Howdy just stumbled on to this site yesterday from an arkansas website fearlessfriday.com. This site is amazing I looked at it for about 5 minutes before running down the hallway to tell some of the more veteran coaches about this site.
I have been coaching for 2 years, both years at different schools and both running different types of programs. My first school I was working with db's and rec's we ran a mid-line package, and on defense we ran a 4-4/4-2-5 look. the new school I am at runs a lot of shot-gun wingt sets and shotgun zone with passing packages to go along with it. I ran the defense this past year and we did a simple version of the 3-3 with slants and stunts do to lack of size, and putting our fastest players on defense.
I wish I could contribute more to this site, but the only materials I have is 3 jerry campbell playbooks and an arnsparger defensive book. I have yet to go to any clinics for football with sports running into each other and being a young coach I am still coaching many sports with any luck I will be able to attend some conferences this summer, and provide aquire some information for those who I am leaching from atm.
Again I wanted to compliment this site and anyone who is in the coaching profession that I know will hear of this site.

Hello All,
I'm a Junior level coach in Missouri (7-14 yr olds). I have 9s this year but it always changes. This is my 4th year coaching, 2nd as a head coach.
I am mainly an offensive guy, was a RB in HS in a double-wing.
I run a lot of stuff based around the I-Formation. I have taught the Maryland I (old school), Double-Wing, Power-I, and will be installing a Power-I with some Option thrown in there this coming year.
We have been tinkering with our D. Ran a modified 50 a lot last year, but we might switch over to a 46 or Gap 50, as we get these kids closer to HS age, we'll most likely switch to a 4-4 base.
Coaching Philosophy is largely based upon perfecting fundamentals, and managing the game with clock control. I emphasis one-cut running with my RBs and quick decisions by the QB.
I'm always looking for new drills especially ones that work well for youth players. I often compare tasks and management decisions at work to football (or sports in general). I look forward to gaining knowledge from this site as well as sharing what I know.

Hello everybody. Let me just start off by saying that I am a 21 year old college student with no coaching experience. I love the game of football and it is something that I am very passionate about and something I plan to turn into a career. I've played offensive guard, defensive tackle, defensive end, and linebacker in high school. I've played in the wing t, the veer, and the pro I offenses and a basic 4-4.
I've tried to keep my football knowledge up since leaving high school and find myself learning new things everyday through the help of sites like these and various coaching books and manuels. I bought copies of Tom Bass' Football Skills & Drills, the AFCA Offensive Football Strategies, the AFCA Football Coaching Strategies, the AFCA Defensive Football Strategies, and Allan Trimbles Coaching Football Successfully; which have all been valuable tools.
I've wanted to coach ever since leaving high school, but its difficult to find enough time to commit to a program with working fulltime and going to school, but I plan on attending the University of Central Florida's sport management and coaching program. In the meantime I've been trying to soak up as much information as possible and work on my own playbooks, plays, philosphies, coaching points, administrative points, and everything that goes into coaching football.
Offensively I consider myself an "I Football" guy, whose preference is a balanced attack out of the I, with plenty of motion, option, and play action passing. I am also a huge fan of the spread offense, but I am a big advocate of molding the system to your players...not the players to the system.
Defensively I'm a fan of the standard 4-3 and 4-4. I'm not very big on blitzing all the time and generally like to run cover 2 and cover 3, steaming of defensive line, and linebackers that like to toy around showing blitz. The biggest key to good defense in my opinion is getting hats to the football. In my opinion if you have a group of kids that just love to fly around, lay shots on people, and gang tackle; you will have a substantial defensive force.
I look forward to the opportunity to learn from all you coaches and share idea's and strategies with you all. If you have any tips, pointers, information, articles, videos, and especially advice about getting into coaching I would love to hear it. I am always eager to learn something new! Thank you all again!

Was looking for a cummunity that I could discuss football with and until a few days ago, couldn't find one. Having gone through the site, I am excited about the chance to discuss numerous topics and get input from fellow coaches.
Have been coaching on and off since 94. Took some time off to start my own company as I am not a teacher and for the past 5 years have been coaching in Utah County here in Utah. Just got the OC position over at one of the local schools and am looking forward to putting what I know to the test.
I am a defensive player by heart having played corner through college but I found my niche in coaching offense. I have coached all positions thoughout the years and am looking forward to upcoming year.
The interesting challenge coming up this year is our school is moving up another class. The school won the 3A state title a few years ago. After a couple of more winning seasons, the school moved to 4A and went 1-19. Now, due to size, we have been moved to the the highest classification of Utah to 5A into argueably the toughest Region in the state.
The School has been running the Wing-T for the past 4 years, but the kids and the community are excited to move away from it. I am hoping to install a version of the Pistol offense (waiting on approval from HC) and are fired up to put it on the field as we do not believe anyone in the state is running it right now.

Hey Coaches,
I've been coaching for about 5 years now, looking to continue to learn and find more resources. Currently I am the OC for my little league team (Senior Level) and I am the running backs coach at a local highschool in the Seattle area. Combining both teams I am leaning the Fly Offense and have run the Wing-T offense for one season. I also help coach the DB's in a pro style 4-3 Defense.
Any advice or help in learning either of those offenses will be appreciated.

Hi I coach a HS program up in Canada. Second year working with the system. Was the DB coach my first year, LB my second. Have experience playing TB and CB in HS and college up here in the white north. A bit of a different game with the 3 downs, alot more of a passing game and 12 men on the field, with a larger field and lots of presnap motion. I love this site though! Great drills and tips. This season will be my first as a DC. Very excited for the opportunity. Alot of the pressure and coverage packages run in the 4-2-5 packages that I find here on this page resemble the 4-3-5 that I run. Typically we stay in an aggressive type defense constantly pressuring the QB. This year I'm hoping to be able to implement a 3-5-4 when we see different situations as we have plenty of talented backers and some great d-linemen returning this season to give many different looks. If anyone has any experience with this type of defense, please feel free to PM me and we can discuss different ideas. Does everyone(who runs a 3-5 or a 3-4 for that matter) typically run a package where the NT,DEs plug gaps or do you have them shooting the gaps/attacking the edge when bringing the blitz? Thanks

Hi everyone.
I'm a 25-yr old that recently came to a crossroads in his life about what I want to do. I am currently attending Bellevue University for my Bachelors of Science in Internet Systems and Software Technology. The university is based out of Nebraska and I'm enrolled in their 15-mo accelerated degree program.
Anyways, I came to the realization that I have absolutely no desire to program for a living as I was merely doing the program for personal reasons and not career reasons.
My true passion lies in coaching football, basketball, track, and maybe baseball. I was pointed to this website from another message board.
I currently live in Florida and am wanting to begin my coaching career despite having no experience coaching. My father coached Texas high school ball for nearly 20 years all over the state. My favorite school he coached at was Grapevine and even after we moved from there, that school has always had an impact on me. We left a few years before they went on to win State for the first time.
My first coaching gig will be in a 9-12 year old YMCA youth baseball. It's a coach pitch league and my first real learning experience that includes baseball.
Anyways, I'll be browsing the boards and if I have anything I can offer for advice, I'll be happy to offer as well as accept advice. I'm all eyes and ears as I'm here to learn as much as I can.
PS -forgot to include my football history
Played high school ball in Grapevine, Muleshoe, and Morton all in Texas. I've actually played every position, minus punter and kicker, since seventh grade but settled in at left guard for my Sophomore season as a starter on Varsity. That was my last season as I skipped my Junior year (I was held back in 7th grade and decided to skip) and decided working at Popeyes was more important than having fun and learning. I am a student of the game and quickly absorb information. I was a 5'6" 165 lb left guard that suprising never allowed a sack despite opposing defensive lines doubling over me. I was fortunate to be that size as I was never called for holding as refs just figured that with my size, I was just getting ran over. Of course, I was dragging them down and got away with it. I settled in at left guard because I was fast for that position and smart. I understood blocking schemes and was always where I was supposed to be when the play called for it. They tried me at defensive end but I was never strong enough to out muscle the left tackles and never did learn any finesse moves to gain an advantage.
I love the offensive line, runningbacks, and linebackers. Those are where my interests but am willing to learn anything and everything I can about other position, schemes, etc.
My specialty is the offense as I have more experience there and my philosophy as that a great offense is your best defense. I love to pound the rock to open up the pass.
Coach Lacefield

Just got on this site as well. I am 26 years old and just got the defensive coordinator job. My HC has called it in the past. I don't know exactly how we are gonna do things but I expect that he and I will call it together. Meaning Front/Coverage. I played some small college football and coached LBs as a GA. I have only been at one high school and really love my job and the kids that I get to coach. We have changed our defensive scheme to better fit our kids. We base out of a 4-3 (27). Slide our LBs some and make most adjusments in our secondary. Looking forward to a good year. Good luck to all!!

Hi guys....love this site (sorry, have been an on @ off again lurker for awhile)! It's full of ADULT conversations, topics, and just good old down home advice. Without a doubt, the best fottball website and community on the net. Cheers!
I have been an o-line coach, WR coach, passing game coordinator, and offensive coordinator in the midwest, Europe, and the deep south. Alot of my best stuff is simply a conglomeration of info and ideas I got from reading this board!

Playing experience Played at a 6A North Alabama High School 1 year at LB one spring at DE/TE Moved in with my grandmother, gained 70 pounds (not good weight) and I never touched the football again. Finished up playing guard and tackle in a veer offense from the I formation.
Went to college in Tuscaloosa, got a degree (not in teaching) then went to work at the first Mercedes Benz plant in the US. I hated it. Went and asked a local coach if I could volunteer and things just took of from there. I worked at Mercedes right up until spring practice the next year started. I quit Mercedes the first day of spring practice, went a wrote a personal check for 2,650 dollars to the University of Alabama and the rest is history.
This will be my 4th year coaching football in Tuscaloosa and I'll graduate this spring. I have coached WR's/TE's/and the OL. Right now I'm fooling around with this weird bunch of guys that wear yellow jerseys and get to touch the football every play. Bastards.
Systems I've coached in: -Split Back Veer -Double Wing -Spread Zone/Option/Air Raid
Currently we are Spread Zone on offense and 4-3 Quarters/Zero on defense.

Been a Rule 10 assistant coach at a 4A school in Eastern Kansas and a 3A school in Central Kansas (currently). Even interested tabling in the 8-Man game in the future.
Offense - Been a RB & WR coach (Spread) Defense - Been a CB & LB coach (4-3 and 4-4)
Still a greenhorn in many ways when it comes to experience, but a site like this is AWESOME and really helps out.
