Hi Coaches,
I'm just starting out coaching as an assistant defensive coach on a university side in England. I'm trying to absorb as much info as i can to try in order to make myself the best coach I can be. I've played under coaches that stopped learning and it wasn't fun.
From my 6 seasons worth of experience playing mainly OL/DL over here, Im quite keen on the 44 cover 1 package that I played under at university, so I would say that is where my immediate coaching philosophy starts. Also quite keen on 53 and 52.

Hi guys, i'm a pretty new football coach in the UKm i coach mainly special teams and O/D line at the moment as i'm feeling my way into coaching. I still play a little for the leicester falcons, who are a senior league side here in the UK, but are only entering the league next year as we are freshly formed. The Univeristy team i coach is the Leicester Universities Longhorns, playing in the British Collegiate American Football league (BCAFL) The game is really growing over here i think we're upto 40 college teams now accross england, scotland and wales, playing in one big NFL style league. We play pretty much to NCAA rules, but we're all pretty cash strapped, and have less resources than probaly 95% of US high school programs!
But our national student team the GB bulldogs are competitive with NCAA II teams i reckon, so it's not too bad as most guys never even pick up a pig skin until the come to uni!

I am a freshmen coach in the Twin Cities. I also work with the varsity o-line. Freshmen we run the spread out of shot gun and will go to pro or power I if needed. D- we'll run a 4-3 most of the time. I've coached 8 years between the HS and MS levels. I played a bit in college til the knees went out like the run and shoot. In HS, my coach used lots of motion to manipulate teams. I was an OT and he'd put me in motion. Nothing like a big man in motion. I want to see what other people are doing and thinking. I want to get better in many areas, o and d.

As the handle suggests I'm a coach in Canada. I've been at it for about 15 years now (about 19 seasons) currently at the professional minor league (aka semi-pro) level bringing American rules football to the Great White North! I am the HC/DC looking forward to our first playoff appearance this fall.
We are a spread offence with a dominant 3-4 cover 3 D (forced 31 turnovers in our first 14 quarters of play) and having fun with the greatest game ever.
Been around this site for a couple months and have found it to be an excellent resource to keep sharp and get a feel for what's going on in the football world. Glad to be here and look forward to getting into the mix a little more.

I currently volunteer at a local HS in NJ. In my brilliance I thought an accounting degree was a good idea. Now I'm just trying to translate that into a teaching cert so I can coach FT. I've played and coached in the Wing T and also coached in a spread system. Defensively, I am partial to the Split 4-4. I've actually had three HC interviews and because of the certificate issue I was selected for none of the jobs. I love to talk(chat, email) football and I am looking to learn.

Hello, I am the new DC at a very reputible 4A on the gulf coast. Moved here from Central Texas. We base out of a 50 but of course you have to be very multiple. Some people call it a 3-4 epending on wether you have d-ends or d-tackles. You know the kids now call it a 3-4 because they don't like to be called d-tackles suposedly d-ends are suppose to be more athletic...hmmmmmmm I don't know. Anyway glad to be here and looking forward to talking a little football.

Hey guys, I am a new head coach first year out of college. I am student teaching and HC of the JV team at a Class 4 team in MO. I am also the OC and coach the O-line and D-lines. We run a multiple offense. Many different formations, shot gun but mainly from undercenter. We are a zone blocking team, so far our bread and butter play has been OZ. We run a 4-4 as our base defense, but will shift in multiple defensive sets including a 4-3, 3-4 and 5-3 monster. I am relatively new to the site, but have learned a lot since I joined and can't wait to check the site everyday to talk some football.

Nick from IL
OC
O:Spread/Jet/Pass
D: My fave is the 46, but have coached the 44 and multiple 50
The knowledge on this board is both impessive and overwhelming. I thought I knew a little about the game until I read through some of the threads in here. I would love to sit down with so many posters on here and just get 'em talking.
This board should hold an online clinic where the speaker is viewed through video and answers questions in a fashion similar to the 'blackboard' system. Charge a nominal fee for expenses and to put a little weight into the pockets of those setting it up and speaking and we might have the world's first online football clinic.

Wow!
Lots of guys from all over!
I'm so thrilled I finally got this site unlocked at my school!!!!!
Let's see.... My username is due to where I grew up playing; Denison, Texas, home of the Fighting Yellow Jackets!
I have been coaching 6 years, this is my 7th. I didn't learn a dang thing until my third though!!LOL I am the D-line coach at a 3A school in North Central Texas. We run the 3-4, cover 3 shell, disguise coverage alot. Best scheme I've ever coached in.
Other experience: H.S.: Base 50 College: 4-3 cover 2 First job: Split (my LEAST favorite scheme! Jack of all trades, master of none, IMHO) Second job: 4-3 (27), then bastardized 4-3 put on by a crazy cajun. (2nd best scheme I've seen!) Third job: We never made up our mind!(DC problems) One of the reasons I was unhappy there!
Offensive experience: H.S.:Pro-I (favorite!) College: Spread (but awful scheme) First job: Flexed TE I (not a fan of the flexed end...) Second Job: One back-jet/pop/spinner series (O.K., really wing T stuf IMHO, and the Wing T is better!) Third job: Slot Pro I (Great scheme!! 2nd favorite!) Current: First job w/no offensive responsibilities. Makes me a better D coach, but I miss O too. We run tight slot one back wham, jet, pop, etc. Again, I think it is really Wing T, but straight wing T is better, IMHO)
Look forward to learning a lot from you guys!!!

I am in my 3rd year of coaching football and my first year at the high school level. I coach defensive tackles in a 3A school in Texas. I played and coached Division II rugby while in college. Just got back in to coaching after a short stint as a project manager for an energy company. Missed coaching.
We run the split defensively.
I appreciate this website and all the information shared and discussed. I have very much to learn.

...I'm a new member and loving this! I coach a 7th/8th grade youth football team in the Portland, Oregon Metro area. We run the local high school offense and defense. Wing T and 3-5-3. The HS team is ranked #2 in 5A. The strong youth program starting in 3rd grade, running the HS Off. and Def. has been a huge contributor to the success of the HS program. You all have forgotten more football than I'll ever learn. Fantastic site. No making fun of my FIGHTING DUCKS of OREGON and their uniforms!

I am a new member and this board has already been so great to get on and learn from.
I am a young guy fresh out of college. I declined to play in college for a couple reasons. One I wanted to focus on school and getting my education and two had a couple nagging injuries that I wanted to get healed up so I could bend over when I am 40. Just finished up my first year coaching here in a small school in southwest Ohio. It has been a bit of a change for me where I came from in high school. I went to a school that was right up the road from where I coach now and was known for its run and gun offense. At my new school we run a much more conservative pro I offense, although as this year progressed we were able to open it up alot more. On defense we run a base 4-4 look. In our league we have found that our 5-3 became the most effective with all the double tight wing t looks we were getting.
Our program is working on making a comeback to the glory it had a few years ago. Once again, a bit of a change for me. I went to a high school where winning was expected. Average margin of victories would be in the 30s for the regular season and we made the playoffs for 15 straight years including a few state championships. At my new school I came in to the middle of a 29 game losing streak. The program was really in need of a lot of work and with the help of the other great coaches we were able to break that streak after 35. In fact, our first win was also a shut out and we managed to shut out the team after that as well. We have got great coaches and great kids here and are looking forward to setting up a winning tradition. In advance I would thanks everyone for all the great advice and help I am sure I will recieve via this forum. Good luck to all the coaches out there!
