This is funny. I do the uploads and intercutting while I drink on Friday night. Now that is efficiency! True, but are you ripping anybody off and making exorbitant amounts of money in the process? The American dream! I like coaching football too much to worry about making money.

We meet at least twice a month sometimes once a week depending on conflicts.
Once we have covered the overall program topics like next years staff, depth, possible practice tweaks. Then we will move on to taking a look at our upcoming scheudle. Every year our weeks 1 and 2 are teams that we do not play every year. We take a week or 2 on each of our first two games. Breakdown the games we have on them and do a practice gameplan as if we were going to play that week. This helps show the way to any new guys on staff as to how we go about things. Also gives guys in new roles a chance to see what their responsibilities will be.
After that we will go though each of our conference opponents and spend a week on each. Taking close looks at what we did well and what we didn't do well. Making sure if there are any issues that can be fixed by teaching things better earlier on in the season.
As we get closer to July we will set our plan for our Camp and then for our Two a Days.

I'm with the golfer on this one. Some of you guys take this sh!t way to seriously. So if the kid doesn't lift and your team isn't successful all is well in the world?
You seem like the kind of coach who likes to say things like "we need to lift to win" but then turns around and tells somebody else that "lifting isn't needed"
Make up your mind.
Not the case at all. I just think that you guys think that this football thing is the end all be all to all people. I guess I just have a different perspective. I read all the stuff you guys write and just think you are all completly insane. I love football and coach it well but if a kid has another interest you guys make them out to be soft or part of the wusification of america or whatever other way you want to say. When in reality these kids now days are asked to do way more then we were ever asked to do even 15 years ago. The kid wants to compete in another sport. Do you guys let your basketball players do open gym in the mornings during the football season?

I love just being a fan. From December until the Packers are done I go into complete die hard mode. Love it! The only Badger game I usually watch from start to finish is their Bowl game so I am not nearly as into those.
During our season there just isn't time.

"The Alabama High School Athletic Association recommends its football teams do not exceed 90 minutes per week of full contact"
As they define full contact I don't think we would exceed 90 minutes of full contact in a season much less a week.

I wear Under Armour low cleats designed for speed guys when I coach. You decide: Athletic and cool or dorky? The fact that you even have to ask and drop the brand in there while you ask makes it very dorky.

I think with situations like these you let your seniors decide. Take a vote.

I wouldn't want to be a freshman going up against seniors. But if that is all you have I would be sure to limit the amount of OLine vs DLine contact. The vast majority of our scout reps vs our D do not include an OLine or DLine.
The skill guys should have no excuse. Its always fun to go run, catch and throw a football. (as long as of course you #1 D isn't sh!t rocking them) Keep everything thud.

In order to avoid a let down you must never let up. Coaches, players everybody.

We have a 10 minute pre-practice session. Each quarterback get 10 under center and 10 shot gun snaps with each center. Long snappers get as many reps as possible. Running backs have a ball on a rope they use to do ball security drills. WR's have a simple cut and catch drill. Lineman sit there and be fat and watch this happen. This gives our coaches time to set up indy drills. It also makes the kids take some responsibility for getting things started. We don't meet as a team before practice. It's just pre-practice and then right into dynamic stretching. Thats too bad considering they are a pretty big part of any football team's success.

I disagree about fake enthusiasm. Many times fake enthusiasm leads to real enthusiasm. I agree with this. And we have practiced it before. Sometimes you have to show them the way.

-More kids were held accountable therefore were vested in the program. Like I mentioned, the main stipulation was that kids had to practice in order to play. Not that I would have done any differently even if the HC hadn't cared; but with more kids seeing that they had a chance to play in front of momma on Thursday night, we had few if any problems with kids crapping out on practice, getting in trouble and missing practice b/c of detention/ISS/OSS/etc.. This is the biggest thing. We don't 2 platoon but we do go out of our way to play as many kids as possible. Last year we rotated 6 DLmen for 3 spots. 4 OLBs to 2 spots and 4 corners for 2 spots. I believe this makes your practices better.

I think people cite turnovers because in the NFL (where talent level is so close to being equal) this ends up being a variable that often tips the scale. Im gonna side with what fantom wrote, or at least what I gathered from it, in that in many ways turnovers are lucky; or at least they are a variable that the defense has far less control of and is somewhat out of its hands. I definitely think that turnovers are largely luck. You can certainly improve your chances of getting them by running to the ball and working on stripping but if the other guy doesn't drop it or if it bounces the wrong way there's not much you can do about it. The best teams in our League and State take care of the ball and take it away on D. Is this really all luck? I would argue that the best coached teams focus on the details of every aspect including ball security and take aways. It's usually the 0-9 team that fumbles the ball all over the field. Are they just really unlucky? I don't think so.

Reading this thread a lot of memories come flooding back. Establishing tradition is a big reason I was fired. Things we did that people complained about, but the kids loved... 50 mile bike ride fundraiser, more than 25k raised annually. Thursday practice was all pre-game, to include rehearsal of the National Anthem. I am a combat veteran and believe in my nation and my faith. Entered the game, through the crowd. wearing large "capes" with hoods over the helmet, (similar to a large raincoat) and the team would jog slowly around the field. This got a lot of attention from opponents, however, it served to help our players focus. The kickoff team would turn toward our sidelines and raise their hand and call out "Ahhhhh Bonzai!" and bow. The sideline and stands returned the gesture. Players were required to sing the fight song after the game, together, regardless of the outcome. Finally, we established a character program, that is to say we had a character period every day designed around a theme that went on all week everyday. This was a quote from our AD, "Coach, you are a great football coach, I want you to DROP the character program and include more football daily. Your job DOES NOT INCLUDE TEACHING CHARACTER, that is up to their parents" This was a good school with nice kids, and unrealistic, poor, leadership! Last year this program scored about 45 points and gave up nearly 500. All that we tried to establish is dead. They have no identity now, this was their "new direction." I am in a better place now and hoping to establish tradition here. The ""Ahhhhh Bonzai!" would be enough to make me want to fire you. The capes thing seems pretty lame too. You may want to rethink your tradition development. lol

I think an important one to cover is when you block at kick or have one blocked. The O and D can advance it if it is behind the LOS, but if it is passed the LOS it is treated as a punt.

Yep I have two August babies also. Works out great since you don't sleep during the football season anyway it makes it easier to do the late feedings then just get back to watching film.
Alot of football coaches have babies in the fall. Do the math, season ends baby comes nine months later.

[shadow=red,left,300][/shadow] we would play it on the road ONLY while we would be out there warming up And you think that makes it OK? Sounds like a D Bag move to me.
