Think you meant Dave Aranda Maybe I'm just getting old and cranky but yeah I wanna be like I was a young know it all at one point too but maybe coach more than a season or two before hitting the clinic circuit and writing a book etc... I tried to correct a “coach” on how to block midline once on Twitter. He blew me off and then I found out he hadn’t even graduated high school yet…fukin amazing |

I personally get better responses on here. Most of you on this topic I’ve messaged on here at least once. I try commenting on topics and messaging on Twitter and I typically get crickets. Idk guess I’m just not cool enough.
I’ve learned more football on here. If you dig around long enough you will find tons of football gold on here.
Huey>Twitter….I’ll die on that hill.

Yeah, actual questions seem to go unanswered in favor of comments that border on being sycophantic. |

I've gotten a fair amount of good info from social media; there's some great coaches who are willing to share what they know. But, it still doesn't compare to this site. I asked all over social media about POBA style IZ blocking last year and had to wade through a lot of bullchit. But, it only took one PM to tog on here to get me squared away and comfortable coaching it. |

To me, the big benefit of Twitter is the ability to easily integrate video clips. A 20-second video of a drill or technique can be more valuable than 2 paragraphs explaining it. I'm not smart enough to debate anything with anyone, so I stick to reading and watching rather than posting myself.

You have to be an absolutist in order to sell your gimmicks. Can't sell a gimmick if no one cheers or boos. Any noise > no response at all.
I don't follow unless you say what TO DO.
I unfollow if you start getting absolute on me unless you have invaluable info.
Mute button on Twitter is gold.

Personally I am tired of social media as a whole. I check Facebook once a day but hardly ever post anything. Mostly to see what family or close friends are up to if they posted anything sports related or their kid has prom pics whatever. There are way too many videos or other crap on there now.

I don't understand. Are you saying Dave Aranda is an "idiot"? No some young coach who worships Aranda and pretty much claims to be an expert on his defense despite having coached like 2 years Thought there was something I was missing with guys. Glad to know I'm not alone. |

I tried to correct a “coach” on how to block midline once on Twitter. He blew me off and then I found out he hadn’t even graduated high school yet…fukin amazing I just read a thread on twitter about teaching LB's how to drop. A coach replied saying "It makes me happy on offense when that is what LB's do" as if he would just score at will on them. I decided to look up his program as it was in his twitter bio. They went 0-10 and averaged about 20 ppg while giving up over 40 ppg. Amazing |

He was a "local legend" in Southern Illinois, but never really had much success. I left his talk. |

Has ANY coach with a braggadocios nature and overconfident statements EVER been successful? I mean even Charlie Weis and his "decided schematic advantage" he promised Notre Dame flopped (relative to the expectations)

I think you have to have a certain amount of "self confidence" to be successful. Some just express it more often than others. I don't think you could ever call people like Steve Spurrier modest. |

I think he’s savvy tactful enough to make it sound clean in the papers but he says he’s better than everyone in his own way and I agree with him. |

I consider him more of a public smart-ass than public bragger. |

There are some people who share great content. There are some people who share great content and sell a product that has great content. There are some people who sell a product. 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. I understand where people are coming from. I am one of those who just enjoys putting free stuff out there. But, there are others who want to profit from it and that's ok too! People just need to respect each other www.coachkoufootball.blogspot.com. I have 100 articles free for anyone who wants em. |

I don’t think anyone here has been meaning to belittle any coach willing to put content out. It’s the arrogance of some that really ruffles feathers. I’ve learned a ton of stuff from Twitter and this place but i have seen my fair share of dip sh!ts who need to quit typing on both formats |

I wish I would have copied it, but my father in law had a Pro Football Weekly from the 70s that did a psychological profile of NFL players by position. They found that the closer you were to the ball before the snap, the higher your IQ. Generally, the Center was the smartest guy on the field, the QB next, guards, tackles, RBs, TE and the lowest on average IQ was the WRs (which they called flankers). Also talked about personality traits such as the linemen being more selfless and WRs being the most narcissistic and QBs being the "bossiest". |

I am very active on Twitter, with that being said I try not to take things very seriously on there. Too many trolls and negative people who only want to argue for the sake of argument. I will say that when you reach out to a coach via DM or specific content 99% of those coaches are good dudes who will answer your questions.

Yes indeed but you (and other coaches on this site) cut through the bullchit and provided specific coaching points and a teaching progression. I only had one coach on social media provide me with the same type of feedback. And, for all I know, they're a member of this site. Lol
