I think he could. That doesn’t mean I know that’s what would have happened. I don’t claim to know everything. I promise. But what I described that happened in the game has left a bad taste in my mouth.

I saw the INT. There was a Saints WR on his back. I would have been afraid that it would get tipped up. I may be wrong. I have been before. But I have a hard time telling a kid not to secure the ball if they have a chance to. The most important thing is the ball. Can’t score without it.

I agree with making sure your captains know what to say at the coin toss. We go over that every week with our captains and make sure the most intelligent one is the speaking captain.
I have some reservations about telling a kid not to intercept the ball. Especially if he is in traffic. We were playing a team one week that was far better than us. But we were hanging around down 7 late in the 3rd. They had the ball and due to a couple holding penalties and tackle for loss it was like 4 and goal from outside the 30. Our HC at the time comes over to me (DC) and instructs me to tell our kids not to intercept the ball. But to just knock it down. So they throw a Hail Mary pass into the back of the end zone. Our kid tries to do what we told him and knock it down. When he does the offensive player falls and the ball lands right in his lap for a TD. Swore then I’d never tell a kid to knock it down if he had a chance to catch it.

Yes, what fantom said. HC wants to win the game. I want to win the game. He yells something totally meaningless like"STOP THEM" I yell back something more meaningless like "I"M TRYING!" We are still best friends. Other coaches dont quiet understand this but its just the way it is.

What is the wt training situation like?
What kind of off season program have they had?
How many coaches are in the building?
What kind booster club situation do they have?

I agree with that about needing to find new assistants if you are having to motivate them to watch film. Unfortunately, it’s not always that easy.

True. But you could make that argument about any form of film evaluation. Who’s to say they aren’t just making it up.
When you get ready to play a team with a stud DE do you tell your tackle it’s ok if he doesn’t block him because the DE is better than him?
For us the expectation is to perform. Are we gonna game plan and scheme to try to help that kid out? Sure. But we expect that kid to execute the game plan no matter who we are playing against. And either he does or he doesn’t.
Not saying you are wrong. Do what you do and believe in. Fine by me. But this is what we do and what we believe in.

I agree with ttaylor it helps hold players and coaches accountable. Forces coaches to watch film and see what their kids are doing. And doesn’t matter who lines up across from you. Shows player each week if they got the job done or not.

In our football and girls class there are 2 teachers. Football me and the HC. Numbers run from 20s to 50s depending on scheduling. Girls is me and a female teacher. Numbers in the 30s. Regular and baseball numbers range 15-20. 1 teacher.

School size about 1000
We have football classes, baseball classes, regular classes, and a girls class. It is not a pre req to play but heavily suggested. We usually get all of our players in it. And we pretty much control who we want in and out of the football class.

Ideally, HC hires a coordinator who shares his overall philosophy and vision and coordinators run with it. In my case, I've been a DC for 2 different HC. One said run a 3-4, and he pretty much let me run with it and do what I wanted to do with it. The second had been a DC and he said run my D, heres how you do it. And I pretty much have put my terminology and personal spin on his system.

Why so much more time for the O??? We have about 2.5 hours most days. We go 5 min warmup by position. 15 min special teams. An hour O. 5 min break. An hour D. 5 min conditioning. We change those times some from day to do and we go less time on Wednesday’s. But that’s pretty normal.

Where I am in N.C. there are steps in our county. But it steps up about $40 a year. Our county does recognize the years you’ve coached somewhere else. Doesn’t matter where. It’s total years coaching the sport. I am the DC and this is my 17 season and my stipend was $2985. Then it was taxed 40 percent.

We have a 10 min period on Wednesday where we practice adjustments or a back up plan. As we game plan and as we go through the week I as the DC am constantly thinking about what adjustments we can make that we already know how to do or that we could do easily. I keep those adjustments on our call sheet during the game to refer to

If your worried about it, dont talk about scheme. Talk about fundamentals and drills. I'm way more interested in that at a clinic than scheme anyway. Our scheme is our scheme. Show me how you teach and drill your players.

I agree that plans like this are kinda just for show. I believe you need to have a plan for what you are gonna do to improve the program year by year. But to say what your gonna do 3 to 5 years down the line doesn’t make a ton of sense to me because you never know what is gonna happen in that time period. Nothing ever goes as planned.

For us it was me (DC), HC w/ a flip switch between O and D. Our SS coach in the box (bc his guys are tied to both the front and back end, and bc he is the only other one with knowledge of front and back end), and usually DL coach who was in charge of subs and personnel. Every now and then the DB coach would get the headset if we were playing a pass heavy team. On Offense it was the HC (OC), OL, QB coach in the box, and RB coach who was in charge of personnel.
At times when things were heated I thought the HC and the other 2 voices were too much and I couldnt think to make the call. When this happens I usually just take the headset off and wear it around my neck. But in reality thats probably about right.
What I want to know. 1) Down and distance 2) Personnel groupings going in or out. 3) Formation (and are we lined up right) 4) What went wrong

We have played in some colder games over the years, I pretty much always go with an Under Armour Coldgear mock, a sweatshirt, and as heavy jacket or pullover as I think I need. The real problem for me has never been the core of my body or my ears or head. It has always been my feet and toes, cant keep them warm for anything.

We have had UA. Not the most durable. Our whites have the numbers peeling badly. I don’t think it’s great for the $$$. But we haven’t had anything else for me to compare to

Blew a 35-7 halftime lead once when we turned it over 4 times in 2nd half. Also blew a 16 point lead with 10 min to go in the game in the 3rd round one year.

Trade car in for cheaper payment. If you are paying $500 a month on the car. Trade it in for a $250 a month payment. Then you save half your car payment. The rest of the stuff with credit cards and bankruptcy is above my head. But that's a simple solution.

We do both, in private and public, our team chaplain leads it. Churches feed our kids pregame meal. We are also in a very rural area of the south where this is still unquestionably accepted as the way things are suppossed to be.

Probably a QB. A stud there always makes it easier. Maybe a center. Also would like to have another bad mama jama at LB and/or safety. Guess thats too many to have huh? lol
