Anyone else annoyed with football twitter?

All those systems are inferior to the Face melter system which you can get now for 20 easy payments of $999.99
Shred the defense, blow up the scoreboard!

Does it come with free visors for our staff?

There are some people who share great content.

I think the proliferation of other coaching resources out there, and some negative behavior in here has kind of lead to a slow down of these boards and many solid contributors no longer posting. 

This is exactly my problem with BFS. Oddly, the BFS people I know are also the Facemelter purchasers.

The entire "#BuildYourBrand" culture is insufferable. Coaching or otherwise.

People are more willing to BUY a system than to take all the free materials great coaches have come up with and just learning it themselves and coming up with what works for them... just because Alabama does _____ doesn't mean that's the best way for your 14-18 year old kids to do _____.

I have a spreadsheet that I've developed for inventory, player management, roll, weightroom, everything I need to do as a HC and people would rather buy some software for $1000 per year because they are too lazy to just organize a spreadsheet the way they want to. I've saved over $20,000 of fundraising money by having my own spreadsheet the past 20 years... but some guys would rather just buy someone else's materials.

I genuinely don’t mind if people try to make a buck. If you can get someone to buy your stuff then have at it. Eventually they will learn what is worth money and what isn’t.

On a side note I would absolutely love for Bill to get on twitter

I was planning to make a post about twitter on here and then saw this.

People have contended one of the main reasons this board is a ghost-town shell of its former self is that "twitter is the happening place these days", but every time I try to get on twitter, i dont have much luck finding the kind of discussions had in the past (and occasionally now) on here. Plus, I cant stand the format of twitter for football coaching discussion, it's basically like trying to have a discussion through post-it notes......Here it is organized, searching is decent, etc. Anyone know of any decent places on twitter they can point me to where these great discussions are supposedly being had?

The coaching Twitter world is 95% self-promotion. A lot less of that here, thankfully.

Know what? Bill does know a lot of football. It's playing well with others that he has a problem with. If he's in a format where he does all of the talking he'd be a good resource. 

I already have his email

But, do you have his phone number so he can argue with you over the phone instead of on here?

I'm not on Twitter but am on Facebook and it's the same on there on a lot of pages.
A coach will post something like "this is my adjustment when running Buck Sweep vs ____ front, how do you adjust?" And there will be 2 dozen responses from people who believe they're right basically saying "that's wrong! _____ is the only way". There's very little conversation. Or as others have started dozens of guys looking for information without putting in any work. For example I wanted a If/Then for the Wing-T, so I made one using my limited knowledge, answers to questions I'd asked more experienced coaches, and just drawing up defensive adjustments to stop whatever play I wanted to run. I've got what I consider a pretty thorough If/Then that I'm constantly refining.

I personally prefer this site much more. I can ask a question and get an answer from a coach who is humble and reasonable without all the bs, generally speaking.

He’s actually not as big of a turd on the phone as he is on message boards
