I was told, u should never return to your former team... it’s never the same..
I’ve never done it yet personally but I guess these things get put out here by someone! P

Common place here in England. We play teams twice each regular season, sometimes we can play a team 3 times....and just like happened last year we can and do play teams back to back.
not much fun..

I finished the second season last night. I was on the fence about liking the Head coach until he kicked the OC out of the game during their bowl. Really they way he treated all of his coaches all year especially the DC I thought was wrong. I dont think that a coach should be cussing out kids constantly but at the same time that doesn't bother me much when every other word out of those kids mouth is the f word. where I think Stevens is a Hypocrite is when he says cowards and losers point fingers and turns around and tells the DC its your job not mine. Or when he says the kids have to keep their composure but he is out there losing his {censored} every other play. Disgraceful how he reacted to his Oc in the bowl game.. It's no coincidence neither coordinator returns in 2017... how could you work for that guy after he does that to a coach 8 -9 years loyal to him

nope We were the first ones in our area using the matte look We did Matte black for years HC switched back to glossy before last season we liked the matte black look, but felt it was getting played out a bit and the biggest factor was the paint chipping off the matte colors dont seem to "stick" to the helmet as well we had a lot of flaking/peeling on the crowns of helmets and our riddell rep pretty much said the matte colors come off easier I agree with matte getting played out and being flaky... we just finished year 5 of matte but the last 3 years we went to a 2 tone look... light columbia blue that faded down to white.... this year we are going from light gray down to light columbia blue... This helmet looks awesome!

4 of the 9 teams we saw based out of it. I'd say once you get under D6 about 1/2 the schools in the state run some version of it. D1 is evolving as well. Last year we played 8 facemelter schools, 1 Pro I team, and 2 wing t teams. This year: 2 under center wing t teams 1 pistol wing t team 1 pistol flexbone team 1 pro I team The others were spread with their own variation. We didn't change conference or anything, just new coaches giving us new looks. Honest question... did they have more success against you than the previous regimes or was the change of system irrelevant..

Can only run what I know..
Wherever I go, whatever team I have an opportunity to install at.. they will get what I've always run Playbooks can always be manipulated to encapsulate your talent.... just gotta know what your limits are... u usually find out the hard way...

To the op, as a European coach dealing with the same issues you do.. best piece of advice ..... you have to have a ol....
It's the 1 thing that most struggle with and u need to find the right guys to fit, if there 16-19 then they don't need to be technically big guys like senior line usually are, being fundamentally sound is a huge equaliser
Usually once the bigger guys spend a few sessions at oline they love it... the trench fighting is game within a game and I know many players who love oline.. as for rugby guys... u don't get many that play oline, they usually all end up on d or at rb... lol
Recruiting your lineman from rookie days and what not is where you get the source from
Teams here build oline for years, u usually start with a lump and really have to mould him.. that's why I have so much respect for our oline coaches in the uk.. toughest gig in football.. without an oline your dead ducks
As for skill positions.. usually it comes down to I wanna hit people and I want to catch footballs... this sorts itself out very quickly!
Good luck to u sir! Hope all goes well!

Thirty plus years ago, I caught the end of a JV game that was very once sided. Up 40-0, the winning team scored with about 2 minutes left, and went for two. 48-0. No running clock back then. They then onside kicked, recovered, and were throwing bombs into the end zone as time ran out. The losing coach refused to shake his hand after the game, and wouldn't let his players shake their opponents player's hands, either. He got a letter of reprimand from his administration for his lack of sportsmanship. Two wrongs don't make a right. Win with class, lose with dignity. Your right and I've done it, shook hands after having teams Run up scores on you.. But it's bloody hard to be the bigger man when teams pull stuff like you mention.. It's bloody hard!

U watch the YouTube series and stephens comes across the same as millions of other coaches out there.. If you hadn't watched the Netflix series you would say he was a good coach that wanted to progress the kids Qb 5 who didn't play until the last game where he got the auburn deal actually plays in almost every game u see the highlights and he's playing, and throwing/runnin for tds yet Netflix don't portray that
Editing is always dangerous...

Really the ranking system needs to change... You would think it would be on points against rather than making a statement by having to call time outs 40/50 points up before halftime because u need to make statements... Do they have running clock etc? To me that is the real problem.. I know me personally as a coach I would be on my 3/4 string guys at 40-0 Must be horrible thinkin we Gotta score 70 cos so and so scored 60 last week.. That was the old BCS, wasn't it? Margin of victory was a big deal and lead to stupid score lines, or am I misremembering? Honestly I don't know what system that Juco league is using but anytime your purposely running scores up to get up in the rankings just asks for trouble.. IMHO No idea what there actually using

I think if there is one thing we all should learn, its that when you call timeout with 40 seconds left in the half while you're up 48-0, run the quick screen to YOUR OWN SIDELINE. That was the only thing I had an issue with....don't run anything to your opponent's bench when you're creaming them Really the ranking system needs to change...

You guys complaining about the coach and even the community being only about winning, do you not enjoy it? Does your community not enjoy it? I am not a win at all cost guy, but I love winning. I will do everything that I can within the rules to win. I prefer to do it in a more positive way. I don't swear at kids, I hold them accountable for their bad choices, and try to teach life lessons. Part of life is winning though. If we deny that we are doing a disservice. I don't see anyone complaining about the coach/community wanting to win. Tbf I thought the oc, coach wood was a good foil for Stephens... Was a very positive coach, especially on game day.. Hc would chew em out then he would pick em back up I liked that... I thought I was a fast talker but dang that dude talks fast!

Watched this series last night on YouTube..
Was very good eye opening to on the athlete who has to balance school and what they actually want to do, play ball
Brawl was just crazy..
Not sure how I feel about coach Stephens.. He's obv a winner. He just needs to practice what he preaches..
Profanity isn't anything.. U see that everywhere these days.. These young men don't even blink at swear words in modern society ...
Was a great watch...
