For the most part, I feel that player tells are over-hyped and rarely utilized. I remember an episode of Coach (side note, is this the first post to site the TV show 'Coach') where the DC won the national title with a play call at the end because he recognized the guard sitting back on pass plays. It makes for good TV and fans love to think about this, but if you are looking for "tells" youll be chasing ghosts more often than not. The only one I think comes up often is OLs sitting deeper off the line when they are pulling; but I'd rather my players focus on other things. We point out things like this. Then we let the kids come up with their own call for it. Coaches up top will relay down to the sideline if its something we notice. Sideline will yell out the call. One of the teams we played this year we knew every single play if it was pass or run based on how their OT had his stance. Coaches up top will tell us "rabbit" or "pie." The whole sideline would scream it and our kids knew to play either run or pass. State semis last year we won 22-0 (kneeled the ball on the 1, so should have been 28 lol) Anyways, we knew every play was pass or run based on the alignment of the RB. If he was a half step deeper than QB it was run. If he was even it was pass. One of our assistant coaches wrote the key down on a piece of paper and folded it up. Had their coach sign the outside before the game and told him if we win he was going to give that to him. He couldn't believe it. The team was averaging around 40 points per game and we shut them out in the state semis.

Sucks for sure. As others have said, its 6 in one and half dozen in the other. As far as the punter running the ball back for the safety. All he had to do was turn around and launch the ball out of the back of the end zone. Just stating this for future references. Yes, but in this instance he couldn't even catch the snap and punt!!! Oh I know. That's why I said just for future references. Earlier posts, someone said it was a long ways and the punter might get caught before making it to the end zone. I wouldn't have went for the safety. I would have done what you did, minus taking a knee on the first play. No biggie though, as others said, you know the defense is ripping at the ball. If you would have fumbled you would be wishing you take the knee right there.

Swiping the ball from the center is 100% illegal and should have been a penalty. We had to deal with this earlier in the season. Problem was that it was a penalty but a dead ball. Yeah but the defense should have never been awarded the football.

We cut down on contact, practice time, and conditioning. If the kids are not in game shape by now then they aren't going to get into game shape.
We spend extra time on the mental side of things and fundamentals. We spend more time watching opponent film and walking through things. It paid off for us last year as we were State Runner Up despite being the second smallest school in our division.

We do not film practice. In college we watched yesterdays practice right before we practiced today.
As a small high school we do not EVER watch practice film after the season starts. We watch game film of ourselves on Monday's and then watch opponent game film throughout the week.

My tax dollars are used to fund the sports programs. My tax dollars are then being wasted to drug test students who want to participate in extra curricular activities? This is BS if you ask me.
If you want to test every student then I wouldn't be as upset about singling out the kids who actually want to do something other than just go to school. Most of the druggie kids are the ones who don't participate in anything.
If they were testing every student, then I would just be mad that they are wasting my tax dollars on something so silly.
Do they test the teachers in your school system?

We kicked our best LB/FB off the team because he missed a few practices.
If you can't count on the kid to be there, then you don't need him on Friday nights anyways.

I would sue for discrimination if they tested my child because he/she was an athlete, but didn't test the other kids.
This is ridiculous in every way imaginable.

IN WV we couldnt drive the bus if we wanted to. The bus drivers union would go bananas.
We spend around $2,500-3,000 year on buses for away games.

That's why I said 90% Why you stickin' up for em? You a pothead focker? No, I have epilepsy and have never been able to drive a bus. I would be more than happy to trade off. Granted I don't have full blown Gran Mal seizures I still have to take medication daily. Was diagnosed when I was 13. Played HS and college FB and have been coaching for 25 years, but just like anyone with diabetes, if I don't take my meds I have problems. Have you considered trading in the medicine for cannabis (weed?)

I couldn't find my little retractable thing that I hook into my belt loop week 3. I had my timberland boots in the truck so I ran down and took the shoestring out of one of the boots. I tied my play sheet around my belt loop. We won and I'm superstitious. So the rest of the year I have been using that shoestring to tie my play sheet to my belt loop.
I rarely look at it either, but I feel like I have to have it, and I don't want to carry it around all game.

Make sure the kids have some fun. If you are playing a team you KNOW you can't beat, loosen up and make sure the kids have fun.
We had a year like this. We had a practice or two where we did a 7 on 7 tournament. I'm talking linemen were also playing WR/QB you name it.
Kids had a blast and the coaches did too. Best thing we did that season.

I'd simplify your systems so you can have more players playing both ways, and not force a two platoon just because that's what you see on TV. I think this would help a lot with the players finding it boring and quitting too. A lot of high schools that shouldn't be platoon will do it just because that's what college and NFL teams do. Your studs have to be on the field, and generally no amount of reps is going to make up the genetic difference. Amen to this. Not only that, when forced to choose, our best players play defense. We can hide kids on offense, but you can't dictate where the other team attacks your defense.

Smarter guys should play OL. A lot more to remember on that side of the ball.
If the OL are bored then possibly run the ball more? OL love to run block and be aggressive.
The small/fast guys who can't catch go play defense. If they can catch look at them for offense.

I am a new Offensive Coordinator and I am not getting the greatest information from the booth. I realize this is my fault as I haven't told my assistant what to look for. Do you all have any suggestions as what to tell him to look for? When I was up in the booth I looked at d-line then backers then coverage and relayed that info preplay call. We are a spread team as well. any help you can give will be appreciated. Script the first set of plays, or at least formations. This way before hand, you can draw up how you expect them to line up. He can confirm this for you, or tell you what is different. He can look at the paper for play #2 as soon as the 1st play is over. Add notes on there for what you want relayed down to you off of each formation.

I guess I was asking if it is a douche bag move to have their film before they have ours? Do you guys send film to pretty much whoever asks you? This will be week 6... I have every game our week 9 opponent has played thus far. I have every game on a team in our district that we won't play till roughly week 12 in the playoffs as well. I never thought of not sending film until they ask for the exchange. Usually I already have every game but the the one they just played and I send the exchange. I might start waiting till they ask for film. How I look at it too. I already have their film, so why be the one to offer the exchange? Just accept it once they ask.

I guess I should also say that I am not the one who puts our film up on Hudl, so that's main reason I never offer exchange. Our coach who always puts the film up is the one who accepts the requests or offers exchange. He also adds them to our proper libraries as teams accept the offers for film.
I guess I was asking if it is a douche bag move to have their film before they have ours? Some teams don't accept offers until Monday sometimes around here. It stinks not getting film until Monday. Even had Tuesday a time or two over the years. So for these reasons I find it is important to start gathering film as soon as you can. Some of the teams we play don't take film near as serious as we do. It's not that they do this to be jerks, but they either already have film (which I doubt) or they don't watch much film (which is what I think is most likely.)
They get ODK pretty much immediately by whoever on staff can get to it first. Or everyone will do a game. Then a coach burns it on to DVDs as the internet in our area is unreliable. On top of games, OC will get just the other teams defensive plays. DC will get games as well as just the other teams offensive plays. We just watch them at home over the weekend when we get time. On Monday we are ready to rock and roll with film and walk through formations. Coaches discuss and start finalizing plans for that weeks game.
Do you guys send film to pretty much whoever asks you? I feel like we collect and share more film than most teams.

Is anyone else out there who is a Hudl Hoarder?
Any team on our schedule that we have yet to play, I ask for film. I find who they played and send a request to their most recent opponent. Actually can't believe how much film we end up getting. By this time of the season, I usually have every game of my opponent the week before we play. I sit down on Friday night and ODK the crap out of them. Then on Saturday morning I start breaking it down at my house and truly watching the games.
I never offer exchanges to my opponents. I already have their film so I just wait for them to offer the exchange to me.
Anyone else do this? Is this a douche bag move?

Advocare- Hydrate or Rehydrate can't remember what it is called.
We give it to our varsity guys on Thursday night and again on Friday a few hours before the game. This helped us win this past Friday. Other team was cramping like crazy, dropping like flies as it was 92 degrees at kickoff. It was a close game until the 4th quarter. They were cramping and we scored 3 scores to pull away.
Our coach sells the stuff. We just buy it with the booster money through him, as he obviously sells it to the team at his cost in order to save the team money. That's the only reason he started selling it.
We won't be using anything but this in the future.

I did keto hybrid plan last year with a movement plan (not hard workout- just riding bike, walking, golfing...anything active three times a day preferably before meals) last year for a while and lost 40 lbs from January to June. Over summer I got off of it and gained 10lbs back. I have cleaned things back up since being back to school. The thing that I benefited the most from was improvement in sleep quality. I typically hadn't been able to get through the night without waking up 8-10 times. After starting this plan only woke up once or twice. It's definitely worth a shot if you are looking to change up eating habits. The draw backs were that you only ate 3 meals a day and delayed the first one. There's definitely been a sleep improvement! I really have ignored any set meal plans, either ingredients or times. I keep my macros about where they should, and eat when Im able. Sometimes I eat breakfast, sometimes at 6 am before I leave the house, and sometimes I'm not hungry, and coffee more than tides me over til lunch. I realize I might not be optimizing what I'm doing, BUT I feel awesome, and I see results. I'm happy with slow, long-term results. Im in this for the long haul, I have no need to rush anything. Absolutely man. Diets are a fad that only last a few weeks. Lifestyle change is the way to go, and it sounds like that is what you have done. Kudos to you brother!

I pretty much follow the paleo diet, but I don't have "cheat days" if I feel like eating something then I do.
I also run with the team during conditioning though.

Why not save the cards for later use? We play most of the same teams every year, unless they get a new coaching staff, we will see the same stuff next year.
It also doesn't have to be fancy, just draw the thing up.
If a coach doesn't like watching film, then I would question him as a coach. Film is the most important part of the game if ya ask me. Doesn't mean you have to spend 12 hours on the weekend breaking down film though.
I watch our game the next day and just watch it straight through while taking notes when I can. Then I will watch it at least one more time that evening and analyze each play and take more thorough notes. We then meet on Sunday where myself and the other coaches compare notes and watch the film together.
Sunday is usually when we get the other teams film, and we will begin to break it down as a staff...but nothing too in depth, just sharing ideas and watching the film to get on the same page. Then we all go home to our families and watch more of the film that evening, and into Monday before practice to finalize the game plans. We also have group chats on facebook to discuss things we see.
Our coaches meeting will last 3 hours MAX. To much technology to force everyone to stay at the coaches office all day.

In the past, practice would end in season, giving me enough time to get one of my kids and dinner going just in time for my wife to be home with the other child. This year, our practices will be later and my wife will be getting both kids and potentially have to make dinner (if we want to eat at a relatively decent time). She is one that on her menu is generally pasta only, after that, it can get scary. My question: What are your Monday's-Wednesday's like for dinner when you have school aged kids and a wife who works as well? We don't make much money and eating out can be expensive. We also do not eat fast food. Anyone in this situation? Any tricks of the trade? We were thinking about cooking dinner at night to heat up the next day. Dont have time to read the entire thread, so this may have already been said..... but the crock pot saves our family.

We did on my pop warner team in 6th grade. I was fat, unathletic and undeveloped. We did it and you never know where the player was coming from. Had to sit out a week for hurting my lower back in it. I stopped playing football until high school. I was much better in high school. Haha. Ya I don't get it. Call me soft, but id much rather be working fundamentals or mesh drills or something like that. If you can't instill a level of physicality during your indy drills then thats your own fault. You are not soft. I was blessed with lots of athletic ability, and was the best player on my team growing up, ended up being a 1st Team All American in college.....I HATED THIS DRILL! Dumbest thing I have ever done.
