Why not come up with your own version of the logo you want? It is a pet peeve of mine when high schools use the logos of colleges and pro teams. I understand it is difficult to create a new logo, but I would prefer something unique to the school rather than "borrowing" a logo from somewhere else. completely agree, how about a logo design contest ... the high school has an art program right? even if you dont get the perfect logo you could get something close that the graphic designer could clean up

I was probably a bit different from most. I played in high school but was probably into Science, drafting and art with a main focus on girls and having fun then anything. I was injured (not football) as a JR and started helping the JV Oline some days. Really enjoyed helping the younger guys on technique. Then senior year injured (football this time) was in the coaches office and two of the coaches were watching film and raving about a play a kid made on the other team. I couldn’t understand, the kid missed the tackle, the coach explained that his responsibility was to force the RB back into the Defense, which he did. Anyway that peaked my interest as I always like to know how things work. Fast forward to college and I am going into engineering / industrial design, while studding in the library I often find myself in the magazine section reading scholastic coach articles on football ect.. Then my sister asked if I would takeover coaching her intramural flag football team, I did it was a lot of fun and did it for two years getting to the championship games but losing twice. Plus the interest in girls was still there Anyway fast fwd again to my 30s and there was a youth team close that was in real bad shape and I offered to help, I just wanted to be an assistant but they made me head coach, yes that bad of shape. We didn’t win a game that first year, select league and cuts from other teams were our starters, But it was the most rewarding feeling, and to this day that team is the one I was most proud of, because of how the kids consistently got better and kept fighting. I was hooked I saw the change in the team and felt good about what we did, parents wrote thank you letters for helping the team ect.. Did that for two years and then my wife got pregnant so took a break… and thought I was done. A friend of mine from college was hired as HC of a high school in the area and he asked me to come and coach the younger teams (fresh, JV), talked it over with the wife and my work and said yes. Been moving up since and love it, but will wait till my little girls (still into girls now as a father) get older before moving up to varsity.

1. I felt the posts were harmless... No real insider/behind the scenes stuff... Nothing that most spread coaches haven't seen or used before 2. Both visits I saw multiple coaches filming practices 3. They've been pushing how they're now all access and open to public and Hs coaches 4. I respect them and that is why instantly removed both posts from my blog even though he only specifically asked that the second post be taken down I meant the posts to be purely informational I have a fear of being blackballed like someone mentioned He mentioned in further email correspondence after I apologized to come introduce myself next time I visit... Part of me feels it's a trap and he is going to have the air raid secret service waiting to take me away to Guantanamo Bay Go introduce yourself, you were at his practice, and he asked you to take it down, you did. No big deal. In your post you even stated you didn't want to share anything that might be insider stuff, and he said just take down one post. He's not mad a you, probably would have preferred you had asked since you were a guest. ... now you can use it as a way to network. For the others getting mad at the coach for asking him to take the post down, we have no idea why and its only speculation to assume the reason. Maybe its not the drills he was worried about but the players in those drills. Only the Cal coaches know.

there are no rules against a teacher tutoring his students on his own time even for money so that is not the same as coaches being restricted to only 10 days of instruction during june and july. Apples and oranges, man. The point Im trying to make is how can the state/gov/AA restrict a student from learning on their own? Especially if it is on his own time and the individual is not involved in the school. If i were a parent I would flip out if there were a rule that basically limited how hard my kid could work. That would counter what we teach " work harder then the next guy"

No problem with it as long as they make all the team stuff including lifting. Im actually encouraged that a player wants to improve that they go the extra mile. A problem can occure if said trainer tries to insert his opinion to parents on your program training coaching ect... THen nip that in the bud right away.

I always thought it should be illegal. If we as coaches can't coach our kids in fundemental skills then players that can afford it should not be allowed to go to pro trainers to improve those skills. I guess students shouldn't be allowed to get tutors either. If they are not learning enough in school and the want to learn more, too bad for them.

So as a assistant not wanting to be dis loyal or giving out to much info its a great place to gain more info and share if I can. As a head coach, I can appreciate this rationale. to add to this... If names had to be put there would defiantly less X & O posts ect... for this very reason then the board would be locked to outsiders and no new contributors would show up..... (flexbone ass. site)

Coach, I like the idea of using practice jerseys for lower levels. I don't really agree with your philosophy of treating the lower levels with less respect than the varsity (that may not have been what you meant and I just misunderstood you). I am not attacking your philosophy, I am just saying I think it is best for every member of the program to feel like they are important. Note: I am not talking about "Everyone gets a trophy", just that everyone has a role to play in the program. Obviously, if I use the practice uniforms for lower levels, that is still sending the message that they they are less important than varsity, but I think there are other ways that you can show them that they are important to the program. For example, I would not treat lower-level games as competitive scrimmages, and I would not say that the varsity uniform is a badge of honor. That's just my preference though. We have so many kids who think that JV football is a "demotion", we try to build it up to just be something that all non 2-way starters on varsity do to prepare for Friday night. I already fight parents and players with the amount of fundraising required in today's high school athletics, I can't afford to worry about game jerseys for lower levels as well. We treat Soph Football and JV Football as a key aspect of our program. We make sure that the MVP's of those games the day before (we play both at 3:30 PM on Thu here) get 1st half reps in the varsity game, and we make sure to note when we play a kid on Friday night based on his performance on Thursday. I know this is off topic: CQ, is JV different in Utah, you stated sophmore team ect... does the JV team play other schools?

If you had a chance to sit and talk to a successful 30+ year head coach with multiple state championships. What 3 or 4 questions would you ask? and why?

Had this situation where the HC was just way too nice of a guy, and very good friends with the DC. We were scoring a ton of points, but the defense was giving up just as many because of lack of attention to fundamentals and details in practice. We fixed it midseason by incorporating into every Sunday coaches meeting a session where after watching film separately and together each position coach and coordinator had to list 3 things his position/unit did well, 3 things that needed improvement, and the specific drills/action plan to fix what needed improvement that week. The staff as a whole commented on the good, the bad and the action plan for each position. Saved the HC from being a bad guy, but put everyone on the same page as to what needed to be done with each group. Now that right there is problem solving at its finest

"if you block for another mf-er out there I will put my belt off and beat your a$$ right here in front of everyone".
Is this a type-o or was he telling his Son not to block? If so he should have been let go then and there... at least had a talking to about what is proper sideline behavior.
I coach JV in a good program and there are a few Dads (most are former college players, and have coaching experience) that coach with us on Varsity thru freshman. The big thing is try to keep the interaction between father and son to a minimum. Don't coach position group, other side of the ball, different levels, NO SAY IN SONS POSITION COMPETITION ect... I cant say there has never been a problem but it seems that it gets cut out right away because the Heads wont have any of that. Most of the Dads are great coaches and handle themselves perfectly, care about the program & all the kids. Example: I was OC this season and our WR coach is talking to our QB mid season about the Defensive pressure and the DC in a scrimmage and the QB goes "you know hes my dad right?" The WR coach had no Idea.... that's the way it should be.

Does some of his view on this have to do with the no huddle offense lining up then getting a call from the coaches who get a call from above because they see how the D is lined up? This is kind of taking the thinking game away from the players on O but the players on D have to be coached up on how to react.

I do kind of miss watching games where I am interested in every play because "this could be the big play" now there are so many big plays it loses its luster. There is something about a defensive battle that keeps me interested.

An alternate for the search function is to google "Coach Huey (insert question/topic here)." Usually gets what you want. First off , This is helpfull... No offense but the search function everyone says to use sucks! I cant search the whole board, if i search back more then 300 hundred days it always crashes. I get a bunch of stuff i don't want. I like the suggestions others have given, sort by alphabet, #s of posts (I do this Great way to learn something indepth), but: Can Huey insert a google search site widget up there with the ads? this could be a big help. 2- some of you sound like your whining about better times. This board is the best football coaching learning site on the web, still is and always will be as experienced coaches and new inexperienced share their idea's. Are there dumb questions? No there is never a dumb question... that question is an opportunity to teach that coach. hey coach, Read: "this link" ect... (A sticky post about silver bullet offense or defense would be something to "link to")

I do Graphic design and love doing sports logos.
on the other hand opening it up to a school competition is a great idea and you would get something original that has a bit more meaning to the school, but you also may get something you were not looking for.... Also its summer.

I need to get a football on a stick! Take an old ball cut a hole for a broom handle. (to make the hanlde stay in place better, you can screw a piece of wood to the end...inside...but you need a bigger hole cut and sewn back up.) Then get the expanding foam from Home depot and shoot it in to the ball.

while no one can honestly say they would "calm" the coach down, its a matter of message efficiency, maybe The coach in question Nice to see that Sloth from Goonies found a job after his flop as an actor.... Seriously, brophy where do you come up with this sh!t!!!! Duece I agree, how do you seach for that? lol this guys got a bad case of neck sweat.

Also, what does it mean to have 44 academic all-americans at the junior high level? Pop Warner has Academic all American awards for those that do well in school. Coach Potter really pushes academics and its not just lip service, he and his assistants put in time away from football and it pays off.

he is instructing the kids on proper technique like how to "move the line of scrimmage" or "get both hands on their breast plate" and "drive, drive, drive your feet". Sounds like he is doing his job... with some fire, but the main thing is he is instructing... I see a enthused coach, which is a good thing.

at some point maybe the 5 yards might not mean that much (punts, ect..) take the delay of game penalty for some extra breather
If it is hot ask for extra water break/s (this is for any youth coach reading)
