We used the heavier rubber rolling balls (college uses them to work with DL on preventing cut blocks) to practice wrong arming pullers and our DL tackling dive on option offenses. We used it sparingly last year.... will be a major emphasis in drill/ indy time next year. Care to elaborate?

Suggested fix: one yard neutral zone. 2015 OVFL JV championship between Myers and Niagara. Myers has a 3 point lead with less than a minute left in the game. Myers goes into victory formation to take a knee. Niagara lines up to play. They blast the centre on the first down, centre was pretty slow to get up as he didn't expect to be Niagara to rush him. Second down, the snap gets off but the QB ends up on the ground due to the rush. This down, Niagara causes a fumble and get the ball back. One yard neutral zone didn't seem to work out too well lol

So basically what I've read is that a bunch of people in here don't like watching film, nor breaking it down, yet on other threads the same people are tired of finishing .500 or less every year. Lets put 2 and 2 together here... Breaking down film is fine. I actually enjoy it. Putting the crap into HUDL is a nightmare. I used to be able to (on average) watch a tape 4 times in about an hour and 20 minutes and get Formations, Plays, Right / Left, Strong / Weak tagged and have the basic breakdown done. Writing things down and putting stick marks on a legal pad. if it was somebody who ran a grab-bag or 150 formations it might slow it down a bit... but hardly every over 2 hours (of actual breakdown). HUDL takes me almost twice as long because I have to wait for clips to load - go back and delete things that it "auto fills" for me. I might still be writing the previous clip when it goes to the next clip and when I finish the input it takes it back a clip. Can't watch it in fast forward (when when you are doing Right / Left (or even strong weak) you can do on a tape. The breakdowns you get are great. Having all that data so accessible is great. It is definitely a tool and that is why I still input the crap. Overall it probably saves time because you don't have to make physical copies of the tape and drive to a tape exchange.... but man does it suck sometimes doing a job in 3 hours that used to be done in 1:30. Why not just put your data into excel then import into HUDL then?

wrong again my friend. both of those jobs I lost as HC, lost my teaching job too. They are not tied together, but they are. here, 1 may be supplemental coaching per-say, but when you get hired to the big dog chair, that teaching job goes with it. besides that, NOBODY is getting rich off a coaches supplement. unless your in South carolina, some georgia and texas. where its not just HS football. not for 100k. you better win or your out! a very well known fla coach went to valdosta ga for 3 seasons. made 100k plus, lived in a house for free, drove a local dealerships truck for free, etc, etc, went to finals in big boy class, lost. made semis and lost the next year, made semis next year and,,,,,was fired.... its not just high school football, maybe in some places. I'd wager a decent sum to say there are only a couple handful of areas in the entire United States where it's more than just HS football. You are the exception to the rule, not the rule itself.

as much as I can agree with just about everything your saying,,,the part that sticks out is the "its just high school football". let me tell ya, its not just high school football. Where I am at, winning is not only a focus, if you dont win and produce on the field in 3 years, you wont make it to year 4. At any school here. Ive been let go at a couple places as the HC. 1 for having a coach follow a player to my school (7 months after the kid left). the school they both left from, we beat the snot out of them and the AD wanted to be a prick and turned us in for.....not filling out the proper form that would allow a coach to follow a kid to a program(kid acutally was deemed homeless family as they got kicked out of their house, which made everyone look stupid for turning us in). state violation, we had to forfiet our 3 wins, fine paid by me, county was upset because it was 3 violations by school(in other sports and football) in 3 years. I was scapegoat. oh, the wins thing. started 0-2 that year then won 3 straight, because of this kid(rolls eyes).... another school I was let go at, complete doormat---75 wins in 30 years!!!----2-8, 1-9, 0-10 3 years prior to me taking over, 2-8, 3-7, 1-9 and I was fired. won more games in 3 years than the school had done in close to 5, but it wasnt enough! its not just high school football for some admin, its college like thinking, if it aint working fire them and start over. have displaced my family several times for jobs its not just high school football, its life for some coaches. rant over. I constantly think about work and get bored relaxing. You know they say some sharks need to keep moving to stay alive, well thats me- but its fun for me and I don't let it stress me out or have trouble sleeping. I think there are a couple things that help me out: 1) I realize less is more in regards to on the field success. I know some guys who install a new O/D each week, so they work themselves to death coming up with it and installing it. Part of it is they think they need it to win, part of it is they need to stay busy and feel the need to implement their work immediately; so they go bonkers doing this stuff weekly and many of them have health issues. I don't buy into the ESPN hype of genius play callers schemes and coaches. Plays don't win games, players do; my teams win because we are sound in techniques work hard to make better athletes and DO WHAT WE DO. 2) Stay regimented: make lunch at this time, work out at this time, go to sleep at this time. Stay true to the schedule and you will keep healthier and worry less. 3) and this is the big one....remember its just HS football; even if you lose games the sun will still come up tomorrow. There was a post here a couple weeks back written by a middle school coach, in which a number of people wrote to the coach to relax 'its just MS football'; well how much more serious is it in HS? The truth is, its not much. My job is to utilize this wonderful game to make hard working, well adjusted, competitive, strong young men for the future; the primary mean is by having them compete for victories. Am I upset if I lose games, absolutely- but I understand I have a bigger task at hand, and I cant do that job if I am giving myself a heart attack. I'm sorry but it IS just high school football. No one is getting rich off HS ball. No one is making life-altering bank off HS ball, in fact you could get a job at McDicks and make more there then the time put into just coaching. You're not likely getting fired from your real job if fired from your coaching job. It is just HS ball

I breakdown video as I go along, esp after I've already done my charting and put together the game plan for the week. After that what else is there to do but practice?
After I've done my weekly prep work it's on players to do their so I will save myself a lot of time later on by being ahead of the curve before game week hits. Nothing worse than trying to breakdown 3-5 games in a cpl day period.

The Grandmother of one of our players was murdered the night before our first game.
There is a bigger game going on out there than the win-loss column on a football.

I've been coaching for a while and have had "smart" and "not so smart" kids throughout. Maybe I'm misremembering the past, but man does it seem like more kids have trouble picking up on things. We did a pretty good job getting our base offense in, but we went to put in a couple wrinkles this week and it was as if the we got hit with the dummy stick. And I'm not talking big changes, these were really small (really like Joe Daniel's 5-minute rule for installing new stuff). We put in a couple new formations w/ a couple "new" plays that used blocking schemes we've already been using. Hit these hard for two days, then went back to the base stuff and we kept having f*** ups. Not everybody, but probably 1/2 the guys. Frustrating.... Anyways, maybe it's not the kids and there something we're doing wrong so I thought I'd pose the problem and see if anybody has good ideas for incorporating new wrinkles into the offense/game plan smoothly. When I first read this I almost agreed because this year we have the football-dumbest group that I've seen in decades. They're not dumb kids-some are Honor Roll students-but they just don't understand the game of football. They're good kids and work hard but we've had to strip the offense and defense down to bare bones because they don't get it. BUT Last year's team wasn't like that. We ran the whole package last year. So, I wouldn't exactly call this a trend. Wouldn't a bunch of players this year also been a bunch of them last year?

Pick 3 or 4 linemen. Have them run pass routes. If they catch the ball take a sprint off of conditioning. If they all make their catches then cut out conditioning completely for that day. Can also have linemen catch punts to get out of conditioning or end practice early. Saw that on the Jets hard knocks

We won our JV game 29-6. Got off to a really really slow start and put ourselves in bad position with mental errors the first half. Fixed them at halftime and then blew the game wide open in the 3rd quarter. Hit a 44 yard TD strike on the second play of the half. I have never seen an opponent so dejected so fast. They thought they had us and then they didn't anymore. Thanks to all the Huey guys who have thrown ideas around all offseason. I still have a few things we have been working on that I haven't called in the game yet. Maybe in week 2. How can you put yourself in a bad position when your opponent only scores 6 points? 6-0 with 2 mins to go in a game isn't even considered a BAD position. Down 21-0 after Q1 is a bad position.

Would you risk millions on a kid who can't even do the bare minimum required to give himself that opportunity in the first place? We all make mistakes and for many of us there are pathways available to redeem us from those mistakes provide second or third chances. These players are proof of that right now but we all must accomplish the bare minimum in life to even have an opportunity at more later on. Try being continuously late for work and see what happens. Does you being 10 mins late for work REALLY affect the quality of your work or your ability to do your job? Probably not but not being able to handle a simple task of showing up on time to work is a sign of potentially larger issues. You know what stops people from being late? It's not a written policy. It's when a coworker tells them, "When you come late you don't phuk the company, you phuk me. When you come late, I have to stay late." People don't care about the company. They care about the people that they work with. And here I thought it was the fear of being fired.

Exactly. You aren't doing everything you can to be a great teammate and player when you refuse to complete even the most elementary of tasks assigned by your babysitter. It is literally the opposite of doing everything you can. Maybe I wasn't very clear in what I was trying to convey, or maybe I was and the two of you simply disagree. I'm not saying that these kids in the documentary are doing everything they can in the classroom. I'm not saying that they are necessarily being good teammates given that they knew the requirements that they signed up for. What I'm pushing back on is the idea that there should not be a "non-school" avenue for these guys to compete, be seen, and potentially start a professional career. You don't have to be a good school student to be a good football player. And in an avenue where school wasn't a part of the equation I'd say you don't have to be a good school student to be a good teammate either. Would you risk millions on a kid who can't even do the bare minimum required to give himself that opportunity in the first place? We all make mistakes and for many of us there are pathways available to redeem us from those mistakes provide second or third chances. These players are proof of that right now but we all must accomplish the bare minimum in life to even have an opportunity at more later on. Try being continuously late for work and see what happens.

I disagree with manufacturing a route for these guys who can't be bothered to find paper. The NFL is not going to spend that kind of money on guys who clearly don't care. The most surprising thing to me, and perhaps it shouldn't have been, was that the cases shown were not about academic ability. They couldn't get guys to show up. NFL has no interest of you can't even be bothrred to get a participation trophy. The thing that stuck with me the most was when the advisor asked the guy why they were all so quick to say "f*** this" and walk away when things weren't going the way they wanted. She asked him where that came from and what in their life has shown them that behavior leads to better outcomes. Sure some of those guys had really serious issues and family/environmental situations but at least this was their way out (many on their 2nd or 3rd chance to make a life for themselves). I have a hard time sympathizing with grown men who were blessed with enough ability to overcome their circumstances but aren't willing to do the bare minimum to achieve it. When you say "clearly don't care" I would ask "don't care" about what? It's entirely possible to not give a crap about an English class while at the same time being very invested in a football team and doing everything you can do to be a great player and teammate. Please. They know the expectations and requirements of being eligible to play. If they can't meet the bare minimum (which is set pretty low) then they don't deserve an opportunity.
