Talking with another coach here made me wonder what kind of unique strategies you might use to win football games....what kind of "not tv football" approaches have you used to give your kids an edge or keep an oponnent off balance?...fans and arm chair coaches are often quick to point out what you should/could have done but dont often understand things like...having 9 kids that play every down...

I would overload one side of the ball, put everyone but the Guard (if this is leagal) on the other side of the center and then rolled to the weak side with my qb or had the running back run a counter that way.

one time, for a series, our sideline headphones intercepted the playcalls from our opponent's press box.....uh....er.....whoops! At one school I was at one of the freshman/JV coaches told me when he was coaching pop warner football he and another coach ran middle-man on stealing the signal from one team to another. Apparently the offensive coordinator for this team of 7th and 8th graders used to coach HS before lessening the time commitment and just volunteering. So before the championship game these two guys went over and talked to him since they knew him, looked down and saw what the signal # was on his headphones/walkie-talkie. They then gave them to the other team's coaches who listened the entire game. They told me this story over some beers and it was obviously meant to be very humorous. I thought it was pretty bush league since a bunch of 12 and 13 year old kids got crushed pretty bad and probably blamed themselves for the loss. On the topic, all kinds of intimidation are good. One school I coached at had lots and lots of players (great program) and used to dress more than 100+ players for every game, to try to intimidate the other team as they stretched across the sideline. I also was always a big fan of "Swagger," if your kids look and play confident but loose, even when tired or on the ropes it can give you a mental advantage. |

Last season my JV HC was so desperate for a win; he ran a formation with the X and Z; flanked out wide with an OT adjacent to them in a 3 point stance; three linemen and a TE in the center with the QB and a I- back set. Needless to say, it didn't work for them. The other team's DC called timeout and made his adjustment.

Ran the swinging gate formation on offense after being down 26-0 at half time. With 25 sec. left in the game, down 32-24, we scored from 40 yds out. Failed on the 2 point try.Lost 32-30. But one heck of a run at a far better team.

What a comeback...Great effort by your boyz...To bad you didn't pull it off.
The opposing coach had no answer for it? That would've been a game to see!!!
A good play out of it is the Bubble screen.
