This is so niche but the 1986 Sugar Bowl.

The first thing you do is scream at them to get good. I am looking at HC jobs as well. First thing for me will be to meet the guys. Go over offseason expectations and get them lifting. If they are losers I am assuming that the weight room wasn't a huge component of the previous program. Make it an exciting place to be. I also want measurables. I have experience with air raid, flexbone, pro style, spread (IZ and OZ). I want to know what I have so I can decide on which system to run. After that I need to get my staff together. I want to find out if there are guys in the schools I can get on board and how many of my guys I need to bring in. My guys are important but if the school doesn't have jobs for them I'd rather go with former coaches already there and coach them up. Once the staff is hired we will do a retreat/staff clinic to bond and get us on the same page. I thought you were getting out of coaching for the real world?

I made ours in Excel this year. First time I've tried it and its a cheap way out, but can be as fancy as you wanna design it. I put them up after a player has gone through fall camp, or if they are a late arrival after they've stuck a week or two.

Self awareness is very important on these test and in life. A man's got to know his limitations.

I agree with both suggestions. Love my chiro for acute issues. But youtube up Kelly Starrett for ongoing flexibility/mobility maintenance work.

We're talking about taking a day off. We play on Tuesday and are looking at not practicing on Wednesday.

How does a hook n ladder go down in the stat book? It's a forward pass for 8 yards and then a lateral for an additional 35. This is the humblest of humblebrags. Well done, sir, on the play and the post.

Would spend a {censored} ton of money to spend a long weekend learning leadership/culture building from Coach Vint and dcohio and his header.

First thing I'd do is go on silent count. Don't give the defense any rythym to guess the snap from.

Wow. How do you let somebody swipe a snap? That's terrible.

We used to have one coach with a CDL and he would drive a bus sometimes. Now our school system contracts buses out to a private company, I don't know if they'd even let a coach drive one of their buses.

I usually look at the offensive formation and then how the defense aligns. "Oh, man Rocket Toss is there." Same.

Yeah, I dunno if this is a left-coast cultural thing, but we aren't having this whole "omg I wanna play in the spread" thing with kids. It's more "Coach is so mean to me" and "I wanna focus on my golf career" and "Sorry, the waves were huge this morning and I didn't want to miss the swell". Last one seems valid to me, Coach.

Sounds like you have a good situation waiting to be exploited. Make it a focus and it sounds like the kids will show up, as long as your freshman coaches that run it currently will be on board with amping it up. Get the JR High coaches involved too if you can.
Design a solid basic program and have a big meeting to sell it to them. Put up record boards and get t-shirts with a weight room specific theme, your basic relatively cheap things that recognize participation in the weight room. My experience has been if you give teenagers a chance to lift weights they're gonna show up. Especially if one of the 'high school coaches' is involved.

Is the junior high 7-8-9 grades? Maybe you look at implementing a program for all grades. Get them started coming in 7th grade, so it's just something they do by the time they're in 9th. That may be a longer term investment that would take time to pay off though.
What's your facility situation? Would they have to come to your building and how far away is that? Or do they have their own weight room?

What do you mean by openly recruiting players? What about it that other people are doing is illegal?
You gotta coach what you know, but if it's costing you players where's the uniqueness in your system getting you?

Dave Ramsey (business/finance guy) has a 'no gossip' policy. Gossip is defined as complaining about something to someone who can't do anything about it. When you catch it, address it, don't allow it to continue.

Just to join in, we finished an undefeated regular season Tuesday night with a 50 point win and I've got players/parents mad because the starters only got to play til halftime on 'their' 8th grade night. We were up 40 at the time. And the kids that subbed for them were mostly 8th graders too.

Slip a little Benadryl in her sippy cup and get on the plane. I drive a lot cause it's just me and like it, but if time is an issue at all I fly. Would not trade a day at the park for a few dollars and hours in the car.

I am always partial to scout offenses that use a coach as a QB and said QB talks trash the entire session. I'll admit I've Uncle Rico'd a few scout team offenses in my day.

Using the bathroom, with a laptop is a seriously good way to get some quick stuff done. This is WAY too much information.

We got the Nike Mach Speed stock uniforms this year. Didn't get any kind of washing/care instructions with them. Love the uniforms and they need to last us 4-5 years (at least), but I just figured a bit of staining was the price you pay for playing on grass in a white uniform. I did have to put a moratorium on eye black after our first game. I'm a bit of an a-hole on the care and feeding of our uniforms, but if we'd paid $250 a set I'd be insane.

Just googled donkey basketball. Thank you, I needed that! Edit: I can't imagine a school in our system allowing donkeys on the gym floor, though.

Middle School is this on steroids It's worse than steroids. We do the DL away from the lettuce eaters and run scout O with tires (6 vs 8). Just working reads and run fits. All gap scheme stuff is worked in Indy for the most part. 4 of our 8 opponents run the wing-t. They still screw up belly and belly counter. Those kids make me punish my liver. We haven't done team defense since the second week of fall practice. No use in it. We do 5 on 3 with OL/DL, and key reads/gap fits with everybody else on trash cans. Offensively we do any team vs dummies, but seem to get decent mileage out of half line.
