I am an offensive quality control assistant in Indiana.
Just trying to learn more and more about the game and hopefully become an offensive coordinator or head coach in the future.

I definitely feel a little out of my league here, but I'm here to learn the game better so I can coach, so here goes:
I'm Chris, and currently reside in the Fort Lauderdale area in Fl. I only played a year of high school football. I quit because the coaches were horrible and did nothing to teach us the game, so I quickly became frustrated. I played DE in my short time.
I am a Sport and Fitness Management major at Troy University in Alabama, but finishing my degree the distance route. (online.) I also manage a GNC store. I want nothing more than to work in football in some capacity, and think I can definitely make my mark in coaching, but I'm waiting to finish my degree in a year, so I can really get into it. I tried to volunteer at a school in West Palm area as a kicking/punting coach, but moved pretty far, so had to give that gig up.
Any help anyone can give me, I would definitely appreciate it! Especially if anyone in the South Florida are needs a free hand with there program, on any level, and especially with the kicking game. I can't wait to learn more about the game!

I am not a coach yet. I hope to be one day. I don't know a lot about Xs and Os of the game yet. I'm getting there though. Here is some basic info:
Just call me Ozone. I've never actually played football. I'm too small to be able to play any position besides running back or full back and I wasn't good enough to get onto any of the HS teams. I went to 2 different high schools.
I haven't decided what I would run on offense or defense if I ever get a chance to coach. I'm just here to learn everything I possibly can. I do love the game a lot. I'm sure I'll love it even more once I learn the Xs and Os. I'm very interested in learning more about the Option offense that Paul Johnson runs.

I've been Lurking for a few years. I've been coaching Semi-Pro football while going back to school and finding a career that will allow me to get back into HS football.
The day has final come as I just accepted my first HC position. Small school but with recent success. I am definitely looking forward to this opportunity and will be sure to partake in many discussion on this site.
The Coaches here are informative and always seem willing to help. As a young coach, I will need that.

Hello everyone. My name is Mike and I live in Charlotte, NC. I am not a coach. I just want to be a student of the game for now. And I am very ignorant about the real nuts and bolts of football. I probably will not be posting too much because I don't have a knowledge base to pull from. So if I am posting it will be a question 99% of the time . I picked up a couple of books on defenses and I will mostly be patrolling the defensive boards because that is what currently interests me. Thanks for your time and all the wonderful and bright people that make this board what it is. Thanks, Mike

Ok, well, where to begin, I coach a "youth" team in southern Spain and omg am I going through a tough time. I read the problems that other coaches are having and I see that I suffer from all of them. I have a few kids that wont quit so I wont either.
The youth league called Juniors here runs a 9x9 full contact league. The age these are runs from 15 to 19 year olds. I run a basic pistol offense modified for 9x9 and to keep the defense on their toes I also run Power I and Pro formations as part of the offensive schemes.
My defense runs a modified 4-3 and a Dallas Flex style that has been very successful.
Next season I will be taking over the adult program and I need help in a bad way but I will do what I can.
I take the opportunity to thank everyone in advance for all of the great information on the web page.

Hello! I'm Teo, from Milan in Italy. I am not a coach and have never played football because i'm too small for it, but i do love learning about the x's and o's and i would like to coach one day. Sadly, football in Italy is not very popular, so it's not going to happen any time soon.

Boug
Played in High school and College as Lineman
2nd year DC for a very small school
Def. 4-3 and 4-2-5
Off. Multiple-Wishbone/Double Wing/Flexbone/Wild Cat/mixing in some spread and pistol formations this year
We are small all around team wise and player wise so we use multiple offenses as teams cant practice against all of them every week. Seems to work for us.

Hey, been lurking for a few months, spending wayyyy too much time reading this site at work.
DC on a semi pro team right now. Running an under front D. Play for a wing T high school myself but love watching and studying spread offenses lately; I'm sure more of which we'll see than the sort of 1970s-Redskins power offenses I've coached against so far.
I'd love to make coaching a career (30 years old right now) but I work a 9-5 and don't have a degree, so the usual teaching route isn't in the cards for right now. Truth is, I have a passion for history and like working with kids, so maybe I should bite the bullet and go to night school and get a degree or two and a teaching certificate, but balancing work and family has made that hard and it'd take years to do.

Hi, have also been lurking for a fair while, just finished my first regular season starting as receivers coach but filling the void as joint oc after the original oc resigned.
has been hard work but really enjoyed it. started coaching as help whilst injured but that has cut my career short and at 25 i know i have a long time in coaching ahead of me.
Coaching in Telford, England means there is not a lot of coaches around but must say the passion of the ones around is fantastic. Nothing better than having coaching to come home to after a 9-5 job.
Currently run a version of the air raid so lots of receiver work ahead for me!!

Howdy folks. Just wanted to say hello as a new user.
I'm not a football coach... rather, a wannabe football coach. In fact, I'm someone who gave up on the prospect of coaching to pursue something that I thought would be more rewarding financially and personally: being a lawyer. But I still find myself devoting an awful lot of free time to reading and studying the game beyond just what a casual fan would do. Hey, its never too late for a career change, right?
My history: I grew up playing backyard ball and wearing my dad out by running pass patterns as a kid. I was always too big to play pee wee leagues in my home town, so I didn't get a taste of organized ball until my freshman year in high school and fell in love. I started out as a tight end/defensive end, but eventually settled in as an undersized but athletic 3-tech defensive tackle. I was good enough to get looks from some D-1AA schools and a couple of bottom tier ACC Schools, but chose instead to pursue academics when I moved onto my freshman hall with 4 scholarship football players. The minute I met and saw their size and strength, I knew my playing career was over unless I wanted to transfer somewhere else.
So that's it. I'm here to learn whatever I can, maybe even develop enough know-how and confidence to convince myself to make the jump into coaching.
Thanks in advance for all the knowledge you'll share. I'll try to offer whatever I can - and if you get hurt in an auto accident or get pulled over for speeding, maybe I'll send you a business card.

Been on here lurking for a while, but I love this site. I'm a junior high coach in North Texas. I played in high school and college. I spent a couple of years at the high school, but moved back to jr high so i could have more weekend time with the family. I do want to work my way back to the high school, but I really enjoy working with the age group I have right now.

Hi Everyone!
I'm a football (and sports in general) enthusiast and software developer. I've been looking around online for an active community of football coaches to learn from. I've developed a football play diagramming software (PlaybookFootball) for the iPad and iPhone that enables coaches to create animated plays. Hopefully, with the help of this community I can make something that would be very cool and useful.
Nice to meet you all!

Been on here a while but just decided to post my bio. I coach at a high school in north Georgia. I've been coaching 18 years and have college (DIII and IAA) levels, high school and had a cup of coffee doing middle school. I've been in the wing-t, "I", split and 1 back systems (not double slot).
More of an offensive guy, but will adjust the defense to personal. I've been in the 50, both odd and even fronts and even a 3-5-3 (thanks Coach Cousins).
I coach wide outs now but have coached everything on offense and have all on defense but inside backers.
I love this site.

Some of you might remember me as "coachinghopeful" on here several months back, where I made way too many posts without much actual experience. I just got a bit too excited because I was learning so much from the fine coaches on this site and I wanted to be helpful.
This is my humble reintroduction to the group. The last year or so has been a very trying time so I put football on the backburner while dealing with other stuff. I'd hoped to be assisting a varsity program this season, but that's also had to wait.
I'm currently in my final year of grad school to get my teaching license and will be looking for a full time teaching/coaching gig to start in Fall of 2011. I live in NE Tennessee. Once I get my degree I'll be certified in 7-12 English and can add other licensure areas in Tennessee. I'm prepared to relocate and will coach in any capacity for the right team, though my personal preference would be QB, OL, DL, or WRs and DBs.
I'm back on here to just soak up as much knowledge about the game as I can, though I'm going to try and be a more low key presence and do more listening than discussing for a while. I've really missed this site. It's an invaluable resource for a guy in my position.
As for the new screenname, well, I never liked "coachinghopeful" much and hadn't planned on posting nearly as much as I did with it. I am and always will be Coach Arnold, so I thought I might as well just be myself.

I'm a young youth coach with ambition and love of the game. I've coached for two years at the middle school level, and this year I'm going to be volunteering. I hope to run the single wing offense, but I'm not the HC, so we'll see how things go. I was referred here by another coach from DC youth forum. I really like talking about schemes, but I'm starting to run out of play books over there. So I'm looking for some more insight here.

How's everyone? I'm a young coach from texas some of you may have seen on other forums... I promise to behave myself here because it's a football board and not a board full of posers... I'm an offensive guy and I'm always looking for new ideas or better ways to coach the old ideas... Hit me up.

Hi
I'm Dean, I come all the way from Australia, 19 y.o and am playing in my first year of football as a WR. 3rd string but moved to 2nd string. Don't know a lot about the game but do love it and I am intent on learning more and one day coaching in a bigger capacity than we have here in Australia.
I'm a student about to start a Sports Coaching course via correspondence/online. My plan is just to play for a while and slowly increase in helping in our juniors section as time goes on before taking up a bigger role in our senior side.
Hope I can learn a bit from the coaches on this site and progress through the ranks like i aim.

Hi everybody. I was an athlete trapped in a lineman's body and played virtually every position from on the line from high school to college. Have 2 years HS experience coaching OL and running backs. Currently coaching a start-up youth football team in my hometown who plays teams from Charlotte NC. Taking the Praxis I later this year to get certified so I can coach High School again. Would like to try college ball by way of GA then finding a spot somewhere. Son of a football coach so studying film and understanding schemes comes easy to me. Love offense but appreciating defense and learning how to stop people. Been on the site for about 4 years.

Hello everyone. I am new to this site as of yesterday. I coach 8 man football in Washington state at Crescent High School. I am in my fifth year. I played in high school for the same school I am now coaching.
Being at a small school, (K-12) we are limited in numbers. We have 18 kids out this year. There is just me and my assistant. I coordinate the offense and my assistant coordinates the defense. We work very well together. But, it is sometimes frustrating and hard to break up and work with just one position when there is only two of us.
I am trying better myself as a coach each and every day. This year we are trying to move to more of a zone blocking scheme. It is trying, but we are making improvement.

Hello all, I am the HC at a 4A school in the frozen field turf wastelands of Alaska. I love coaching and I love the state of AK. We recently are coming off a great season and we our excited to begin prep for 2011. We run the spread and morphed a run first system into a video game offense that ran the ball about 10% of the time. We had great receivers and were a lot of fun to watch...but... we have a lot of work to do to improve. We threw a ton of pics with a soph. QB and really are striving to improve our offensive attack. I'm excited to pick the brains of all on the boards!
Thanks!
