What they should have done is lined up and ran Davenport up the middle. or a toss the parker. Get out the hammer and go right at it or put in the ferrari and try to out run them to the pylon.

Its hard to run jet sweep in the NFL when everyone runs a 4.4 Hard to get an edge when the guys are that big and fast.

I agree, not to run up the score, but I don't think that telling a kid to fall down is the way to go. Run FB dive right up the middle. If the kid breaks it let him score. Give them a play that is easy to defend and hope that they tackle, but to fall down to me as an opposing coach, I'd rather have the kid score than watch a team just lay down for me. Kids still want to compete.

This week is the first football game ever above the arctic circle. Barrow Alaska takes on Delta Junction. Barrow is the northern most city I think in the world. Google it and look where it is on the map. They have a polar bear watch tower at their stadium because they have been known to wander on by. I think ESPN is doing something on it. Its going to be a terrible quality of game. Delta is a second year program in the boon docks of alaska and Barrow is a first year program. But its still good that they have a team and are building.

I coach in Alaska, we arn't so lucky in late sep early Oct when its freezing! Alaskan football seems different than the states. Most schools don't have lights so its Sat games instead of Fri night lights.

We have that problem with kids missing practice due to class because of practice and we are college where you can pick your classes. Guess you can't get away from it.

He doesn't just teach you what to do, he teaches you why you do it. That way you know what to corrcect when a pass does a certain thing. You become a coach of yourself instead of needing someone to correct yoru mechanics.

When I was in high school, we bought our own jersies (with names on back) so we had both in our possesion. Girls wore the opposite color. We always knew what color we were wearing. Didn't ever make the playoffs so never had to worry about that unfortunately.

Coachjerk, how long have you been coaching and at what level? You talk about this system that you've seen and how it works, but how long have you seen it. I'll be honest, i'm 22 years old and have only been coaching for 4 years now. I will admit that I know just about nothing compared to the ones I'm coaching with. They have been doing it far longer than I have. one of my favorite quotes "Its what we learn after we know it all that makes who we are."

You can't go full speed 3 times a week and expect to be in top condition on Friday nights. Sure make friday nights the easiest night of the weeks sounds like a good idea, but when your guys have no legs because you pounded them all week, it doesn't always add up to wins. Now you bring in USC and LSU, I guarantee that those schools don't go full contact 3 days out of the week. I coach at a Division 3 school and while we go out at it tuesday and wednesday, we never take to ground and its never completely full go on RBs or WRs.

Coach jerk, obviously you are a very confident person, but have you ever had a down year or just been out played a few games in a row? What do you do then. I agree with you that if you can instill physicality into players they are going to be competitive regaurdless of overall talent. But that doesn't gaurentee wins. Sometimes talent flat out beats your physical nature. What do you do then? You can be physical, but you do need some talent. No matter how many guys you punch in the face, if 5.5 speed jimmy at corner can't keep up with 4.6 speed jonny at WR its gonna be a long night.

Air Raider, to answer your question, Run the option!!! To the first guy, I hate losing and I work hard to win, but you gotta remember the sun is still gonna rise the next day, so as much as we hate losing remember its a game played for fun. And yes winning is more fun, but you can take a lot more out of a game than just wins and losses. If the only thing your football program has going for it are W's and L's, you need to take another look at the program.

I prefer spandex under the pads. Our kids didn't seem to have any complaints to the hex pads. They never shift out of position like a girdle will.

Some people belt their pads through the girdle and use the hip pads. Other good way of doing it is to get the McDavid Hex pad shorts that have hip and butt pads built in so no girdle is required.

Its not how much you know, its how much your kids know. If you can't translate what you know into terms that they'll understand, its worthless knowledge. One of my high school coaches was a former NFL running back and he did a great job of knowing exactly how hard to push us in conditioning and he worked within the system of what our head coach had wanted to install. He put his touch on stuff, but he didn't step outside the system.

NCAA clearing house? I am at a D3 program and I haven't even heard of this. Its never been a question we've asked a recruit. So I don't know what you mean by that... But heres what I'd do. I'd wait until Feb or March to actually send tape to coaches. Because right now schools are focused on recruiting kids that can play for them come the fall, not 2 falls from now. And if you send tape right now there is a good chance it gets mixed up in the whole shuffle of this seasons recruiting. But in the mean time, I'd sit down with the kids and make sure that all of their grades and classes and college prep work is up to snuff and they are on the right track. Then have them pick out some schools that they are interested in and plan some visits to go see them. Make sure they have the major you want. If you aren't going D1, pick a school based on if it has your major, not pick a school then pick a major.

Coach, We picked this up from South Dakota State University. The very first thing we do in practice is a five minute warm up period. The offense will run plays vs. air, the defense has a block destruction period. Each is done at a crisp (not intense) speed. The goal is to get the blood going. Sometimes we will vary the defensive period with a slower pursuit drill. We all like it a lot. Another thing they recommended is alternating your periods/sessions from ones of higher intensity to lower, throughout the practice; I guess to simulate the flow of a game. We did this and I think it is pretty accurate. Arnsparger At the D3 school I helped at this year thats how we started every practice after we did warm ups. We called it Team Takeoff.

Like the scouts say, its all about if hes a knee bender or a waist bender. If hes a knee bender, the kid can play line, but if he doesn't play low, stick him out at WR and toss some jump balls to him. But I have to echo Phantom, those basketball coaches are going to want him off the field.

I'm going to oppose your colt brennan by saying he plays an extremely weak schedule composed of 2 Div 1AA teams. McFadden runs for over 200 yards against a team that hadn't allowed a 100 yard rusher all game. One game doesn't win a heisman, but the later in the season you have your best game, the fresher it is in the voters mind. Explain why you think brennan should, I'm interested to hear.

But the thing is, there isn't a clear number one, so therefore there isn't a clear best player on the best team ala troy smith last year. Which is why I think McFadden could win it. no one stands out so dominent that I think a 8-4 team has a great shot of having a hesiman this year. It might truly go to the best player this year instead of just the best player on the best team.

So after McFadden's explosive day, lets get a little heisman talk going. Usually the Heisman is the best player on the best team, but this year there isn't a clear best player or best team. I think the Heisman is pretty wide open this year, but I believe it will come down between Tebow and McFadden. Now I think Colt Brennan could steal some votes. But really the heisman race is a microcosm of what college football is this year. There isn't a clear cut anything. So lets hear who SHOULD win the heisman and why you think so. This isn't trying to start an argument, just trying to see what everyone thinks, so lets keep it nice!

I think that the jumping around the field before the game is stupid, but if you remember 6 weeks ago against Ohio State it was Mike Hart running his mouth needing to be restrained before the game because both teams were meeting at the middle of the field and jumping around. So thats not something specific to florida, it happens a lot, and I agree its stuipd. As for how many screens did he run, well, One went for a TD in the first half, and on the final drive of the game he threw 2 of them to Harvin, but Harvin was so gassed he couldn't do much with them. Throughout the game I thought they threw quite a few (over 5) screen passes. I think you just have a vendetta for Urban Meyer honestly.

I think he went for it becuase it was 4 and 5 and his defense couldn't hold. He figured 5 yards is easier to make than holding michigans offense. As for him not kicking his guy off the team, maybe the basketball player had prior incidents that warranted removal from the team, i'm not sure, but what I do know is that Urban Meyer has a national championship ring and didn't go stupid over the course of a year. The guy knows what he is doing and has been a winner at every school hes been at so I don't think hes a choker or an idiot.

I didn't think that Meyer choked. I think that he needed to do something to handle the blitz better but I wouldn't call it choking. He called a fake punt on his own 30 yard line that got him a first down, thats not choking. Defensively his team got out played but I don't know where the choke reference comes in.

I know my old high school does like 8am til 950 or so take a 30 minute break go 1020 til 12 and done for the day 4 hours get all your practice in. Instead of stretching 2 times they do their defensive agility drills as their warm up or a high movement tackle circuit. It gets everything loosened back up from that 30 minute break. It works well for them, kids can still have a job in the afternoon and coaches can see their family a little more.
