I'm pretty sure there's a scene in "Any Given Sunday" where a touchdown is scored and the team's score goes up by 7 with no extra point. I guess there were no football fans on the set of that movie.

Give me Vince Young as my QB any day of the week. One of the most successful college players of all time.

I'll play the devils advocate here...How many future plays is the big hit going to effect? What I mean is a huge hit in the 1st quarter has the potential to throw a guy off his game for the next 3. We are talking about high school players here, and it can be demoralizing to get plastered early on. Possibly more so than just getting out executed on one play. I'm thinking more from a defensive perspective, but it works both ways.
I'm not saying I'll take the big hit every time, but it seems like the value of the big hit increases a) against younger players, and b) earlier in the game. I guess what I'm saying is that each play doesn't occur in a vacuum and causing doubt in your opponents head early in the game can be worth more than those other 23 yards over the course of the entire game. It won't necesarrily every time, but how many times have you stood on the sideline and seen in a kids eyes that he didn't believe he could win? It happens.
Even with all that said, I'll still take the 30 yarder 9 times out of 10.

Are we talking about hook and ladder to the tackle? Or a reverse to the tackle? If he's that good with the ball in his hands make him a running back or a TE.

My boss gave me that book to read. I haven't gotten around to it though, I spend most of my free time on this board! Maybe he was on to something...

Bean counters are a bad thing on coaching staffs? Well as an accountant I guess that means I better be ready to get fired at any minute. Just kidding big m I know what you mean and it does take an entirely different mentality to do the two things.
I've received a stipend every year I've coached so I guess its easy for me to say, but its like quitting your job over a $.50/ hour raise when you consider how much time we put into this, it doens't seem worth it.

Recruit your former players, they know your system and expectations and they have a stronger feeling of pride and ownership in your program than anybody you can find from the outside.

I started at 20. I think the best thing you can do to improve is try to get connected with a coach that has been around long enough to see the techniques change over time. I'm not talking about somebody who has coached a wing T, and a wishbone, and an I, and a spread, etc. but somebody who understands and can teach you the techniques that went into playing those systems and why. Understanding the details of execution is much more important than being an X's and O's genius, IMO.
