Herd saban chew an assistants a$$ for saying that instead of coaching him I am guilty of this. However, it got reaults. What I was suggesting to our receivers is focus on the catch first and understand that is your number 1 priority or you will be standing on the sideline with me. I went from "catch the ball" to "catch it first." One of my least favorites that I've started hearing more of: Just throw it. Or, just throw the ball. Because, obviously, the QB forgot what his job was on that play.

It seems to be clearly something that is taught.
But, I don't understand why that way. Maybe I just have sad, weak fingers, but I just assume you're going to get them broken that way.

Essentially, they just jammed their hands into their gut?
I mean, you can't punch somebody. But, can you forcefully poke someone?
Sorry this happened, but I am thankful that this is one of the best thread titles I can think of. I wish I was a karate robot.

A few years ago, a team tried an onside kick.
It went about 5 yards, and as it was dying, one of our recently fast kids swooped it, scooped it up, and went untouched into the end zone.
Their coach was yelling that we couldn't do that, because it didn't go 10 yards. It was right before half, and their coach just kept losing his damn mind over it. On his way in at half, he starts screaming at our staff. About how we teach our kids to cheat and crap like that. It was hilarious.
I still don't really know what he thought the rule was. I'm thinking he thought the 10 yard rule was for both teams, but, no one can be that stupid. Right?

Find some more well known people posting this video on Twitter, and read some of the people who support the coach.
I can't understand how or why they would.

Eventually coaching interviews are going to be 3 questions, and any answer other than no means you don't get the job.
1. Do you feel it is okay to punch players?
2. Is it okay to show players your penis?
3. Do you like to lick syrup off their bodies?
That's all it's going to be.

Kid: Coach, I'm sorry I missed practice, it's just that my mom worries. Me: Okay Kid: Well, she's not my real mom, she adopted me. But she loves me just the same. Me: Okay Kid: No! She treats me just like I was her own son! She was worried about the storms in the area yesterday, she didn't want me to get hurt in the tornado. Me: Well, it didn't really storm here. Plus, we were inside all day Kid: But she loves me so much that she just was afraid I would get blown away. She said that a tornado could tear the gym apart and we all would have died. Well, you would have died. She kept me at home so I'd still be alive. Can you imagine coach? I'd probably get to start of everybody dies! Yeah...... Was this a high school aged student? He was in 9th grade at the time.

A few weeks ago, we were up 14 with 4 minutes left, and the ball. Ended up losing by 10.
Don't really even know what happened. It's not that the wheels fell off. It's that the wheels turned to pieces of flaming dog poop and they tried to put it out with gasoline, and then fell off and crushed us.
Each kid thought that they specifically had to press, so they tried to free style. Had a CB call his own blitz, gave up a long TD. Had a NT drop back in coverage on 4th and 2. Punter rolled one off his shin. Threw a pick6 at the end.
The closest I've ever been to just pulling a kid aside to tell him that I hate him and wish bad things on him, was after the game and he said we didn't play with any "urgency" when up 14.

I knew a guy a few years ago who chose to start every drive in the second half with a penalty. They were dominating so heavily and were significantly deeper, so he kept calling trap and ISO. But he said he figured it would at least make it look a little less bad. They won by almost 80, and ended up having kids slide down on long runs. It's a great problem to have, but aside from taking a knee or committing repeated penalties, there's not much you can do. I know a guy who won 77-0 that punted on 1st down the entire second half. Geez. I'm not even sure how I would describe that.

We accidentally painted the opposing sideline box 5 yards too short on both ends once. They got a flag for being out of the box.
It was our big rivalry game.
"Accidentally."

A few years ago, we played a team who had sort of a reputation for trying to see what they could get away with.
Their first offensive series, they have 3 OL and 8 skill players. Skill guys are shoulder to shoulder on the numbers on both sides. We quickly figure out who is and isn't eligible and let our players know. Their first snap, quick slant to what ultimately would have been their RT. Our HC says something to official, he says he will keep an eye on it. Next play, same thing, different side. We keep adjusting better and stopping their stuff. They turn it over, try the same thing their next series. A few series later, they threw a screen to the skinny RT/WR. Follow that up with a forward pass screen to double pass for a TD. Our HC loses every bit of s--t he has ever had.
At the end of the quarter, he walks out to talk to them and figure stuff out. The explanations he was given were: You can throw to an ineligible man if he's wearing a skill number. You can throw to an ineligible man as long as it doesn't go beyond LOS. It can be a double pass as long as it doesn't cross LOS.
HC attempts to prove them wrong by pointing out it was effectively pass plays to the left and right tackle. Response: Coach, tackle isn't that wide.
The only time our HC has ever gotten a flag, we looks at them and says "You all better pray our camera stopped working, or else the regional head is getting this, and you morons will never ref again." 15 yards, justified.
The only reason it stopped, was I was frantically searching the rule book for something to show them and came across the numbering rules. 5 guys have to be in 50-79. They had 3.
Got em.
Any time people talk about officials having a hard way, I bring that up. We do get great officials, but the bad ones feel to be almost comically bad. And the good ones never get any or enough credit, because someone will always be upset that they lost.
I think the simple solutions would be to pay them more and for coaches to have more input into bad officials after the fact. Because those guys we had were at a game the next week. Their boss simply said he would "look into it." They're still together, same crew, 3 years later.

Take a look at the “That’s racist!” thread and see if you feel that those kids have a “right” to do that. The kids are doing something that many find extremely offensive on their own time, away from the school and showing no connection to the school or the football team. But they should be tossed from the football team. Now you’ve got kids kneeling during the national anthem – something that many find extremely offensive. And they’re doing it during a school sponsored activity as a representative of the school and the football team. What’s the difference? I would say the difference would be the genocide assumption that goes along with one. But, I could be wrong.

We had a guy a few years ago try to start come crap about us cheating, spying, luring players away, all that crap. Because of that, he refused to exchange anything with us for the week 5 game.
Our HC was best friends with his week 4 opponent, so we got their 2, 3, and 4 games. Got their weeks 0 and 1 game in exchange for some stuff.
Ended up beating then by 30. And that night, as I was uploading to HUDL, our HV calls me and tells me to send a 1 way exchange with their week 6 opponent. Send all of it, tell him to pay it forward.
Apparently the guy tried to weasel out of exchanging anything with anyone, so everybody just kept the film train running every week.
I'm a firm believer that you can never have too much stuff. And I have no issues spending a lot of time breaking everything down.

Pardon my ignorance, but who or what is "Pepe the Frog"? An internet meme, it's safe to Google, but I would recommend safe search just in case. The internet is a dark place when you start getting into that stuff. It was never intended to have any sort of racist meaning, but was high jacked by neo Nazis as a sort of symbol. The internet is a weird place, filled with racist frogs.

Legally, it's a very questionable area. If you're from the wrong area and someone gets with the right lawyer, you may be out of a job.
I'm not going to tell the kids how to feel or what they should feel. If they feel strongly about something, I wouldn't feel right denying them of their convictions. I would respect their desire to lend whatever voice they may have to a very volatile issue. I don't walk their road, they don't walk mine.

We do after games, and that's about it. The parents make a bigger deal about it than anybody else. We lost a close, ugly game last year in a heavy rain. When we decided to go back to the locker room instead, parents acted like we were the worst humans on the planet. The kids wanted to get in and go home, we wanted to forget the game. The parents didn't seemed as bothered by the loss as they did the lack of standard "Jesus keep us safe" prayer.
I'm not a religious person, but it doesn't bother me. My only issue is it feels like the same thing every week. It feels rehearsed and never genuine.

It's like they tried to put out a dumpster fire with just a bucket of grease and poop.
My question is, how do they not know some of these things? Like the DUI and license issue? When I started coaching and they did the background check, they knew about a speeding ticket a decade earlier.

We've never been out for, simply because of timing.
However, a few years ago, the band apparently had an issue and was running way behind on stuff. So they had a single flute player go in the box and play it over the PA. We didn't know there was a delay, so we put the kids in the tunnel and start making out way to the sidelines. Then everyone stands, the flute starts, and we all realize it's not going to end well. About 15 seconds into the anthem, the smoke/fog starts rolling from the machine, our guys start yelling. And then run out. We tried our best to stop them, but they couldn't hear or see what was going on. They realized halfway out what was going on and froze.
It was an absolutely hilariously awkward moment. Luckily no one made an issue of it. Now we make sure to know if it's been played or not.
