insulting to your kids, "hey sally, me and a bunch of the other moms raised a big stink publicly and now they are making the football team come to your band competition...does that make you feel good?"...."no?".."well it definitely makes me feel good because I get to feel like I took those cocky football people down a peg!"
twitter fodder AD's - you guys are all going to put on a jersey and take a picture of us at the band competition so that I can tweet about it and promote myself for when I go 3-7 next year or start looking for another job, also I am a believer, husband, father, uncle, 3rd cousin, leader of men, platoon commander of the bulldogs #squad up, #GATA
*footnote I"m not saying that something like this isn't a cool thing to do...it is if it happened organically...if a bunch of football kids said "hey man the band is awesome and they are fun to listen to and they are our friends....let's go to their competition!"...that would be really cool and probably great for both sets of kids
forcing your football kids to do it so you can placate some angry parents or make yourself look good has nothing to do with kids and is dumb please stop

the common trap that some guys fall into is being a defensive guy as HC and deciding to take over offense when it is struggling I've seen it happen a few times, HC starts spending all his time in the offensive meeting room drawing up plays that he has had a hard time defending in the past, but not taking into account the ability of the players and whether or not those plays fit into the overall offensive philosophy, the whole thing can deteriorate to the point where you don't really have an offense, just a bunch of plays. Defensive guys who take over offense end up disjointed, offensive guys who take over defense end up in the 3-3 stack

Maybe that's the difference in your practices vs your classroom....I wouldn't know. Is that the difference between Saban's? or Dabo's? or Bellichik's? or Bryant's? or Lombardi's? or Meyer's? or whichever successful coach you want to name. But the post you replied to was only referring to profanity. I am asking a legit question. You said that if you ran your classes like your practice it would be successful, and your practices like your classroom you would fail. I am asking what the difference is between the two with regards to profanity? I don't disagree with your assessment. I would say that I find it terribly ironic (and I am equally guilty I am sure) that 99.9% of coaches teach on the field/meeting room with more preparation, passion, intensity and care --for the measely stipend pay-- than they do in the academic setting for which they are paid a great deal more. Also completely agree with your observation about the title of the thread. The rule definitely seems to be a bit out of line. I would suspect that most people alive has something that they are passionate about outside of their day job, which is how I look at my teaching gig, regardless of how much it pays. Coaching for the thrills and teaching for the bills. I understand a lot of high horse cowboys love to crap on this mindset, but I don't see how it makes me any different from any number of other professionals I don't tell my insurance agent..."Dave, if you put as much passion into setting up this policy as you do fishing then you would be so much better" hobbies are more fun than our jobs, sometimes when you're fired up and having fun you use a no-no word......earth shattering

We had a policy at one school were a kid had to remain eligible for at least two grading periods in the school year or he would not be allowed to play the following year, it was a strictly a football policy. The object was to keep kids from doing the bare minimum the first grading period to stay eligible for football, and then just nosedive the rest of the year...it was a really good kinda undercover way to get rid of turds we didn't want anyway, if they were good kids that genuinely struggled we would help em out and make sure they would make it, but there were a couple of complete a-holes that we were able to get rid of that way and their parents couldn't say boo about it

We have this theory that our kids think since they are the best here, they are the best everywhere. Many wonder why they aren't getting D-1 looks, etc. They don't even know what a D-1 player looks like, other then IMO, it ain't them. ya we get that a lot too...especially from parents...we are like 99.9% Caucasian and our parents want to know why Bama doesn't come to recruit

I have a meeting later today with a player and I'm going to go ahead and tell you how it's going to go I will tell him that he's not playing much right now because we don't feel he's one of the best 11 he will list off names of guys that he believes himself to be better than we will agree to disagree....and he might quit
kid was the starting in the spring and at the start of camp, despite being severely undersized and slow, because he had (past tense) a good work ethic and on the lower levels had a knack for being where he's supposed to be and finding a way to get to the ball (oslb)
In our spring meeting, he was told that he would get a chance to compete for a starting job, and he should be proud of that given his physical limitations, he looked at me like he had no idea what I was talking about "physical limitations", dude is 5'4 with a matching 40 time
any rate, he spends all summer "playing baseball" which he's also not that good at (JV as a junior) but claims that's how he's going to get "his ride" and shows up to two-a-days with a beer gut and cankles.......he holds on to the starting spot until after the 1st game when he misses several tackles that he's not even in the vicinity of...honestly I think the few tackles he got were a result of the ball carrier not expecting it to take as long as it did for him to get there, so he juked early......I'm serious about that
short story longer.....it's been 3 more games and he's only played mop up time, today he wants to meet and I'm thinking he might hang it up
how are these kids so powerfully self deluded? In the game the other night we scored to go up by a comfortable margin and I told him he could go next series and he gave me a lip smack and an "it's about time" look...the one that drives me up the wall
thing is...there's a kid or two like him every year......a guy who feels like he needs to be out there despite mounds of evidence to the contrary, problem is, he's on a few special teams and provides some depth for us so I'd really rather he not quit, but I don't know what to tell him that will make him stay, outside of saying "you're going to play more" which is a lie because we are about to get into the buzzsaw of our schedule and he won't be able to catch any of the dudes we are about to line up against

that's a tough one...."were were good in middle school" has gotten many a man fired, when the townsfolk tell you "this group is the most talented we've ever had" and they bomb as freshman, get outta dodge, but they won't ever believe that they just aren't good, it will be your fault not to mention the middle school coaches will probably be in the stands with the daddies talking about how they had ol' jerry at runninback and linebacker instead of defensive tackle and him was biiiig and ran haaarrd Don't forget the Pee Wee coach that won back-to-back championships with them... Funny, I've never met a pee wee coach that lost a game I love that this is the same everywhere 5 schools for me, 5 texas towns, and every kid won the "superbowl" in pee-wee unrelated to football but still funny, I'm an assistant wrestling coach which is at best a 4th or 5th tier sport here, so every time we get a move-in kid from wrasslin' country (aka the north) the kid's dad was a state champion wrestler in high school. I mean it's an unbelievable percentage of northern state champions who end up moving to texas for some reason, and weirdly the dads really don't look all that athletic and the kids are slugs...go figure

I've been on some really good ones and it makes the job way better and coming to work a joy. The one I'm on now is not so great, the male ego, while being a driving force behind the advancement of human civilization, can be a PITA when it comes to football staffs. We are at a place where the kids are awesome and most seasons you will be competitive-good, most of the coaches are from here, they ain't leaving, and all of them pretty much feel like they should be coordinators....so issues arise, it's a shame too, they are good guys individually, but they have broken up into little factions like we're on an a season of survivor or something. oh well

my new one that I love to hate is "how you do anything is how you do everything" I hate it for many reasons, most importantly that it is just completely absurd. I mean really? everything? so when it's 10:00pm after a long day and dishes need done you go over every surface of each dish with a toothbrush and then map out the perfect dishwasher layout so that each piece gets maximum coverage from the water jets and steam? ...or maybe you are like me and you spray some water on those mofo's and chuck em in there any whichaway that will fit and go on about your life. the whole quote reminds me of the type of people who obsessively iron their underwear and practice having human conversations in the mirror, those dudes end up with dead bodies buried in the back yard....regular people are lazy sometimes and make mistakes why can't we just act like regular guys and let players know it's okay to act like regular guys too my position coach in high school was an old guy that had coached 40 years...we had a saturday practice toward the tail end of two a days in the blazing sun...coach gathers us up and says "look...it's freaking hot and none of us feel like being here doing these same freaking drills over again...but here we are so I'll try to overcome it and coach ya'll and you guys try and get some good reps as we go and after a while we'll be done and we can drag our carcasses home" not the kind of speech that they put into movies or that make a coach look like an ultimate leader....... but we had a good practice and we all loved that coach for never acting like a douche and giving us a bunch of stupid cliches like "how you do anything is how you do everything"...and as I got older and wanted advice about something he was the guy that I would call yeah yeah yeah I'm a cynical jerk and I need to read a book by flip flipping flippen or some other self help con man to change my perspective and grab the bullhorns of purpose driven life thank you Something about Zach Smith, the anti process, White house pics and amazon purchases yeah what a mess and that whole thing wouldn't have looked so badly on ol' coach meyer if he was just upfront about what he is...a guy who is really good at winning football games and is more than willing to stretch the bounds of what is ethical or legal in order to get that done...i mean come on...aaron freaking hernandez played for him and stayed eligible.........he sells himself as a super moral guy self help guru culture changer leader of men guy so it's worse, like when a preacher gets busted sniffing meth off of some dudes lower back tattoo

varies in tx
small, poor school a varsity assistant will get 3k for football, I've heard of other guys getting up to 10...coordinators get an extra stipend on top of that (a few thousand bucks) this is on top of their teaching salary, we don't have non school employee coaches. Football coaches can also get extra contract days to cover the time they spend working before school starts, but districts are slowly but surely moving away from that because they suck and they know they can make us work for free and nobody will complain because you don't want to sound like you're not "doing it for the kids"
