Ok, lets throw it out there, what do you guys think are important aspects of a sucessful program and why.
What do you yourself do in those portions of your program? Is it something you have developed, borrowed and built on?
I think that first of all you need to have short term goals and long term goals for both the season and the future.
Short term maybe in the installation phases of the program as well as other things such as increasing your ypg from week to week.
Off season I know is a very important part of the program. Getting stronger, faster, getting more players out, doing a "breakdown" of what things work and didnt work.
I plan on being a notewriter and will encourage my coaches to do so as well. I may take the stance of bringing a recorder to practice so I can record and later write notes from that.
So what do you guys see as important any why?

ONe thing that often lacks in poor programs is qualified instruction. I think its very important to have a man at the top with a good vision, ability to communicate that vision, ability to teach his staff how to lead toward and teach toward that vision and the man at the top must steer the ship when it begins to get off course. His entire staff must be taught to recognize warning signs of the ship going off course.
One thing that must happen is that the program must insist on discipline and great sound fundamentals starting at the earliest ages.

1) Discipline 2) Consistancy...ALL of the coaches have to buy into the system if you expect the kids to buy into the system. I've seen too many situations where the Offensive staff is divided as to whether a spread offense or pro offense would be better, and then the players start to take sides, and causes many problems 3) Teaching - Can you teach the reads and techniques properly to ALL levels in the program (related to consistancy thing)
