We have trainers run our weight room but the HC and another AC are usually there. As DC, I go to everything else which includes a camp in June, a camp in July, either 7-on-7 tournament or league, and usually a Team Camp in July. It depends on the year who shows up. This past summer, we were missing half our coaches for a camp; other years, everyone was there.

When we made the playoffs and needed a charter bus for our second round game……we had an Asst coach who has been around forever and is well connected in our community basically start calling alumni, community members, and people who owed him a favor to raise the money for the trip. So parents weren’t paying for their kid to get a charter bus. But we were basically soliciting money. A team that made the state tournament this fall did the same thing. They also raised money for the fans to ride a bus for free. They just got businesses and community members to donate money.

I didn't read the article from Football Scoop but we would definitely tell the truth to recruiters. Nobody benefits from trying to hide anything.

We printed a card with 8 plays on it in color and gave it to each skill position... they never huddled... coach would call out a number... the coach would show the OL the play on a big card. We consistently got 16 plays done in 10 minutes. I like the tablet idea too if you can have multiples.... Also helped tempo if we were playing a no huddle team. Do you use the same card with 8 plays the whole week or do the 8 plays change each day?

Teaching: stay out of sight out of mind. Stay away from them all, stay away from the gossip. Just nod in approval. Its ok. Classroom management: I dont give a poop about cell phones, music, bathroom, eating, and drinking. I always have errands, copies, that need to be done. I dont do anything not absolutely necessary. I dont call security if at all possible, I dont kick em out of class, I certainly dont send them to the office. Or calll home. Anything can and will be overlooked if you give me a reason. I dont and will not raise my voice. Coaching; I turn the lights on and I turn the lights off. Although much of this seems counterintuitive to what we learn or hope for when we get into it....I am starting to think it is more this way. Gossip is one of the absolute worst...rarely go to the teacher's lounge for lunch. Best lesson I learned in student teaching was the guys (there were about 7 male teachers who ate together in one room and put on ESPN) had one rule; no talking about school. Classroom management...is this all to not bring attention to yourself? I don't raise my voice either: it is a sign that they're getting under your skin. I've learned most teachers want to fit in so they go to the teacher's lounge, gossip, etc. I spent most time in my room by myself. The only time I send students to the office is when they are disrupting someone else's education. If they don't want to work, that's their choice. They can listen to music and do whatever else they want, as long as they don't disrupt someone else's education. Nobody will know I work in the building unless a student disrupts someone else's education.

We did for a few years when I was at another school. I still made a script and the coach that ran the scout offense just swiped to the next play. I didn't have to put the cards in order so it saved me time. If we wanted to flip some cards or wanted to run some cards multiple times, we didn't have to print extra. We also didn't have to print extra if we wanted to use two huddles.

Personally I'm tagging film on Saturdays and coming up with a gameplan. I might check a few old threads if I remember something, otherwise I won't post often. Saturday we're still working on the gameplan, making scout cards, and meeting as a staff on Zoom. Same thing was Saturday, I might look something up but I typically won't post. These things don't take all weekend, but obviously there are other things that need to be done outside of football.

Wrote this back in 2019: I haven't run a full-team segment in my last three years as a coordinator. I gave up trying to "get a look" and instead choose to segment practice. Inside Run on cans. Backup LB's service as Q/T/F/important OL (think pullers) Formation Rec/Perimeter Run: starting offensive skill. No OL/DL. 7 on 7/Pattern Matching: starting offensive skill. We run a much more crisp defensive practice this way. What did you do during Inside Run on cans if the opponent didn't pull? Did you not have any OL? What did the defensive line do during all of this?

We number the scout players so they just have to know where their number is. We barely have enough for our defense plus scout team, so we can't use two huddles or rotate players. We found that it's more important just to have a coach who makes the scout team hurry up and gets after them to go hard. Otherwise we're getting one rep every three minutes, which doesn't amount to much in 15 minutes.

You can go on the field to make the call so the players will still find you. I got a penalty for that on Friday. There was a penalty and they hadn't even started marking it off, I was 3 steps on the field giving a signal and saying something to the FS and they threw a flag for it. I was baffled. If that happened around here, I'd have a flag every play. I make the call or say what I have to, and I get off the field. Most refs don't have an issue. If they say something once, I'll talk to them and then they'll typically let me on the field as long as I quickly get back to the sideline. Other coaches on our staff have said I've been as far out as the hash when the ball was snapped, but I don't believe them.

Wear opposite the team jersey like others have said, as long as it's a different color than the other coaches. I try and wear a different color than most people, but one or two coaches usually end up with the same color. You can go on the field to make the call so the players will still find you.

Why does Saban, Belichick, etc. still have Indy and still practice tackling, blocking, etc. if it's not worth the time?

We would still care about formation tendencies because those typically stay the same whether it's one game or five games, at least with the teams we play. We're not focused as much on down and distance early in the season, if at all throughout the whole season.

I've heard most schools around here really aren't forcing students to quarantine if they've been in contact with someone who's positive. They send something home and it's up to the families if they want them to quarantine or not. I don't think there have been any cancellations in our state yet, at least not that I know of.

Our JV usually plays on Monday unless it's someone outside of our conference, which is usually only one or two games each season at the most.

We are too. As of right now, we'll only have four out of eight games on a Friday because we can't find refs.

All sports are losing athletes around here. I’d say other sports have had to cut lower levels quicker than football. It’s not just football.

Pictures have always been during practice at every school I've coached at. If we don't win a game because we lost that half hour of practice, then we should look at how we practice. Pictures in all of the schools that I have worked at in the South have picture taking like I wouldn’t believe. In the north it was always. Quick team picture, if you want individual pictures get in that line and if not get changed and let’s go. In the South…team picture in gym, team picture in bleachers, players individual pictures, player pictures with family, coaches picture for family, position group pictures, staff picture, grade level group picture, football + cheerleading, senior football + senior football, and finally all fall sports at once in the bleachers. Plus or minus a pose or two depending on local preference. It’s nonsense. I’ve been married 18 years and my wife has only suckered into three formal family pictures. I didn’t know they did all that in the south. That’s crazy. We usually take pictures at the end of practice where I’m at now. We take the team picture first and the assistants all leave. The head coach stays until individual pictures are finished. I’d say we lose maybe 30-45 minutes of practice. It’s in the first two weeks so we’re not preparing for a game yet.

We have individual meetings throughout the first couple of weeks just so everybody is on the same page. We tell them where they are on the depth chart and why. These are usually 30 second meetings on the field at practice. We started doing these so there weren't any surprises for the first game.

Many years ago we played at a school where there was no space in press box for opponents' coaches. They had a "crow's nest" on a light pole you had to climb up behind visitor's stands. That crazy. One of schools we play has the visitor "box" as a standing area with wooden fence in the stands. We had a locker room with the bathroom at one end of a horse shoe layout. The bathroom opened to a sink and a toilet beside the sink with no privacy walls. One school we played a few years ago has the visitor coaches stand at the top of the bleachers. We had parents surrounding us the whole game. A school we used to play had the coaches go on top of the gym behind the endzone before they had a press box.

Masks were optional in school after the last day of school. Most aren’t wearing them now during summer school. I haven’t heard of any big restrictions yet for football this fall.

It didn't seem like there were more openings this year. I've heard the opposite of other people though. People have been excited to get out of the house after spending so much time at home in the past year.

The only time we do 1 v 1 is if we have extra time during Indy and we wan to give the kids a break from drills. It's still not often though. I think we did it once last year.

I'm assuming he's talking about St. Thomas in Minnesota. There have been many threads and articles about their defense.
I will say it helps if you're twice as big as the next biggest school and three times as big as the majority of the other schools in the conference. They also have the most money which means they have the best facilities, which ultimately helps in recruiting.
