I remember a couple of years ago, Air Force was able to run their FG team on the field to kick a Field Goal against Houston with only 1 second on the clock. I would add that to the list if I were you. Heck, if you coach some of the teams I coach, just practicing who goes on and who comes off is worth it haha.

$100 says the leading complainers about this guy's donations are the athletics that aren't directly benefiting from it? Any takers? I'm was thinking something similar, but I was thinking a kid's parent who was complaining that their kid(s) weren't playing. Happens a ton around here. Not so much football as in basketball. Basketball is still kind of a big deal here in Indiana for whatever reason.

I don't believe in being different for the sake of being different. But if you know what you're doing it can be to your advantage. We are in a conference that is drifting away from under center power football. We are still in that mode and will remain there. I'm with groundchuck. If your O or D is something different from what your opponents play most weeks, you should be in good shape. The reads/keys for defense or blocking scheme/pass pro will be a tad different than previous or upcoming weeks and that helps you out as a team. The other team has to waste practice time in terms of figuring the above things out. Now, are those things a big deal? Somewhat, but the time the other team takes to prepare for your differences slows them down from practicing and repping what they do all the time. This is especially true if your O/D is similar in structure i.e. formation wise or Front, but you do something totally different different. Take the Flexbone and Hybrid Wing T. The formations are very similar, but what they do is different. Even if you play in a league full of Flexbone teams, the Hybrid Wing-T will mess people up. To properly defend both, you must have different reads and keys or you will be in trouble. Add in the fact that some high schools cannot 2 platoon and the time factor adds up as you have to cover both O and D. What also helps you out as a team that runs different stuff, is to have a flexible system/structure in place to help you account for something you may have anticipated. Flexbone, Wing-T, and Run and Shoot teams do a good job of this. The system they have in place allows them to be flexible on game night to still get the job done. It also happens that they live in the extreme, but they have system in place that allows for that to continue.

You get all of the AFCA publications - Technical Manual, Summer Manual, they also have a new magazine called "This is AFCA" that talks football operations and a little bit of x's and o's. Would you say it is worth joining then?

They should just do it like Indiana and let everybody in. It gives everybody a chance to win it.

I have to agree with Groundchuck for the most part. I don't really look at conditioning stations as "condition" per se, but more as mental toughness drills. By 2 a days, your players should be in good enough shape that doing those types of activities wouldn't really tire them out for the most part. However, I feel like these drills should emphasize building mental toughness and fighting through adversity. I think it's these kinds of activities that coaches can do that set their players up best for success in life. This is as close as you can get to simulating what it is going to be like in a game, in class, and in the job place that the kids get no penalty for under preforming or failing. Their behavior can be correct without consequences. That gives them a chance to be mentally tougher for when they are out in the real world and there not many "second chances" available. I also make sure to tell my players this as well. It seems like they respect us coaches more for it now that they realize that it isn't for punishment, but character building. Lastly, I do think you can find ways to incorporate fundamentals/agilities into conditioning stations and have them work simultaneously.
