I’ve never hit a Google Meet time limit but that might be due to it being linked to a school. I’ve found Google Meets doesn’t lag as much as Zoom for me. Now some Google Meets get a little screwy depending on the email address used to join the meet.

Because I wanted to stay in the game, and because the coaches I had were great role models who did a lot for me. My purpose was to pay something back to the game for what I had gotten out of it, and hopefully emulate my coaches for my players. I couldn’t have said it any better than this. There are a lot of things I love/enjoy about the game. The reason though is exactly what blb stated.

I’ve always done O/D everyday with an even split. This year we are looking at having a split day then a day of O emphasis and a day of D emphasis. It breaks down to us having 30 min on Monday and Tuesday and a little over an hour of Wednesday. I’m having a hard time breaking stuff down to 30/30/60.

I'll add one that wasn't told to me directly, think I first heard it at a clinic: If you're going to make coaching football a career, you better have a very understanding-supportive wife. I think there is a Bud Grant quote that is similar but also mentions having a dog because the dog won’t leave. Not really advice but was said joking about when you get a HC job. Make three envelopes. Fire the OC is in one. Fire the DC is in the second one. Make three new envelopes is in the third. It was said as a joke but we see it happen a good deal.

If anyone has used both, I'd be curious to know how it compares to Joe Daniel's Pistol Power Offense. They don’t compare really. The amount of resources and details in the TFS is much more than Joe Daniel’s.

Tony Franklin system is just the Air Raid with his own terminology Also he refers to it as "The System" which is as egotistical as it gets He had to change the name due to NCAA rules I believe.

-more 11 personnel, less 10 personnel. We are almost strictly 10p and I’ve never had less film on opponents lining up to basic rip/liz, Ricky/lucy than this year. -a lot of Spread UB looks(meaning 2 WRs on the same side of the ball on or a SE covering a TE). Obviously a lot of motioning of that backside X WR. Nothing really interesting out of it. Mostly just Jet and plays off it. In a similar vein more Quads UB looks. Against nothing that interesting out of it. Bubbles, suckers, attacking the backside in the run game. Not sure why this is getting more popular, guess it just looks cool? -Empty with a wing. Teams are in love with empty with a wing for some reason, must’ve seen it in 15-20 teams this year. Again I don’t see why. It gives you another vertical threat over basic 10p sets I guess. But the much diminished run game more than nullifies that in my view. -less 1 high/cover 3. More odd fronts in general We do a lot of this stuff. I don’t know about others but I can tell you why we do it. Empty with a TE/Wing gives the defense 8 gaps they have to defend. With the wing gives us a moveable gap. We have our entire run game and 7 man pass pro. Teams don’t line up well to TE/Wing. It also starts screwing with rules where you can steal yards. The same line of thinking with WR over unbalanced sets. Flexbone teams have been doing this forever. You saw it in the SEC championship game too by Bama. It’s not a looks cool thing. It’s a causes alignment issues where you can gain gaps.

AHHHHH HEllo I own the patent on that. The Facemelter is a combination of R&S RPO, Wing T Power/DUO with some NMSU sprrinkled on the update. Start building trophy cases when you install the Face Melter. Completely empty formations. Not even a QB…try stacking the box versus that! There was a guy on here years ago that did that. They would motion and catch the snap.

What is the defensive answer to the Face Melter offense? The Face Condenser Defense? The Face Solidifer? "If your defensive face has been melted install the Face Solidifer Defense and get back on track" Eat the Captain. We played a team in 7 on 7 that runs that defense.

This is really only an issue maybe if you huddle. If you signal it’s pretty easy. Left hand signals to the left. Right hand signals to the right. Then a signal for the box. We’ve done it like that for 10 years or so from 6-12 grade no problem at three different schools.

There is some definitely some WTF moments when looking at film. One thing I’ve got to improve on is not over think it. Some teams really don’t line up or adjust well. Find one of those sets and kick the crap out of them.

I’ve seen 7 yards from sideline to bottom before on a diagram. This came up recently between myself and another coach. He had his listed at 6 yards. They have field turf so that might be a factor. I would think on field turf the bottom of the numbers would be fairly standard but who knows.

Kind of a combination of the two was Bill Parcells and Phil Simms. Parcells would chew Simms out in the front of the team. Simms went to him about it and Parcells explained that if the team saw him chew out Simms then he would chew out anyone. Once Simms understood the why he didn’t take it personal.

I completely agree it was not smart in any way. I put myself in the hospital with the same thing doing kettlebells. I only say that because people don’t realize how easy this can happen when certain things align.

One of the run and shoot guys has a version that isn’t the Go Army. They used it with the Roughnecks and at his HS stops.
I looked at using Go Army years back. At that time (not sure if it’s true now) you didn’t need an Oculus. You could do it with any type of VR reader. Google play even had a cardboard kit that worked.

I don’t know if you really have to do much at all when you have an elite player past don’t screw it up. The wing-t and Single Wing shouldn’t have a problem featuring a stud. You might have adapt some if you’ve at a QB that you don’t want to run in the single wing.
I guess in the different offenses you mentioned that would be the only thing I could think of that could force some adaptation. It’s one reason I’m a big fan of the wing-t is you can still feature that kid without changing things. The rest of the offenses for the most part you can plug and play with little change.
I think that is where some guys get in trouble. They start tinkering with proven systems to feature a kid instead of just running the system and letting the kid just be good at it.

I got friends that do what I do. They just have better dudes and what we do isn’t very adaptable/forgiving I feel. So I’m increasing my circle of friends and looking for wing-t friends.

Wing-t. Small school Wing-t as in small coaching staff and roster numbers.
Special teams. Any and all things special teams and once again things I can use with a small staff and roster.

Utility player and special teams player. I think my senior year I literally played every position on defense at some point. It was a game plan, depth, I knew everyone’s job type deal. It certainly wasn’t for athletic ability.
Special teams is what I was good at and most proud of. I didn’t return kicks. I was part of the middle wedge, the wedge buster on KO, gunner and the lead guy on our wall return. I loved it. My SR year we were pretty successful on returns and did a pretty solid job on covering kicks. At 5’11” 145/155 I figured that a good HS football player could come in all kinds of different shapes and sizes.

if it was for a school assignment...doesnt the school own the art? No the school does not own the art for a school assignment. Now if the assignment was something like design a t-shirt, poster or whatever then the school could claim they own the rights to use it.

One reason I said if I wanted to be a PITA comment was if I get the original artwork. For use of the artwork 20.00 isn’t bad. If they want more than they have to give me the original and I get the rights. This is way off track and more info than anyone wants to know. When it comes to artwork
You can on the work but not the rights. You can own the rights but not the work. You can own the work and the rights.
Similar things can happen with land ownership.
Now if the work was created as a project in school as in the mural example. To me the kids have no rights to compensation there because it was for a grade/part of a class. I’ve seen plenty of murals like you’re talking about. I hate when teachers allow their department to do crap work. In the case with the skull the student created a work for a grade and everything past that is a different issue. It isn’t uncommon for HS kids to sell their art.
So if you have a media class or whatever that creates banners and the such for sports teams or programs as part of grade or curriculum then no money. If it’s outside of class then a student might start to ask for money.
With all of that said sometimes transferring a piece of art into a digital form to be printed on a shirt can suck. That is a whole other set of issues.
So in the end like others have said it’s not worth the hassle.

I teach art and my undergrad is in graphic design so my approach/perspective is a little different. The fact the artwork would be used on the shirt is something the kid could use in the future as part of their portfolio. As a student in HS I would of been just happy with that.
As far as a price if I was going to pay $50.00 is about it. The only reason I would worry at all about payment is if you get kids to start doing things like social media, banners and so on then you run the risk of everyone wanting to get paid. There are of course ways around that.
Now if I wanted to be a PITA about it with the parents and try to prove a point that’s a different manner. The. It comes down to things like 1) do I get the original 2) the school now owns the rights to work and those factors would influence the price. I still wouldn’t give more than $50.00 but it would up being a lesson to the parents. Not that they would get it or understand it.

We give them at least a normal work day off and have given them the whole week off. I just always felt it gave them a chance to recharge (including the coaches). We also make practice shorter do some more enjoyable stuff. This week is our bye week and today we split them up and played 8 man football.

First time I heard it was from Wes Elrod who coached the wing-t in TN. I had heard the story that was posted earlier of riverside/lake side.
Basically the way we use it is everyone just turns around and faces the opposite direction. That way guys aren’t running from one side of the field to the other. For example if we have a line of WR running a route and when yell riverside the back of the line becomes the front. The QB just walks forward and now you’re running the route in the opposite direction.

How do people handle the crap like ankle twisting, pinching, and so on? Most of that stuff is happening in the pile and things like that. We don’t find out about that stuff until later. Do you just tell the officials to watch for it?
