Been here a few months now so might as well introduce myself.. 24 years old and from Denmark (small country in Europe, since most of you probably never head of it ). Started out late with the game, when i was 18 as a player, and became a coach when i was 20 and had to stop playing when i was 23.. Since its a bit different system over here I got tossed into the Deep end from the beginning as Playing HC for a small team, which didn't go to well. Just about 1 year later i had to move and got another Head coaching job for kids in the High school age group and made 2 playoff runs with a Pro I system. The first year i coach pretty much all positions since i was the only coach. The year after i got some help and could cut it down to coaching OL/QB/DL. This year I have taken over the Head coaching job for the same team now its just the age group from 20 and up. For the first time i can pretty much focus on OL but i am still helping out with the QB. Pretty much in here to see what people are doing in the US and to get some ideas to help my education as a coach. Welcome. I have to say it, though: Dude, we have heard of Denmark. If nothing else we've had to read Hamlet.

Coaching 12 years got started young right out of HS. I have coached all positions, was a defensively oriented guy for the first 5 or 6 years, since then I have been an OC at the freshman level, We have ran wing and and option stuff (hate the option) over the years. multiple defenses either some version of a 5-2 or a 4-3 mostly reading G's and RBs' depending on the HCs' philosophy.

My signon is 'tojorich' and I just resigned from a HS frosh position (RBs+OC) in suburban Philly,PA. I'm currently looking for a HS opportunity. My experience is mostly on the offensive side of things with the Wing-T. HS Freshman - 4 years Weight ball - 15 years I love the game and try to learn something everytime I step into a Football environment.

wassup, first off, been on this site for just about a year, although today was the first time I found this part (Introduce yourself). all in all, this is an awesome website, has contributed greatly to my learning and understanding of this great game we all love
Anyway, I coach out in the middle of the pacific ocean;) at one of the larger hs on oahu. about to start my second year of vars fb, just dbs this year, although last year had dbs and slots. previous three years spent coaching intermediate (gr 7-9) fb, as db coach and DC
HS experience was in a run & shoot as qb and sb, one year of fs in a 4-2 cv3 no college exp, but did work two years as an equipment mgr at UWashington, where the love of the game (espec. coaching aspect) was re-kindled, even got to go to a Rose Bowl (2001-Go huskies!)
looking to gain as much knowledge about the game as possible, initially focusing on defense and dbs, but eventually expanding to all parts of the game.
Aloha!

Well, I found this site yesterday, haven't really gotten in depth with it too much yet, but I'll get to that
I'm currently a senior o/d-lineman for the South-Doyle HS Cherokees in Knoxville, TN, and plan on going to college at Tennessee(non-athletic) after I finish my JC schooling(slacked my first two years of HS). I plan on becoming a coach after I graduate from college
Coaching ------------- I have a particular fondness for the single-wing and wishbone formations, particularly the Neyland Single Wing, and the old-school Texas wishbone.
Defensively, I like the 4-3 and the 46
I hope to be coaching my HS in 10 years or so(maybe a bit ambitious)

Hey there everyone, I am still a youngin and will start coaching this fall at a 2A school in New Mexico. I played ball for four years in high school at 4A school but was only on the varsity senior year. I was about as average as a football player can get. No athletic ability, just a high pain tolerance and willingness to get hit.
Where I am going to be coaching runs the wishbone and 5-3 defense, and those are also my personal preferences for systems as well.
I am open to listen and learn anything I can, and would love to get any advice that someone would be willing to give me considering how young I am.

Hi everybody! I've been here a few months now. I'm a student at the University of Idaho, and I hope to coach high school someday. I'm a fan of the 4-3 on defense. Don't really have a preference on offense, so if I end up a coach I'll probably devise my own offense based off about 8 run and 8 pass plays from various offenses. I'm a HUGE fan of the constraint theory, so I'm sure the offense will apply that as much as possible.
To those to created this site, it's awesome! I love soaking up as much as I can about this sport, and this site is a great resource for that!

Thanks a whole bunch coach. She did show up to our super bowl last year and we won so she now believes me when I say I'm going to practice. Little victories.
Seriously, I do want to thank all of you that put so much time into this site.

I coach at a 2a school in Texas on the coast. Played in the split back veer, wishbone, 5-3 and the split. Coached linebackers in the split, 3-3 and now the 50. Last year I coached O-line in the spread after attending one of those tony franklin clinics.

HS O-line coach currently...SPED teacher....this will be my 40th season playing or coaching. I finally gave up coaching all sports other than football, so it is nice to be able to go to a game with my kids rather than be coaching.

I'm not really sure how I found this site but I'm glad I did.
I have 3 years of youth football coaching experience:
5-6 year olds in Biloxi Mississippi 2004-2005 (Hurricane Katrina cancelled our 05 season and transplanted me to Omaha,NE)
I joined a coaching staff here in Nebraska in 06 with an organization very well coached with their select teams and absolutely horrific coaching in their bottom feeder teams which I walked away from after one season due to unacceptable coaching IMO (I could elaborate but theres no reason to). Also in 2006 I attended a Chicago Bears "youth" oriented coaching clinic with Lovie Smith and his staff which was very informative.
In 2007 I joined a coaching staff in south Omaha (Screaming Eagles 30th & W 8-10 year olds) under one of the best head football coaches I have ever met (Craig Milleus). We finished the season at 9-1 with a non-select group beating a couple of "select" teams along the way. Since our season has ended I have studied Dave Cisar's "Winning Youth Football" books and DVD's religiously and look forward to coaching the select team this season.

I'm new to the double wing world!!! I have been watching and learning from a few great coaches. In fact the Head Coach has taking me under is wing and is teaching me the way of the force. I have been lucky to land with an egg head like him. The reason I called him a egg head is he's probably reading my post. " Go Bulldogs"
