I wouldn't recommend it. Guys get slivers. Field is hard and doesn't give. Everyone who plays on that field in our league slips way more than normal.

Yeah you have to use Monday also. I'm not in that situation numbers wise but I would suggest, Monday O day, Tuesday D Day, Wednesday half O/half D. Thursday Walk Thru. Better hit specials every single day!

Coffee, redbull, dip, monster, that's the healthiest and most common way! Chew and Cherry Pepsi for me. But I have quit chewing since Covid. We just started our spring season so we'll see how that goes. The late night chew and film session was such a great part of my day in the past.

I think you have to just carry on as normal. It needs to be pretty dam cold to not go out. We practiced in 4 degree wind chills last year.
Now snow removal can be an issue. Our maintenance staff is awesome in that department.
It absolutely shows up on gameday which team was inside all week vs outside.

Replays are where it's at. The ability to fast forward through all that worthless clinic talk and get to the meat quickly is a huge plus. Also being able to close the window when the guy really sucks is awesome. I have walked out of a bad speaker before but usually just suck it up.
The internet has always been a better way to gain football knowledge for me. But in person clinics are way to much fun to not do anymore. Probably two of my favorite weekends a year are going to clinics and getting after it for the weekend. Builds staff moral!

SMH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In the words of Aaron Rodgers... everyone needs to R-E-L-A-X!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are right, but the decision makers and the vocal 5% parents never do. Imagine how good of a job coaching would be if those two groups had their head on straight to begin with. Now they have a unifying excuse to freak out and justify their craziness. We can all be relaxed, but we have to deal with their world- which means we have to prep for this nonsense. Who is freaking out? Who is crazy?
Calling this nonsense seems crazy to me.
You can be calm and not crazy and still take measures to not be a dumbass.

I thought their tackling videos were very well done and useful. The analytics thing seems like overkill to me though, but I haven't used it. We did our own "in house" tackling analytics, I'll share how we broke it down in case that's something interesting to you. We broke tackling down into three phases Approach - getting to the ballcarrier Contact - making contact with proper fundamentals Finish - getting the sucker to the ground We then labeled every missed tackle on the year and gave created a column in HUDL and labled them A,C, or F what we found out? about 85% of our missed tackles had to do with approach/leverage. I have no idea what we are going to do with this information, because the sad fact is most of those leverage issues have to do with us being slow and the ball carrier being like way fast. I could stare at the near hip of a jack rabbit all day but I'm not catching the damn thing I did this once too back when I was a DC. Made a playlist on hudl of every single missed tackle for an entire season. I found the same issue, poor leverage on the ball carrier was the #1 reason we missed tackles. Mostly inside leverage players over running it. The next year we made this the number one focus of all of our tackling drills. You are either an inside hip player or an outside hip player. It was a very productive exercise. Brings back good memories.

Does playing music at practice help you play better-win? In HS football for example music - from bands or PA - is not supposed to be played after RFP (Ready for Play) signal. Seems like it be just another (big) thing to set up for practice. But apparently it works some programs? Does playing the radio in your car help you drive better? You listen to it because it makes driving more enjoyable. I like music.
It makes me feel better at practice and if I'm feeling better the kids probably are too. And if they are enjoying practice we are more likely to practice well, which will lead to us playing better and winning.

NCAA 06 was my last. Reggie Bush on the cover. Played a sh!t ton of Tecmo Bowl, Bill Walsh College Football, Madden over Christmas break back in the day.
I truly believe it laid the foundation to becoming a good coach. The amount of situational football reps I had as a child is remarkable.

I actually count 8 teams in the CFP top 10 as option teams. And all 10 run at least some option.
Whatever that means. I wouldn't think that that would have to be pointed out here but I guess it doeas.

#1, Your rule makes zero sense at all to me. Like I can't even begin to understand what could possibly be the thought process there.
#2, The kid should be lifting regardless. In season guys have a lifting program. Out of season guys have a lifting program. Get them all in the weight room. This seems to be your real problem.
#3, Let kids be kids. Get over yourself

I realize these guys are under a lot of stress and I try my best to always be polite with them and even sometimes joke around about stuff just to help them feel comfortable on our sideline. I can understand a missed call, even a bad miss from time to time. One game early this season though we had a defensive end get held bad by the offensive tackle. We are all screaming "hold" hoping it would help but get no call. This was about a minute before halftime. When the horn sounds to end the half we are headed in and the white hat approaches me and says, "Coach there was a hold on that play but it was away from the play so I didn't call it because it didn't effect the play." I was not happy. Asked him if that meant I can tell my players you are allowed to commit penalties away from the play as long as it isn't impacting the play it won't be called. He didn't like that response and stormed off. He absolutely should NOT have thrown the flag if it didn't effect the play. The ref was right. That's the problem a lot of time is all the dumbass coaches the refs have to deal with.

Don't be the guy that says that you invented the play because you most likely didn't. There is a school in Illinois where the coaches claim at clinics that they created this play or that play. Don't be that guy because that's a bunch of BS. Also another thing this school did was that the son said that his dad was a better coach than Urban Meyer. Don't say things like that because if you were better than him you wouldn't be at a high school in Illinois. Just two pet peeves of mine. Otherwise be yourself and have fun doing it. Or don't gloss yourself "oguru"

Coaching matters in all of them. If you don't think so that is probably the reason you think you are out gunned. Most of coaching is not done on those 9 Fridays in the fall.

No I don't think this scenario takes place multiple times in games. Maybe once a season. I haven't seen one anything like this in a game ever that I can remember. That is over the last 15 seasons.

I am starting notice most of my player concussions this year have been equipped with Schutt Vengeance helmets. Has anyone else had a significant number of concussions happening from one helmet type? I ordered a bunch of the Guardian Caps in hopes it will aleviate some of the contact in practice. Why are they hitting heads in practice?

5 is enough
QB, RB, WR, TE, OL
CB, S, ILB, OLB, DL
Each guy has an Indy O and D position to coach. When you split to group and team stuff you have 3 guys with the varsity (HC, DC, OC) and 2 with the JV (JV OC, JV DC).
6 would make a world of difference. You could have 3 guys at each level. But 5 is doable for sure.

I think whatever you do, it should be authentic. Whether it's coming from the coach or players. Be true to who/what you are. If you are half-ass all week and then come out fired up and rowdy game day, everyone knows your full of it Reminds me of when I was working on my speech game. One of the best Tedtalks I've heard on this simply stated "Speak from the heart" As soon as I heard that line 2 minutes into the video, I understood it and didn't need to watch the entire thing. When you speak from the heart, raw emotions, people can feel that. I imagine hype game falls under the same thing. This is the deal. Bringing some juice to pregame is a tool that can be used when need but it has to be authentic and come from somebody who has earned the right to bring some juice.
So yes it(he) can be useful. If you are saying no I don't agree with you.

You're exhibiting a common trait of football coaches: a preference for control. A bad punt that stays in the middle of the field may be poison, but a shanked punt presents some great opportunities for a runback by players other than your usual returners. The coverage team is mostly looking the wrong way and out of position when a ball comes down short and near a sideline. I might call it poison if conservatively protecting a lead, but otherwise it's something that should be taken maximum advantage of even if it means a player not used to handling the ball has to play a wobbly or bouncing one. Is it bad as a football coach to want to have control over things that can go catastrophically bad for your team? I have literally never seen a player other than the punt returner do anything positive with the ball but I have seen a ball hit one of our guys numerous times. I would argue that the worst coached position in high school football is punt returner. I will trade a muff or two per season for the 4 to 500 yards of field position I see teams give away. Punt returners must catch the ball for us.

That stupid TD celebration by the Missouri QB deserved to be mocked. Looked like Herman and his players took advantage of the opportunity.

Or your team time could be spent without any coaches talking.
The players standing around is harder to avoid if you have more than 44 guys participating it is hard to avoid.
I agree with keeping team time short. Just plays. No coaching on the field. Coach it up on film if needed.
