Amazing site.
Currently playing at the University of Sheffield in BCAFL (British Collegiate American Football League) but looking at coaching when I graduate, and may even be a player-coach next year, coaching our receivers.
We ran a spread offense this year, and a 3-5 or 4-4 defense, went 5-3 and made it to the playoffs, losing to the conference winners in the first round.

I am an Offensive Coordinator and O-Line Coach at the HighSchool level. We are a triple option (flex-bone) team mixed with some power and Iso. We run a 3-5-3 on D.
This is a great site for the exchange of ideas and information, I have been truly impressed.

I am a GA in college. Before that I was a student assitant. I love this site, it is great that coaches can get together and share anything and everything about football. On offense we run what everybody calls The Air Raid (OC Tony Franklin). On defense we are a 4-3 team.

I coach at 4A sized school in South Dakota. We run no-huddle shotgun but I am a big fan of the dble slot or flexbone option. I've been coaching for 5 years.

Hello TOG, I am truly blessed to be AD at Duncanville, TX and I have a passion for helping coaches grow professionally. We have started the Texas Coaches' Career Academy to help coaches. There are many X&O clinics out there and I want to put clinics together to help coaches on the professional growth side. The first academy is May 20 at Duncanville HS and will touch on a lot of topics. We have many DFW athletic directors, several superintendents and principals who will be on hand. The cost is $30 before May 1. Please visit www.texascca.com for more information and to register for the May 20 academy. On June 20, we will host another academy that will go into more depth about becoming a head coach. Those who attend the May 20 academy will be invited to the June academy free of charge. Thank you.

We would love to learn some more about these kinds of things coach. This is a nationwide board and a lot of the guys on here can't make it. Can you start a couple of threads that discuss things of this nature?

Hello,
I played OL in college as well. We played in a zone/west coast passing style offense (defensively we were a 4-3/4-4 scheme). After some injuries I was forced to stop playing, and then went on to do the next best thing, which is coaching of course. I coached the offensive line and tight ends for two years before moving over to wide receivers (both at the same school where I played). I am now looking at being the head coach at a small school (9-man) in eastern South Dakota. I'm not really sure what type of offense I want to run, because still need to learn more about playing without tackles. At any rate, I'm glad to be here and look forward to learning from you, and maybe helping others in any way I can.

Hey Coaches! I am a wing-t coach at heart and am interested in knowing what anyone thinks of the Spread Shotgun Wing-T dvd series by the staff at Grinell College. I have the three dvd series from Coach Johnston at Western Branch HS in Veriginia. How does Grinell's compare? Is it worth the cost to buy the series? Thanks for your input!

Young buck here. 21 years old, still in college and working on the teaching degree. Just finished my first season coaching 9th grade offense at a small high school (400) in central MN.
HS offense: wishbone and wing-t defense: 4-4 stack cover 3 and some 5-3
Coaching offense: Wishbone and flexbone defense: 4-4 stack cover 3
On the whole, I am not a huge fan of the wishbone, but it is what I know. Had a great HS coach who knew it like the back of his hand. I somehow stumbled upon this site a week ago and have been hooked. Hope to learn as much as I can.

Tog and Coach Huey,
Huge thanks putting this great site together. I quarterback a semi-pro football team in St. Cloud Minnesota, been playing semi-pro for eight years in the area. Before that I went to a DIII college in St. Paul where we had a lot of fun throwing the football (pro set, mostly two backs). I went to Sweden to play football for food money for the Stockholm Mean Machines and came back with a couple of Swedish National Titles but more importantly a wife. I'll coach someday but it will probably be when there's no way possible that I could ever play another down... ever see that famous picture of Y.A. Tittle after that heartbreaking loss with the mud and blood all over his face, that will probably be me in a few years.
The team I play for runs a pro-style offense with a lot of shifts and motions. We run mostly four receiver sets that leave the QB responsible for both calling the protections correctly (we have six - Man+RB right, Man+RB left, man - half gate left, man - half gate right, gaps left and gaps right) according to the defensive alignments and hitting any hot receivers off LB dogs that aren't picked up in the protection.
Our defense runs a 3-4 with a general cover two look but will go man to man from time to time.
There's a lot that goes on in those seconds between the play call and the snap - but it's all a real fast chess game that slows down as you get better and you have to love it.
Thanks again!
Est

Marcel Seidel Offense Coordinator "Niederrhein Thunderbirds" Duisburg, Germany We are club-orientated here in Germany. So our club consists of: 9vs9 youth-flag (9-15 mixed) youth (15-19) ladies (16+) seniors (19+) 1996-1998 flag Offense Coordinator: Won Germany´s vice-championship in 1998 2001-2005 Head Coach youth team: Won two-time undefeated state championships in 2004&2005 and lost in relegation to the Major League (German Football League for Juniors, GFLj) since 2006 Offense Coordinator seniors (season is from May to October), 4th division (of 6). I attended NFLE´s Rhein Fire Training Camp in Tampa, FL in 2002 as a WRs Assistant in the "Local Amateur Coach" program. I also officiate games here with the highest possible licence (allows my to officiate every game in Germany except NFLE-Games of course). Our website: www.afj-niederrhein.deHere are two clips of our preseason game: youth flag: www.afj-niederrhein.de/files/F06-0a-vsFrogs.zip won 15-0 (their 5th shootout in a row) seniors: www.afj-niederrhein.de/files/H06-0a-vsBulldozer.zip lost 14-52. It was the first game of football ever for 19 of our 34 actual players. The oldest one is 47. Do not compare football to what it looks like in the states, but for 5 months of practice (two-a-week each 2-hours, and we had no practice field over 5 weeks in February and March due to bad weather-conditions). Question: Am I the only foreign coach here? 18 pages are way too much to read for right now.

How does a Hasting's Bronco end up in Texas? Hasting's has had a great program over the past years - I coach at Nebraska City - and follow the GPAC and NAIA schools since we have several players who have played for Doane, Wesleyen, Peru State. Morningside was really tough this year and USF was tough also. We are starting our second year in the gun so might have some questions for you.
