It comes out of the AD budget. Not from our program.

We see a lot of top heavy and bottom heavy regions. 2 or 3 really really good teams. 2 or 3 really really bad teams. We happen to be a mid pack team with a brutal schedule. We are 3-6 against maybe the toughest schedule in our class. We aren’t that bad. And one region over either way we are probably 7-3.

Gary Patterson is a D-1 HC and he appeared to be calling the defense last night.

Pretty common here to postpone games from Friday till Monday. We had a storm about half way through the 2nd qtr of a JV game the other week. Rescheduled for Monday. Couldn’t go back bc we didn’t have any buses available Bc soccer and volleyball were both also away that day.

Our HC was a DC. Now he is just the HC and we have a DC and an OC. He is heavily involved and coaches a position on both sides of the ball. I think defense takes a lot more time than offense and it is hard for a HC to have enough time to be the HC and run the defense.

Talked to a guy we buy our detergent from tonight. He said don’t soak uniforms until you have washed them half a dozen times Bc the dye won’t set until then. He gave us some additive to go in with the detergent that’s suppossed to help.

Agree with what everyone else has said. Call and ask. Most coaches won’t have a problem with you watching. But they won’t have much time to talk during season. After the season is over though I’d bet most would accommodate you.

I like Jeff Dillman from South Carolina. Coach Barnett from N.C. State too.

We just bought some of the same. We didn’t do anything except follow the instructions. Which I remember said not to soak them the first time you wash them. Other than that we just washed them and they came good and clean. Our jerseys are Columbia blue and our pants were yellow. We will see how it goes when we wear white.

Where I am in NC I make almost 3G for the season as an AC. Pay scale starts at about 2200. This is a good paying area for NC

Just wondering when all you guys are allowed to have your first official day or practice? When can you hit? When can you scrimmage? When is your first game?
For us here in NC yesterday was our 1st official day. We have to practice 2 days in just helmets and 3 in shells before we have live contact. So we can hit Saturday. Our first scrimmage is next Wednesday and we play on Aug 17.

We do a walkthrough. We wear helmets if we lost the week before. We don’t wear anything but shorts and t shirts if we won. 10-12 plays of O and D and special teams. Usually about 1 hour on the field.

We watch our film of our last game during wt. lifting class. As eh DC here is a typical Monday for me. Prepractce (10 min)-Install and teach gameplan. Pursuit (5) Individual (15) Tackling CIrcuit (10)-this could change as the season goes, could be a specialty period such as halfline or working on a particular play like power read. Formations and alignments (10), Inside Run (10), Team (10)

For painting the game field, buckets all day. Much easier and stripes look better. Just be careful not to get to drip the overspray all over the field. If the machine clogs you should be able to clean it out by running water through the line and pumping it out. Only thing that sucks about the machine is cleaning it after you use it.

We do it every year. Each team plays the other for 20 min. 10 of O and 10 of D from the 40 in. Then played 1 team for a quarter of game situation. Running clock.

About 3 hours a day, four days a week, and we feed them breakfast and lunch with a federal grant that our county has.

Live contact up front during group and Indy. But don’t take ball carrier to ground. More routes on air and play review on air for skill than normal as opposed to 7 on 7.

We are in same boat. We currently have 3 coaches in building and outlook isn’t good for getting anymore. We have 2-3 community guys but not ready (some may never be) to have their own position yet. And they won’t be here this summer Bc of work. So the 3 of us basically have a group and a helper. Coach both sides this spring. Haven’t figured out what we will do in the season.

I'm getting antsy, we're so close to June 4th and I'm pumped to get started on my first season as Defensive Coordinator. I've been working onagonizing over my defensive PowerPoint after going to every Glazier I could and learning all I can about our defense and how to keep it as simple as humanly possible for our kids (and coaches). These last few weeks have been awful on my nerves. So close yet so far and I'm ready to get started and get this anxiety off my shoulders. I've also been having weird dreams where I get lost in strange places without my pants... I'm sure that means something. Man, if your nerves are shot now you might not make it to the season when you gotta make the big call on 3 and short w/ the game on the line! I jest, I jest. Seriously, this time of year is stress free for me. Go to practice a few times, but no opponent to prepare for, no what ifs to think about, no HC questioning me all day about how we are gonna handle something. I sleep like a baby. As far as what to do when you start getting antsy, go to clinics, watch film etc.. or pick up a spring sport. I coach golf, which is one of the greatest coaching gigs in the world. I play 9 holes for free about 3 days a week, and it keeps my out of almost every staff meeting at school

Echo what everyone else has said. Weight room. Must get kids stronger. And gives you a chance to change you culture and form relationships with your players, which is very important IMO. Be in the hallways and get to know and form relationships with school staff. They will help you tremendously if you do and help your kids. If you don’t they won’t be as much of a help. There is a whole list of things to do. But these pop off the top of my head.

I’ve also heard ERWs. Eat ride and watch. Eat pregame meal. Ride the bus to the game and watch for free. That usually applies to the kids who are too lazy to be scout team.

Not what the OP was asking for. But a former coach I worked with named them the brown squad Bc they weren’t worth a chit!

We give them a shirt and a pair of shorts to keep. Usually dri fit or something similar in a name brand. They turn these back in during the season and we wash and keep up with them, and we give them back out to the kids to practice in on Thursdays. Then at the end of the year we give them to the kids to keep. We also buy each kid a compression shirt and pair of cleats to wear during the games. However, these are not theirs, they turn these back in. We pass them down to the JV for the next year.

Parents and kids need to know that every college coach I have ever talked to has said 1) I will not talk to or answer emails from a recruiting service. 2) I will talk to the high school coach. Not his 7 on 7 coach or trainer.

We never static stretch before practice. Quick dynamic warmup during prepractice then straight into pursuit drill ( or 1/2 line or team goal line). Idk what the offense does first. Usually team tempo or team screen I think.
