Be rigid in fundamentals, but flexible in scheme

You might get a cease and desist from Bill Belichick, but I think "Do your Job" really says it all. It's not cheesy, it's not over the top, and really covers it everything. Work your fundamentals everyday, Take care of your academic responsibilities, Help lift up your teammates. Don't go over the top. Just emphasize the little things that you need to get the job done, and great things will happen.

Tom Herman Bobby Petrino Lincoln Riley Kliff Kingsbury Lane Kiffin Dave Aranda And of course: Saban and Meyer Tom Herman?? He doesn't call plays anymore, but when he was the OC at OSU, they were incredible. Yes, they had great talent, but look at the drop-off from 2014 to 2015 when Beck/Warriner took over. JT Barrett had his best year by far under Herman, and Cardale Jones was being talked about as a first round pick. He was able to adjust his scheme seamlessly from Braxton to JT to Cardale. Yes, they're all great QBs, and the talent around them was fantastic, but they didn't miss a beat.

I grew up in New Jersey, and my junior year, our HC organized a "joint practice" with a nearby high school at the end of July. It ended up being just a scrimmage and the NJSIAA ended up taking away our first scrimmage as punishment.
Our coaches would always say "We have our scrimmage in X days...I mean joint practice"

People think Mike Leach is a kooky dude, but there's a method to his madness. The reason he talks about pirates, so much is this: In England at the time, there were a lot of castes and class conflict, but if you were a pirate none of that mattered. Didn't matter if you were black or white, gay or straight, rich or poor. You had one goal: To find the treasure. Now, I'm not naive. Obviously, things aren't perfect in this area. However, the game of football is the same in my eyes. At the end of the day, none of that outside stuff matters. It's about a group of people working together to strive for something bigger than themselves. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think most members of a football team (players and coaches) would feel the same way.

No they do Goal cards, commitment cards are different. We do goal cards during the season and they work out really well. But how are you supposed to do a goal card in December or January or February? "Yes coach my practice goal for this week is to uh not practice, cause we are not in season so I will check with you at the end of the week coach and let you know if I fulfilled my practice goal." He calls them commitment cards because you're making the commitment to your teammates to follow through. I think you can do off season S/C goals. Making commitments like: "I promise to increase my squat total by x amount of pounds" or "I promise to run gassers three days a week." Obviously, you'd have to adjust them for the offseason, but it could help as far as accountability with the offseason program.

Correlation and causation. Just because they did something, and were subsequently successful, doesn't mean that the thing caused the success. Otherwise those cut-off hoodies I have would have got me more wins. Definitely agree with you. Wasn't saying it's the reason behind their success, but in his book, he pointed out how the cards were a way of having teammates holding each other accountable and strengthening the team's bond

Bob Ladouceur did this at De La Salle. Each player would make three commitments: A practice one, a game one, and a S/C one. Each player had a partner, and their job was to make sure their teammate followed through on their commitment. Seems to have worked out pretty well for them.

Getting old sneaks up on you. FNL hasn't been on since 2011 so there's a pretty good chance that a lot of HS kids don't know anything about it. Netflix keeps it relevant amongst High school kids. Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose!

I believe wholeheartedly in first amendment rights. Players absolutely have the right to sit or kneel during the anthem. However, those rights are restricted at school and in the workplace. There are a lot of things you can't say/do/wear at school and at work, so it's absolutely within the school's rights to discipline a player for kneeling. And for that matter, within the NFL's right to put an end to kneeling during the anthem (Which I sense is what's happening behind the scenes because ratings are plummeting). Let's dispel this notion that this solely about freedom of speech/, though. The NFL fines players for celebrating after Touchdowns. I've seen school districts ban wearing American flag apparel.
Schools/Corporations limit freedom of speech/expression all of the time because it can cast a negative light on the organization.

I'm of the thought process that if you don't want the offense to run up the score, stop them. Obviously, leaving your starters in when the game is well in hand is not only in bad taste but stupid (injury risk), but at a certain point, it's not your job to avoid hurting the other team's feelings. It's a good thing that your kids are playing hard to the final whistle.
My favorite story pertaining to this is when Florida was playing Georgia in the 90s, and they were winning like 45-17 super late in the game. An assistant goes up to them and told him "Nobody has ever scored 50 against UGA at home". So the HBC calls a timeout, dials up a trick play, scores a touchdown. He then turns to the same assistant and says "They have now"

I'm sure a ton of you have read the article published by the brain surgeon about why he's letting his 11 year old son play football. I think it segues nicely to my point that the purpose of all of these studies getting attention isn't so parents are more informed. The media has launched a slander campaign against the sport because they know fear mongering leads to views and clicks. Most of the studies out there on this issue are correlation-based studies. Not that correlation-based studies aren't useful, but it's dangerous when people use them as fact. Correlation doesn't equal causation. There's a reason you don't see articles by doctors who are saying the research is inconclusive and most studies against the sport are biased (Not saying that they don't raise interesting questions - but the sample size is biased). They don't fit their doomsday narrative

This whole hashtag thing is a joke right? Can someone explain, thanks It started as a joke to make fun of the kids that are "all talk" and kind of throw the fact that they're an athlete in everyone's face.

Urban Meyer has used a lot of this at OSU. In his book, he talks a lot about "The power of the unit" How bonding occurs most in small units. They have nine units, and basically they emphasize doing things for your unit

Yes, rings are what matters. But rings have more to do with the culture/system than one guy. Not to say that Peyton didn't play in some winning cultures. He wouldn't have made 4 SBs, and won 2 if he didn't, but Belichick is in a class of his own. Brady is still great w/o BB, but he doesn't have five rings. Belichick went 11-5 with Matt Cassel. He went 3-1 with Jimmy Garoppolo and Jacoby Brissett. The Colts went 2-14 without Peyton. Peyton succeeded no matter the coach, the defense, etc. He was basically a coach on the field. If I'm starting a franchise, I'm choosing Peyton over any QB in history. His success wasn't tied to a coach's culture. He was the culture.

You could incentivize it to get them competing. Like losers have to clean up the field, or winners get to eat first at team meal.

I think a more important question is: Why the hell was Sark going No-Huddle when they were holding onto a lead? Yes, Scarborough got hurt, but Harris has been the more consistent back throughout the year. Milk the clock when you have a Defense like that. You can't put them out there for 99 plays with Deshaun Watson, and expect them to hold

Stangs13065 I don't think this is a "classic" case because of the timing. A classic case would have had Dykes being called in and dismissed after Thanksgiving. I don't think that's why he got fired, necessarily. I meant that's why he's had a lack of success.

Just a classic case of an Air Raid team having a potent offense with an abysmal defense. Probably going to happen to Kliff at TTU if it doesn't get turned around (Hope it does, though...I'm a big KK fan). I do think the timing is weird, as the dead period is almost over. This was also expected to be a rebuilding year as they just lost Goff + 6 WRs. I wonder if Tony Franklin saw the writing on the wall last year...

Never had music at practice. We didn't have the resources, and other teams practice at the same time in close proximity. It would always be blasting in the weight room, though. I'm not super picky with music, but High School kids these days listen to the most awful, unlistenable music that there is. It's a sad excuse for music. And before I sound like too much like a 60 year old grump, I should point out that I just recently finished playing.

I'm currently a high school student that recently finished playing, and I'm looking to break into the coaching industry. I'm looking to begin networking, and absorbing as much about the game as possible. I plan on attending clinics near where I live (New Jersey). Which clinic should I attend? Glazier, Nike, or some other one?

Also, do we even need a speaker, or do we want these to be sessions where coaches can come and just bounce ideas off of each other? If you can find one that would be cool. If not, we should at least have like a "moderator" to set the tone, keep people on task, etc.
