I am a current Division III athlete.
Surprisingly enough, I started out coaching after graduating high school, and after a few years decided I missed playing enough to go back.
I started out in charge of a local middle school program (being a head coach at 18 is scary).
My next move was up the ladder at the school to the high school, where I was JV defensive coordinator (more responsibility, but less parental involvement, so it was better).
The year after that, I got in touch with the head football coach for a DII GLIAC school in the area and got in as a student-assistant. I helped the HC coach DB's, and was also in charge of the offensive scout team (insane amount of work and responsibility, but hardly any parents to worry about at all, plus my job was football so how much better can you get).
After that is when I made the decision to transfer and resume my playing career. I currently play defensive line, and will be graduating in December. After that, who knows. HOPEFULLY I can find a G.A. spot so I can coach and also work towards my Masters.

I've been dragging my feet for forever since "The Old Coach" went to Rivals.com, trying to decide where my new home for posting could be... I coach in East Texas (Football/Baseball), originally from West Texas.

Hey guys, I'm currently playing and starting coaching come January in the UK (At the age of 16, needless to say, I'm bricking it). I got a position as junior flag D coach and DB coach (11-15 year olds, as you can't play contact ball until you're 14 over here), at the recommendation of one of my coaches (I always understood the technical side well).
Playing wise I play DB (CB mostly, but a bit of safety) and am looking forward to coaching.

Assistant coach in a youth team in germany. Still playing for a amateur club. Currently we are installing tacklefootball for kids younger than 15 years old. Since more than 12 years there was no tacklefootball league for 12-14 year old kids. Here in germany we have a club system. That means, most of the schools are not providing a big sports program. Most afternoon activities are provided by clubs. Most of the kids I coach never played football before nor watched a game. For those who don´t know, in germany the most popular sport is soccer. Finally, sorry for my english.

I’m a Varsity Assistant Coach in a small high school, we are running the Wing-T Offense and 4-3 Defense. I coach both Linebackers and Offensive Lineman. I have a strong Christian faith. My coaching philosophy is based on developing young men of character who will be able to apply the lessons learned on the gridiron to generate success in life.
I believe in the words of Fredrick Douglass “It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.”

I am a 2nd year head coach that took over a program that I was already a part of. I have been a d-coord. for a number of years. At present I am looking at turning over the defense (odd-stack) to someone else and taking over the offense. We have struggled with offense for a number of years and I feel it needs a fresh look. I could use some experienced thoughts here. I am going into my third year and want things to go a bit better.

I just finished my second season as head coach in a program that has struggled offensively for a few years. I was the defensive coordinator prior to being the head coach. I think I have found someone that would do a good job with the defense and am looking for some advice on offense. I need to get the kids excited about offense and am considering changing things like terminology. I am looking for some experienced advise.

Greetings, my name is Carey McCray and I am the WR coach at a high school in Charlotte NC. I have about 10 years of coaching experience, however the majority of that was youth ball. I moved up to the midget level a couple of years ago and coached primarily 8th-10th graders. At that point I realized I wanted to coach high school ball. I spent a year coaching freshman and moved to Charlotte where I am now coaching at the varsity level. I have coached every position but QB and DBs. I was an OLB and a WR by trade, so those positions are where I am most comfortable, but I can definitely coach the OL and DL also. I also have been a DC for a couple of years. I just found out about this message board and I will be wearing it out. I would love to chat with any other coaches in the Carolinas specifically the Charlotte metro area.

Hi, I'm coaching a Swedish football team up in the northern parts. We are currently running a multiple formation offense. Were we give the same pass with different looks up front. We are using 3-3 stack, 4-3 (main) and 5-2 formations in defense. Gap controlled defense with penetration responsibility for our DL.

Whats up guys Dacoordinator here....been on for a while but just now coming to introduce myself.
I have had many years of playing experience for my age. Receiver and Quarterback most of my life. Playing experience recreation since 9 HS Varsity all 4 years D-1 football (ACC) With the playing experience, I've played in basically 2 or 3 sets I can remember in HS School my coach ran out of the typical pro-set power game college we ran out of the spread mostly.
Coaching experience First year coaching I'm back with my Head Coach from High school but at a different school. We run mostly the spread. I am trying to convince him to let me be the Offensive Coordinator because I have just came from running the spread and believe I have a good understanding of it. I am eager to have a responsiblity of that sort on me in coaching to see how i handle it..

I'm 26 from NJ. Been coaching 7 years now. Almost right out of high school. Started out in junior football as an OC. Then was a Co-OC for 1 year with Ryan Grant (Green Bay Packers) and now I'm a currently varsity running back coach. Offense is my passion. I study the ins and outs of it religiously and I have created my own playbook and terminology out of many old and current existing systems. I'm just waiting my turn to set it loose on the big stage.
This is a great site loaded with useful information and I hope to be a steady reader as well as a contributor.

Hey guys,
I've been around on this board for about a year. I've currently changed my screen name since I switched schools. My old screen name did not allow annonymity. I don't plan on bashing anybody or anything; I just thought I'd have a fresh start with this one...
Anyway, this site absolutely rocks, man. I could click and read and click and read all day and still not get through everything. This has to be the best resource out there. I am continually amazed with how helpful everyone is...
I'm excited to get back to posting. I have a lot of questions being a first-time defensive coordinator. I had playing experience in the 4-4, 4-3, and 3-4. I have coached for 5 years (one at my college alma mater after I got done playing and 4 at the high school level). I have coached defensive backs in the 3-4, 4-3, and 4-4. I plan on running the 4-3 next year.
I sincerely look forward to mixing it up with you guys on the board...
Thanks in advance!

Hi coaches
Just got hired as a head coach in Denmark for at team of 13 - 16 year olds.
First coaching job ever, but have some experience playing. We are playing 7-man football, which might seem strange to people from more football oriented places, but over here football is still a small sport.
I've been looking at the forum for a little while now, and only have all of the best compliments to the site so far.

I don't actually coach football, but I do study it quite a bit. I broadcast high school football in Montana and work on the pre-game and post-game shows for the University of Montana Grizzlies. I have an older brother who would like to be a coach down the line. Personally, my favorite offense is a straight up "I" formation. You can do almost anything out of it. And on defense, I prefer the 4-3 to the 3-4 but almost all teams these days have both packages installed. So I guess I'm just trying to learn something new each day, whether it be a scheme, play or drill. Thanks guys, look forward to talkin' pigskin with all of you down the road.

Hey, my is Aman and im a 17 year old student in HS. Played CB at youth/HS level for about 5 years. Football is my life, I don't know what I would do if their was no football. I currently want to learn as much as possible. I want to read all the books, articles, sites, and learn a lot of different techniques/schemes and on leadership as well. Hope one day I would be given the oppurtunity to coach in the HS/College level. Hope to learn something new every day and continue to build upon increasing my knowledge and passion for the game. Great site and thanks.
