If you were going to design a college program say for football what would you like to see included in it so it would cut down on some of the stuff you would need to learn/teach when you or a new coach on your staff is hired?
Things like film break down, time management, field prep (some small schools in Oklahoma the coaches have to paint the field, fertilize the field, water it, the whole thing, budgeting, off season, etc... What do you think would be some classes that would need to be offered to have a better prepared coach right out of college?
Thoughts, ideas, what classes would you like to see, etc.... what would be most helpful to new coaches, what would the curriculum look like?

With the exception of theory/adv theory classes and athletic administration, you will be hard pressed to find an assortment of classes pertaining specifically to coaching high school football. Especially if you are looking into a major, minor or emphasis type of designation.
I think you have some great ideas for high school associations to explore, or I would be willing to produce some short videos.

Think we will pass on the new short videos Still havent gotten over the astronomical production of the others and all the great insight and technique involved in them. I watch them everyday and just dumbfounded by the expertise contained in them!

You are correct about finding an assortment specifically pertaining to coaching in General, that is why I posed this question. I know that it would be helpful at all levels though. I know there is Film breakdown involved in all levels, game planning, practice management, etc. So that is why I asked. Maybe talk to some Universities about putting together a program that would include this, maybe a certificate program or even as electives to go along with the other classes you have to take.

I have heard of a few schools having coaching classes....I would think a good deal of it pertains to the administrative duties and risks/liabilities...not so much x's and o's  |

yeah as I have as well...... I just think that it would be a "good thing" to offer students who are planning to go into coaching whatever sport some classes that will help them be prepared. I think it would be helpful to the new employer as well. Maybe offer them as electives, Im sure that there would be students that would sign up for the classes to get that much needed info on the ins and outs of coaching.

that is along the lines of what I am talking about but I wonder if it teaches things like practice planning, game planning, film break down, and those types of things. I mean it says that you will do a internship at a facility but what are you doing at that facility. I know that Athletic trainers have to go through clinicals for their degree but (in oklahoma at least) when we go through our actual hands on part of the classes we are doing the teacher aspect and nothing to do with the coaching aspect of football. I just think that classes that teach things like that would be beneficial to all.
Where the Idea came from for me was when one of the coaches on here was talking about having coaches in the booth who had no idea what they were doing he took another coach, taught him things that needed to be known, had that coach do film breakdown and then did a mock game scenario with that coach. I think that real life situations like this would be helpful for all new coaches.

Based on the coaches and resources on this board, you could probably make an online course of sorts on various subjects. For example, give coaches some film and ask them to explain how they'd break it down. I think you'd get some pretty interesting analysis.

So, put the video on here, and ask them to do say a word document of the breakdown to see what they look for in the games?
Would anyone be willing to do something like this? Post a Vid and others do a break down offensively and defensively?

As I have said before I do not have any, could not find anyone to video for us this year, that is why I am asking if there is anyone who would volunteer. How about you Brophy, you seem to be the resident defensive guy, teach us your stuff o' great one!!

I think it would be useful, on a number of levels, to see how different coaches break down a portion of film. If someone has a useful clip of at least a couple of plays, it would be interesting.
