i was doing the same thing today i hate the postcard kind for the same reason and for the fact that i already have all of the stuff printed out on a nice excel file that someone can read as opposed to my handwriting
i just fold the postcard over with the printout inside--staple it, and send it on its way
kinda hoopty lookin, but whatever--get the info to em and get it to them in a safer way for the kids and your staff so their info doesn't get stolen as easily

depends on how small the town is and how many other isd's there are in the area and how big they are---likelihood of them having an opening that fits what your wife teaches
in initial phone conversations with people about hc jobs in certain areas i ask them this---if there isn't anything for her at the district i will be in and there isn't much within communiting distance--then i just tell em thanks but no thanks
not worth being away from her over

Well I am a HC and if I made the choice that we were going to go to a clinic and install a system after attending....I would not want an assistant on my staff that would not buy in and learn the new system. If you came to me out of the blue and said we were going to do this, you wouldn't have to worry about me being on staff. I wouldn't be there. If after we discussed it and decided to go to a full system clinic as something we needed to do together, and then it was your final call ok, let's go. But to truly take the whole can? What am I ? chopped liver? What are you? do you need justification to keep your job? hey we run such and such it has been proven to be the most superawesomest offense out there? (maybe, maybe not for your kids though) If after we discussed it and decided to go and over a period of time evolved into something then that is a staff that is truly going to learn and grow together. If and when I ever get a hc job I would never install an entire canned offense. I will have hired an oc that I trust and respect and we along with the rest of the offensive staff will learn about what we think we need to in order to adapt to the talent on hand togther. I believe in the offensive staff getting input so there is more output. To hand them an offense in a can and say here, learn this is not the way I would want to do it.

lol
huey says--- are you really that arrogant to think you solved football's riddle?
i say---if you wanna spend $3000 to go have at it, knock yourself out, if i was on that staff and was told to go and that we would install the entire such and such whizbang in a can, i would tell the boss no and find another job, i might not have in other situations in the past, but the situation and the knowledge base i have now, hell no
it would be disrespectful on the hc's part to do so in my mind
i will not
maybe i am just cheap
as for no one paying me $3000? um no don't care about that---i give out my football stuff freely to anyone that asks and would never really consider trying to make money on it

ok
this one is from airplane 2
but this is the funniest line i have ever heard
Steve McCroskey: Jacobs, I want to know absolutely everything that's happened up till now. Jacobs: Well, let's see. First the earth cooled. And then the dinosaurs came, but they got too big and fat, so they all died and they turned into oil. And then the Arabs came and they bought Mercedes Benzes. And Prince Charles started wearing all of Lady Di's clothes. I couldn't believe it.
and with that
this thread is now locked
sorry to eaglemountie
i know better than to throw airplane quotes around on a message board

*** there is nothing like going to a 'big-name' clinic to hear a particular speaker, only to arrive and that coach not make it............... now what? lol i tend not to go to those been to enough over the years and talked to enough people to know who to see and who not to see i go see em at whatever kind of clinic it is and then if i am interested i go see them more in person if they are too bigtime to talk with me in person about it if i wanted to visit or want to charge me for that visit lol then i probably wouldn't enjoy talking with them much or learn much from them anyhow

you stand by your reasoning for opining on a thread, simply to bad-mouth those that DO attend system clinics? PS - buy my DVD and read my books.....lol op asked what would you want i said i wouldn't even consider it i probably should have clarified--i wouldn't consider going to just "take the whole thing home" those that would go with this in mind, yeah--there is a stigma to it and yeah i agree with why there is one you and i both have seen enough of those guys around here over the years

i wouldn't want to work with guys that are all excited about that and that would be the majority of what they know, and wouldn't participate in that kind of deal with all respect, I don't know that anyone has ever said that your approach is 'wrong' - just curious if there really is a need to continue to voice the displeasure / disagreement with others to have a different mindset. Again, not making an apology/argument for 'systems', I just don't see the need to always chime in to create the stigma of it. If you are allowed to have an open mind, can you allow others to have an open mind (or do they all have to think 'like' you)? I think that was the point. i didn't think anyone had said what we do was wrong and wasn't offended i stand by what i said put it this way if my hc said--hey we are going to go to this system clinic and we are going to install it lock stock and barrel guess what i am not working there any more i know plenty of people that think the same way and since this is a message board i will say so just like anyone else can say what they think

i can get for free by going to visit with people that will share that info why go to a clinic at all? Why not just go to a campus visit? What is wrong with going to a clinic AND ALSO visiting a campus? why would i want to go to a clinic and pay money for that which is freely given and discussed and shared? why go to a clinic at all? If you are running one-back zone and you really want to get better at it.... how it is wrong to go to a clinic devoted to the one-back zone, but acceptable to visit a school that runs this 'system'? I think folks should do what they feel comfortable with, however the stigma of 'system' is a little misguided (IMO) and I'm not making an apology for 'system way to go'. There really isn't much TO systems to begin with. It is just creating standardized parts in an offense/defense, making trouble-shooting that much easier and uniformed. It is a lot easier fixing / tweaking a car when all the parts are systematic and uniformed, rather than a hodge-podge of fixes and duct tape....well, 'what is wrong' could be any number of things. i go to clinics with some variation and listen to the topics i want but we all know the real cooperative learning takes place in the hotel after the clinic if there is something specific that I want to learn, i would rather go ask and work with people that do it---being in a one or two day learn our whole offense type setting is ok if one would go with the mindset of just picking things up and melding it into what you do going to a system going with the mindset of "we are going to install this whole thing" because it is the whizbang offense that so and so runs--no i wouldn't want to work with guys that are all excited about that and that would be the majority of what they know, and wouldn't participate in that kind of deal we don't need to tweak the structure of how we organize plays and stuff--so no fixes or duct tape there, we won't be switching to any system, much less one that is more cumbersome than our streamlined one

Is no one going to address the "I don't see why some coaches attach such a negative stigma to system clinics" question? all of the things brophy talks about i can get for free by going to visit with people that will share that info why would i want to go to a clinic and pay money for that which is freely given and discussed and shared? i would much rather go talk with people that can question me about where we are and what we are doing and then between us we might find some ideas about how to integrate something they are doing x and o's wise or teaching fundamentals, organization, whatever than go to a system clinic and just take that home lock stock and barrel wow this is now the only thing i know and this is the way to run it just kinda closes the doors of what is out there closes the mind and makes people say "such and such offense that isn't the rage" sucks

i guess i look at it like this
when i go somewhere to talk ball i don't go with the intention of taking the whole system home with me and using that
i did learn some football and have some beliefs before i went there
if i go visit somewhere i am looking for specific things that we can implement into our talent variable system

I was meeting with Will Muschamp the other day [ pick up that name] and he was telling me about their quarters reduced fraction defense to triangulate the spread. Naw, but in all seriousness, Nick Saban was telling me over brunch last weekend, that name-dropping is so passe'. I mean, when Mike Tice was going over zone combos with us last summer, I was telling him to check out this site. don't you talk down to me boy i have been coaching for 47 years and won 53 state football championships by the way does anyone have a copy of the tulsa offense if so please send it to me with no strings attached and no work on my part to coachloserboy1112020202020002269@gmail.com

we did a lot of thinking and discussed a lot about why other sites were the way they were
then we figured out how we wanted to set it up so it would not be like that
quite proud of it actually
