I have just join the board and want to introduce myself.
Currently OC at 3A school in East Texas. I also coach LB's
I have coached at almost every level of football in Texas.
I really love defense, I played LB in HS and College. Run Pro Style/some spread offense Coached 4-3/3-4/3-3 defense We currently base out of a Miami 4-3 cover 2, but we have multiple fronts and coverages.
My Dad has coached for 36 years and counting.
I BELIEVE COACHING IS ABOUT REACHING YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN AND LEADING THEM FIRST TO THE LORD AND SECOND TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN LIFE.
My Dad always told me when coaching becomes a JOB then it is time to get out.

Hello, I'm a football official. I found this site through a football officiating site. I've been officiating for a few years now. I'm a varsity official in my area. We work under NFHS rules. I think there's some interesting rules discussion taking place here and I think I have something to contribute. There are some familiar names here and they do a great job too. The history about the rules posted by Bob Goodman is very interesting. I look forward to jumping in the rules discussion. I'm going to start with the unnecessarily well discussed "eye black" change. Did anyone notice more important and enforceable rules were changed? Doesn't seem so. Thanks!

I am a HC at a d5 school in California. In my younger years I played Qb(8th) noseguard(9th) Monster(10) G/LB (11-12)and OLB in JC where I was on my 1st conference championship team(1979) at Citrus College in Glendora/Azusa,Ca..I am in my 3rd year in this position but I have taught and coached football and wrestling at this HS for 26 years(I took 3 years off football to spend more time with my kids). I have been the OC,DC,ST coordinator on Varsity as well as Head JV during my tenure and feel like I am one with my school. I love my days at my school as well as our students. I am thrilled to find this site as I have insecurities regarding my x's and o's . I spend a lot of time with our players in our weight room,teaching classes, and summer camp. I enjoy building relationship as much as football fundamentals. I have received much help in my reading of this forum and the Football HEADS advice here is sound. Now that wrestling season is over I look forward to growing in wisdom and stature as a football coach and being on this site more often. Go Eagles

My name is Bill Parker and i am 26 years old. My love for the game of football started at a young age (4) or so. I began playing at 6 and started studying the game during my teens. I didnt play in high school because i was division 1 caliber in soccer. After high school i thought coaching was out of the question but all the while kept studying the game. Just a few months ago i decided to givev it a go and asked to volunteer for a semi pro team here in New York. After one practice the coach moved me from ball boy to wide receiver coach and its been amazing ever since. I feel like this is what i was meant to do and im thankful tovthis site for some of knowledge ive aquired over the years. Ive always wanted to coach division 1 college ball and will do anything it takes to get thrre. My favorite part about coaching is watching your guys getting better each practice. If anyone on this site ever has any questions or suggestions id be happy to assist / listen. I thank my dad for being such a fan and exposing me to the game at a young age.

Lets see...where to start. I played football from 6th grade up and through my senior year in H.S. My H.S. years (the late '80s)were spent playing for one of the greatest coaches ever (IMO), Vern Fredli. Unfortunatley my playing days ended then when I decided to join the Navy in '89. When I was stationed in Yokosuka, Japan back in '92, I tried playing for the Yokosuka Seahawks (a military semi-pro team) but blew my right knee out about 2 weeks into the season. Last year however, an opportunity pressented itself in the offer to come out and help coach the Southern Connecticut Sting. For the 2010 season, they were a Single-A semi-pro team that plays in the New England Football League, which at the time consisted of 39 other teams covering 3 different levels, A, AA and AAA. I coached OL and DL for the Sting and we ended up with a 7-2 overall record (losing in the first round of the playoffs). Now in my last year in Navy, I think I've found my next career path...coaching football. I've started by attending and receiving my Connecticut Coaching Certificate (which now includes a concussion section), now I just need to take the Red Cross First Aid and CPR course and submit all that to the CT board of Ed to obtain my actual CT Coaching Permit which will allow to coach anything K-12 in the state of CT. I've been accepted as a volunteer assistant coach at one of the local H.S., so this will be my first official year as a coach. Once retired, I plan on using my GI Bill to go after a Sports Managment Degree with a minor in Coaching (probably at UCONN). I've been looking through these boards for the past week or 2 and if anyone has any advice for a late blooming rookie coach, I'm all ears.

My name is Chris Chudada and I'm 35 years old and I love the game of Football! I have been on this board many times but never had the chance to introduce myself until now, So here it goes, I have 14 years of experience playing organized football on many levels, and 15 very successful years as a semi-professional football league administrator. I'm also a certified official and have officiated many youth football games.
My experience is as follows:
1996 - 2010 Ironman Football League - Founder & CEO
Certified Officiating Experience 2006 – Present Youth Football
Football Playing Experience 2004 West Milwaukee Gladiators Semi-Pro (Offensive Center) *Team Captain 1999-2003 Menomonee Falls Crusaders Semi-Pro (Defensive End, Offensive Center) 1997-1999 Pewaukee Warhawks Semi-Pro (Defensive End, Offensive Center) *Team Captain 1995-1997 Marquette University Club Team (Offensive Center, Tackle) *Three Year Starter 1994 Waukesha North H.S. (Offensive Guard, Defensive Tackle) *Varsity Letter 1991-1993 Waukesha Catholic Memorial H.S. (Defensive Line) *Lettered
Career Awards & Honors 2008 – Minor League Football News Hall of Fame - Class of 2008 2008 – Motivational Guest Speaker at Martin Club Banquet 2007 – American Football Association Hall of Fame - Class of 2007 2005 – Ironman Football League Hall of Fame - Class of 2005 2005 - Minor League Football News Football Executive of the Year - Midwest Region 2004 - Minor League Football News Commissioner of the Year - Midwest Region 2003 - Menomonee Falls Crusaders Hall of Fame - Class of 2003
I officially started my coaching career last season because I felt I had a wealth of knowledge about the game that I wanted to share to young athletes. I started out as a High School Varsity and Junior Varsity Inside Linebackers coach and loved every minute of it. We ran a 3-4 defense which I love for 2 reasons. One, because it matches up very well against any offensive formation, and two, its an aggressive, attack style defense thats puts a lot a pressure on the QB.
This year will be my second year of coaching football on a high school level and I hope in a couple of years to advance and become a college coach. Hopefully through hard work and perseverance my dream of being a college coach will eventually come true.
Goodluck to all of you this season!

Hello! Just registered for the boards and figured I'd introduce myself. I'm 21 years old and an assistant at a school in Western Pennsylvania. I was recruited to play DIII football at a prestigious Western Pennsylvania school but suffered a series of difficult concussions that forced an abrupt ending to my career. So, instead, I was fortunate to attach myself to an excellent program as a young coach.
It has been an absolutely amazing experience and something that I hope to do for the duration of my life. I have decided to pursue education (history) and will be attending a one-year graduate program to obtain my certificate/post-graduate degree.
Having said that, I'm excited to delve into the depth of knowledge that many of the coaches on here surely hold.

Played QB at St Francis Xavier University in Canada. (2005-2009) Came to play for the Osnabrück Tigers of the German Football League. (2010-2011)
-Now OC for the Osnabrück Tigers. (Shotgun Spread) -Osnabrück Tigers Youth Coach. (ages 15-19) - State Champions -Ontario Summer football QB coach, Junior Varsity. -Coached Highschool this past fall in London, Ontario. (Canadian Spread) - City Championship finalists. I coached QB's. Our QB signed with Arkansas, but willl play a different position.
I have coached 3 high school spring camps and 2 seasons of highschool football. I graduated from University in 2009. Most of my coaching experience is with Quarterbacks and Recievers, although this year I am coaching the O-Line.
We currently run a shotgun spread with a no huddle element. We run Zone read, stretch, Iso, Trap, This year we have introduced a jet sweep package. We throw 4 verts, smash, shallow cross, mesh, sail, 3 deep curls, spacing, snag. We also throw a mirriored quick game. We screen with bubble and slip, as well as a tradition dop back RB screen, and a sprint out throw back screen.
This is only my second season coaching the American game, but I have found the transition to be smooth and easy.
I'm very excited about learning as much about the game of football as possible.

Hello everybody, my name is jburk and I'm a footballaholic. ;D
Seriously though, I currently coach 10-11 year olds in a non select rocket league. My experience has been with double wing, but I'm looking forward to making the move into a shotgun spread offense this year. On defense I like to run an aggressive 33 Stack (JJ Lawson's). Looking forward to talking some football with everybody!

My name is Jeff Burnside. I was just hired for my first head coaching job in Berkley, MI after serving as an assistant in Novi, MI for 11 seasons. I have coached 1 year of Freshmen, 1 year of JV and 9 years of varsity. I have coached varsity OL,DL,RB,LB,DB as well as been a ST Coordinator for 1 season and DC for 4 seasons.
I am taking over for a Hall of Fame Coach that had resurrected a dormant program. Very large shoes to fill.
I have always been an option guy but been part of teams where we changed due to are talent strengths. I have coached in the pure flexbone option, to Pro I offense, to Spread and throw until the QB's arm falls off.
Defensively I have coached the 4-4, 4-3, and 3-4, which we have had great success with due to the types of kids we get.

I'm the HC at a newly classified 2A school in Florida. Going into my second year as the HC after working as an assistant for 5 years. Last year we improved from 1-19 in the two previous years to 5-4, and just missed the playoffs. Offensively, we installed the double wing last year and led the county in rushing through 9 games. Defensively, we run a base 4-3, but will play some 4-2-5 against passing teams, and some over/under and 5-3 when needed. I look forward to learning from all the veteran guys on here.

Wanted to introduce myself. Been a volunteer coach on the varsity and freshman level in HS for four years. Just graduated and seeking first teaching/coaching position. I've coached offensive line, defensive backs, defensive line, and linebackers. Also worked as special teams coordinator and strength and conditioning coach for 9th grade ball, as well as assisting head S&C coach on varsity level. I've been mainly in the 4-3 but have worked some in 3-5 and 3-4, but am still learning. I look forward to learning and contributing to this board.

Just moved to central Texas (Austin) and am going into my 39th year of coaching football at both the college and high school levels. Was an assistant and a DC at JC and D2 schools in California, and have been an assistant, DC, OC, and a HC for 18 years at the high school level. I've run just about everything on defense and have run the 4-2-5 for the past 15 years. I find it provides the best balance, easy to teach, and lets the kids pin their ears back and get after it without a lot of pre-snap adjustments. Have also run just about everything you can run on the offensive side of the ball but found the Double Wing about 10 years ago and have been running it ever since.
