We often have games on saturday but I've never had coaches come in on the weekend at all when it's a friday game. That's in almost 40 years. Most coordinators call their coaches if they feel they need to discuss the plan. We lift early on Mondays. I cover that so coaches can meet during that time. I run the offense and it's been the same for a long time. Monday after practice we stay a little while mostly to talk personnel. I've been at a big school and now a small school. Works for us and my staff stays around for many years because they have weekends virtually off. I think they are happier.

I feel longevity and post season pay are necessary to get most coaches to do their best. At my present (small) school there is no post season or longevity. Hard to get good coaches and some (PE) even coach the sport that get's done earliest. I'm retired and love coaching and am doing OK success-wise so I guess they are getting motivated me just because I am. Bonuses? Never heard of it from anyone in upstate, NY. My old school did give post season and when we got to states it was a pretty penny-almost double of the normal season. I needed it then.

i'm 61 and have been retired 5 years. My wife is also. Together we make enough $. I will continue to coach as long as I want to which is strong now. Teaching??? Don't miss that a bit. I run the weights 2-3 days per week out of season but if we want to travel for a couple weeks-no problem. My staff can cover. Most of them are younger and are teaching. Fall is busy but not for me until @ noon or so. My hobby farm keeps me happily busy the rest of the time. (the only negative is i'm on my 5th artificial joint but everything else is good. probably couldn't have kept teaching fulltime even if i had wanted to)

I'm 60 and I still get very excited each fall or I guess I better say spring this year.

It wasn't until I moved myself to the OL that we made a jump in our offense. It's not because I'm any kind of guru. I just pay huge attention to detail and at this time no OL guys are really available. Some have been real good in the past but they move on as head coaches eventually. I'm not saying I don't pay attention to the rest of the "O" but I usually have good guys there. OL for sure.

somecoach. I must have missed it but I'm from NY (upstate) and I haven't heard anything about being able to practice this fall even though the season is in spring. Is that a NYC allowance.

I'm envious. We are a small school and have 2 varsity, 2 JV and 2 modified. (If we have enough for jv)

I'm the same way. 38 years coaching in the fall and now spring. NY also. I'm at a small school and don't see how we can do it with the amount of athletes we share. They need to get rid of the overlap if it will work at all.

In NY if they postpone fall sports they may try to do all 3 seasons after Jan 1st. If so each season will overlap about a month. Tough to do.

Yes money crunch. NY is near bankrupcy from poor financial management.

I hate to admit I'm in NY but it's not looking good. I like the flipping seasons spring and fall but football in New York just isn't important enough for it to be considered-my guess.

Coachd5085-I liked your post because you are right that the "friggin game" argument sounds just like the concussion one. The rest I'm not totally in agreement with. The death rate for those under 50 is like .04. I'm ABSOLUTELY not saying we shouldn't be cautious but taking normal flu precautions and more with the older (me included, I guess) generation I personally think is appropriate. The lockdown was so the hospitals weren't overwelmed. Now most are not. The median death age is higher than life expectancy-yes, take care of the elderly. (I'm not 80 yet). My viewpoint could brand me as an uncaring person. I certainly can survive without coaching for a year, I just don't think we need to be that extreme. I guess I tend to view things logically rather than mostly with emotions. I am what I am.

Had a parent say their kid was a genius, Ivy kid and FB could cause his IQ to drop from any concussion he might get. Big kid who would have started soph year. He's not a genius and he still plays baseball and basketball. I said good luck and didn't look back. He wants to play but Mom is in charge. It is what it is.

Our school is deciding it now. We had technically 1 week before it was stopped. Should we get 1 week? Maybe 2 because of the prep for the season before it actually started. ?

I've written them every week on HUDL. In my situation this may be a great equalizer. Everyone is in the same boat and can't be trained in groups. Many schools have it as a daily class. Now we are closer-comparing apples to apples as I usually say. With that in mind I try to encourage them to train hard on their own to get an edge.

That's easy. First off, I'm a Trump fan. Many of the people near him and on the other political side make me question if their motives are pure. Sorry for the politics and that will be it for me on any more politics. It was just a comment on the handling of the crisis and that obviously affects us. Back to Football.

I still need to be convinced that those in charge are thinking of all of our best interests. Maybe I have cautious skepticism. Probably because I'm oldish.

NY just pushed school back 2 more weeks until the 15th. My guess is spring may be in trouble but summer things return. It might also be regional based on the virus. I have trouble believing they would totally let the economy tank. Just my opinion.

Only real issue I've had is that other coaches see weight training as football out of season. Until an AD makes everyone do it, things won't change. With the schools in NY shut down right now nobody can lift with their kids and they can't go to gyms to lift either. BUT everyone is in the same boat so apples to apples. If all teams had to lift, I believe more kids would play multiple sports because they couldn't "avoid" the lift requiring ones. For me, if the kids are strong enough to not get hurt as much and maybe gain some speed from it, the rest is on me and my staff to coach them.

Our practice on Monday is weights and film for the kids. We meet as a staff after that on Mondays. Coaches know what to prepare over the weekend on their own. On offense I pretty much get 4-6 key plays on HUDL ready to critique them. 20 minutes usually and the d the same. Some may meet with each other over the weekend, but otherwise nothing on weekends. We do have some saturday games, though.

Not totally on point but today-this week-we had a pretty good turnout. Between seasons. I brought in a bunch of snicker bars and told my veteran guys that any PR in front of me will get them a snickers. They went nuts and 1 kid who was after school for extra help heard and hustled down. Lots of PR's. I'll go broke but something so little pumped them up. Fun day. Sometimes I forget they are still kids.

I'd bring our kids to 7 on 7's if we only played defense.

Just a guess but staffs that allow coaches to have most of the weekends off to plan at there own schedule tend to stay together coaching longer. I guess it's a "DUH" but I've had very little turnover of coaches-not constantly re-teaching new guys all the time.
