really? if my college "coach"allowed this, we would have all hated those guys and with today's rules left in a heartbeat because the "hc" has zero integrity Yes really? Again, if you tell me that Sanders excused these two players (his sons) and told other players "No way, your butt better be in the seat 5 minutes early" then I would say that's pretty screwed up. I haven't heard that was the case. They didn't miss a work out, they didn't miss a practice. AS was stated earlier, they had an opportunity to do something pretty unique and they did it. Keep in mind, your college days are 100% irrelevant coach. In the present day, 5 of the last 7 Heisman Trophy winners were transfers. It is a different time man. I am not going to prejudge and crap on a guy because he is steering INTO trends that ran Saban out. integrity means stuff even now

Why? Because it is a fashion event? What if the two players in question instead were on say the Tonight Show? Or Playing piano with the London Symphony Orchestra? And what is disgusting about flat out saying "Hey, you want to be like pros... then do it like the pros do?" Not sure if it will work or not, but I don't see this as reprehensible. really? if my college "coach"allowed this, we would have all hated those guys and with today's rules left in a heartbeat because the "hc" has zero integrity

1) For the love of all that is Holy, please please please, do not...Spend 50 minutes out of 60 minutes of your clinic talking about your background and previous season's stats, and weight program, and all your guys who have made it to P5 and NFL, and then spend only 5 minutes talking about actual scheme and then 5 minutes on choppy film where you can't even tell what TF is going on. Lol This first one above is the bane of all clinic-goers. This is rule 1, above all others. Some clinic-goers are spending money to fly across the country both to the clinic and back, spending money on lodging for 2-3 nights, spending money to eat out, and spending money to go the clinic. Nobody wants to deal with the above scenario when taking all this into account 2) Depending on what you are talking about in the clinic talk, if it's scheme-related, I recommend picking a few things and be very very specific and microscopic in your focus on those, this as opposed to hitting a bunch of different things at only surface level and end up providing little to no actionable and helpful information 3) As much as possible, have IT issues worked out, have your PowerPoint completely set and ready to go when it's time for you to go live 4) Have a loose script/guide for your talk, and do your best to stick to it. You don't want to get bogged down at a certain point or two, and then when it gets toward the end, you are out of time to discuss whatever you still needed to discuss. It's even worse when the part that gets cut off is the most crucial part of the whole talk...There's been very few clinics in my experience, even by the maestro Nick Saban, where they haven't ran out of time 5) This ties into the IT issues above, but do the best you can to make sure that the film is good quality, it's tough to learn from film when every single time the player in question goes to execute a certain technique, the film skips/is choppy and you can't even see the dam technique... 6) Have a good laser pointer to point to different things on the film. Drives me nuts when coaches say "This guy here, and this guy here", and I have little to no understanding of who out of 11+ guys on the field he is referring to. Bring your own laser pointer, heck bring two just in case, do not count on the clinic to have them... I hope this is helpful for you. Best of luck! great post

It is so curious to me that one of the most often referenced concepts on this message board is that a smart plan is to do something "different" when your program doesn't have all the best players. But what different apparently only means is "when you don't have the best players, you should run an offense that teams with all the best players 45-50 years ago ran". that still holds true being a low integrity {censored} like him? that is timeless as well

To go a bit further regarding the staff changes: I can easily see a conversation such as "Hey Charles, its been pretty well publicized that I am bringing in Warren [Sapp] and I am looking at several other NFL connections." And in return Kelly says "I am an AU alum, I want to be in position to get that job when it opens...not to mention I am a college guy and you seem to be building more of an NFL style organization. It may be best for both if we part ways here" I think that could very well be the impetus behind the staff turnover. As Sanders is growing more experienced with the current D1 Landscape (which is changing on EVERYONE minute to minute, and looks MUCH more like the NFL) his plans might not be what guys who have done things a certain way for 20-30 years want to do. I think it is going to be interesting to see how it unfolds, but rest assured the NCAA Div 1 FBS Power 5 football landscape is far from what guys like Tim Brewster, Charles Kelly, Sean Lewis and Nick Williams etc have been doing for their careers. None of them have really spent much if any time in an environment like today, where we saw: once highly touted Clemson recruit DJ uiagalelei pick his 3rd school in 3 years Arkansas's key offensive player and 3 year starter at QB with over 8,000 yards passing KJ Jefferson move out to UCF Forida's 2nd leading rusher and touchdown leader Travis Etienne go to Georgia Ohio States Starting Quarterback Kyle McCord leave to go to Syracuse Oklahoma's Starting Quarterback Dillon Gabriel leave to go to Oregon Mississippi State's Starting Quarterback leave to go to Washington etc. etc. It is just a different world than the college football world just 3 years ago, and those with deep roots in the college game may not be able to adjust quick enough. We will see. in none of those worlds is anyone that want's to get better says hey let's go play for deion lol, if they doy then then are not a nice word

I don’t see how your bringing up turnover on the staff is an indication of a lack of success THIS year. Red flag in that the way things are being done at CU rubs some the wrong way? Probably. any coach worth his salt is getting the {censored} out of there

it will crater due to lack of integrity In what Universe do you follow division one revenue generating athletics coach? It very well may crater, but citing a lack of integrity in that environment as the reason just won't hunt. And coach, with all due respect, (and you are due a great deal of respect!) I still maintain if Sanders was running an undercenter option offense you and others would be singing praises. thank you but that isn't cool enough these days sadly, and doubt he knows a damn thing about it really

But coach, that happens to many programs each and every year. I have noticed the last few weeks that many things that happen EVERYWHERE are only "things" when they happen at CU. "OH MY GOODNESS.. DEION HAD A PLAYER FLIP!!!!". For a first-year program that according to you was a success, he has had an unusual amount of staff turnover. I wouldn't want to coach there for any amount of money or publicity for future jobs based on hype

So- Year one Sanders was a success at CU correct? Obviously the off the field aspects such as revenue, attention, ticket sales, and interest were clearly better than could be hoped for. But on the field they went from historically bad football 1-11 team with almost a - 30 pt per game scoring differential to a 4-8 team with a scoring differential of just -6.5. A more significant improvement than Matt Rhule had at Nebraska (and beat NEB head to head) While still going 1-8 and placing last in conference, there were only two games with large differentials and one with large differential (compared to last season where only one loss was under 23 points). Nobody should be hanging out blue ribbons to the 2023 CU program, but I think it seems fairly obvious that year one could be labeled a success. And yet prime prep

Hijacked thread warning!The sequel: "Saint Leibowitz and the Wild Horse Woman" wasn't as good a story. Whereas "A Canticle for Leibowitz" had 3 separate well written story and character lines tied together as a history over a long period of time, this is a longer single tale that takes place somewhere during the middle segment of the original story's time period entirely, a little weirder, much angrier, not as good a story. I kept reading it, hoping that it would get better as I went along. It didn't. Not up to the original, IMO. thank you I still think I might give it a try

irishdog CS s73 Wait, so now we are suggesting that there is an underlying conspiracy from Group of 5 ADs and football coaches to direct another AD to order his football coach to not run a particular offensive scheme? Dude, do you honestly ever do anything on this board other than try to pick arguments? I have seriously NEVER heard you ask an X & O question or discuss strategy from the standpoint of trying to learn. I only see you try to cherry pick arguments with the sole intent of debunking what you read. Why in God's name are you so arrogant as to think you are knowledgeable and capable enough to play devils advocate to everything you read here? It takes quite an ego to feel comfy enough to do that w/ regularity. I have no idea why Army isn't running the flexbone when Monken has actually run it w/ the most success once this season and Monken makes the comment "felt like Army football". Somebody posited a theory and I found it interesting. Go troll another thread. Your antics have become boorish. and he monken didn't even run isv

But Army went for 365 on the ground in the "old system" the previous game and Monken said "felt like army football". Just don't get it. I'm going to beat the dead horse one more time, rather than change everything, why not add outside veer? I think it would keep the offense viable. Like someone said above, Harding dropped 55 in the D2 semi's and it going to the National Chip I believe for the 1st time (don't quote me) under the "no cut" rules. SMH Not sure what Army is doing. If Monken's comment "felt like Army football" then as the HC why isn't he running THAT offense? I don't buy his initial reason that the "no cut" rule will hurt the old Army offense. That was a diversion. The rule didn't seem to hurt Army vs. Coastal. I think it's deeper than that. I think it has everything to do with joining the AAC. I bet the AAC coaches/AD's weren't too thrilled with playing the "old" Army offense forcing the Army AD to negotiate with Monken in making some changes in order for the merger to happen. In this day and age of entertainment steering "financial" considerations that seems to be more of a "reason" than a rules change. so sad to see him turn this way just sucks

For O.Line, use a count system. The Center blocks #0, and everyone on the play-side counts from the Center's block to find their counterpart i.e., #1...#2 #3 etc. At the very least you get everyone going in the correct direction. Now, depending on the called play, the Center will be assigned to block Over on certain plays...Right...or left on others. Whomever he calls out is #0. You can add in a rule that tells the O.Linrmen that when they count, and the guy they counted to is a Linebacker...he should pull toward the play. Years ago I did that when coaching Pop Warner...and it worked. gawd no poba for this to me line up, know which direction is playside, done no counting for those kids ever
