Many high school coaches in America do the same thing. We teach classes from 8 until 3. Then we coach football after school. Most of us are paid far more for our teaching job than we are for coaching football.

Quick questions, me and another coach I lift with in the mornings were talking about this just a little while ago. Which state is it that has such a quick turnaround for the playoffs? Like they play their last regular season game on a Thursday, then turn around and play the first round playoff games on a Tuesday and the second round on Saturday. I wanted to say it was Kansas or Iowa but I cant remember.

One thing I would add, we do alot similar to coachwoodall here, but when we get the sloppy uniforms washing, we stop the washing machine when it gets in the wash cycle and let the uniforms soak overnight, then come back the next day and finish. This seems to help and prevents us from having to rewash as many. Another key is dont overload the machine!

Always had it about 9 or 10 in the morning to try not to interfere with people's meals. Usually a few more dads around since they aren't off work. Other than that nothing special.

Forgot about the time we were driving to win the game and instead of spiking the ball to stop the clock so we could kick the game winning FG our qb took a knee and we lost in 3 OT

You can be unconventional without never punting. Just in smaller ways. We always rugby punt. This year it was bc we didn't have a punter and the only kid we could find punted better on the run. One year our qb was our punter. So he basically had the option to pull it down and go get the first down if they didn't not contain him. You can water bucket huddle on PAT. We had several plays off of this and had about a 75 percent effectiveness rate. We also used to huddle and fake the on side kick every time on kickoff till NC changed the rules making that illegal this year.

Nope. Never taught in a bad situation. But same thing. If I wasn't happy with the teaching situation I'd move on and try to find myself a better opportunity.

I wouldnt not coach-I would leave and move to another school. I am gonna be honest, I probably wouldnt be in education if it wasnt for coaching ball. Now, before people rain fire down on me, I like teaching, I am a good teacher according to my evals and test scores....... but I LOVE coaching. Coaching was the reason I decided to be a teacher if that makes sense. So if it were me personally, I would leave that school and move on to another. Again, thats just me.....

Meant to add my point. This is the toughest loss I have ever had. At that point we had been to 3rd rd 2 times in 4 years but couldnt get past it. Really thought that this was our year. Very difficult to stomach. I dont think I ever watched the film.

We lost a game in similar fashion one year, though our lead wasnt quiet that big. We were up 26-10 in 3rd rd of playoffs with 10 min to go. We intercepted a pass in the end zone and tried to run it out, well the guy fumbled on the 5 and they recovered and scored. 26-16. We got the ball back went 3 and out. They went down and scored. 26-24. We threw a pick, but stopped them, then muffed the punt with 4 or 5 min to go. They recover go down and score. 31-26 them. We get the ball back and execute the 2 min drill. Score. Go for 2, get it. 34-31. We sky kick the ensuing kick off and they return it for a TD to win the game. 38-34

Ive always thought if you dont give it to them, you cant control what they wear. So, I wouldnt worry about the cleats, but I'd buy and give them the color socks I wanted so that they all matched if I was big on that.

We did it for the first time in a long time, made about $8000 in our first year doing it. That was profit after we took out our costs for kids rewards and stuff like that.

I agree with bringing the young bucks up. In my experience playoff practices are some of the best we have had. The reason being is while we are doing team O or inside or whatever we will use the younger kids as the scouts and our d coaches will actually go over there and coach them since they are not having to handle jv practice. That keeps the scout intensity up which raises the intensity of the whole practice. They may not be running your scheme but squeezing a downblock is squeezing a downblock and reading a G is reading a G.

Lol. Almost spit my dip out when I read BLB comments. We are thud always till I get pissed at the scout team O for moving too slow. Then we go full

A couple of pitfalls to be aware of that have been mentioned. 1) Scheduling. In a conference you are promised a certain number of games. As an independent you will have to find 10-11 games. 2). Playoff situation. You are not given a certain number of slots into the playoffs like in a conference. 3) post season all conference awards.

Don't treat it any different. Prepare them the same. They know it's a big game. If anything prepare yourself a little more as to what they may do if your plan works

I'm ok with starters playing 1 series of 3rd qtr. But other kids deserve a chance to play too in blowouts. We have never been so good that starters hadn't played enough full games by the playoffs to be in game shape. So I wouldn't know anything about that.

I gotcha. But we will have to agree to disagree. Perhaps it's over kill. But we are gonna do some form of pursuit every day. This week is was combined with a pass or a screen as we prepare to face an air raid tomorrow night.

How do you know how we spend the rest of the time? We do pursuit for 5 min, then we go to individual afterwards. We hold up just fine against power run so far, 13 pts, and 7 points given up. We are gonna give great effort and we are gonna run to the ball, we stress that and we believe in that. It doesnt mean we dont work hard to have correct run fits, or play with proper technique because we do.

As a DC, I think the best thing we do is a different form of pursuit drill every day to start defensive practice. We might not be very good but by god we are gonna run to the football as long as I am in charge. It shows on Friday nights, and you can overcome alot of mistakes with effort and pursuit.

In my individual time, I give equal reps to the 1s and 2s. During group and team I try-key work-TRY-to split reps 60/40 for the starters. I dont give anyone past my 2s reps in team or group, if we get that far down the depth chart it wouldnt matter if they had gotten 1000 reps, we are in trouble.

One of my signals to send the strong side backer is to flex. Gotta make sure guns are right so I look good making that call!
