And to add to my previous post, when we have talent and intelligence, we can do a bunch. Most coaches are in the school of thought that you do a little bit and do it well, I agree to a point, bread and butter is good to fall back on, but not good for dinner night in/night out.....we do this until the kids are bored with it and want to continue to learn. When their lightbulb goes on we try to teach them as much as they can handle, once they start learning and doing different stuff they are like football junkies, soaking it all up. You know you've done something when the kid says, "coach you called that wrong, besides, I think this would work better against this front and coverage".....2 years ago I had 6 kids that could get on the grease board and show every positions responsibilty vs various defenses, this last year none, so we didn't do as much, but were still sucessfull.

Were a little different, the language stays the same year in and year out, but the offensive "look" can drastically change due to talent, from wishbone, wing T, double slot, Power I, multiple one back, to one back and gun spread....using the same verbage to communicate. It's easier IMO for the coach to adapt his attack to suite his talent than to ask the kids to do what they can't. I guess it would be the same as asking for a calvalry charge without any horses or for airborne to jump without parachutes, it has been done but it isn't very effective.....need the right tool for the job...

I guess my first answer would be it doesn't matter where we are at, but in reality D1 is probably the best level to coach at, great athletes, facilities, amenities, pay, etc. Pressure? Not something that affects me, I deal with it everyday in the real world with real dollars at stake.

It's interesting, what you describe is someone who has a "grab bag" of plays.
There is another thread (actually, more than one) that talks about offenses that have a philosophy vs those that are just a grab bag of plays.
I think...an aggressive play-caller...and easily be confused with someone who has a grab bag of plays!
I'm not sure how you got "grab bag" out of anything that I wrote. I don't think throwing deep all of time or going for it on 4th down all of the time make you aggressive so much as it makes you predictable. I think aggressive (or efficient, I like that better) playcalling is having your entire playbook being a potential threat from any position on the field. We will throw it or run the option from our one yard line or theirs, to others this might seem aggressive, to us it is what we practice and what we do. I think being unpredictable on any down is more desirable than "aggressive", but I guess the two could be considered the same depending on the point of view. A guy who can line up and pound it down the field and then hit the play action is just as aggressive and effiecent if he has the horses to do it. I don't think it matters what system you run, it can even be done with the vaunted Wing T, what I'm saying is that having each part of your system a viable threat throughout the entire field is aggressive, or effecient. For example, a Wing T coach that runs belly down on every short yardage situation isn't as aggressive IMO as a Wing T coach who will occasionally throw belly pass on short yardage. Just my two cents, before taxes.

all football should be allowed to cut downfield or anywhere
period
Yep, thats Football, not the Pussball that we are forced to play. However, all of the self serving political ladder climbers in our state association will never let it happen. I think they'd rather have year round baseball and eliminate football entirely if they could.

Airman, I understand what your saying there, but it would be nice to at least have the choice to do so. Our state association is a joke in regards to how it treats football.

I'd love to see NCAA rules adopted nationwide for high school, one set of rules, period. And yes, I'd love to see open field cut blocking legal. On that note, I'd like to see spring football in pads and summer programs allowed, and, and, and...........

Not suprising. Are Kevlar coaching vest's tax deductable?
