Anyone who has wacthed and followed the Texas program can see changes need to be made. I like the idea of changing the culture down in Austin. Texas teams have too much talent to look so bad on the field. Now its time to get a quality QB in place, since every other team in the country gets their QBs from this state. Some if it might be overkill, but its easier to start tough and relax a little than it is to crack down halfway through the year. Also, players can live off campus they just have to meet the requirements. I'm sure that married players will be allowed to live with their family.

I do have a problem with it, for eligibility issues. There is no way to regulate this, so if a kid cannot pass all you have to do is put him in home school and now they can continue to play ball. What are we actually doing for that kid? I am more in favor of a voucher system. I am aware that I will get bashed for this, but I know with my own child I would like my tax money to go to the school my child is actually going to. I do not live in the district that I coach in; my kid can go to school where I coach but I still have to pay taxes for the district we live in and would never send my son there. The voucher system will create competition among schools, good teacher will finally be rewarded by getting more money. The biggest down fall of public education is that a crappy teacher/coach makes just as much as someone who is good at their job. In fact if you are good you get more responsibility, and if you are terrible you get less, but still get paid the same. I think that competition is good for public schools, not just the rich private schools. I live in Texas and I can see this home school thing getting way out of control in a hurry.

The Single Coach: Every guy needs at least one single friend, and every staff needs one single coach. Probably on the lower levels (cause making films Saturday morning aint in his gameplan yet). He helps by letting the rest of the staff live vicariously through his conquests and mistakes. Always fun at post clinic trips to the bar, and excellent at spotting hot moms from the booth this coach keeps the other coaches feeling young. As "The Young Single Coach" this is what my experience has been like. Must be in the job description. 1. Get reminded constantly by the other coaches A. How good the single life is B. How "good" they were in their single days. Like a Midwestern Don Juan or whatever. C. How "good" they still are and would be if they were still single 2. Get berated for not picking up women on the spot whenever and wherever I please A. Regardless of how standards change dramatically when its not your "chips" youre gambling with B. Regardless of how different your standards may be from all the other 40-60 Year olds C. Regardless of what kind of ring shes wearing or who shes with D. Regardless of how uncomfortable that waitress just became by getting hit on by a group of tipsy old men E. Because it doesn't matter that she is being hit on by the rest of the clinic/hotel/community F. Because inviting her back to the Hotel where we have 5 dudes sharing a room would work so well 3. Throw around a bunch of "interesting" ideas that never stick until it is reinforced by Coach X from BCS State University some 2 years later at a clinic A. Because we appreciate your input, just not that idea B. Because we've been doing it this way for X amount of years C. Because in 19XX we did it one week against X and I remember X did X and we won (Yes, I don't understand 100% how variables work)
This might be the best post ever!!
We have a pretty large staff at the 3A school I coach at and we almost have every person listed on this thread. My favorite is the "Old Guy" used to be a head coach and now loves being an assistant, he can say whatever he wants and reminds us everyday how much fun coach ball really is.

We use hudl, but I want to get something down on paper and maybe ppt. What is the best way to go about this? Is there a certain website or template most use, or is it better to just get on ppt and do it there? Thanks
