What's up tog, zach86 here, I am a head football coach and we run a spread offense but try to keep it 50/50. On defense we run a multiple, but are a base 4-3. Our district is very varied so we have to change our fronts and coverge alot. We try to keep the basic reads the same.

I have been registered for a while and have never introduced myself, sorry.
I am the assistant coach of a middle school team in Georgia. We run the wing-t on offense and a 4-4 on defense. I coach O and D-line as well as special teams. I have coached middle school for 4 years and we have won 2 championships. I am willing to help any coach who needs it, one because it's the right thing to do and two because so many coaches helped me in the begining. I wish I had known about this site then. This is by far the best site I have seen on the internet, and I spend about 6 hours a day on the internet.

I have been coaching for 8 years now, all at the same school in Iowa. We are a 4A school. I have worked my way up from Volunteer to head Freshmen and now I am the head Sophomore coach. I just found this site earlier this week, while watching the National Championship game. My wife wishes I didn't find it as I have spent way to much time here! I played in high school and was recruited by many Division III schools, but when an opportunity to be a manager at a major university came up, I decided that would be the route I would take. I loved that experience, but sometimes wish I had the college playing experience!

Played football from age 10 through small college. Went to college as a Strong Safety but just didn't have the gidy up that the DB coach wanted - I wanted to hit people but he figured if I couldn't catch them it didn't matter. Got moved to QB because I could throw it a little and the rest was history. Spent the next four years returning kicks (not because of speed but because I was "dependable"), punting and playing mop up QB duty. Always knew I'd coach so knew that any experience was going to suit me for later. Ran a ton of scout team and learned as much as I ever thought I would.
This coming season will be my 25th year coaching. I'm currently a head coach at the H.S. level and have been for the past 12 years. I have been at 4 different high schools with varying degrees of success.
I've been a defensive coordinator and an offensive coordinator. I favor coaching QB's and DB's but have coached every position but OLine.
Offensively, I believe in a balanced attack and have been very multiple in my offensive philosophy. At one time, I spent many hours in Chris Linehans' office at the UofW before he became a pro coach. I learned a ton. I love zone, counter and boot.
I believe there are no bad offenses only bad approaches. When someone can coach well, it shows in any offense and defense.
I like this website because I know there is a wealth of knowledge that us FB guys are willing to share. If I can give back 1/100 of what I've stolen, I will die complete.

I am a HC at a AAA HS in Western PA. This fall will be my 2nd year as HC although I was an assistant at the AAA & AAAA level for 23 years previously. We run a conventional Pro I formation and combine it with a variation of the WVU Spread Run Offense with contributions from Cal U of PA and W&J of PA for the passing game. On defense we run a pro 3-4 that we morph into a pro 4-3 using the same personnel. I'm looking forward to getting more information on running the spread offense and just learning about football in general from coaches all over the country.

Hello, guys! I'm an Offensive Coordinator at a 2A high school in South Carolina. We use an I offense as our base and have branched out with a multiple spread package based on the I. We also have a play action package based on our most successful running plays.

Hey how's it goin'? great advice on the intro's. Just wanted to do the same. A lot of you have a lot of experience it seems. I consider myself learning all the time. Started coaching 8 man flag for kids after ending my career in jc. Figured I'd be a better coach. So far I've worked my way up as a pop warner head coach for the last 3 seasons(No kids of my own). During last season I coached LB's at the JV level as well as the pop warner level. Busy Busy Busy! Just learning and taking my time to move up the ranks as far as I can go.

Hey,
32 year old assistant coach in Little Rock, AR. Never played a down of football in my life. Just kind of stumbled into coaching football. When I was offered a head track job at a junior high they also gave me the assistant football job as well. Have loved it since the first day. After 1 year at the junior high I became a DC at a small, private school in Little Rock. Then went on to become a middle school head coach at a larger school, now I am the WR/DB coach at a 5A school in Little Rock.
I have hundreds of playbooks on my hard drive. If you are looking for anything just PM me. I am always looking for stuff I don't have.
Glad to be here.

:oWOW all the experience in this room is simply amazing. I am a College Business Prof turned want-to-be coach. At age thirty-something, I am a bit of a late comer to the coaching game, but it is a desire that has been deep rooted in me since I was young. Seems with more Universities offering Master programs these days, us guys with "just Master Degrees" are being forced to obtain that aditional 3 initials (PhD) or find other means of teaching. SO I have made my break for the light at the end of the tunnel and heading for the coaching game.
I played in HS for a very well respected Texas High School Coaching legend and had a go as a running back for a small college in Texas until an injury to the ankle informed me it was not wise for me to be playing any longer. I am an analytical person so breaking down and finding patterns in opponent behavior comes natural to me.

I am Coach Buck, I have coached at the HS level in NC for 7 years. Unfortunatly, I had to make a financial decision and slide into real estate as couple years ago. However, I have stayed in the game with contact to coaches and scouting for HS and college teams. I have joined a Semi-Pro coaching staff in Wilmington, NC so that will give me my fix until I get back.
I have been a Co-DC at the 4A level (highest in NC) however I consider myself more of an offensive mind. I love the game and I would love to talk football anytime any place.
Thanks, I look forward to learning somethings from you guys and I hope that I can offer somethings for you as well.
Sincerely, Coach Buck CoachBuck@hotmail.com

I am from Texas. This is my third coaching and I was supposed to be the head football coach. We ended up cancelling our season but I actually got to coach one scrimmage and game plan for 1 real game. I was an assistant at this same school for the 2 previous seasons, one on a really good team and one on a really bad team. I was also the head middle school coach for two years. I've dealt with both sides of the ball mostly WR's and DB's. As a middle school coach I worked with the QB. I have experience game planning both offensively and defensively as well as calling the game defensively. On defense, while I am not an expert on any we have run multiple defenses, depending on the opponent but or base defense was the 4-4 and the 5-3. In high school we ran the wing-t then switched to the I. I have coached the wing-t for the past 3 years with some I and the spread look. I consider my self to be a wing-t guy because my mentor is a wing-t guy plus I like the turns and twist of the offense. Obviously since I am from Texas I can't deny the appeal of smash mouth football that comes along with the wing-t. I am looking to move into another direction next season and hopefully become an offensive coordinator as I believe that my current school will be playing 6 man football next season. I would like to get my hands on every video for WR's DB's and the wing-t that I possibly can. I am 24 yrs old and I hope to win a state championship one day much the same way that the Ravens did. running it down your throat on offense mixing in playaction and knocking the snot out of you on defense.

randyman, I am very analytical as well and I like you have one of those master's degrees but that analytical part drives me nuts because I can't seem to sleep or release any frustration after a loss because I am analyzing every single play in my head!!

I am 22 yrs. old and from Arkansas. Played QB/DB throughout pee-wee, junior high, and high school. Played college baseball for three years and decided to play football my fourth year of college. I ended up making all-conference in my first and only year of college ball. I received a lot of interest from teams overseas, as well as indoor teams here in the states.
I played in Switzerland in 2006 and signed a contract with the Rock River Raptors (United Indoor Football) in October, but got out of the contract to go back overseas. I will be leaving to play in Finland in April.
I have about one year of college left until I get my degree and it's killing me putting it off, but I know I will regret it later if I didn't play for as long as I could. I love the technical side of football and my college coach (who has over 30 years of experience) said I was the best student of the game he had ever been around.
I'm very offensive-minded...I believe I'll make an excellent QB coach, OC, and eventually HC someday.
I just found this website a few days ago and I'm blown away! It's by far my favorite site on the net. I will be spending a lot of time here, so I look forward to getting to know and learning from all of you!

I am an Offensive Coordinator at a NY High School and have been the last 4 years.
I played College, Arena, and Semi-Pro Football as a WR.
I Love the passing game ;D (naturally) but I do enforce a balanced attack on offense. Currently we are running a spilt back option set offense and also plenty of Shotgun as well. (depending on the talent)
I love the game and hope to learn much more form all of you.

Just completed my 23rd year of coaching HS ball in AZ (all at the same school). I've coached every level and about every position. I've been the HC for our freshman team the past 6 seasons and will leave a 19 game win streak to return to the varsity level coaching DE's & TE's. I'm very impressed with this site- what a ton of great material/minds. And I've not seen any internet induced testosterone flair ups from anyone and that is really refreshing.

I am a Texas boy. I coach the oline. We primarily run the spread, but also run the pro I at times. (usually short yardage situations) I do not coach defense any more (sadly) but we currently run a 4-3. At my previous school I coached oline, dline and inside linebackers. We were a wing t team offensively and a split team defensively. I too am a student of the game and although I have just recently joined the site, I am extremely happy with it and I have already accessed some great information.
Thanks to Coach Huey and TOG and all you others that have made this site happen.
