3 deep / 3 under pressure defense as a base really if at all possible. You can do some pretty amazing things with pattern match cover 3

I coach for a women's team, so a lot of male name terms we often hear associated with certain calls or terms are feminine names. Our spread 2x2 instead of calling dubs, or doubles, is "Deb." A couple ideas I've had on late nights, a few drinks in... * Do your no huddle or card communication in a foreign language: Teach the kids a language while they play football. I'm also a Star Wars geek, and have wanted to write plays on cards using Aurebesh (the standard language/alphabet used in the Star Wars universe). I figure someone from the other team will know it, but not to the extent that they could translate and communicate it to the other team in time. * Use more academic topics to communicate play names to help kids learn other things in practice. Like, if you wanted to get really anal, teach Geography by having European nations be certain plays, while African nations are another series of plays. * Some programs already do this I'm sure, but eliminate all stretching/warm-ups, and instead use individual sessions as warm-ups. WR's warm up by doing stance and starts, catching/hand exercises, then work other calisthenics into the drills. Centers and QB's do snaps then do initial steps of core plays, etc. Stretching/warm-up is necessary, but I hate it to a point where I'd rather just find ways to have players use play/skill reps as their warm-ups if I can do it. One of my biggest coaching pet peeves is when you have limited practice time, and as a result, coaches cut out the basic fundamentals simply because players should already know them. I'd rather work on the "day 1" fundamentals every day than do warm-ups. * When I was in high school, and I'm sure we weren't the only ones, we would practice/prep for Wing-T and Double Wing teams by the scout offense playing without a football. The ball carrier would carry a coin, and the defense had to use their keys to find the ball carrier. Then the ball carrier would reveal the coin after the play was done. I think it was a brilliant tactic, and it was also a lot of fun; made it like a game within a game. You aren't far off with some of your ideas. I know of a successful coach in Ohio who taught his team the numbers 1-10 in Polish. They were hurry up no huddle and everything was called at the line in those numbers, they scored over 600 points in 10 games. Genoa High School. He got the idea from a school in Michigan who was predominantly Arabic community and thus called everything at the line in Arabic. Teams in AZ have used Spanish for decades this way as well.

I had a question. I'm a first-time OC at the HS level. In a no-huddle, higher-tempo offense, do you prefer the box or the sidelines? Any advice would be appreciated. If you’re not the HC, I generally would advocate being in the box for both OCs and DCs. Let’s you see the whole game, pick up on subs, and better view of line play.

I hate to bring NFL stuff onto the board, I feel it cheapens it as being a fan site. But last week a RB for the Seahawks suffered a knee injury after being tackled from behind via a Gator Roll tackle. Apparently their coach and a number of players were complaining about it on social media and calling for a fine and suspension, I don't have twitter so maybe someone else here would know better of the situation. My question is, do you teach this method of tackling? Do you feel its a dirty or risky technique? I get there is a difference between HS and the Pros, so its not a direct correlation, but think its a valid discussion topic. Only dirty because guy was basically tackled. It was the equivalent of an ankle pull at the bottom of a pile. Gator roll tackles also start higher, usually around the knees

Just to verify, the school these kids are at is in a part of the state that has had VERY few cases. Very rural to say the least. There are a lot frustrated folks around here due to the fact that our area is being treated the same as the northern counties where the larger cities are. Matter of when rural areas get hit hard, not if. Rural NEOH is getting hit hard right now, especially Lake County. The hardest hit areas in Arizona are the rural counties like Santa Cruz and the Res counties up north. All this is just gonna make it worse as people leave to try to get to other states to play football.

Sometimes we continually do something that doesnt work because ‘plan-b’ is far worse. Example we are only getting 1 yard a carry running to the left, but if we ran to the right we’d lose yards and probably get someone hurt. I caught alot of flak this year for not throwing the ball. " always running the same old plays." What the fans dont see is that we COULD NOT THROW OR CATCH. It was a waste of time. I wish they could have witness one segment of nk practice where we went 3 for 20 against AIR... Nothing like being the WR coach in this situation... we spun it to the players by becoming the best run blocking WR corps, calling them Flex Ends, etc. we were lucky that we were able to get a few catches on big plays because teams would basically Load 9-10 on the line and we would hit a slant/ pop pass.

Coaches How much time do you give yourself away from the game once your season has ended? Yes I know there is a ton of wrap up stuff to do like equipment inventory, exit interviews, evaluations, etc. but once all that is done, do you give yourself time away? Do you steadily decrease or what? Our season ended Nov. 2, I just finished my 5th season as a HC, I still find myself watching our film, clinic film, making notes etc. for next year...I have a wife and 3 year old at home and some health issues to address but I feel like if I just all of the sudden stop working, we will not improve as a program...advice? normal? The intensity of the work ethic is very commendable, what about releasing a little more responsibilities to your assistants, especially OC/DC? Basically tell them what you want them to do or research and treat it like a jigsaw. Will save you time and let you tackle the health issues and have a family life. Y’all can meet once or twice a month for a beer and report out and get the research that way. It helps them learn in the process and develop skills as well. You’re not “grinding enough” you’re just being smarter about it especially if you are in the weight room after school regularly

Just looking at the 6A Quarter final score in Arizona #8 Desert Ridge 35 #1 Red Mountain 49 #5 Highland 24 #4 QueenCreek 27 #6 Desert Vista 70 #3 Perry 63 #15 Mountain View 28 #7 Liberty 45 Just wondering if anyone plays defense anymore. Scores from many of our different divisions are similar. Anyone seeing something similar to this or is this just a Grand Canyon State aberration?? Growing up the only places that seemed to play defense were either up on The Mountain or Sunnyside and Amphi in Tucson. A lot of it comes to division of labor and player ability discrepancies. Many teams stock their O with stud players and keep them off defense. Many teams in Tucson area play too complicated defensive schemes combined with a refined machine of spread and RPO concepts since you can basically 7on7 all year round at least South of Flagstaff. Traditionally schools like Sabino, Salpointe, Sunnyside, Safford, and the White Mountain schools won a lot because they played tough, sound defense and put best players on defense.

I think if you look at the good and bad of a powerhouse it can be very helpful if you choose then to go to a program with lots of areas of growth. Take what worked, not let what didn’t and you should be good. If your powerhouse had a good OL, become the OL coach’s shadow. If you “out athleted” teams with a decent or poor OL create your own good rules and clinic with good coaches. Really look at how practice was organized, how the workout plan was created, and how they teach OL/ DL. If you get good at those three areas you can take a weaker, possibly door mat team and turn them around.

A 10-1 looks like this: 4 guys in the A and B gaps, penetration and stuffing their gap 2 guys playing wide contain-nothing outside 5 guys manned up on the eligibles C0 all the time (there are changeups, but that's the base), it has the offense matched up on numbers everywhere they try to go. It's a way of life. If you run a 35/52/53 think of it like running short yardage/ goal line 62 cover 0 defense.

If it's the look that wildcatslbcoach24 posted earlier, we faced an opponent who did similar stuff last week. They played a lot of quarters coverage and blitzed the front around in unusual ways. Focus on identifying the coverage and attacking its weak points with your play calls. To run the ball, go off tackle or outside. If you have a TE or two, use them to help unbalance things for the odd front. We struggled because they were very talented and fast across the board, especially up front (our LT literally got thrown into the QB a few times), but things we had some success with were screens and getting into 3X1 and 2X2 and attacking the flats while #1 and #2 ran off the coverage. A streak by #1, skinny post by #2, and an out or wheel route by #3 were good to us, even when #3 was a RB, and so were floods that created a 3 level stretch with a streak, deep out, and short out underneath. That was there all night, but the opponent was just so much faster than us that they'd rally to make tackles for minimal gains when we'd complete them. For blocking, make sure your OL keep their eyes in the right place and use good footwork and depth on their pass sets. We went BOB against it and allowed our uncovered guys to help their inside teammate with eyes in the outside gap. If an edge rusher was walked up with a covered T to give the possibility of 2 off the edge, we had the OL make a call to alert the G that they may need to switch off. Screens are great because the OL can get downfield and just let all the stunting up front sort itself out. For runs, focus on meat-and-potatoes stuff with eye discipline, much like the pass protection. Cut down your OL splits if you're having a hard time picking up the stunts and blitzes. Power and Counter are good. So is Outside Zone. IZ can be problematic because of the compressed space. Using a TE and going 11 personnel is likely to get a 4 man line, but it can help get angles for those sort of plays. I agree with 3/4 of this, if they run with true Nickel/ 33 personnel it can be easier to run on them. If they go a heavier look with OLBs at the Spurs or go more of a 52?look and play heavily match cover 3 and 0 it will be harder to run on them. If you’re a zone team then run your game, but unless you are superior on the line it’s gonna feel like a lot of 3 yds and a cloud of dust if they shift to a Bear or Tite front. This is a TE/ multi H back kinda game; 21 and 22 personnel is your friend and give a TE/ Wing or H back aligned just inside the TE and run the hell out of outside zone or stretch. Gap scheme is actually superior scheme vs these defenses as you can down or double their DEs in most alignments and Tee off on a hybrid overhang running power, counter, counter GT. Inside hit them with Trap. That said if their interior 4 (Mike, TNT) are war daddies or a top level wrestling team guy it will be a tough one. If you run this defense I would say be cover 3 and either 0 or 1. Cover 4 leads to a good coverage but can leave you in spots that are hard vs power run teams. I would put my smartest player with some speed at middle Safety/ FS, fastest athletes but okay football guys at corner, and best athletes at Overhangs and Sam and Will backer. I would play my safer types at Sam and Will and play my OLBs as overhangs as you end up with a 53 Monster shell, but with speed and size to attack. You can play some games with bumping out spurs but play them more like 3-4 OLBs and have same and Will cover the slots/#2s. Still have best hybrid guys on WRa but this allows you to have 6 guys in the box (5 on the line and your your mike) vs teams that run 2x2. It is even better vs 3x1 because you can keep 7 in the box and force the throw, especially vs RPO teams.

Structurally it’s a 33/ 53 shell. Speed moves down, hybrid safeties at OLB and spurs. D LINE either war daddies or can be your 185 to 225 wrestler types of explosive. Will go more in depth in a bit. San Diego State and ASU run this defense (same DC).

I believe it was two kids (if I remember what I looked up elsewhere). But I guess thats kind of the question I'm wondering; how many kids make it where you punish the whole team? 1 kid, 2 kids, when do we say everyone suffers for the action of the few? In this case, I don't think it was cancelled because of a punishment. It was cancelled because of the tensions and unrest in the community and fear of it leading to violence. THIS is exactly what I am saying and why the cancellation(s) we have talked about have ensued. All it takes is a few students in the stands or some asshat adults to boil it over and make the game a dangerous situation.

There needs to be a little more context, but generally aside from the horrific remarks there is added tension that goes beyond the racist remark(s). If one school involved is traditionally a Sundown community or of the racial / religious majority and this happens against a a minority community there is fear of community wide reprisals and violence. Remember football is, whether we like it or not, a form of ritualistic combat for many communities. Upper middle class/ Rich vs. Poor or working class; white vs. minority; religion 1 vs. religion 2 (ex Mormon community vs other Christian sect, or catholic vs Jewish community). The community has to do what they did or they are giving implicit consent to what the players, representing their community, did for all the world to see on social media. I get the dynamic of it being a community with a demographic who is in power vs those who have been traditionally disenfranchised; but would kicking the offending player off the team be sufficient in this case? Or is it assumed that the single player who made the statement represents the team as a whole, and as such the team as a whole (and by extension all team members) are guilty of making the comments? Not trying to get into an argument or be facetious but it wasn’t a single player, the article says “A racist video that featured a few Buckeye High School football players went viral Tuesday night.” So it wasn’t just one kid. We will chew a kid out or kick a kid off a team for way less, when several players do that and create an unsafe situation via a social media message we gotta send a message. We live in a day and era where kids threats and racial slurs have to be taken seriously. Remember schools only integrated nationally 62 years ago. When you call people racial epithets it’s a threat to their existence. In a state like Louisiana it makes complete sense what the school board did.

Look, I am not trying to diminish anyone's race based struggles, or the history of racism which has been prevalent in our society; so please don't take my question to be doing so. Nor am I trying to justify what the players did, or diminish their actions. I am simply trying to figure out where the tipping point or line is between- punish players and let them play, suspend the specific offending players, and cancel game? I can't find the video online; the most detailed description of the video I have come across claims that one player used the "N-Word twice", while others used vulgar language in a clip that totaled 10 seconds. Now I am not asking what everyone's opinions on society are, or what we think should happen, rather what is the reality for people in their various situations? Does one kid, posting a video using a racist slur once equal an automatic cancellation? What if there were no racist slurs, could that same type video lead to a cancellation? I have been party to some fairly intense rivalies where gang violence, weapons, and arrests were quite common, yet these games never got cancelled. Is it simply the use of a racist term or is it more? There needs to be a little more context, but generally aside from the horrific remarks there is added tension that goes beyond the racist remark(s). If one school involved is traditionally a Sundown community or of the racial / religious majority and this happens against a a minority community there is fear of community wide reprisals and violence.

Poquoson is about 97% white. York isn't. Poquoson has a reputation as a "sundown" community going back years. It looks like the school leadership is trying to clean up their reputation but the old school Bubbas aren't interested. I'm not sure that we saw the same video. The one that I saw was longer than 9 seconds and when the kid kept repeating "Phuk n-----s" it came through pretty clearly. There's two videos in the link provided above. The first is a 2-minute news segment. The other is a 9-second video of some white kid dropping the "N"-bomb but I can't really tell what he is yelling about. Again...I'm not trying to minimize what the kid did, but it just seems excessive to cancel an entire game over a couple dumbasses. How about just kicking those kids off the team? Because I have seen school wide knock down, drag out fights/ riots for much less serious offenses than this, and I am talking pre - social media era, too. I have seen parents and adults fight kids at schools over what has been posted on social media. The stuff spreads like wildfire and can lead to fights, racist/ homophobic chants, and violence. I mean you can look at the Elder / St. X basketball game last year to see how this stuff gets outta hand. www.google.com/amp/s/www.wlwt.com/amp/article/elder-students-heard-chanting-racial-homophobic-slurs-during-basketball-game/16651510Was involved in a pre social media game as a player back in the early 2000s where other team was making racist remarks all game and at the end of the game they lined up for a KOR and had their 3 biggest guys jump our kicker while yelling $@@& the dirty (racial Mexican slur). Led into an all out stands and sideline clearing brawl where the other team’s HC actually led what looked like Pickett’s charge on our sideline.

What in the covefefe apologist type of excuse is this? A district wouldn’t go to this extreme unless there was serious racist, religiously intolerant, and/or homophobic language used by multiple players; most likely using contextual clues for the area this happened, the N word and other slurs were used. Stop apologizing for “casual” racism and normalizing with boys will say stupid s$&& excuse! Those “stupid” boys grow up to be men who exercise this prejudice and racist outlook on life that affects them, their families and people of color around them. They grow up and rally on college campuses with tiki torches yelling “blood and soil”; more insidiously they often gain positions of power where they have the fate of people of color in their hands. All this technology has done is forcing people to see the ugly underbelly of America’s race problems. I don’t think they would forfeit the gate ticket for a few bigots/ racists making comments; most likely it was enough guys to be suspended that they decided to forfeit. Whether you realize it or not you are creating an excuse for abhorrent behavior. The use of racial slurs has been used to oppress ethnic and racial minority groups in America for centuries. You might say I am a “snowflake” about this, but we live in a day in age where we still have lynchings and the murder of people of color in America daily. Racism in America is not a symptom of something wrong in America, but rather that the system was created to oppress large swaths of the population. It was engrained in our national identity as far back as 1619 and is still deeply entrenched under our cultural veneer of a “color blind” society. The use of the N-word by rappers and black / Afro-Latino people is following a long line of re-appropriation of racial slurs in America it’s similar to how Polish, Irish, and Italian communities turned racial slurs, back when these ethnic groups were not considered “white”. For historical context this only happened as recently the late 70s / early 80s when WASPS vested white privilege to these ethnic groups in return for fighting against bussing and the next wave of Deseg. I would love for us to unpack this in a civilized discussion and could provide anyone interested in learning more with tons of academic resources, books, and other articles. You're right. You sound like a snowflake. Nope sound like someone who has grown up on the US-Mexico border in a law-enforcement and military family, who will openly talk about how our system is specifically created to target and oppress minority groups. I have very basic understanding in race and power dynamics in the Western Hemisphere. It’s funny how easily people will talk about the opression and discrimination their ethnic European ancestors face yet can’t have the same understanding for people of color in America.

Ok The COP in me has some questions. What was this "racial" slur? What context was it said? In this day and age where racial and racism is thrown around just because someone doesn't like someone else or someone else's politics I look at these with a colored lens. Having been accused of this 100s of times simply because I wore a Blue uniform, a badge and carried a gun. I need more info. I also do not subscribe to the punish all for the mistakes of one or the few. Punish the offender(s). You have the video, you know who they are. This isn't a case of not knowing who did it so punish all until someone rats the group out. This is cut and dry. Kick the offender off team, why punish the kids that didn't act like motards? I agree I try to keep my kids off social media, but its hard. What doesn't make it any better is when a pro athlete like Antonio Brown calls his Boss a racial slur and instead of punishment he gets 20 million dollars...kids see this... Also rappers and other entertainers can throw around the "N" word all day and they get a pass, because of the color of their skin. Isn't that the definition of racism? This is poor leadership!

Shirts are good, and we've done those before at previous places, but I prefer things that kids will wear for multiple days. Builds your brand and gets more kids interested. We got some of the big rubber bands made, those work really well and are very cheap. Another thing that we tried this year that I think is good is backpacks. String backpacks are cheaper than tshirts, you can get decent backpacks for pretty cheap too. If a kid is wearing a backpack that says "future ______" every day to school that's a great way to build your brand. If you’re a one HS district , or have a set group of feeder schools Hoodies or sweaters would really help with this. I know several schools purchase hoodies for K8 grades

Varies state by state and often if your district is open or closed enrollment. If you're a small town team outside of Tucson or one of the farm towns between Cleveland and Toledo you probably can do that as recruiting isn’t as big a thing. Closed enrollment districts would be able to do this as well I would assume. Gets trickier in bigger metro areas like Cleveland, Phoenix, and Tucson where recruiting kids can and does happen; Catholic and private schools seem to get a pass on this anywhere it’s seems, though. Just know your state rules and make sure your CYA’d if you give them out.

Hello all, I was wondering how you all pitched upgrades for weightrooms to school administrators? The school that I coach track at needs a major overhaul of their weightroom. It is very out of date and I worry about liability issues due to this along with us not giving our student-athletes the proper training they need. They have 3 or so squat racks and 3 benches and a mismatched assortment of free weights and machines. If our school had a decent weightroom we could build dominant football, wrestling, and track programs. There are a couple of interesting challenges to this process:
- The School has 3 “small schools” inside of it that coop for sports, that’s 3 admin teams to talk to (I believe) and an AD to convince
- urban Ed school, have to pitch the “why” part of spending the money on this and not other items
How have you pitched to AD and admin the need for weightroom improvements? Any suggestions on companies to work with to get best bang for buck AND still get quality equipment? Are there any grants to put in for that could help reduce the schools’ out Of pocket expenses? Would it make sense to reach out to pro- sports or college teams for refurbished equipment?
