Louisiana-- I don't know if I can go top ten, but I will hit on the cream of the crop. John Curtis Christian-- 25+ state titles in 3 different enrollment classifications (even though their enrollment hasn't ever surpassed 2A--they played up in 3A and 4A for many years until a rule change prevented it) Family owned/operated school. HC is founders son, DC is his brother. HC sons and other relatives fill much of the staff. Heavily accused of providing illegal financial aid and illegal recruiting, especially in their earlier years to build a program that now "doesn't have to recruit,the players choose us" Football wise,they run the split back veer, but generally only execute the give phase and the cutback. Occasionally QB keeps, mainly on outside veer. Mostly a 3-4 or Fifty defense. Evangel Christian Academy-- 12 or more state championships I believe, in classes 1A, 3A, 5A, and now down in 2A due to the rule change mentioned Above. Sometimes referred to as John Curtis north. Took a very similar organizational model and implemented it in North Louisiana. Very similar accusations regarding financial aid and illegal recruiting to "get the ball rolling" The "father" of the team is Pastor Duron, who has been the consistent point even though the HC position has fluctuated a decent amount--more than one would anticipate for such a successful program. Program has undergone an interesting change after religious differences caused a split, and the Booty Family left Evangel. Another change is the demographics of the roster. During its first championship, the team closely resembled its school population...mostly white kids who would be attending ECA regardless of football stature... and a few coach's sons who were great players. When it was playing up in 5A, the team hardly resembled its schools population..at least the 30-35 or so kids that one would consider "Varsity" didn't. Not in size, race, etc. Offense has always been spread pass based, but has fluctuated in its implementation, going from a 7-9 yard shotgun under when Booty was QB, to more of a AirRaid type formation/concept recently. West Monroe-- Public school that was perennial doormat until Don Shows took over as coach. He brought them to state and national prominence, with his first state title in 1993, and 4 or 5 more since. Made football HUGE in the area (which is a financially well off area of North Louisiana). Regularly sells out its season tickets of 10,000+ the day they go on sale in May. As with all "powers" allegations of illegal recruiting exist, but not as widespread as the two private schools mentioned. WM runs an I formation Option offense. A couple more that I have less info/knowledge of Haynesville-a stones throw from Ark. They have been a small school power for decades, and have 6 or 7 titles I believe. (maybe more) Wing-T team, but more of a power wing T as opposed to a deleware wing t. South Plaquemines-- A new school, formed after Hurricane Katrina from the remnants of 3 coastal schools. Parkview Baptist- 76-14 the last 6 seasons, with 2 state titles and at least a quarterfinal appearance in all but one of those seasons. Flexbone offense. YOU'VE GOTTA INCLUDE CROWLEY-NOTRE DAME! Louis Cook is the best coach in the state!

media will butcher him either way! I like the fact that he is himself. If he says nothing he is "boring" If he talks a lot he is a "blowhard" Can't win in today's media. I hope he stays true to himself

2x2, motion across to 3x1, tunnel screen to #1 on the 3 wr side. #2 wr kicks out widest player #1 wr (motion man), kicks out alley player pst- kicks out any over hang player, or block man that followed motion psg= blocks pslb c, bsg, bst= avoid contact with dl, and block any off colored jersey at lb to S level backside wr= attack free safety.
great play, especially against blitz.

the Bowl season told us that undersized, fast, aggressive defenses will overwhelm, confuse and outplay a big, slow offensive line. USC, Fla., Boise, all examples!

all we did was take those downloadable wrist cards from the Cutters website, and instead of using numbers, we highlighted and changed each number to LETTERS.
so play "A" might be: Spread R, 31 Trap
Now we can just call out: "Arizona, Arkansas, Alabama, Airplane, Apple...whatever. Anything that starts with "A" is Spread R, 31 Trap

this is a question I have been thinking about hard.. How do you know when it is time to move on from your current staff?
I work for a great head coach, and have no conflicts at all. He encourages us to think of new ways to improve the program. I am the OC.
Lately though, I find myself more and more thinking I would do things differently than he is doing as the head coach. is that a sign?

I am a new head coach, and will soon be having my first meeting with the players. I have my own ideas about what i want to accomplish, but am looking for things that other people have done.
What topics to touch on? Tone? etc.?

he is not a bitter guy. he went through some tough things and I think got some pressure. but was not fired, resigned and still wants to coach. is a teacher in the building, and an enthusiastic, good coach.

a serious question here. have recently gotten a HC job. am putting together a staff and am debating whether to keep the old coach on staff. On one hand he could be a great help as a teacher in the building and a good coach. On the other hand I know he could be a detriment if he is stabbin' me in the hallways to the kids. Anyone have any advice on this one?

I admire the kid for wanting to push himslef and not being afraid of competition. The cream always rises to the top. It is amazing what Pete Carroll is doing getting all of these great players at the same positions. Competition breeds success. Good for Mitch for not shying away from it. The great players want to test themselves against the best.

no spring practice allowed at all here in Michigan. what a great advantage that would be to have it. The problem we run into here, is that many schools have "football tech" classes in the 2nd semester and many schools do not. As you can see, this poses a huge disadvantage for the schools that do not have it. The schools that have the class can have their whole offense and defense installed by the time they hit the field in the summer. Those of us that don't have it are left to play catch up!
