Well we’re they bad questions/answers? That sh!t happens here as well and it’s usually earned Watching videos of a pretty good Gun Wing T team run their Bucksweep. On a few plays, I notice a 9 tech giving the WB problems on the down block and messing with the timing of the BSG's pull. It's a highlight film so the back still goes big but he's outrunning his blocker. So I post: "How do you guys handle a 9 tech coming up field hard?" The response I get from the OP "Our WBs can handle most 9 techs we see on the Bucksweep. If they can't, we don't run it." So, he's answered the question, I don't feel that there's going to be a productive conversation and I tap out. Another coach, however, doesn't feel that way and posts a video of his team running Down from the gun. And the chit storm ensues and five coaches are arguing over a) how expensive Down is, b) why it is or isn't necessary to have an answer to an aggressive DE, c)how a bubble handles aggressive DEs (WTF?) d) why gun Wing T coaches shouldn't call themselves Wing-T. And on and on. Oh, so not to you specifically. You asked a question and it turned into a pissing contest. I get you now.

Shame on you guys for questioning tweeter users Not really questioning them. I still use Twitter and think it’s an excellent resource but I also can tell who is full of sh!t and who isn’t

There is nothing wrong with someone trying to make money on social media. I do feel bad for the younger guys that get swindled by the know nothings though. It was really fun when it first started and everyone was sharing ideas and knowledge. I still talk to a few guys I met on there about stuff but I rarely participate on Twitter unless it’s some bullchit. What is a bummer is that some of the free services that I used in the past now come with a fee. Yeah, I respect the hustle. I was actually half serious about selling my templates. But, I'm with you about people getting swindled. You can't just buy something without vetting it to see if the knowledge is legit or helpful. The problem is unless you have a pretty decent knowledge of what’s right and wrong then you don’t know who is full of sh!t. On a side note the YouTube “influencers” are killing me. There are some dumb sumbitches making content there

I also hate when coaches are preaching and preaching, obtain all of these followers who continue to fluff their ego (OMG congrats coach!!!!) and don't follow back or ever want to share ideas. As if they have some type of online fame. Dude, you aren't Saban, Dabo, Urb, etc. Chill out. Or book guy. Or website subscription guy. "Hey coach, what's that first step look like for __________________ technique?" "It's in my book available on Amazon." I also saw a high school RBs coach write a book on the 4-2-5 and never shares one lick of defensive related material. Basically just drew a defense for dummies. I need to get into the book business and self promote. I've created so many templates and crap over the years that someone will buy it. Rant over.

Virtue signaling on both sides. Neither side is fully in touch with reality. The answer is always somewhere in the middle.

We have separate periods for all of them. 7th grade is what it is. We do our best. Jr high is 1st period here so we have them come in a little early and get about 1:30 a day with them. Sr. High is last period and after school. We will bring some 9th graders back after school if we need some extra bodies. If I knew your specific situation I may be able to help. We had to practice jr high with high school some this year because I was installing a new offense here with limited time due to covid. We have 4 coaches total and 1 of those shouldn't be a coach We will have both groups (7th and 8th) and (9-12) after school. We will have approx. 30 middle school kids and 40 9-12. We have 4 coaches as of today but hoping on at least 1 more. We don't the luxury of any school time with any of the groups. I'm guessing, if it comes to it, that we'll have to do individual periods all together and then split group and team periods up and divide up coaches. I'm hoping it doesn't come to this but trying to prepare for if we don't find anyone. Yeah. That’s a lot of kids of different levels. I would lift/film with the 9-12 with 1 guy and coach 7-8 with 3. Shouldn’t need more than an hour total for them. Then have 9-12 with all 4

We coach 7-12 football as do all in small school ball around here How do you organize practices? How many coaches do you have total? Also, when you're doing individual (I assume all together) how do you spend time so your older kids are getting quality reps and you're not spending all the time on the youngsters since they need so much more instruction? Thanks. We have separate periods for all of them. 7th grade is what it is. We do our best. Jr high is 1st period here so we have them come in a little early and get about 1:30 a day with them.

coachdawhip While true, I think info like that is cart before horse type of things. Teams that are winning games are playing better. Playing better means making explosive plays and not turn the ball over. I think coaches, especially HS would do better to monitor things that impact the play as opposed to focus on outcomes. I disagree.
Analytics are Analytics... I think knowing what to chase is better than just chasing ghosts.
We spend time on P&10, because I have 7 years of data that proves my team scores more when we get 4 plus on 1st down. SO we emphasize it in gameplanning and practice.
We spend more time working explosive plays for the week, even if on air because sometimes you DO have to manufacture them.
We stress takeaways more on defense, through what we do at practice just as much as turnover circuits.
We practice redzone extended times because we have to score when we get there.
We have talked about and may do more things to prep the middle 8.
Too many coaches say well that's just college stuff
and do Indy group 7on7 / ISR Team
and fail to be successful at critical time.. Football is simple rep the base stuff to sleep and prepare for crunch time (but understanding what is crunch time matters)
I agree. If certain things help outcomes then we should be practicing them. That was my previous point. The numbers themselves mean nothing if you don’t use them to teach

Using just the statistics is useless in my opinion. We emphasize takeaways but use it to teach ball security, pursuit and an awareness to get after the ball.
Which leads us into offensive efficiency and time of possession. On defense we want to get the ball back as soon as we can and on offense we want to run the ball and control the clock.
From there we get into explosives. If we are grinding the defense eventually we are going to hit it big and if we are really clicking we are going to hit it big a lot because they will get desperate.
I do agree with others that the only true statistic is weight room numbers and speed when it comes to accomplishing most goals on the field

We have an older gentleman on staff who rolls his eyes about having a written practice plan and a written list of coaching duties. He says that his generation didn’t need written lists, they just did it. Am I crazy? I’m not a young coach, I have coached for 20 years at 4 different schools and have always had HC’s with written practice plans with well organized practices. One of the most successful coaches in my state doesn’t use one. I was his DC and I used one but he said he didn’t like the time restrictions. He never scoffed at me using one though. Bottom line is if you can coach ball who cares how you do it

We are having issues with our JH coaching. Nobody has done anything wrong, it’s just that we only have 1 person who wants to do it and they are only 20. Needless to say the AD doesn’t think that is only enough to be by himself (I wouldn’t want him by himself no matter his age. Too much responsibility). I was wondering, do any of you HS coaches practice with your JH teams. If not do you / can you practice on the same field? Thanks for any advice! We did this past year because its a cluster fuk around here and we are a small school. Our practice structure allows us to run a practice quickly with a larger team so we brought them back after school for practice. Obviously we didn't have the jr high vs the Sr high but they were able to get reps

Me and my wife used the facemelter to have our first child. She was born in 6 months and could run the 40 in 5 flat electronic timed Your wife would likely say that hurry up speed was used more in the creation portion of your first born, but... 30 sec in heaven is better than none

We played in Arkansas. Had double digit games a week that were cancelled due to Covid. We personally had 2 cancelled. 2nd time was contact tracing took a lot of kids away from the team
Had a few games forfeited in the playoffs due to covid but only one that may have mattered

I still prefer Huey over twitter and I consider myself a young guy at 34. Been coaching about 12 years or so now. That said, I come less because murdr and/or his several alter egos stopped posting about how even if you're bankrupt and living out of your trunk, you must spend $100 or more on a pen because if you interview with a chit pen nobody will take you seriously. That dude was gold!

I like Twitter. Great stuff on there for the most part. I’ve had the opportunity to talk ball with guys from all over. I hate that there is an a$$ kisser vibe on there all the time and few arguments ever happen on football Twitter. I liken it to walking into a cult and you just showed up because you wanted to go to church
I like it here because I can speak more in a tone that I would in our coaches office. It may be just me but some of the best sharing on here happens when there is an argument. That has been on the decline sadly. I have been here long enough to have seen the ups and downs and expect it to go back up
I like the live tweeting games depending on who it is. If you don’t then unfollow them or stay off of Twitter during the game.

Is it normal for Huey to be this slow during the holidays and early offseason right after the conclusion of the season? For a bit now, when I go to check the subforums, there's almost no new posts... Huey has just slowed down in general

The academies are the easy answer of doing more with less.... regardless of who chooses to do what.. They win against teams that have superior talent (is That not the OP question? who wins with lesser talent?) There are a lot of teams that have success with their talent, but not like the Academies. But do they have "lesser talent" than the teams they are beating? If the Cadets/Midshipmen/Zoomies were beating Florida, Oklahoma, USC, Wisconsin etc then yes I would say they are beating objectively better talent. But do Tulane, Temple, East Carolina, etc all have objectively better talent? San diego state, Wyoming, Nevada etc? The academies aren't playing with scrubs. They fast guys are fast, the strong guys are strong, they are all tough, many if not most were the best players on their teams in HS etc. In the case of talent it’s probably closer to the teams they play in conference. They do have to deal with a lack of athletic scholarships and size requirements that other schools don’t have to deal with.

Liberty pays Hugh Freeze 3 mil a year. Monken at Army doesn’t even make 1 mil and libert is winning what recruiting battle? And monken stays at army why? How much more could army pay? Not should necessarily, but could? Well liberty out recruits all the academies. And all of the schools you listed do as well. So at least by star rankings they are coaching better football players than the academies.

I will agree that the academies as an organization can’t really claim doing more with less because they choose to have less. However, they also choose to have a football team and that team has to have coaches. So someone has to coach those teams with the restrictions placed on them. So I don’t see how you can argue that the coaches don’t do less with more. A job needs to be done and they do that job really well It’s not that the coaches that can’t coach. Or that they are bad coaches. It’s both sides choice. To me a better choice would be a liberty u, cc, a Nevada, A Boise state, a Georgia southern... Liberty pays Hugh Freeze 3 mil a year. Monken at Army doesn’t even make 1 mil

I’m actually trying to understand you here. Word of advice. Don't try. I tried to give the benefit of the doubt several years (and multiple screen names for pithy ) ago. While I do now realize that often the broken language and syntax is caused by using a cell phone, it is still not advisable to try to understand most of his aptly named "pithy" replies. I can’t help it

I’m actually trying to understand you here. Are you saying that the coaches choose to be at the academies therefore negating the fact that they do more with less? Both the institutions and the coaches. You don’t credit for doing more with less when you have resources and refuse to use them. You don’t credit as a coach when you take that job. You don’t get credit when you are responsible for the self imposed shortcomings. Resources at power 5 and the academies are not the issue. So coaches who go to an academy or a Vanderbilt, or a Minnesota? You don’t get credit for doing more with less. It’s like taking a hc job in high school where there are very few if any teaching dedicated to those who coach. What do you expect? Same thing with taking a job where you have no facilities. I will agree that the academies as an organization can’t really claim doing more with less because they choose to have less. However, they also choose to have a football team and that team has to have coaches. So someone has to coach those teams with the restrictions placed on them. So I don’t see how you can argue that the coaches don’t do more with less. A job needs to be done and they do that job really well
