Here's my first post.
I've been a head middle school coach for 11 years, love this level of football, had plenty of opportunities to go to HS and stayed right here because I love it. I coach in a very competitive inter county league where we have 7 middle schools that all have about 1000 students each, and it's very competitive. Several of the coaches in our league are ex-pros (One from the Redskins and another from the Eagles, two from the Titans). Middle School football in this county is almost as big as HS ball is. (We have 6 HS programs and almost all of them go deep into the playoffs every year. Seldom a year goes by that we don't have a t least one state champ.)
I have a staff of 5 paid coaches and a few volunteers.
I am the 6th head coach at this school in the 5 years. (was at another school in the same district previously).
Mostly I've come to this board looking for ways to boost my O. I'm a pretty darn good D coach, but we lost 6 games last year by one score and ended up 2-6. I need to put more points on the board if I want to keep this job. Hopefully you guys can help me out.
I run a Split-4 D and T formation on O with multiple sets. Next year I'm thinking of going I formation with some single back sets, but I haven't made up my mind yet.

Played OL/DL in a wing-t/5-2 in high school in Ohio. I still try to follow the game and stay up on everything and would love to coach, but walking away from my current job isn't a good financial decision. The coaching is going to have to wait 20-30 yrs until I go into a second career.

Hello fellow coaches, My name is Coach C and I coach in North Carolina. I graduated from Appalachian State in 2004 and couldn't find a job. I had 8 or 9 interviews and no takers. I went down to a playoff game at my old school and talked to my head coach, about a month later I had a Health/PE teaching job and coaching football and track.
My first year, I was the offensive and defensive line coach for JV. This last season, I was the defensive line coach for varsity. I'm still trying to learn everything I can about the game and try to spend atleast an hour a day or more studying playbooks, reading football books or reading coaching books on philosophy, leadership etc. So, if you have any suggestions for any good books, let me know.
Thanks, and I look forward to learning all I can Coach C

I am 26 years old and just finished my 3rd year of coaching at the high school level. I am a varsity Wide Receivers Coach at D3 school in central Ohio. We run a speard offense of empty sets and 1 back however we throw in some double tight and power sets to give variety. The great thing about coaching is you never know where it will lead and luckily for me it carried onto a staff with a teacher/former coach of 12 years ago and I enjoy every minute of it.

A new member. A Brit coaching British kids in the UK. I am HC and OC of The University of Essex Blades. I have always been a Wing T guy but this year we have moved to Jetsweep and it's killing everyone!
Every year we turn over approximately 1/3 of out team due to graduation, we then have maybe 5 weeks to take kids of 18/19 years who have never played football and get them ready to go. It can be a little hectic at times!
This year (so far) we are undefeated and ranked No1 in the UK (BCAFL). I'm looking forward to sharing some info on how to stay there!

Spent 4 years in OK as LB coach, special teams coordinator, and asst. OL coach. The next 2 years were HC/OC/DC of a small school in Oklahoma. All 3 levels were coached in OK...JH/JV/HS. You have to do it all there at most places (4A and below anyway). Came to Texas and spent first 2 years as a JH coach at a 5A feeder, before sitting out a year for birth of child, then getting back in a nearby 5A feeder for a school who has made the playoffs 4 of last 5 years. Looking to get back in HS ranks next year in whatever capacity needed.

Hello Coaches, I'm an Ohio boy, on the West Virginia border. I only played high school ball, after all that my feet and knees were shot. I coached my way through college to pay tuition.
Playing Experience
Wing-T on O, multiple 4-4, then switched to a 3-4 as a senior.
Coaching Experience
Jr High - Wing-T, multiple 4-4 on D This year we switched to a 4-3 Monster and gave up only two scores all season.
High School - Multiple I, 1 back w/ down schemes and the Virginia Tech 4-4 on D Got to the state semi-finals, and got waxed by what is now a very good D2 coach in the West Virginia Conference.
College Experience - Multiple I, 1 back w/ zone schemes, 3-4 on D We went 2-8, but lost 3 games by one score or less in the best D3 Conference in th country.

Hello, Coaches, I am Rudy Wyland and coach for Team USA Football. Our website is still being constructed and is a great work-in-process. You can see it at www.teamusafootball.org . Please visit it. I, and a great group of coaches, work with adult amateurs (not sem-pro) and travel to Europe to play in Austria, Germany, Italy, Great Britain, Czech Republic and, soon, Japan, Mexico and Canada. We hope to attract the Russians to a game as well. We coach a multiple 40-base front on defense and an offense that is a hybrid of Ron Jenkins Multiple WCO and the single back spread. It's great to have found this website and appreciate the service it provides to all coaches. I joined this past November and have been haunting the thing ever since while reading some great and informative posts. Best, Rudy L. Wyland

Coaches-
Been a HC in Arkansas for 10 years. We have always been in the no-huddle spread on offense and went to the 33 stack a couple of seasons ago. Just found the site. I am looking forward to trading some ideas.
