I'm older now so I'm more efficient, so things don't take as long but similar to davishfc's post. Do you get film with the players and a coaching staff meeting done on the same day? Or do you split those tasks up between Saturday and Sunday?

The main part of our staff hangs around on Friday night. We watch our film informally, we talk, we unwind. It can go pretty late. We used to trade film and burn DVD copies on Friday night. Now, with Hudl, we don't have to do that and it can make Friday nights shorter. Either way, coaches have film to watch on their on as their schedule permits. We dont' do anything as a staff or team on Saturday. Players and coaches have that day off, although film is available on Hudl for both coaches and players. At my previous school, we all came in at 1:30 and spend 4-5 hours meeting and watching film together. Here, the defensive coaches have traditionally come in Sunday morning, so they still do that. The rest of the staff comes in around 1:30, we do special teams and staff stuff and the defensive guys leave. The offensive staff stays until 5 or 6. Monday is a long day for everyone, with film for the team and practice, but its the tradeoff for not having to come in on Saturday.

You guys are all flipping nuts. Our staff does not meet at all on weekends anymore (many of us have kids and other responsibilities). We do have a coach who puts up our film via HUDL on Friday night and i as the HC will break down skill kids and send it out on Saturday by 5:00pm. We have 2 line coaches that breakdown and send out film critique of OL/DL. I cut up opponent film by play and formation and send it in folders to staff and kids, another assistant and i put prep cards together. We will talk via the phone as a staff and see what to attack that week and have a general game plan for Monday. Our kids have the entire weekend off, it is football and they are kids. Their weekends should be IMHO to relax or work for car money and generally be teenagers. I am sure some of you must thinking that this leads to failure, actually we have done this for the past 4 years and have been 39-7; and remained fresh and healthy, players and staff, until the end of the season.

You just expect them to watch film of your game and opponents on line by themselves. You just don't meet as a Team. At least by having our kids come in on Sunday I know they've watched it and also gotten coaches' comments on both.

Sure, he's helped maybe by not having them get up early or something Saturday morning but otherwise, I'd still have them together if I could instead of having them apart

At least by having our kids come in on Sunday I know they've watched it and also gotten coaches' comments on both. Right. If you have them there, then you know they watched it because you policed them paying attention. Also, coaches were there to critique each play so you know players were given points of emphasis so they can improve going forward. I definitely see ways around staffs meeting but not the team and the coaches together. Coaches are adults and should act accordingly, getting their delegated responsibilities complete over the weekend and staying in contact with one another to develop a plan. When you expect the players to be away from football for the weekend to "be teenagers," part of that involves accepting the fact that many of the players will not watch the previous week's film. Even if they do, they are not watching it with the help of a coach to critique them. They will always be lighter on themselves than a coach would. Consequently, how much better are you really getting as a team at that point? Just my thoughts.

Is there anything that can be done to cut down on amount of weekend time spent on Football? Actually, I DO think that some offensive schemes are much less time dependent regarding scouting and such. For example if you are a track blocking dbl wing team..you don't need to really break down the opponent for all of the various down/distance/personnel data. blb, you may experience a similar situation with your SBV. Edit---as I read through the thread, I see this was already discussed a bit...along with the great tidbit for NOT grading players. Definitely don't see much of a need for that.

Coach5085, Aren't most offenses this way? Each week, you just rep everything you could potentially see just to ensure you're prepared for all possibilities? This way you don't expect a certain defensive front only to have them pull the rug on you and change it up.

This way you don't expect a certain defensive front only to have them pull the rug on you and change it up. I think a more "pro style" offensive system or even now the spread systems rely on what the defense does (match ups, line stunts, fronts, down and distance tendencies, coverage rotations, coverage choices etc. ). There is a "greater" benefit to drilling down in the data if you run those offenses than there is if you run dbl wing or maybe SBV. Just my gut instinct.

We will have the kids watch film/lift on Monday pre practice, and Tuesday after practice but nothing on the weekend. I used to think watching opponents was huge for the kids but I don't anymore. We as a staff will use tendencies and their scheme during instruction during the week.
As a staff we will watch the film quickly while we load and burn copies. Saturday we exchange film and I usually try to get a copy myself(OC) and develop a game plan. Sunday we meet for about 2 hours and polish the game plan as a group.
