Offense and Defense every day, or separate?

We've done split practices since 2018 and at first I liked it. But, I'm interviewing for a HC job tomorrow and I've written up some base practice plans that have us practicing both sides of the ball every day. Passing was a big part of what we did last year and due to a returning QB, probably will be this year too. It got to the point where it became weird not having our QBs and WRs throw and catch every day. I imagine option teams with the ball handling would have similar issues.

Also, Wednesday was our defensive practice. If, and this happened a couple of times last season, I realized a check or call was a bad matchup with one of their formations or I realized I maybe needed to check something, that only gave me Thursday walkthrough to correct it. It would be better to have these realizations on Tuesday with a "work day" still available to fix them.

BOTH everyday... I have been a part of it twice as asst. Did not like it at all. kids have hard enough time remembering crap lol if you try to make them remember something while skipping a day you talk about it or rep it... good luck. It also helps break up practice into sections

Both everyday. Calisthenics/Stretching for 10 min.s, Individual/Group 10 min's, Special Teams for ~50 min.s, Defense for ~50 min.s, and Offense for ~50 min.s, Post-Practice Conditioning. I like the daily reinforcement of what we do for Mon/Tue/Wed.

We did separate days with a short period of the other side. It would probably be ideal to do both each day but in my experience since the HC typically handles offense defense can get short-changed.

Both every day

Monday ~1:15 offense and pre-practice, 0:45 defense
Tuesday ~1:15 defense and pre-practice, 0:45 offense
Wednesday 50/50
Thursday pre-game script and both teams get an unpadded team period

We split special teams to be "owned" by the O and D so it's on those coordinators to fit them in as needed

We do both each day. I restructured our days so Monday and Tuesday have indy time for offense and defense both days. Wednesday is our "active recovery" day, so everything is slowed down and allowing our kids to bounce back, and Thursday we are both but are repping things very fast. Monday and Tuesday are longer days and Wednesday and Thursday are our shortest days.

Also, on Wednesdays we have no indy time and are more 7v7, runfits/run game, team oriented.

We do both every day, but the time isn't equal each day, and we don't do Indy time for both every.

The total time for the week is equal, or at least very close.

If those that say 'both everyday'.... 

have you evaluated you offensive and defensive schemes and made them easier to consume?

I know, I know, I'm a 2 platoon guy that has my guys all day everyday..... but my recent thinking is are we just try to do too much???

Going back to what was part of my earlier days..... It not me outsmarting the guy on the other sideline; it's my kids being smarter than the kids they line up against.

When we were good, it wan't that I was smarter than the coordinator on the other side of the field; it was my kids were better at matching up versus what the other kids did.

was never in a 2-platoon situation.

start the season with the basics.
add as you go.

i think most can figure out when it's too much.
jmo

i think it's usually young guys or those with an ego that add too much or don't trim when needed.
again, jmo.

This game is funny.....

40 years ago you practiced 3 hours to get the FB mesh down right for running the Veer 30 times a game.

Now a days you practice 3 hours to get the 30 passing game concepts down you'll run once a game.

This. I always draw my scout cards because I usually work out all the problems in that process, but I have had practices where we had to go in the office and tweak things because the kids just weren’t executing on a Tuesday or whatever.

This is our setup.  We go O&D equal time on Monday and Thursdays.  O emphasis on Wednesdays means the O gets:
INDY
Group (7v7, inside hull, whatever they want here)
Team
On the O emphasis days the defense will not do team, but will do INDY and a group session or an alignment/assignment period (11v11 but no contact), blitz on bags, or pursuit that day (we mix it up based on what we need).  We also do tackling circuit for the INDY period that day.
Wednesday is a defensive emphasis day and defense gets all the time and offense is limited.  

We like it and it's less beating on the kids.  Only days with 2 team sessions are Monday and Thursday and Thursday is walk through.  

I did some of both each day for reasons others have already posted although we would emphasize on or the other (except Thursday).

For example Tuesday was Offensive emphasis but we also did a defensive 7-on-7 (DL worked on Pass Rush including stunts, Draw-Screen)) and two Team periods, one against opponents' Gadgets (Reverse, HBP, etc.) and one against their four base run plays and PAP right and left.
