Coach, we are priveleged to be able to change our helmet and complete uniform, logo decal and all. As a private school this is huge, as every dime comes from friends of the school. Although we have been lucky to win most of our games, we have lost lots of kids to other programs. This takes a toll on the morale of the kids, the staff and me. (I must be a real meanie) I just lost another 3 two way starters this summer, being a private school economics have played a big role. I feel that the kids who have stayed with me are excited and feel rewarded for staying with my program. It has greatly lifted our team spirits to be getting new stuff, it has added an excitement that wasn't there before. We are going to black DNA's with black face masks and black pants, we even have a "light's out" night planned. Since we are going with that "sinister" Doublewing offense, the black just fits right in.  (we are royal and white normally) |

OJW - that's quite a change! I still remember those white/blue unis from a few years ago. Sounds like an exciting time.

Fbdoc,
Wow! I can't believe that you can remember that, I'm amazed. Coach, time flys, that was 2004 when we first played.
I hope I never get caught doing anything wrong around you, I'd never live it down.
OJW

A lot has happend since we first played - I think you had a young team and that was our school's first ever playoff team. I remember your kids played very hard and your staff and school put on a class act. Going to a new school last year was a big change (very positive) for me. The biggest facelift we did was getting helmet decals - they had gone blank forever - and everyone loved it! I'll be watching your scores this season - go get em!

Going Single Wing. We had our QB get tossed from the semifinals game last year half way through the 1st Q. Our back up QB had broken his leg earlier in the year. So after looking at a number of things during the off season and to limit some of the issues we had last year.
Single Wing
No Huddle with hand signals

I have traditionally had a run-heavy offense but had a kid with a cannon the last couple of years so we spread it out and launched it a lot. We had lots of yards on O but didn't win as many games as I felt we could though. This year we are going back to the run and we are running flexbone. The kids picked it up quick in our spring game and we won the game and controlled the clock. We are in a stronger league this season and I have a really good feeling about our chances. Our kids have bought in and have been working hard toward having a special year. We'll see what happens.

We changed uniforms, helmet colors, we will add decals and helmet numbers. We changed practice schedules, and we will also have a Midnight madness for the first night of practice.

I have changed our helmet color. I have also changed our scheme. Small tweak, last we did more passing, and this year we want to become a more run oriented team. We are going to run the Shotgun Veer.

We added alternative black jerseys that the kids will get to where on homecoming (they dont know about). We also are also going to be 65-35 Run to Pass which last year was total opposite. Scrapping the traditional spread plays like Zone Read and going with the Veer/Power/Counter/Iso. We have some better players who will start and some first time football players who will contribute. Also we open up an addition to our fieldhouse -a football program only weight room-  |

Also we open up an addition to our fieldhouse -a football program only weight room- Alternate jersey or pants is cool. IMO so is veer/power/counter. Last year was my first on the job. We made the following cosmetic changes: 1. Took "wing" off the helmet, replaced with number a-la Alabama 2. Went with black pants home and away instead of just on the road. Now at home we are black head to toe. 3. This year we are putting a single stripe on the crown of the helmet and adding award stickers. Stickers are earned from off-season training, honor roll, participating in another sport, and the usual game-night variety or TDs etc (but only when we win.) That should about do it. |

Running bootleg "naked" instead of pulling a guard to protect QB. That is about as radical as our changes get.
