Currently O and D line coach at a WV HS with a fantastic staff. Will be second year at this school. Was a 2yr DC and 4yr O and Dline Coach at different school in WV. HC of JV for 2yrs as well. Played from age of six until 32 (a few gaps for a year here and there).
Trivial Stuff: BS From Shepherd University Cancer Cell Biology WVU/Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center.
we are a spread gun team/inverted veer. Evolving after running Ga Tech O before I got there. Defense is multiple, but always "eight man front"
I am a football "junkie, info addict and clinic sponge" and having said that...I have found this site to be an absolute wealth of info. Thanks and Glad to be here

Gentlemen - I'm a 22 yr old DC for a Football Team in the Upper Palatinate, Germany. My players are between 12-19 years old and split in to two teams (A-youth and B-youth). The area that we draw our ~70 players from is about 3,750 sq miles. In the 5 years since our founding we went from getting shut-out every game in Division IV (still remember our very first first-down - woho) to being the undefeated Divison II champions. Originally I am from Boise, ID... but Home is where the army sends us... So I landed over here. We run a 3-4 defense. I am looking forward to getting in contact with you guys.

I am 23 years old and am starting my first year as a coach and teacher at a small school in Texas around the Wichita Falls area. I am the RBs and Secondary coach as well as the JV OC. I'm a third generation coach in my family and couldn't see myself doing anything else for a living. This site has been very helpful for a young, enthusiastic coach looking to learn as much as he can about football.

I coach DI high school ball in Northern California. I work OL on Offense and I coach the LB position in addition to my Defensive Coordinator responsibilities. I was brought up through the ranks in the Split Veer and Wishbone offenses. We ran a 4-3 Over with an Inverted Cover 2 behind it. Since my playing days, I've coached in a lot of different systems. 7 years on offense have led to: Wishbone, Flexbone, Ace Zone, Power I, and now Mazzone's Nzone. Defensively: 4-3, 50, & 4-4. I'm a typical OL guy. Goofy, self loathing, hard working, cynical, and I have an eternal love/hate relationship with skill players/coaches. I've always been a firm believer in surrounding yourself with people who help you be who you want to be (thank Trading Places for that one) and this board looks like a good place to start.

I'm a wrestling coach and our varsity football coach wants more of his players (linemen especially) to start wrestling because of all the cross-over skills it provides for football. So, he's asked me to help out on the freshman team just coaching up the defensive line. I'm a huge football fan, but I've never coached, or even played, football in my life and I'm just looking to get all the advice I can find. From my vast experience of watching youtube videos I've picked up a lot of the physical techniques (they're strikingly similar to what we teach in wrestling) but I'm still pretty lost on the x's and o's. I know we'll be running a 3-5 defense and that I do have a legit NT, but it's so hard to evaluate the rest of the kids because I just don't have the experience to judge a kid at this age. What traits, other than size, should I look for for in a kid that is a 3-technique? How should I decide if a kid should be a DE or an OLB? Other than a few studs, none of them are way faster or way bigger than any of the others. My gut tells me that an athletic 140lb kid would be better than a 200lb butterball, but am I right? Any random advice that anyone can throw my way would be really appreciated.

That is a winning attitude if you're going to succeed at coaching the lower levels of your high school program. If you ever hear yourself saying things like "The varsity stole these guys" or "They need to find their own players" then you need to retread this post. Great stuff.

I am now entering my eigth year of coaching football, from the Pop Warner level to Middle School, now coaching High School. I am lucky enough to be coaching at my HS alma mater, where I played for all four years for the best coach I've ever seen. I am currently the DC and Line Coach. Offensivly we run the Offset I. Defensively ... can't tell ya, not sure if my conference's OCs are on here. We scrimmage tomorrow, then I can tell ya!! I love what I've learned here in such a short amount of time, and hope to share and learn even more. Good luck to ALL this season. May the Wins be sweet, and the losses be few!!

I am not a coach at all. I have never coached anything, and have never played football. Grew up in Canada so therefore I could skate and play hockey before I could walk. I do however have a 12 year old that is playing for his MS football team and I really want to learn from you guys so that I can be more knowledgeable and help out my kid. A little about him: He is 12 and is playing various positions including linebacker and running back. He is not the starter for either of those positions. He is also on special teams. He did play pop warner football 7 years ago for one season. He really liked it but during the first week of practice on his second season he took a big hit, knocked the wind out of him and he was done playing. When he was in 6th grade(1 year ago) he decided that he wanted to give it another try which brings us to now. Most of the kids on the team have been playing for multiple years so there is a skill level difference that is apparent. I want to help him bridge the gap and excel. I have tried to stay in the background as to not put too much pressure on him but that is a fine line and I know from personal experience that being pushed is sometimes needed. I will be looking for assistance and guidance on this endeavor from you experts. Oh, BTW the first game was last night and I cannot tell you how exciting it is watching your kid on the field.
Thank you

Being on this board for a while, I felt it's time to introduce myself.
I'm Joris from Belgium. Currently 29 years old, started playing around age 20 and stopped playing last year in order to start up a juniorteam.
This is my first year coaching 14 to 19 year olds as a headcoach for a 6-man junior football team. We run a Jet sweep based offense and a 3 LB cover 1 defense (weird rules) We're hoping to evolve to a 9-man team within 2 years.
Thanks everyone for the great stuff I've learned on this board!

Hi, my name is Kyle and I am an aspiring coach. I am still a couple years out from coaching and it appears that most people here are already in the coaching ranks. I apologize if that is prerequisite of the boards. I am from Washington and a current student at WSU. I am currently just trying to learn as much as I can about football; I just ordered a bunch of books to increase my football knowledge, started reading whatever I could at the smart football website, and joined this board. I played ball from the age of 10-18, always as a OL/DL. I never paid much attention to the x's and o's of the game, so despite my experience and love for the game, I am not all that knowledgeable with the concepts of the game. Hopefully I can learn tons here! I look forward to conversing with all of you!

I am a 26 year old assistant coach at a 1A high school in Indiana. This is my second coaching stop. I have coached OL and DL and been a special teams coordinator as well as a "strength and conditioning" coach at both schools. Systems I have been exposed to are:
Offense Split Back Veer (Player, HS #1) Pro I Power (Player, HS #2) West Coast Inside/Outside Zone (Player, College) Spread No Huddle Inside/Outside Zone read (Player, College) Spread (Coach, HS #1) Wing-T/Wing-I (Coach, HS #2)
Defense 4-3 (Player, HS #1) 3-4 (Player, HS #2) 4-2-5 (Player, College) 4-3 (Player, College) 4-2-5 (Coach, both HS)
I also have a deep admiration for the Flex Bone and would like one day to impliment that system if given the opportunity. I'm always looking for new stuff for everything regarding coaching
I am married and have a little boy too, for what its worth.

I have been coaching for 15 years from JH through high school. I am currently the DC at a 4A school in Kansas. We run the spread and a 4=2=5 split cover on defense. I love this board. It's like a clinic every time I log in. All that's missing is the keg in the back of the room!! Thanks coaches for all the input and the discussions.

Hey all.....I am a first year High School Linebacker/Asst Def. coordinator at 3A Public School Program in Philadelphia, PA. I have been coaching for 17 years at the youth level from every age group from 5-15 years old. Offensively we are a spread team, we started out as a 3-4 schemed defense but had to convert to a more conventional 4-3 defense due to us having issues stopping power early in the season.

Good Morning Coaches,
I've been reading this site for about 2 years, but don't post much. I saw this thread and decided to join in...
I'm from Baltimore, MD (unfortunately). I played in HS and got my undergrad degree in PE from Towson University! I am currently working towards my Master's at WVU through their hybrid online programs...
I've been coaching for 5 years at the HS level. I began as a volunteer QB/LB coach on the JV level, the following year, I was offered a paid position at my current school to be the JV DC, the year after that until now, I am the Varsity DC. I teach Phys. Ed at an elementary school (I couldn't get a job in the school I coach). So I commute to practice everyday which is a pain!
I love coaching and have a passion for the game. I have never been an OC, but would love to cross over to give it a try one day. I have experience running all types of defenses from the 4-4, 3-3-5, 3-4, 4-3, now I am a 4-2-5 guy. I am an X's and O's junkie with about 3 or 4 different playbooks that I just continually add to. I hope to, one day, coach on the college level, although it seems very difficult to step up to that level without connections...
Well, that's me!
