NC has 12 weeks to play 11 regular season games. If you play 11 the gate for 1 must go to the state endowment fund. If you don’t agree to that you play 10. If you play 11 then you would play 16 if you make state championship.

The thread about missing family made me think of it, but there is not a better feeling in the world for me than after a game, win or lose, when my wife and son come down to the field and get to join the world for a brief moment. When my son was a toddler, he would want me to chase him around with his little ball. Now, he's 10 and he wants me to throw him routes to score on. Whether frustrated or content after the game, when my wife says "hey sweetie" and hugs me then my son asks "dad can we play for a bit?" it always makes the moment better. No doubt. My wife is always there walking out on the field and she hugs and kisses me and tells me how good I look (she lies but that’s ok) and what a great job I did. My daughter who is at the stage in her life where daddy and his rules ain’t cool comes running ahead of her and jumps into my arms not even knowing if we won or lost. Just glad to see her daddy for the first time since Wednesday night. Even when we lose makes life better for a few minutes.

I thought it would be winning. But after I while I hated losing more than I enjoyed winning. I expect to win Bc of the work we put in. My favorite pet has become the relationships built and hanging out with the players and other coaches.

We don’t use any of our time to practice. In the off season we lift/run/doncharacter ed. In season we lift/watch film/game plan. But our kids are divided up into 2 class periods. Not all in 1.

We did something for 25th anniversary of state championship. We Fed them steak dinner before game and let them on field and in locker room before game. Roped off a section for them to sit during game. Honored them and called out every name during halftime. Got drilled by our opponent. Don’t recommend that pet.

This semester football wt training 1 and 2 period. There are a few non football players in both classes however. Guidance always screws up a few schedules. General Wt Training 3 pd. Baseball 4 pd. I think all our kids that played last year except maybe 1 JV kid are in one of those 4. All but 3 in 1 or 2nd.

Ours is labeled football wt training. Kids take it both semesters. In fall we lift and then watch film go over gameplan last 20 min or so. In off season we lift 4 days a week and do speed and agility and plyos one day until weather gets warm. Once weather is warmer we lift 3 days. Do speed/agility/plyos 1 and go outside and do linear speed and conditioning 1. We pretty much get all our kids in there. I think there are 3 this semester that don’t have it. One schedule couldn’t work so he is in a general wt training class. The other 2 are in baseball wt training class.

I believe it makes a difference when two evenly or nearly evenly matched teams are in the heat of battle in a close game. I do not believe it will allow you to defeat a vastly superior opponent every time out. Also it can’t hurt to teach your kids to be men of character. Even if it doesn’t win on the field it may help them later on in life. It’s like believing in God. If you believe in God and in the end everything you have believed is not true what does it hurt? But if you don’t believe in God and in the end everything you have rejected is true then what are the consequences?

Order 65 so you have some extra and make sure you have enough skill numbers and linemen numbers. JV wear old ones. You start wearing the same set JV and varsity games then you are gonna wear them out twice as fast and they are gonna get dingy quick.

As mentioned. Coaching is a lot of time for relatively little money. Young people don’t want to do that. And many wives will not allow their husbands to do so. Those that have wives that allow us to are very lucky.
Second. And this is just my opinion. I think administrators hide behind the we gotta have good classroom teachers bull crap. Teaching is coaching and coaching is teaching. Good coaches usually make good teachers. But they aren’t always flashy. They teach through repitition. Which isn’t the cool thing anymore. So they hire the flashy 8-3 teacher instead of the solid coach/teacher. Bc if test scores come back bad they can fall back on well we hired the best available. Just not some old coach.

One good thing about coaching LB whether it be ILB or OLB is that it is usually the smallest group. From year to year I probably only have somewhere between 4-6 in my LB group.

Lots of lines of drills going, but make sure you put the 5-10 kids you are counting on in the same couple lines so you can watch them most closely. I hate to say this, but you are not going to play 35 OL. So make sure the kids who you are counting on get reps and do the best you can with the rest.

I hate it has come to this. But you have to win and you have to make your place the cool place to be. How you do this exactly I don’t know. Twitter, 7 on 7s. Promo videos. Cool gear and stuff I guess.

We have kinda the same thing as coachwoodall. Our kids all have wt lifting as a class either 1st or 2nd Block. At the end of the day we have a block of time that is 40 minutes for kids to get tutoring. Make up work. Etc... so it’s easy to say to a kid....you should have done that during the study period.

I think Wake Forest had a good one. Fedora had one at UNC that was really good, but IDK if the new staff is going to continue that camp.

We play on Friday. Kids don’t come in either day. Generally speaking coaches have Saturday off. But are expected to have their position graded by the time we meet on Sunday. Occasionally Bc of something unavoidable one side of the ball or the other will meet on Saturday instead of Sunday.

Here in NC most privates are seperate. However, not all. All a private has to do to be allowed in the state association is to pay a minimal fee, and agree to follow the associations rules. There are no multipliers or anything. Charlotte Catholic is one of the few private schools who excel at football and play in the public league. They have become dominant in the state, having played in and won several championship games in a row.

I coach our LBs. I do read steps and pass drops in our base coverages. Then I do a half speed tackling drill. That’s it. We do 3 plays of team in a pursuit drill.

We give our kids a laundry loop to put their stuff on. If they want any of their practice gear washed they put it on the laundry loop and put it in a pile by the wash room and we will wash it for them

I am trying to talk our HC into going to the Southeast Wing T clinic in Dublin Ga. When is that? March 8-9 When and where is the local clinic? Is it open to outsiders? I’d love to come down for it if I can since y’all are so close

Much like mentioned above. Monday, and Tuesday we had a 24 period practice. 12 O, 12 D. Special teams and installing the game plan were not on the clock Monday, and special teams were not on the clock Tuesday either. Wednesdays we would cut the schedule to 20 periods, 10 O and 10 D. Thursday walk thru.
A Tuesday schedule for us on D would look like this
Pursuit-5 Indy-15 Tackle Circuit-10 (this block changed pretty regularly-really whatever I thought we needed to work on, could be tackle, could be a certain play, or a certain D) Inside Run-10 (More Indy time for DBs) 7 on 7-10 (More Indy time for DL) Team-10

I get that if a kid misses practice you are gonna sit him. But what if its a kid that is gonna sit anyway??? Then what do you do? I've never had a great answer for that. As far as off season we have our kids in wt. training class during the school day. Once school kids out we reward the kids that show up, and if its a kid we are counting on and they havent been there for a couple days we call or go to their house and check it out.

My daughter just got braces. I’d like someone to pay them off. If that’s too much to ask I’d like some new sweat pants to wear to work while it’s cold.

We take 10 extra minutes Monday and go over the game plan. Other than that it’s a normal day. It may not be as fast paced as you like Bc you may not get lined up right every time right away. Or they may not remember your checks. But as ace back mentioned. Don’t waste the reps.

I too am undecided. I am all for comfort. Some of our coaches go to away games dressed. As for me home or away doesn’t matter. When the first group of specialists/pretty boys etc.... go out before everyone else then I go and change out of my Russell dri fit shorts and t shirt and into my game gear. I can see why someone would do this. Especially if it were hot. But I believe once you step on the field you are representing your school and should be in game attire.

I think you have to do some team action. Perimeter runs/screens/RPO stuff. That’s all in team. However, I rarely do more than 10 minutes of it. Now we may have another 5 min period of team where we work on a specific play or a specific priority for that week. But it won’t be right before/after our designated team time. There will be a break and a group/Indy period in between them.
