Depends on how good the player is, and how blatant the trash talking is

Perks, no.
Recognition, yes.
Tiered sponsorships that are on display in the game day program or a banner on the fence are done by nearly every non-profit for a reason.
Ego will drive it, pride will drive it……doesn’t mean they don’t actually care, it’s just different when everyone is going to see what you gave, or at least what level you are at.
Most cars are bought out of want, not need. Your vehicle is a status symbol.
This kind of thing works the same way

Let’s get this back on track…..power read stuff please take to another thread.
Couple for us:
1). Teams are only lifting weights and running…..no speed/agility development
2). As a line coach, I got to say there is a lot to be desired in how DL/OL play is coached. A lot of assignment coaching, very little technique.
3). Coaches not understanding/investing in recruiting. Most guys either want to Field of Dreams it, or just pester/beg kids to play.
Both ways are lazy and ineffective replacements for how you actually get kids to play = building relationships

I feel like a lot of you have had the same experiences I’ve had where you get a special frosh or sophomore.
If you can mix him in with solid upperclassmen where we can be a role player, he can pop.
If he has to be the guy that young, you are in for a long season

To relate this to high school ball……we earn our money (what little there is) in getting our 10th and 11th best starters to play at their highest levels.
Your top half needs coaching, but if you are any good, those guys should be winning their individual matchups.
We will spend a third of our time on our worst starting OL guy, because the deeper in the playoffs you go, the better the chance he will get exposed.

At that level, it is all about if you got the quarterback……which is a lot about luck.
Lots of Colts and Patriots coaching staffs got to build lives for 20 years plus (as opposed to move every few years) due to the stability of manning/luck and Brady. Lots of long runs in Green Bay with rodgers/farve.
Yes things like culture and coaching matter, because you’re going to need a 5th rounder to pop at some point to win in the playoffs.
That is where their money is earned IMO…..how can you manufacture “cheap” starters? Patriots excel at it…..Gibbs was good at getting guys no one wanted to block wide zone……it’s a game of limited resources, and the best staffs know how to plug holes with less than ideal talent and overcome injuries.
But long term success comes from having a mahomes

I am enjoying both the directly related and the meta conversations around this topic.
One thing to add: in comprising a good analysis, one must first have a solid data set, where outliers are excluded.
So, games won or lost by 2 scores or more need to be ignored for now. (Or whatever your definite of a competitive game is……sometimes a 50-24 game was competitive until midway through the third quarter).
The close games will help drive meaningful insight.
All that being said, we were a .500 team last season, which is a down year for our program.
Tracking 3rd downs through 6 games…..even including the 3 losses we had at this time which were 3+ TD differentials.
We were 100% on 3rd and 2 or less
We were 86% on 3rd and 3-7
We were 30% on 3rd and 8+
Of our 3rd and long situations, 2/3 were the result of penalty.
The most useful part of this was being able to sell the kids on “we are this close”……and getting them to focus on eliminating holds, etc.

One other thing that molded me…..my freshman year our coach installed the Short Punt as a change up.
I had never seen anything like that, and it got my creative juices going…….stayed up late trying to come up with every direct snap formation I could think of…..
Fast forward 4 years, and I’m a freshman on a D3 football team that ran Red Faughts version of the run and shoot (Ellison with rocket toss in place of orbit/belly sweep).
Opened my eyes to the value of utilizing the forward pass as an equalizer.
I believe it was later my freshman year in 2005 that I found Hueys

OL has the best ones…..
“Arseholes and elbows” - from behind that’s all of you I should see because you are flat backed
“D!ck to d!ck” - roll your hips into the defender
“Phuk the gap” - take anything that comes to your gap and roll your hips into it
“Roll the meatball/cup of soup” - pass set gets their hands up and tight to their chest ready to punch

Here in my part of Virginia (smallest classification) turnout is really low. We had only 6 teams in our region play this past spring. One school has already canned its season because of low numbers. Two of the more successful programs have 30 and 22 out. I hear in the situation is about the same in the wester part of the state for the small schools. sadly it is a dying game too physical for mommies too manly for snowflakes the nwo infiltration has killed this country from within by killing football prove me wrong..... We’ve got great numbers for our size. Games not dying, but how it is played (and more importantly, how you interact with players) is different than even 20 years ago.

I was wondering if any of you have specific tips or strategies for moving a player out of a starting role with a lot of reps into one where he’s splitting time. The obvious answer is a candid conversation, but wanted to know if there was any wisdom to tap into here. You gotta make the change, you do it. Good idea to tell the kid beforehand one on one, coach him up on how to handle it.

Also, give me Donald, Sapp, White, and Watt on the D line and 7 guys signed at the league minimum for the back 7…. Servicable CBs are a dime a dozen. See what I did there? 😄 I would say yes. To be clear, with that dream front, I’m never playing 0. We would have the lowest blitz percentage in the league. The NFL is full of guys who can play soft cover 2 and keep everything in front of them, especially if we are only worried about routes that take less than 2.1 seconds to develop.

DL is where I feel this conversation makes me giddy……I really believe 4 all time greats up there and you could get away with playing cover 2 with nfl minimum guys.
College guys talk all the time how the hardest cats to get are dominant DL guys, because of rarity and impact.
You can avoid throwing at Deion, but you have to account for a great DL every play, regardless of the play.

I am still stuck on Marino for a buck. If Dan is letting it rip in todays NFL this cap hit could be the best value ever in the history of sports!!!!!!! I unpopulary maintain he is the greatest QB of all time. I’m spending my money on OL/DL……anyone looks like hall of gamer running behind Pace, Munoz, Allen, Mawae, and Shaq Mason (could’ve gone several different ways on the last OG (ex. Grimm or Faneca), but I wanted to take a moment to highlight that Mason was the true MVP of super bowl 53)

I’m in Indiana. Our playoffs go: 8 team sectional Regional Semi state State Sectional championship gets you 1 point Regional 2 Semi-state 3 State 4 We reclassify our 6 classes every 2 years. 6 points during that 2 year cycle and you moved up to the next classification. Earn 2 points in that higher classification and you stay there. What it has done is leveled out the playing field for 2A-6A, as the teams dominating those classes (privates) are good enough to move up and still get two points. 1A, however, has the highest percentage of private schools. Half of them suck, but the ones in Indy and Lafayette will have high school enrollment numbers of 200 kids, but they are almost all athletes. The 1A school that won this years state title started playing football in 2015. Know any 5 year programs taking state?I’m not a “oh they can recruit” guy, but the advantage of access to a big population, coupled with the ability to cap enrollment makes for a huge advantage. And, there are enough of them that the keep screwing up the success factor for each other. Outside of that, it’s been good for football in our state.-Yeah, we have a school that did that and better. And it wasn't in the smallest classification. It is a public school that split off of 2 other schools because of growth (south of Charlotte) and played in the upper divisions... won in the 3rd year and in the last 13 years has won it/played for it 6 times. - would you say that your assessment is the general consensus of coaches around the state? And do y'all do this for all sports? or just football? Most public school coaches in my state dislike private schools.....especially at the 1A level. Most public 1A schools struggle to get 40 players, and usually 15-20 of those are varsity caliber. You do everything right, overcome 50% free reduced lunch, etc......and your most talented team in 30 years gets destroyed by a school whose running back was second string on a 6A team the season before.... Yes, the success factor is for all sports

As a private school coach in Indiana, I think this is a fair system. We fell just short of getting enough points to move up this year, but we would have accepted the challenge moving up in classification. Our team this year is going to be younger and presumably have lesser athletes. But I still feel we would be competitive in one class higher. There are absolutely some teams that get screwed from having a talented junior and senior class in the wrong two year cycle but it has done a good job moving the top dogs up to a higher classification, while giving stellar public school programs the chance to compete for higher levels of competition. People or fans That look at this as a punishment Are not doing it right. It's an opportunity To take your program to the next level and compete against better competition. Yeah, it works pretty well. I would say seeing the Cathedrals, etc play up has been good overall.
