I agree the gun is spot on because some people can make pretty good bullets at home out of the required materials too.

We don't stretch on offense, defense sometimes stretches after practice. Haven't had 1 muscle pull all year.

I kicked 3 kids off at once one day before practice because I found out the reason they had skipped the day before and the parents had the Principal and AD waiting for me at the field gate when practice was over.

No, he stopped even calling the defense at Halftime I think and the mike backer just called our base every play after that.

I had wanted to stay away from this but here goes. We beat a team 91-10 this year. Funny how the points total was 91 like in Texas. We believe anything goes in the first half so our starters played the entire first half and ran our offense. Starting the Third our JV ran 3 plays and scored a TD. We blocked a punt for a TD. Freshman qb came in and threw a TD to another Freshman. Freshman running back goes 60 on a dive play. 91 points. Opposing coach thanked our header in the paper for subbing out and taking it easy. The thing is we have a running clock after a 36 point lead in KY. We were on running clock in the first quarter.

Worked one year for a guy who named every player on the defense a different name, and named each blitz some nonsensical name. We had OLB called monster and wolf with blitzes called snot and booger. We spent the year running lots of booger monster blitzes to the wide side and some snot wolf from the boundary.

at our school, if you quit a sport. you cannot participate in another one until the season is over for the sport you quit. one of the few things our county does right.

Station Camp went 5-6 last year. I'd maybe look into a different approach.

How many of you have some form of in school conditioning class, or team sports or whatever you might call it? My school is looking at adding this but we want to dot the I's and cross the T's. We want to know what form your school has and how you do it and who teaches it?

Around here it is usually an older experienced guy on your staff who doesn't hold one of the coordinator titles.

Ask, why not us? Why can't we win it? Drop the excuses. If you can get your players and staff to honestly ask "why not us" and really believe they can win it, you can take another step.

Run the ball, Play great defense AND win the turnover margin.

We have 6 classes in Kentucky. State Champions in the top 4 classes all platoon. The smallest 2 who didn't platoon will try to platoon their lines and play as many people as possible.

A high scoring offense, or a dominant defense? We are the smallest team in our region, and one of the only ones who can't 2 platoon. As such, we opted to have our defense be stronger and pay for it on offense. As a result, we went 1-9 but lost several low scoring games by a field goal, or a touchdown. 2 of those came in overtime. In the past, this is a team that was consistently blown out by 40+ points on a weekly basis. With that said, just curious as to what you all would prefer. What exact moves are you talking about when you say you chose defense and the offense paid for it?

Score a 1000 in the first half if you can. Bring the starters back out after half-time to stay in the routine. Get a running clock going if you can. Then its classy to begin subbing some people out. Its classy, it jets backups playing time and it keeps a starter from possible injury. I believe you should pass much less if you can but saying passes are totally taboo is ridiculous. Some coaches who are behind will leave all starters in the game and continue to load the box and or blitz. I'm not running 3 iso plays and punting. Sorry. It takes some class from the losing coach as well. I'm not putting in J.V. Kids to get manhandled by someone else's varsity all at once. It is not the job of the losing team to tell the winners what they should be doing. I'll coach my team and you coach yours.

I have been coaching for 20 and teaching for 10. I have total support for the coach and total disdain for the principal and the parents of the quitters. Notice I didn't say the kids.

I'm on the side of the coach here. He and his assistants and 21 remaining players were right. Not every scenario can be written down and signed off on. Sometimes an administrator needs some balls to support his people. I wouldn't work for him.

I had a coach that gave them to kids to take home and play with. Hard to have a football culture in town if young kids don't have a ball to play ball with.

I was hired as the head coach last year to take over a struggling program (won 6 games in 3 yrs.). Last year we went 2-8 (my 1st year) but looking to the future I started 9 soph. This year I lost some of those guys but still returned guys with experience. We are a Jr heavy team with only 4 Sr.s who start. Unfortunately we are 0-4. Could easily be 3-1. Loss 1- Lost in triple OT Loss 2 - Down by 7, Fumbled the snap on the 6yd line going in with 1:16 left in the game. We had just drove 50+yds in 3 min. Lost 21-14. Loss 3 - Losing 21-14 scored on an 18 yd TD pass with 5 sec left in the game. But missed the extra pt to lose 21-20 Here is my question. How do you teach/train/practice to win??? I have looked all over the web and all I get are ideas "winning breads winning"... Thanks I get that but how do you go from losing to winning. I could blame it on luck but that means I don't have to change anything. Any ideas will be very appreciated!!! Do more competitive things in practice and in your off season program. Reward winners! Teach players how to handle the ups and downs of competition.

As I get older I move to a more balanced approach in everything I do. Some kids respond differently to different things. I believe in Saban and his "process". When I was younger it was Frosty Westering and "make the big time where you are" and the edge of the coin stuff. However some kids don't understand that or don't buy into it because of thier parents or whatever. Winning is important too. I talk about both in our program. 50-50 almost. I think it makes my philosophy well rounded and touches more kids.

In my first head coaching job I thought I could change the culture fast and I was wrong. I'm not so sure that type thing can be done fast even by a hall of fame type coach. I thought the players would buy in faster, that they just hadn't had a good coach before me and so on. I was wrong. I got fired. I am a better coach now.
