dubber makes a good point about the quick game. Fairley is a monster and how Oregon contends with him will be something to watch (like TCU did with Witt). Thing is, those AU ends aren't bad,either....it will be interesting how those guys hold up through halftime and how much Chizik will try to reign the tempo in.
This has all the makings (like every BCS game) of a coach's dream review....the only thing that could possibly get in the way is the broadcast crews not keeping pace and missing several snaps throughout the game because they feel compelled to do fan /coach/booth shots instead of watching the field

I mean honestly, I think it would be flattering that somebody would take your playbook and use it or put it on a website. I'm sure Tesla was pretty flattered by Edison

Its really all based on intents I suppose.
The stuff I've seen 'packaged' that includes some of my old stuff doesn't make me upset as much as I wish they would've told me (because I would get them a better copy than they are using).
The coaching profession is about sharing and exchanging ideas....thats how we adapt. But it is a grey area when you
1) read/see something and can immediately attribute it to so-and-so (“hey I got the new mesh adjustment from Sonny Dykes”)
2) read/see something and acknowledge they got it from assimilation (“hey, I’ve seen a lot of people use this adjustment to mesh…”)
3) read/see something and attribute it to themselves (“this is my adjustment to mesh”)
#1 – is probably no problem I would assume. A general observer making an innocuous statement with what I would assume is for the benefit of others.
#2 – begins the shades of grey……is it an immediate unattributable observation or is it something that happens over time? You may have been exposed to such-and-such in 2005, but it didn’t sink in until 2009….by then, do could you really pinpoint the origins of creation (ha ha…Inception territory)?
#3 – now this could be another debatable intent. Maybe someone DOES come up with something inspired by revelation (its not like doesn’t happen), but what if the intent is to clearly rip someone off/plagiarize? What then?
What coachjd is talking about was pretty rampant in the early days of Huey, which was why so much of the download section got protected (plus copyrighted materials were shared). Its one thing to provide a template, its another thing to just copy & paste with no real work being done.

but none of this really matters unless there is some teeth (or effort) in enforcement, right?
lets say you DID license a playbook or whatever - unless you actually prosecute offenders, it really doesn't matter (correct my ignorance)

Most teams run stick as an out cut. Only the Airraid branches turn inside and pivot back out. The Saints run this constantly and you always see it as an out cut. Patriots too. isn't this based on athlete at Y? I mean if he's a bigger guy, you'll force the inside stem (and have it mirror Y Cross stem), but if it is a smaller guy, you avoid the inside purposely and just stick it outside with no fake?

i am curious why more networks aren't using FOX's widescreen 16:9 format that allows the viewer to see a 30-40 yard swath of the field (see more than just the tight shot front). That would solve a lot of the 'need' to have the "experts" highlight game situations

if i remember correctly, that play was a Cover 1 peel, with the DE peeling to handle the wheel (and had a good 3 yards separation on the back) - because of the pressure (5), the throw was rushed. As I recall, TCU used a lot of man-coverage and surprisingly more fire zones. Wisconsin runs stretch as good as anybody in college football (even Iowa) and was owning TCU during the first few series. The frustration (I would assume) to be 'multiple' would be because TCU was getting some negative yardage plays with penetration, forcing them out of their comfort zone.
Great game, though.

some things I've found helpful in going up against perennial state contenders are (defensively speaking)....
1. Automatic formation matching Teams who have a special package or are hip to formation a defense, are susceptible to having a defense quench whatever momentum they were looking to acheive by simply formation matching with automatics, so you always have 'the' answer to what they are attempting. Nothing will frustrate an OC more than when you effectively scout/plan for these situations.
2. Show irrelevant looks prior to the matchup I've found this helpful, probably more as a gimmick, that 2 or 3 games leading up to a big matchup, to throw out garbage looks we may not even use against other opponents.....stuff like corner blitzes, voids, weird split fronts.....usually just before the half, just something to get on film for them to contend with during THEIR game plan sessions.
3. Prepare, indoctrinate, brainwash This probably happens every week, but just preaching to your players how the opponent is broken down, illustrating when they weren't effective (and why), and getting them to believe in your game plan (to stabilize their emotions before and during the game). Your kids should feel confident in how you all are going to handle the situations. With this, I've found scripting the first 10 plays are so, and walking through them a few times on Thursday is helpful, because YOUR kids know what is coming.
4. Win the first half Just hold on....don't worry about the big picture, just reduce the 48 minute contest into digestable pieces. How can we hang with these guys for 5-7 series, give our offense a chance to get moving without having to panic, and illicit some doubt in the minds of our opponent? Just manage the first half, throw some looks at them to put them on their heels (and to have to address at halftime) to take your shots, but keep it simple.
I say all this but there is a fine line between being 'unconventional' and reckless. There really is no better way to limit an opponent than solid fundamentals. When you put a premium on 'being different' or bizarre, you create opportunities to have it all blow up in your face. The art of game planning is all about going into the game with minimal risk - the best way to do that is having kids, who may not be studs, but who can consistently perform.

As a non-teacher coach, I loved the show, especially the part where he says, "when you're out of the game, its like you've been out forever. When you get back in, its like you never left"

He is a coach's coach and a man's man. I've never been big on Parcells (mystique), but the story (and method) is something every coach can relate to. What is nice is how open he actually has been to share his insight (about the game) throughout the past decades

[ Wildcats] is not the issue here, Dude... "Dude" - get your Sense of Humor up and running. www.imdb.com/title/tt0118715/quotesleadership isn't a title, its a duty born out of service. "Making a Man" has little to do with 'instruction/compliance', but nuturing independence.....roles that ultimately should be gender-neutral. The 'masculine' connotation (imo) gets added when you want to sugar-coat compliance ("do this because I said / because its 'tough'). Delayed-gratification, which is what "sucking it up" (i.e. masculine idea) is about, doesn't have to be sold that cheaply. Frame it in a mature context (i.e. self-efficacy), and "leadership" becomes me spearheading peak performance for US ALL (I am doing my best / I want to enable you to do your best)

You have to earn their trust until they will fully buy in.
Give, give, give and then give some more. Just do it with clear guidelines, because the minute they see that you can be the mark, its over. Understand the 'triage' culture of crime / hustle; this is how your kids are filtering everything.
Be yourself and reach out/be inclusive (careful about throwing down punitive gauntlets on folks). Reach out and talk with the community/church leaders because that is an easy way to gain the support of the mommas and your future booster club members (because you won't have any money in the program)
Spend time engaging the kids outside of the game and the one thing they are looking for is for you to defend them/have their back.
After your first year, TAKE THE KIDS OUT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD on field trips. Go to state championship games, spring games, campus visits....anything to open their eyes to the world they don't normally see

So wouldn't the best way to make your defense 'tough' would be to coach with a baseball bat upset your player's heads, right?
You want a 'tough' defense? Just coach fundamentals and don't do anything stupid. Its not rocket surgery.
You ever see a fundamentally sound (tackling, leverage, hustle) that was 'soft'?

Its an easy sell if the kid is starting (better competition, perfect milieu for growth, and (if he IS that much of a stud) more recruiting attention), so why make it harder than it needs to be? We've done this in the past (call parents) and the call itself is enough to sell the parents, let alone listing the benefits (sales) pitch.
I guess I don't understand the delusion of complete autonomy (that is rare in most programs, let alone coaches on this board). Sure its your program and you dictate what happens, but power thrusting "because you can" seems to be counter-productive to program needs. The constant setting up parents as enemies (they can do this well enough on their own, they don't need our help), by laying down gauntlets and ultimatums at every turn doesn't benefit anyone.
If you "need" the kid at varsity just because you didn't develop any other athletes, or you ran off the ones that could've helped you or because you want 'depth'....neither of those reasons would be compelling enough for the kid to miss out on a year of positive reinforcement in Freshman ball (players play for each other, not coaches. He likely will be put in an environment on a team with no friends)

Usually, you talk to the parents before moving a fr up to varsity. Most often, if you're moving the kid up, its because he's a stud and the parents agree
And if he isn't a guaranteed starter on varsity then its a waste to bring him up in the first place
