Ok who's film are they using? The home team or away? and what if neither team has HUDL sideline? Slippery slope here. What is review-able? what isn't? This is HS football, officials are just part of the game. Good, bad ugly it is what it is. In a state game that is filmed by professionals with angles all over. Ok, but on a rainy Friday night with a 17 year old camera operator and an IPad...yea this will cause issue.. What if home team angle is good and sees it better than the away team, are they going to go back an forth to each view and each sideline? If you have a 3rd party paid film guy by the state then maybe...even then seems like a lot of wasted tax dollars for a football game....

So most of us coach student athletes. And I will bet all of us say things like, "its about the kids, its for the kids". Is it really? Most rules governing our sport in regards to non game day activities are about US, protecting US. Take transferring/recruiting. Those rules are about protecting the coach, there not whats best for the Kid. Example, your a stud WR and you go to a school that chucks it 40 times a game. Next season your coach leaves and the new guy is single wing, is this whats best for the kid? But if the kid leaves in most states without actually picking up and moving, the kid sits. So is it about the kids? Lets just say you are a kid who just hates his coach, kids are people to, and sometimes you just dont get along. So the kid can stay in a toxic relationship with hopes he will play or what? Quit? he cant transfer or open enroll because he will sit. These rules also serve to protect bad coaches. Bad coaches know they wont loose kids to a cross town rival, why, well because the kid cant play. This is a mostly true fact, kids dont transfer from good programs to go to a bad one, they transfer a bad one for a good one. So again is it for the kids? Is staying at a bad program whats best for the kid? Why are we afraid of allowing recruiting and transfers? In Corp America if you are good, people will recruit you all day, you stay if the place you work is a good one, you leave if it is not. Sure money may play a factor but if your happy , you will most likely stay. Coaches can come and go as they please, but not the players? Again if you are in a system that plays to your strengths and the coach leaves and a new coach puts in a system that doesn't, why should a kid have to stay in that system. Why should the kid sacrifice for the adult coach?? Oh I know I am in the minority here. But if you stop rationalizing whats in your best interests and actually believe what we all say, you cant argue against this. by allowing this does this make our jobs harder, YEP sure does, and it makes all of us better, which will make the kid better. Work hard or fail, isn't that what we all preach to these kids? But instead we pass rules under "its fair" umbrella....life aint fair, suck it buttercup... Want to keep your kids, its pretty easy, out work the other guy and build a program that kids want to be a part of. Sorry but if you are phoning it in and your kids want to leave, well thats on you. But lets stop pretending it's bout the kids and "fairness", its about US, its about you. Change my mind, prove me wrong! With all due respect you sound exactly like what you are preaching against.....entitled. Your first example is what if you have a STUD WR & a coach who chucks the ball 40 times & then you change to a SW. Well, let me ask you this: Let's say you have stud WR & coach who chucks the ball 40X & the coach stays but decides to run the ball a TON the following year b/c his QB graduated & the next kid up has silly string for an arm? Or just doesn't make great decisions w/ the ball? I'm guessing, again w/ all due respect, that you are on the upside of things right now as a program so your thoughts are, why shouldn't kids get to transfer here b/c we're awesome! But if you were on the other side, and kids were leaving you'd feel different. Furthermore, what you're preaching is, if you don't like the way things are going, just leave. Is that what you're going to tell your players when they marry? What your wife gained a little baby weight after your 3rd child was born? You didn't sign up for that? Meh, trade her in for a younger model. Thank God our military doesn't subscribe to your mentality, or we'd all be speaking German. Sometimes things aren't what we always want, but it's awfully hard to fix them by "outworking the other guy" when your program is a revolving door. Maybe a coach retires and a new guy comes in, should everybody leave immediately & not even give him a chance b/c it might be hard? Can't coach ghosts. I suspect however, no matter what is said you will not change your mind. The only thing that will change it is life experience. JMO. So a lot of assumptions here coach...guess you missed the part where I said...I don't know if I am for or against the idea. As for my program, nope not on upside at all, in fact moved from a very good program to one that went 1-8 the year before (I don't live in the district, I don't get paid and my kid plays in another district). I didn't preach anything, I simply provided the other side of the argument. Here are the facts gentlemen, Parents are voters, parents can influence and if the only argument against letting parents do whatever they want and transfer kids all over is "its bad for the coach". Well guess what, nobody gives a flying frog's butt about you...so this little experiment was to see how you will argue either for or against it, as it is coming and will be coming your way...if it hasn't already. So you better be able to argue your point from logic and not cause your butt hurt you may loose your job. Parents vote.... There are extremes to everything and yes you could have kids move because of being butt hurt. As for the military comment....There is an EGA hanging on my wall...

In this state, it's relatively easy for kids to transfer from school to school within the Native American reservations. The kids bounce from family member to family member within area around and in the reservation, depending on how well the schools are doing in sports. I can tell you, unequivocally, that this has a detrimental effect on the kids' education; they go to three schools in four years and struggle to stay on track to graduate. There's a lot of super-teams (basketball..) that are created because the kids go where they think they're going to win. But all of this bouncing from one environment to another throughout the years causes significant social and academic issues for the kids. Now, there are other issues on the Native reservations; severe poverty, crime, drug use, etc..etc.. But, we see a lower graduation rate out of the kids that bounce from school to school than the rest of the population. Couldn't disagree more. As a military brat I bounced from school to school. I went to 3 different schools for 8th grade alone. In fact I think my social skills are better as I had to make new friends every 3-4 years. So is it parenting that has graduation rates low? or the schools? I don't blame teachers for poor graduation rates, I blame parents. And I am sure if a study was done, you would see a slightly higher rate for military kids than none, simply because military parents in general don't have discipline problems. Just guessing here no hard facts, just observations of my childhood. (and I attend MLK elementary school in North Chicago ILL in the 70's and that is the chit of chit neighborhoods, Navy kids were not the problem)

The HC has built a family environment with the staff...I am not a teacher so I don't worry about the politics of the school. The football staff is family..

I thank you all for feedback. Good dialogue, well except for the pouting English teach who wants everyone to proof read...Most of what I see here again is a rationalization in favor of the coach. "Coaches have bills to pay" your right, so as we do in corp America, do a good job, keep your job, do a bad one and you don't keep your job. Also stating the kid needs to stay in bad situation because that could happen in life. Yes it could, but when you hate your job, most people find a new one. As for the education part, OK lets say the kid leaves because he is in a crapy school, guess what he still cant play. The comment about transferring after elimination from playoffs....really? I think everyone can agree you cant transfer in season, even coaches don't transfer in season. Are the rules equitable? Is it equitable to say that a kid should be made to stay in bad situation just because of where he lives? Is that really whats best for the kid? Several post about "its not about sports its about school"...well then explain why IMG academy is so successful? The business model of that whole HS is sports. The cost parents will pay for sports. And to say we teach them to not worry about things outside their control...well it's outside of their control because we say it is, not because it is. Coach hates an AD, coach leaves. Teacher hates the Super, teacher leaves. Kid hates coach, too bad kid suck it up....I am not saying transfers are right or wrong. But so far all I have heard is "me, me me"....they prevent "super teams" again that is about you, and is a super team bad? Was is it good in college but bad in HS? Its about competition? Your right it is, so why have a rule that doesn't force you to compete for the kid? You want to keep your best, then compete for them, show them your better. Isn't it our jobs to place the kid in the best position to get to the next level and be successful? I have employees leave all the time for promotions with other companies, if they cant get what they want here, and I don't think they have what I need, I let them leave and I support them doing what is best for them. They are doing what is best for them and their families. Why cant a kid do the same? We don't stop a science geek from leaving to go to some HS with a top notch AP science program, unless of course that kid also plays QB. We only stop athletes...(sorry of I did not properly proof read...)

1st culture. Culture is very important, it keeps kids in your program, and brings kids too your program. Kids quit sports everyday, if you ask them why and get an honest answer most times its culture, they wont use that word but if you break it down, that is the reason. Kids also come back to a sport for the same reasons. Xs and Os don't really change, football is football, sure we tweak it here and there but it is what it is, block, tackle, throw it and catch it, its not rocket science. But culture can and will drive away kids, good kids and bad kids. Ask yourself this, we all have those HS programs in our states that year after year are competing for State. Are they just better at Xs and Os? Or do they attract athletes to the program because of the culture they have created? We have all seen successful coaches leave one program for another and success follows (sometimes it doesn't yes). Why? is it really Xs and Os? Wing T is Wing T...and lastly most of us are HS coaches and is it all about football? or is about turning young boys into successful young men? Xs and Os dont do the later....as for can you make a 16 year old a leader..HELL YES, you can train leadership, with the right guidance and tools...and culture....the Marine Corps is viewed as one of the best fighting forces in the world...we train pretty much the same as everyone else....Culture and leadership are the reasons. Marine History is a primary subject in boot camp, why, to develop the culture that you are the Biggest, baddest SOB in the valley...which in a fight if you have the mindset you cant be beat, chance are you wont be beat...dont believe me, walk into a Navy, Army and Air Force recruiting office, then walk into a Marine office, if you dont see an immediate difference then you aint pay attention...Culture....and I grew up a Navy brat....just my 2 cents...

This problem will only get worse. As long as we have political leaders on the stump pushing to legalize this and have it accepted in the main stream. Its pretty sad when we view cigarettes worse than MJ. The stigma with tobacco is much worse than that of dope. As we fight to ban one we are fighting to legalize the other! This is what I can tell you, I never made an arrest of a person who caused the death of another human because he/she smoked a cigarette, I have made that arrest because of pot.....

JJDIDTIEBUCKLE...it has worked for the Marine Corps for 200 years, don't over think leadership, 14 leadership traits and 11 leadership principals has made the Marine Corps the most disciplined and feared fighting force in the world. The reason is small unit leadership taught and reinforced. You can adapt these to anything, and be successful.
Justice Justice is the practice of being fair and consistent. A just person gives consideration to each side of a situation and bases rewards or punishments on merit. As good leaders, we have to hold people accountable. We have to show that if you do good, you get good things. If you do bad, you will be held accountable.
Judgment Often, leaders must assess situations quickly and without significant time to reflect. The Marine Corps refers to the “70 Percent Solution,” meaning an imperfect solution that can be acted upon quickly, rather than waiting for the perfect judgment – which may never come. This guideline doesn’t advise acting in extreme haste; rather, it advises avoiding “analysis Paralysis.” It argues that with 70 percent of the possible knowledge, having completed 70 percent of the analysis, and with a confidence rate of about 70 percent, the time is right to make an informed judgment.
Dependability Amidst the stress and chaos of combat, there often is no telling how people will react. A hero one day may be a catatonic wreck the next. Some would say that’s perfectly understandable. Marines say that’s totally unacceptable. Marines demand dependability in all situations – on and off the battlefield. Leaders have consistency in crisis and do not over commit. They do what they say they’ll do when they say they’ll do it.
Initiative Find a way to take the initiative; don’t do it for the recognition or for the glory, do it to help accomplish the mission. Think outside the box, try new things, and consider new solutions to existing problems. Improvise, Adapt, Overcome!
Decisiveness Research indicates that most people make decisions intuitively rather than analytically more than 90 percent of the time. The Handbook for Marine NCOs has the following advice for modern Marines: “Make sound and timely decisions. TO make a sound decision, you should know your mission, what you are capable of doing to accomplish it, what means you have to accomplish it, and what possible impediments or obstacles exist (in combat, these would be enemy capabilities) that might stand in the way. Timeliness is also important as soundness. In many military situations, a timely, though inferior, decision is better than a long-delayed theoretically correct, decision.
Tact Tact is the ability to communicate in the language that best allows a listener to understand the message or meaning that’s being communicated and to be motivated to act upon it. Given that background, the tactful leader chooses the language or behavior that will help the people in his audience to motivate themselves. Tact is the ability to say something or make a point in such a way that not only is the other person not offended; they are totally receptive. Being tactful comes with training and maturity but it’s also determined by making the right decisions – the right decisions about what to say, when to say it, how to say it, and who to say it to.
Integrity Integrity in a leader is reflected by honesty as well as a desire to inspire and a devotion of values that the leader constantly tried to communicate to those he or she leads. The leader with integrity can rarely if ever relax a commitment to what he or she believes is the behavior that best reflects those closely held values. When followers see leaders acting with integrity, they are more likely to want to emulate that quality. Integrity is the cornerstone of leadership. There’s only one thing that no one can take away from you. They can take your life, they can take your savings, they can take your property, they can take everything you’ve got… but the one thing no one can take from you is you integrity, your honor. You have to voluntarily give that up. You’re the owner of your integrity. And some people sell it awfully cheap.
Endurance The enduring leader defaults to responsibility. If something must be done, then it must be done, even if the best resources or relevant training aren’t available. During the battle of Guadalcanal, Marine John Basilone exemplified endurance when he manned his machine gun non-stop for three days and nights without sleep, rest, or food stalling the efforts of an entire enemy regiment. At the end of the battle, only three Marines from Basilone’s machinegun crew were still standing. Basilone endured with a pair of burned hands. Basilone’s asbestos gloves had been lost in the chaos and he used his bare hands to handle the hot guns.
Bearing A Marine with bearing is driven toward a goal with purpose, jumping at opportunities with self-improvement that increase his ability to reach that goal. Bearing is about channeling that drive to other people. Leaders with bearing know where they stand, and they understand the environment in which they work. They set an example for others to follow in both attitude and behavior.
Unselfishness Unselfish leaders make decisions that benefit as many as possible, without worrying too much about themselves. They look out for the welfare of their teams beyond simple job descriptions, legal concerns, and even their own personal comfort. And they do this most particularly in difficult situations.
Courage Courage is never an easy commodity to find, whether it’s disciplining a subordinate, standing up to superiors, or facing swarms of charging enemies. Courage is situational; it lives in the moments when it is required by people who believe in themselves and in priorities beyond personal comfort and the risks of pain or failure. Courage is doing what’s right, adhering to a higher standard of personal conduct; to lead by example and to make tough decisions under stress and pressure. It is the inner strength that enables a Marine to take that extra step.
Knowledge The business of knowing what to do and how to do it lifts the leader above the crowd. Knowledge goes beyond the facts of the job; it is also knowledge of your team: who they are and what motivates them. It is knowledge of the culture in which you work, so that you understand what your superior’s goals and missions are. And is also is self-knowledge: unflinchingly knowing your own strengths and weaknesses, and having a desire to excel. Sharing knowledge with subordinates can feel to some leaders as though they are giving up control, and they may be loathe to do so. In reality, though, leaders are not effective because they are the knowledge holders. Rather, the best leaders are the ones who make knowledge available to their teams and understand how best to deploy that knowledge in the best possible manner.
Loyalty A leader expresses loyalty to his subordinates by supporting their needs and ensuring their welfare in a number of ways. Subordinates express loyalty to that sort of caring leadership by positively and efficiently carrying out the leader’s orders and instructions. Loyalty is the most common expression of aspects of all Marine Corps leadership traits and characteristics. Those who get it express it through dedication and professional performance of duty. The most loyal Marine or employee is not necessarily the one who has held the job longest. Some are simply marking time, with little or no interest in making valuable contributions to the organization.
Enthusiasm When we’re enthusiastic about something, we’re willing to sacrifice for it. People who are enthusiastic about a cause will sacrifice time and money for it. People who are enthusiastic about their jobs will make personal sacrifices to spend time at work and educate themselves to do a better job. Men and women who are enthusiastic about being Marines understand that sacrifice might come at a very high price. Even when the requirements are difficult, enthusiastic leaders set aside any negative aspects of the mission and focus on the positive energy they can bring to the table. It’s not easy. It takes more than a little self-discipline. But it works, and a show of enthusiasm often leads to truly inspirational behavior.
1.Know yourself and seek self-improvement. 2.Be technically and tactically proficient. 3.Develop a sense of responsibility among your subordinates. 4.Make sound and timely decisions. 5.Set an example. 6.Know your people and look out for their welfare. 7.Keep your people informed. 8.Seek responsibility and take responsibility for your actions. 9.Ensure assigned tasks are understood, supervised, and accomplished. 10.Train your people as a team. 11.Employ your team in accordance with its capabilities.

Ask their rival. Also google search the seniors in that program, most will have highlight film out there on HUDL so that will give you some. Google their highlight film from the seasons, lots of teams do this and post it for parents, and lots of parents then repost on youtube....if you dig hard enough you can find film on just about anybody. Now it wont be a whole game, but you can still find clips and get a solid picture.

Ripon does most NFL teams, they just sew on the swoosh. Great thing about Ripon is the keep your uniform on file FOREVER....so in 10 years if you need to fill in you can or if you want to go to a retro look you can. Great people, Great company, High quality uniforms. Just tell them what you want and they will make it happen..RIPON is the way to go

This isn't rocket science. 1st off life isn't fair, so stop trying to make it fair. Its very simple, you break the state into equal regions and then equal conferences based on school size. Winning records get in, losers dont. But because we want things fair and to give everyone a chance...blah...blah..blah, we get this crazy crap. Also where is your integrity as a MAN, if you are the HC of an 0-9 or 1-8 team, then be a man and tell the powers to be "we dont deserve to be in the playoffs we didnt EARN it" and bow out. Isnt part of this whole football coaching thing supposed to be about teaching these kids to be MEN.

You know in Hard Knocks they always showed the guy getting cut. When the Rams were on the Amazon Prime series and fired Jeff Fisher there was no footage. Except Fisher at the compound seeing the team bus off for a game....so i would figure its pretty professional and non-confrontational...

Kids quit because its not fun. So if you have bad coaching at the lower levels and they dont make it fun, doesnt matter how many clinics you do. Development and FUN, if that is not the focus of your lower levels you will not maintain numbers. Nobody remembers their 8th grade football record, everyone remembers their senior year! And until you get JoeyLombardiSaban at the youth level to understand that you will have issues.
