Excited about having a returning starter at QB and RB. Not excited about replacing 4 out of five O linemen!

Getting bumped up to "the big show" so to speak. Varsity (co) o-line coach. Did one year of middle school, one year of freshmen, and now a varsity assistant. And I gotta lack some humility here, but I busted my ass for it and feel like I deserved it. I'm just excited to see in what ways I get my ass handed to me in this first year as a varsity coach...luckily we have a phenomenal staff, and the other o-line coach has been a great teacher to me. And we have great kids, quite a bit of talent, and a shot to do some real damage in our district this season. if this post is indicative of your genuine attitude then you are going to be fine. I was just talking to a couple of AD's a few months ago and they were saying that the assistant o-line spot is getting harder and harder to hire because so many young guys don't want to be "assistant" anything. They feel like they've been watching a chit ton of o-line videos on twitter so they are ready to run the whole show now, even dudes straight out of college Friend of mine is at a fairly elite program near a major city and they were looking to fill a varsity spot, found a guy who didn't have much varsity football experience (maybe 3 years) and wasn't at a prestigious program or anything but had played major college football, interviewed well and his second sport was a perfect fit so they offered him the job ..when they offered it to him dude asked the principal (not in so many words) how long it would be until he was the head coach....apparently he didn't like the answer he got and turned them down rumble young man rumble Its funny you mention people saying finding an assistant o-line is hard, because I think my HC was pretty surprised at how open I was to o-line. I've never been an o-line guy, and when he gave me the heads up a few months ago that I was going to get promoted it was supposed to be a receivers position. So I think he was worried when some positions got shuffled around and he was going to have to ask me to do o-line instead, or at least thought I was going to say "no I'd rather do a skill position." And I could kinda see his sigh of relief when I was all about it.

The assistant OL guy is every bit as important as the OL guy, often runs his own drills, has a similar voice, etc. I was an assistant OL guy for a year, swapped places with the OL guy because I was more available and proved myself. Then bumped up to OC. Young guys, always explore every opportunity because you don't know where it's going to take you down the road. OL is hard (I coach fly boys and QBs now and it is nowhere near as complex). Learn from a guy who knows his chit for a few years and then try to be THE OL guy.

To possibly have a QB in our program, for the first time in 5 seasons, for more than one year. We will have this at the varsity level as well. The probable heir is only going to be a sophomore. He's 6'4, not done growing, and has a cannon. The only knock on him is that he isn't the quickest and we do like to run our QB, but he gives us some options in the playbook for sure.

I’m excited to see the growth of our team. We started 3 freshmen and 4-5 sophomores on each side of the ball. They won 6 games. Excited to see if they get better this year.

Ours will be a Jr. 6'1. His knock is never played football before last season. But hes not afraid.

First time in my life that I will be working with a group of people that know football, but know people better. One stood with me at my wedding, another has become a close friend, and a young guy who just graduated but essentially volunteers as drop-out prevention alongside his teaching duties. Pair that with a group of kids with very few, if any, bad attitudes. At the very least we should have fun.

Looking forward to coaching an offensive line group that has a lot of competition for spots this year. Have 3 kids returning from last year, but I'll have at least 11 kids who are looking to start. It's a young group of mostly sophomores and juniors, but it's a group that size-wise is the best I've had as a coach and I think they want to get after it.

Biggest thing I’m excited about it our commitment to film each and every part of practice and coach from the film. My wife is moving the the high school PE department with me next year and I have convinced her to give up coaching volleyball and come be an assistant coach and my “film coordinator”. She will have a staff of managers who will be filming out of our Indy, small group and team periods. We are going to cut a little time off of our after school practices and have the players come in 45 minutes early for school to review film. We have 4 large screens/areas to view film. We will utilize this time to coach off the film. This will give coaches overnight to review, grade, make notes, etc. We will basically be spending the same amount of time at practice, but it will be broken into two sessions. First hour is our athletic/football hour so film will move right into our weights period. I’m sure there are a few unseen bugs that will have to be worked out l, but with the way kids learn I feel this is going to be a huge step in the right direction for our program.

I'm mainly looking forward to seeing if our kids have grown up as much as I think I have. For the first time since the 2016 season, we'll have a starting lineup on both sides of the ball that is mostly juniors and seniors.

So, still very excited to be on the varsity staff, but lowkey kinda miss the o-line! At least I feel like I learned me some stuff during spring ball that I can use. I will also be down on the field instead of in the box...I love the energy down on the field, but I will miss the press box food.

Hopefully finding a job doing something. Little update to this post- What am I most looking forward to? Not being involved in education in any way shape or form.

I live in the DFW in Texas and I am not coaching football currently, so it will be nice being able to go watch some really good games with my wife and daughter and just be able to enjoy the moment.

I may have already posted about it but our head jr high coach told all of us he was going to move up to our staff this year and in a few years take over one of the most sought after jobs in the state as HC. He was told he would not be coming back after the season. He is a total moron

We only graduated 4 seniors that started last year. Our kids are bought in and working their a$$es off. QB runs the option so well he could compete for playing time at the academies. I only have 2 seniors on d but we are fast and most of my d were sophomores last year so we have 9 returning starters
We are looking to play for a ring this year

I think I'm going cold turkey on Fridays. Football was so more enjoyable last winter after I was done with HS football and I could unplug and just enjoy as a fan. It also helped the Bears were good. I think HS football is still too fresh for me to watch as a fan.

I did that last season and I was fine, but I am just hoping to still watch some games since I still want to get back in the game after a few years. My teaching and coaching job (wrestling) allow me a nice enough schedule and pay where coaching football isn't mandatory right now, but I have talked to our HC and let him know I would like the chance to move over to football as well if the opportunity presents itself.
