One district with poor test scores but average pay I applied at wanted you to record five 60 second video answers. Which is fine except you got 30 seconds to formulate an answer and could not re-record your answer. Obviously there had to be applicants who knew what was coming ahead of time.

I disagree again. If you just pisss them off to the point of quitting, I think they are going to be a lot more adamant in their disdain for you and the spread of their dissatisfaction. Even if you are right that they would part more peacefully, it would just feel dirty. I don't like to intentionally be a jerk to people. Seems like a weird means to accomplish the end goal. Can you give an example of how you would go about this? I just can't get my head wrapped around how it would be beneficial. who said anything about pissing them off. Example? 6 am coaches Meeting. Mon through thursday. Noon sat coaches meeting for game plan. Hc is going home at 6. If it not done, we will come back and complete on sunday. at 2 and stay till it done. That will have 25 page scouting report done before we go home sunday. We are also going to have personnel sheet done, laundry done. Locker room will be de stinked. Your presence in the weight room is a requirement. During summer you have to be there for 3 of 4. You are responsible for your kids meeting requirement in weight room and conditioning. If they do not you are responsible for make ups. Installs before practice. You lead it. So you will WORK monday through sunday, mostly because you are lazy, unprepared, undisciplined human being, during season. During a season, you will probably leave the house at 530 am, and pending responsibilty, not home till 630-7 ish. Oh then hc is constantly delivering reminders about grade checks, missed or late practices, weight rm attendence.
Well I know this isn't a public school in Illinois. Everyone would quit coaching for you and keep their well paying public school teaching job and coach elsewhere.

10 clips max for my defense to watch. More about identifying who their best players are so my kids are aware. We watch on Mondays. After film I release game film to kids if they want to watch. Some watch, most don't but I don't really care.
How do you have your kids watch your own game film-hold them "accountable" or more importantly use it as a tool to construct improved performances?
10 Clips are of a future opponent. We will spend around 20-30 minutes watching the previous weeks game. We mark up and share with kids over the weekend. On Monday will go through clips that were particularly good or bad as a team. We never go through the whole game with them in film. They lose interest relatively quick.

Are there any studies yet on the impact of early enrollment for high school football players? Have the January enrollments led to less kids transferring and red shirting? Are a higher percentage graduating?

Common in bigger classes in Illinois. Frosh play on Thursdays, Sophs/JV play before Varsity on Friday.

I think the bigger mystery is how did they win games the previous season with all of that dysfunction. Eh...I don't know if they were truly more dysfunctional this year compared to last. That simply could be the narrative that the creators of the show went with, given the 2-win season and Brown having to resign over the winter. I don't think that "dysfunction" can credibly explain how they went from conference champs and a pre-season National Championship pick to a 2-win season. Is it possible that they just did not do as good of a job recruiting? That the team simply was not as talented as the year before? Previous seasons of "Last Chance U" showed some amazingly talented football players who were going to go somewhere big-time if they could get their heads on straight socially and academically. I did not get the impression that, for this season, they had that same level of talent. Again...the kid who was the #1 JUCO player in the country. You would think he would be a major storyline. But he just wasn't. I'm assuming he was not particularly productive? Why else wouldn't the people who made the show focus on him? They were loaded and just did not talk about the other good players. Probably because they were not screwups.
Johnson was hardly the only top talent on Independence's team that didn't get the featured treatment. While common feature subjects Malik Henry, Markiese King and Kailon Davis were all ranked among the top 20o junior college prospects in the 247Sports Composite, so too were six other Pirates. Johnson was the headliner, followed by California OLB signee Kuony Deng (No. 13 overall in the 247Sports Composite), Vanderbilt CB signee Dontye Carriere-Williams (No. 40), TCU CB signee Tony Wallace (No. 116), Indiana DT signee Juan Harris (No. 121) and Colorado ILB signee Jamar Montgomery (No. 140).

What percent of high school programs still do a 110 conditioning test or something similar? It seems like every summer a college football player dies doing something like this.

I love every time I see a kid on twitter who is "Blessed" and "Humbled" to receive a "Roster Spot" offer from some D3 school. Particularly the ones who win 1 or 2 games a year.

I uploaded video from 6 seasons before we had hudl, but also had on DVD. The problem uploading was a few of the seasons were taped on the old mini dv tapes and then converted to DVD. While they loaded, they do not look very good and would take a ton of time to edit so it looks as clean as it does now. .

What I mean is due to the overall talent level of the teams playing. There were six games on our schedule this year (some we won, some we lost) that I could have put minimal time in preparing that the final outcome would not have been different. Every once in a while we will play a team with clearly superior talent run by an idiot, but those do not happen too often and even then the talent sometimes wins despite the coaching. The games are just closer.
With all that being said, I still put a lot of time in preparing, but it is more for the self satisfaction of knowing I did everything possible to get my team prepared to win. Even though deep down I know it is not going to matter all that often.

In a 9 game season there were 3 this season. The rest were a forgone conclusion before they were played barring something bizarre or a key injury.

There was a nearby school that had a nationally top 100 player committed to an SEC school sit out almost his whole senior season with a minor injury. He was saving his body for college play. He lasted one semester in college.

My FIRST year as a head coach, I inherited a program that had MASSIVE discipline problems. I set the rules early on and kids adapted very quickly. One of the biggest issues was that kids missed practice in the years prior to me being there. The first week of the season I had a few kids miss practice and I suspended both of them for the first quarter of the game. I told them as soon as possible. However, the last week of the season we had a "Senior Skip Day" on Monday (we were 3-5 at the time, and out of a playoff berth). I told our seniors that if they missed school they would NOT be able to practice and they WOULD NOT PLAY IN THE GAME. I had 13 seniors miss practice on that day. Normally, I would tell them right away. However, I knew if I did that they would cash in the season early. So I didn't say anything about it until game day. I brought up 10 sophomores and not ONE of those 13 seniors played Friday night.......ON SENIOR NIGHT. Ten minutes before the game I ran down the personnel on all specials and Offense/Defense and none of them included those seniors. Needless to say, it was a eye opener. The following Monday all I did was field angry phone calls and parent meetings. Looking back, I wouldn't change a thing. A fairly successful soccer coach did this by me last May. The next game was their first playoff game and they were seeded near the top of the section . She warned her Seniors ahead of time if they participated in Senor ditch day and missed practice they would sit the next game. Five of her 8 Starting Seniors ditched. She sat them and they were upset in the first round of the playoffs. She was fired later that week by her AD.

I have never been at a program where the kids don't wash their own stuff throughout the season- and by that I mean everything. Moreover, there has never been a problem with this. I am shocked how many are the opposite. Same. As a player and as a coach, players have always been responsible for their stuff. When I was in high school it was a requirement on the varsity level that practice clothes were washed every day. If you had dirty clothes you ran extra after practice. If you left practice cloth in your locker our head coach would take it home and wash it. Then charge us 5 dollars to get it back. No one really left anything after the first time he went through and did that.

Steps in our district. Max out at 10 years. Stipends go up about 100 Dollars a year per teaching contract per step no matter level you coach. Only head coaches are on a different pay level. Current assistant max is like 6100 and next year will be a little over 6200. For minor sports like cross country it maxes out at like 4k.

I had a kid refuse to practice this year because his practice pants were wet from the previous days practice in the rain. Then of course he is confused on why he didn't play that Friday.

We had a kid not show one morning for a track meet. We call his house and he answers the phone. He was not there due to the Police raiding his house and arresting his brother earlier in the morning. He also could not find his uniform because the cops tossed his room looking for stuff. So we sent a kid to go get him and got another uniform and he ran that day.

The older I get, the less I think film matters. Personnel is the single most important thing. Studs and duds.....game plan that. I agree with this. I find myself watching film more for my piece of mind. It is easier for me to accept a player getting beat if I know the other player is just better than him and not because of being out of position due to their play call.

There is a coach in our conference everyone hates. A few years ago he made the playoffs and the team he played immediately got film unsolicited from 7 of the 9 teams on his schedule. They ended up with over 40 films of his 9 games. The coach at the opposing school said the hardest part was figuring out which film to use and which to delete.

We have our kids take two salt tablets before and two salt tablets after each practice. So, during two-a-days they're getting a total of eight. Then, they took two before going to bed for a daily total of ten. This allows us to limit their water intake at practice so that we're not wasting a lot of time with water breaks and stuff like that. This is what a post would have looked like if the internet was around in the 1960s.

Just have to ask but why does he have to change the number to play fb? Yeah unless you plan on sending him out for pass patterns he doesn't need to change his number.
