3rd year head coach at middle sized high school in illinois I was an asst. here for 7 yrs. History of program is we have not had much success and going through pains of trying to turn that around. Mostly looking to read things from experienced coaches.
we run a 4-3 defense we run a wing-t type offense (mostly double tight, sometimes double wing)

I'm 25 years old and have been coaching for 6 years. I've been around a lot of coaches. Spent 5 years at one school as I finished college the school had 4 different head coaches in 5 years so I've seen it all. I, power I, spread, split back veer, wing, wishbone. I took a job at another school farther away where the coach was an I man but ran split back formation and I plays out of it. Coach did not allow any of his assistants to have any type of input and there was no discipline I learned a great deal from him on what not to do as a head coach. I just took a job at another school and am hoping to settle in there coach is disciplined and open to everything.

26 years old. Have coached at the High School level for 5 years. Started as a DB coach at a class 6A school in Illinois. Great place to start, we only lost one game in the entire program and that was in the state Semi's Varsity. Took a year off to help my dad and didn't get to coach, but landed a job as D-coordinator at a 2A school. The program had won only a total of 7 games in 9 years. Needless to say, it was a challenge. We only won 1 game the first year and lost all but 3 starters. We somehow managed to win 3 the next year, despite starting with only 18 kids. I switched from a 4-4 to a 46 defense and was able to keep our team in ball games. I moved to a 3A school this year and wound up being the O-coordinator (my true love). We started in the Double Wing and lost our top three backs in the first 2 weeks!!! I had to learn how to change on the fly. We ran our 2-minute drill for an entire game because we had no Varsity level backs that I could count on. We eventually ended up in the "I" after we got a couple guys healthy. We finished the year 5-5 and made the playoffs. We lost in our final regular season game by 6 to the #2 team in the state.
I love this site and trading thoughts/opinions. It is a great help for me.

I'm 30 years old and just got an OC job at a new 4A school in the DFW metroplex. I been coaching 9 years, one in Indianapolis and the rest in 5A and 4A schools in Dallas. I've had the fortune to work for and with some of the best men and football coaches in the business. I've been a part of an 0-10 year and a 16-0 Texas state champion and I value both of them. I have to say this board has been very helpful in my continued education of the game of football.

I am entering my 10th year as a HS HC at a small school in NYS, approx 400 students. We run a spread offense with a lot of Jet motion. Defensively we run a 40 and a 30 package. Most of my players go both ways. When I took over the program, it was almost dead with only 20 players in grades 9 - 12. Last season we had over 60. Much of our on field improvements have come from ideas shared on boards like this one. As a new coach, I wish I had had the access to the great ideas people pass along on a site like this.

Hello all, Buckeye State, O&D Line coach for Division 6( the smallest) Catholic High School. I've really taken some great info from this site. I'm a young pup who trys to take everything in I can. We are rebuilding a program that was near extinction in 2003. In fact the previous staff started the season with 22, due to injury they did not finish the season. Our staff started the following year with 40 and have yet to see our first victory, but we continue to remain positive, as we have started a "feeder program for 4, 5, and6th graders. Our underclassmen are hungry and this is the year we will see some results from 2yrs. hard work in the offseason.

Name is Jeff Jones
This is my 7th year in this great profession. Come from a coaching family.
Coaching at a small school in west Texas called Crane. Spent three years in the panhandle coaching at Hart, TX. Looks like I'll stay in the small school ranks, mainly to raise my kids in a small town.
Looking forward to some interesting football talk, and hopefully learn a few things and "meet" some good people.

Just thought I'd introduce myself. I am still in college so I don't have any official coaching experience. I come from a family of coaches so I've been around the game. On offense, I'm tinkering with an I-Formation with a slot back instead of a tight end, and on defense I like the 4-2-5/4-4 look. In high school I ran the power I on offense and a 4-3 on defense.

I live in KY and have coached Middle School and High School ball for ten years now. I coached maybe the top WR ever in High School history in Gerad Parker that played for UK. I now help out at Lexington Catholic High School. Our QB Justin Burke led us too win the State Championship this year and he should have a chance to compete at NC State this next year. We led the state in offense this year. Justin threw for almost 4,000 yards with 64 TD's and 5 Int's! We had two WR's over 1,000 yards this year with one of them leading the state in receiving T.D.'s Our RB also rushed for over 1,000 yards. It was a blast to be around so many talented kids!

Been lurking for awhile, better introduce myself. Oline/Dline coach for a small school (400 students) in MT option offense on varsity, just as when in high school in IL. but on JV, as the DC, I have to deal with a risk taking OC with five wide looks. base defense 4-4, but use multiple fronts throughout the year.
