Some of you have it, some don't -- but what would you like to accomplish in Spring. How many scrimmages (vs. Opponent or Intra Squad)? How many plays would you like to see in a scrimmage, etc.?
Just looking for ideas and to see what others are doing or dream of doing.

Florida allows 20 total days for Spring. You can go full gear or t-shirts, full game or no game, and everything in between. We generally go 16 to 17 days of practice and then play a game. This year between the calandar and final exams we got 14 practices and we play tomorrow (Monday). Our goal is simply get "next" year's team together and see what we're looking at. This Spring, our challenge has been to replace our starting QB who announced just before spring that he was going to attend a public school in the fall. So far, we've been ok - I'll tell you more tomorrow after our game!

Just looking for ideas and to see what others are doing or dream of doing. I think spring serves two major roles, a learning process or an evaluation process. Being that we are a new staff we took on the learning process. We then went back and evaluated based on what we learned. We see kids and are like, "wow, if he can learn this he might be good." If you have a team already in place and a base system installed that they all "should" already know then you can go more into the evaluation phase. Because if they already know it and still dont look all that good.. then.. well you know..

In Georgia we get 10 days of spring football to be used as you see fit. There is no Jamboree at the end, but we did play a Black/red scrimmage.
We installed a new offense and defense so it was very beneficial towards being ahead in the fall. We installed the shotgun and worked exclusively from there after being under center 99% last year.
I'm coaching the OL this year so it helped me evaluate and just get the returners used to my style. This has been one of the springs that I thought was actually productive.

Wow, spring ball has been tough here. We have to replace about 9 starters on both sides of the ball, and gone are our 4 D-1 players. Now that said biggest thing is trying to find players that can replace the ones we lost, (especially Oline), and getting our O and D installed, which both can seem complicated if you have gotten the reps like our kids have not.

We dont have official spring practice in NC. I have been taking my OL out for Skill Development. My number one goal was to find a center. I then worked on fundamentals and tried to evaluate who could replace the 4 starters I lost.

Our spring just wrapped up - kids played well but just ran out of gas against a good team. Tied 13-13 at the half and went into the 4th only down 13-20. Gave up 2 late scores but we moved the ball pretty good and found some guys who could hit (although several missed tackles hurt!). Our "new" QB played of hitting 8 of 13 for 2 TD's but took too many sacks. Our new Fly Pistol also was productive, and our 6'4 sophomore punted 5 times for an average or 39.8. Now we start our summer program and try to clean things up.
