My first year teaching (coached 3 years prior as G.A.) was rough. I was learning a new defensive and offensive system. I have a short attention span for computer lessons, and I had to learn how to use a computer program for inputting grades, different variations of e-mail, etc. It was my first year teaching Algebra, so I had to study to actually know the stuff well enough to explain it. Add to that learning classroom management, developing the IT part of our team Film. And on and on and on...
All the information was like drinking water out of a fire hydrant. My football coaching was not nearly as dynamic because of this chaotic phase. So, it would have helped having something to organize time and manage all that initial stress. Or at least have a clue how the first 2 months would be a struggle so I could have got a jump on a good portion of this learning prior to starting two-a-days.

Offensive guys get credit for things they don't do, while defensive guys get blame for things that aren't their fault.
An OC looks great when the stats says 42-21, but one touchdown was from the special teams, one was from a returned interception, and another was set up by an over snapped punt that gave them the ball on the 5 yard line.
A defensive guy can orchestrate a masterpiece, but the offense throws a pick 6, the kickoff team let 'em break one, and there's only so many times your guys can hold the line after all those 3-and-outs your Offense keeps doing.
I had this scenario happen to me one too many times. I quit beating my head on the wall and joined the dark side, offense.
