Calande, Nice clips, wish more guys would put video on here like that. I thought the DW was strictly for teams with no talent ...lol, with Oline that push the Dline 10yards down the field and backs that can out run everyone, I can see why you like what you do. But honestly, with that line and those backs in the film, I think you could do just as much damage from anything. I think the aggressive attitude in the film is much more important than the scheme.

So what happens when two double wing teams meet? Is it 6-6 "old school real mans" football or 60-60 "no defense football"? Or is it like a tree falling in the forest? I've been know to doodle some X's and O's, but IMO, sometimes a scheme or system is overated or overstated too much, it still boils down to EXECUTION, regardless of scheme. By the way, we sometimes run the DW as a formation, with "normal" SPLITS, and run our normal offense out of it....annnnddddd, we even throw fom it!!!! ....personally, I think its a great formation to run zone with and also midline/ISV/OSV when we cheat the back up.

I think you can get a lot out of 7 on 7, even if your a run team. The most important thing is to run your offense and defense, no sense in a Power I team going 5 wide just for 7 on 7, same as for the junk defenses. I think the defensive side of the ball is where you see the most "unsound" things occur, LB's bailing to 20yds isn't realistic. However, even with its downsides... 7 on 7 is important to what we do, since we are one of those teams that are 4 wideouts and swing the back out ...LOL What I like to add to it in our little 4 team sessions is that perimeter run, reverse, and draw (draw is the only between the tackles run allowed) are allowed and encouraged. This keeps the defense honest and makes Play Action possible, but mostly I like it just to get some option reps and go over option responsibilities. During the regular season, in our team practices we will go full go 7 on 7 on a 40yd field with full contact tackling and pursuit until the ball carrier is down, we will use perimeter run and passing. This is a great drill for open field running and tackling and is great for pursuit angles to the football. As a rule, all defenders must get to the ball carrier and breakdown after the tackle. Its competative and up tempo, we do a lot of it no huddle also, so its great for conditioning also.

10x100yd bear crawls, 10x100 crab crawls, 10x100 yd sprints, 10x40 sprints, 10x gassers, 100 updowns, 10 Burma Roads..... then ask him if he would like to change is answer or start over at the beginning......I like the Quarter punishment answer above, so he would do this three more times if the answer is still wrong.....

Um, SPEED! Speed in space. Flame retardent suit is on, so here goes...LOL.... IMO, strength is Third in value. 1. Fundamentals 2. Speed 3. Strength For the most part, lifting is over rated, particuliarly bench press. Curls and the body building lifts are IMO worthless as a football lift. The only two lifts that I really preach about are POWER CLEANS and SQUATS, IMO these are the two lifts that directly relate to football, all of the others are of limited value. Yes its nice if all the kids bench big numbers and we encourage a well rounded workout, but I'll take great Power Cleans over bench any day.

PSS, good point. Unfortunately, the school I'll be at doesn't have numbers for a B squad. Several local schools do though, they get 120+ out for Frosh. What kills me is that they dress 60 for each team and play maybe 15 kids. This makes your point more important in our case, the 40 or so that do come out, we MUST keep INVOLVED in the program. Even if #40 is chubby, can't move or tie his own shoes, he's important to our team and we'll take the time to develop him, and your right, he might just walk in the next year at 6'5 250 and decide to be a Bballer because the football coach didn't take time to work with him.

Also, your right about sucess breeding sucess. IMO, Platooning (If Possible= enough kids/enough coaches) will enable us to field a more complete team. As I mentioned, I'm sure there will always be key kids that will go both ways.

Phantom, you are 100% correct, the quality of coaches will dictate whether it is feasible or not. This is my NUMBER ONE CONCERN, quality of coaches. If I've got 4 solid coaches, it will work, if I've got 2 solid and 2 questionable, then by overlapping the groups, I can pair strong/weak coaches and kinda bounce around a little to the group with the most people working in it. If its me and 3 limited coaches, I'm going to put my Excedrin in a Pez Dispenser. Regardless, I plan on coaching coaches all summer to get them on the same page.

Ideally, how many coaches do you need to Platoon? I would say at least 3 coaches for each side of the ball, preferably 4. The situation I'll be in next year I will have a total of 4 coaches at the Frosh level and I want to Platoon if we get enough bodies out, in the 40+ range. I'm thinking along the lines of overlapping groups to create "extra coaches". Still, its a huge stretch coach to position ratio wise. This is kinda what I'm thinking as a overview of a practice format (everything will be scripted in 5 minute periods on a real practice plan), its taxing but I think its doable. I'm sure we'll have some players going both ways, with the overlapping in coaches/groups, it should be doable to cross train a few wr/db's, rb/lb, ol/dl etc.

Sorry TTH, but I laughed my butt off when I read that.... 8 yards, most excellent air time dude Kinda funny last night at practice, I had a former player (now a stud varsity tailback in HS) step in for scout offense tailback in shorts/shirt to run some plays against the defense behind a full go line, he ran an off tackle play and tried to put a move on one kid while not seeing the MLB coming full speed, got TRUCKED, WHAM, looked like he got hit by a bus..... by an eight grader. He wasn't hurt but sure was embarrassed. I couldn't do anything but laugh and tell the boys to take it easy on the older kids, they don't move as well as they used to........lol

Los, it really does depend on the type of block, like your saying with the combo....On vertical combo's, each man should have a hand on a number, with their off hand on the hip but not closed and eyes through the defender to the LB. Holding should never occur in this position, however, when the blockers encounter lateral movement by the down defender is when issues arise, its the "take" over aspect, particuliarly on outside zone type schemes where the inside blocker is taking over the block and trying to work his body into position as the outside blocker comes off to the LB, that the holding occurs. Probably the two most common "holding calls" are by the EMOL on a stretch/sweep play and by an Oline in pass protection that leans forward and gets ripped or swam against. Then holding is a survival instict... as in if this dude hits my QB my coach is going to remove 10lbs of my hide....

Do your defensive linemen grab cloth, lock out and shed? ? HOLDING??? Nope, not if within the framework. Same idea, inside hands win, leverage wins. Lose the body position relationship to the framework or slide the hands outside, and the flag flys....

Remember in Nebraska's heyday when they would sign 15+ RB's each year? Two ended up as RBs and the others as something else. Athletes will get recruited and then told where they are going to play, very few actually end up playing the position they were recruited as or wanted to play. So yes, keep the mouth shut, enjoy your son's HS career and then hopefully you'll get to watch him on Saturdays. Good luck to you and your son.

Brad, Don't let a few knuckleheads get to you, trust me, you've got it good to only have a few assjacks to deal with...LOL...You've got a great program up there and everybody in that town knows it. Too bad about (I assume) Steele's leg, hopefully that will work out, he's a good kid. Wish I had him...lol, hmm, wonder if you can send him down, little novicane and duct tape..... just kidding....crap, I had a kid sit out last week because his nose was stuffed up, his mom made him....UNREAL...

Seems to me that I have a strong "need" to look at it seriously. The guy doing the hiring is the half brother of one of my best friends from high school, and sought me out. I never applied, never called them etc. They want to find someone who can come in and make a difference in athletics, and in lives of young people. How can a guy feel bad about that? I did not get in this profession to make the hall of fame, or to win state titles. I got in to make a difference in the lives of young people through a game that made me who I am.
Sounds like you've answered your own question.

Good coaching, poor parenting and piss poor administration. Getting beat is one thing, but losing from lack of effort and commitment is another thing completely. If the parents and adminstration can't see the difference, then odds are they are complacent losers and the source of the problem.

How it should be: Football is allotted the same amount of season and "off season" time as basketball and baseball, you know, the year round sports that are ok to play in the "off season" under the guise of "club sports" in HS team uniforms at HS facilities with HS refs. I'd think 16 practices/4 weeks of full pads in the spring and passing league for a few weeks in the summer aught to suffice in my idea dream world.... In reality, in AZ, you get a few weeks in shorts and some passing league in the summer. This neglect of football here by the AIA has opened the gate to private leagues, which have formed here and are now having some HS's kids/coaches unofficially participate in them with their lower level kids. It will be interesting to see where it ends.

Steve Axman made a QB tape when he was at NAU, it had some good things in it, particuliarly regarding "cheat" steps to set the shoulders and also had some good scramble drills in it, you may want to do a search and see if you can find it.

Marchinko's Red Cell series, Clancy's books, Muhlbach, Emerson,.....oh, you mean football books, I've never really read any "real coaching" books, but after hearing who some of the authors are and the good reviews, I will. I think some of the books on warfare and strategy apply in broad terms to football strategy and mentality, Sun Tzu is a popular one for quotes it seems, one of my favorites that we apply in football terms is from Erwin Rommel's Infantrie Grieft An, "Infantry Attacks" detailing strategies for modern mobile warfare over the previous generations trench warfare mentality. The underlying theme is: "hit them where they are weak with lighting quickness and overwhelming strength at the point of attack", seems applicable to football to me.

Not arguing with you Coach Calande, nothing wrong with the DW or WT or WB or whatever, perhaps I shouldn't have been detailed in the analogy above about a DW coach, perhaps I should have said a "certain" offense. Anyway nothing wrong with philosophy, everyone has one, mine is probably just a little on the warped and open side of the spectrum in that I don't buy into a "religion" of an offense, simply put, football is a game and on offense the goal is to move the ball and score, doesn't matter how you do it as long as you do it more than your opponent does. This goes back to where I learned football from, my HS coach was a Woody Hayes practicioner and we pounded the football, in college I had 4 different Offensive Coordinators in 4 years (I transfered schools), so I was exposed to a few different yet good philosophies from sucessfull coaches, I could take a long time and tell the story but I'll summarize and say that I learned and use stuff from each system, including the GSU stuff mentioned above, who's OC by the way brought that stuff to the school I was at in 1987, so I'm familiar with it on a word for word basis, 12 veer, 12 zone...... So whatever works.......works......

I've beaten and lost to teams that keep it simple, but I've always believed that if you take away their bread and butter, they struggle to adapt. IMO, adaptable is good, rigid is....limited. However, its not the system, but whether the kids can do it and more importantly, do the want to be a part of it? Here's an example of an HS that has a lot of talent, speed and size- I mean a lot. The coach has been there for 12 years now and has stedfastly stayed with his double wing.....the talented kids don't want to play in this offense so they don't go out for football-they play basketball or run track or go to other schools, he has been 0-11 for the last two years, but he's sticking to his "philosophy" because he believes in his system. This school has D-1 type kids not playing football because of this. The point is sometimes being locked into a system will deprive a coach of good athletes because they aren't interested in being a " really fast tackle" or blocking TE.
