i just had a thought... what if i could make a mold of sorts
spray that expanding foam in it it would take on the mold shape
and now i have a big donut made out of the expanding foam
idk i'm just spitting ideas out here, i love the idea of the tackling wheel, i just have a hard time paying that much money for a foam object that cavemen invented a million years ago

i dont know the head coaches throughout CA... it is a huge state... i can barely keep track of the ones in the east bay area
some good ones to note
obviously Lad, and no alumbaugh at DLS Murphy at Clayton Valley Macy at Campolindo Sweeney at Foothill
these guys win every single year...and all of them feature really damn good OL play

And to clarify I'm not talking monster truck tire But bigger than the tires on a civic Something In-between No I understand the dimensions, my school doesn't seem to have the space to have a tire lying around (though my college did just fine having a tire outside 24/7/365) there have been times where track (girls) was running around our football practice field while we were warming up. got it, i think i overreacted above because there have been times in the past where our campus looked like a tire graveyard... not even ones i use for football, just tires in random spots on campus

Have the fat kids go with your OL coach Skinny kids go with your wr coach Buff kids go with RB coach
Best looking kid goes with qb Coach
Start working O, and shuffle kids around over next few days as you see which talents a kid has

Anyone just use a big tire instead of spending money on a ring ? Some schools may not have an adequate place to store them depending on the mass of the tire It's a freaking tire... You don't need to store it, you just leave it on the ground Roll it behind a building, under the bleachers, in grass... I'm having a hard time thinking of places I couldn't store it I could literally throw it in the pool if I had a rope on it And then pull it up out of the water the next day, and it'd still be fine

Crazy successful places and coaches
This year id say the field Just because both teams are losing SO many dudes to the draft
They're NFL factories that will keep making all Americans but still, they each lost a lot and will be younger in a lot of areas
Ohio state had something like 22 dudes declare for the draft, and they expect roughly 15-16 of them to get drafted
They're not replacing so so players

So you were the little guy with the big RB, huh? What did you think of 100,189 to watch a glorified practice? Re. Speakers...Tim Kight was good...I actually rather enjoyed Coach Tressel as well... I also sat in on Coach Meyer's chalk talk on kick off...he gets excited like he is a GA all over again Haha yes that was me It was cool to see that many people but oh my god I swear our games are louder We couldn't believe how quiet 100k people could be

i get the most mail from iowa state, mizzou, and wyoming but i cant get any of them to actually have any interest in any of our kids You're California. Those schools aren't going to get any kid from the Southeast unless they're a knocked kneed cross eyed and covered in chiggers. Their fishing. i didnt understand a single word you said

i am changing things up a bit... last few years i have really tried to master a few things and move real slow
i am going with what i would call an ambitious install schedule
still using my 3 day install plan
but doing more
i felt like last year i worked SO much power and counter that i overworked those and under did some other things so i want to spread my time out more wisely this year
also doing some different personnel groupings and formations than last year
so putting in a little more with each day of the 3 day install
then when days 4-5-6 come... i will add on to what we did 1,2,3 7,8,9 will be some more addition
day 10 i am going to run a TON of team.. just to get stuff and film and see what needs the most time/reps to get better at
picked up an idea from Cal's spring ball and their new OC... his theory is dont try to be perfect in spring ball... that is what summer and fall are for... experiment in spring ball, throw stuff together just to see it and get film of it... some stuff you will scrap, some you will like and then you work to polish it and get better
i need to be much more creative this year and not be so amazing Rb dependent so it is going to be some fun time for me to get our WRs and other RBs involved get some option and Q runs involved, and then when we are off for all of finals week, i can see watch a ton of film with my staff and we can trim out anything that is wasting our time, and continue to develop wrinkles or plays that we think are worth using

This is the first year I've missed since the Tressel era, as I had dance dad obligations. As wolfden stated it has gone downhill in recent years, which is unfortunate as it was one I always looked forward to. bdud, what did you think of the locker rooms, meeting rooms, Woody Hayes' last chalkboard, hallway displays, etc? What was the gift this year? it was all pretty cool i liked how Michigan is forbidden everywhere and instead all signs say "Team Up North" or "TUN" coaches got an ohio state backpack

I've never signed up
Roughly every other month one is sent to the school on my name
It feels like it's a 2:1 ratio of pages of ads to pages of writing
And every article seems like "insert fancy name here" will help you win games
And it's 90% blah blah blah and 10% good stuff
I'll glance at it when it comes in the mail and then toss it
I try to have as little paper in my life as possible Paper to me is like fooseball to bobby boucher's mom... The devil

I love it, but understand I AM NOT THE NORMAL HC.. Meaning, I don't tell my band to be quiet, HELL I DANCE pre-game with beats Headphones on and I dance during the games. That's who I am. I haven't tried to be different. NOW I rub some HC's the wrong way. I have had some old school legends tell me (I think you are are a great coach and can move to a different more prominent school, but you have to change). They may be correct. But I am who I am, my kids don't mind it. so we play music and it hasn't been a problem. I want to be on your staff

music on field, i dont like it early... lie teaching basic drills and install time but i think by the time you are in the summer or season grind, adding music to your Every Day Drill Indy time is a great way to help with energy (both coach and player) as you are getting reps ... also helps with energy during tempo while in team
music on weight room - i like it personally... i always have headphones in the gym when i lift, so i get it... the problem at my school becomes kids want to be the DJ, and be next on the aux and their focus shifts to what song should i play next. So i bring my ipad, let them play pandora... and there is no picking the next song.
i also make them earn the music every single day... if we start off, and guys are pushing big weight, intensity is good, and most importantly they are staying on the clock with my interval timer ( i time/monitor all of their sets) then i am happy and the music goes on usually by their 3rd/4th set of the 1st lift
if they dont have the level of focus i want, then i yell more and they get no music

So Cal. And the main reason why teams are already doing 7 on 7 is because they feel the need to keep their kids away from the leaches that are the 7 on 7 all-star tournaments. Here in our section (Ncs) we were specifically told not to have our own teams That it would count as illegal out of season practices... So it has become nothing but all star teams, football pimps, and sloppy football I truly think some (not all) of our kids have gotten worse from competing this spring (bad habits, inflated egos)

I always thought there were at least other college coaches at the camps working so kids could get exposure. Like go to Ohio St camp because coaches from X,Y,and Z will be ther too. I know local D 2 guys would go work camps at Big Ten schools so they could look at kids, that out the window now? It only applies to FBS. So Ohio's staff couldn't work at Ohio State. Western Illinois or someone like that could. FCS and below can still go evaluate kids at other camps. This is true It only applies to D1 FBS schools

That's gonna kill college camps. correct... everyone is pretty upset about it the SEC got butt hurt, they whined a lot... NCAA caved in to them ... and now the kids, small colleges, and high schools who host satellite camps are the ones who lose out the satellite camp we were planning was going to be a big fundraiser for us ... that is gone now

Can that be right? So a camp like Ohio St where you probably get 1000's of kids and only Ohio St coaches can work it? So will that mean the Ohio St staff telling a bunch of HS coaches what to do with 900 kids while they work with 100 (hypothetical numbers there)? That's correct

Post by coachbdud on Apr 11, 2016 15:05:59 GMT -6
That is correct College coaches can only coach at camps at their school facilities or facilities they regularly practice or play games in
So correct, no more Mac schools at Ohio state
Sucks for me, we were hosting a Michigan camp I've already spent $300 out of pocket for insurance... I think I should sue NCAA

nothing is worse to me than HS bands i can not stand live bands, bands at games really make me mad we (coaches) have silenced our band during games before because they have been so annoying and play non stop during the game the only thing more annoying in all of sports is probably a girls softball dugout lol! You hate live bands at like bars and stuff too? haha I love live music. But ya I get that some HS bands are super annoying and never shut up. I love the HBCU style bands we have here. Theyre freakin turnt all game. Good stuff. yeah pretty much all bands... just because rappers dont have bands usually, and i only listen to that trap $hit #MetroBoominWantsSomeMore #ifYoungMetroDontTrustYou

the more rules you have the more you have to enforce i have seen some team rules before, whether it be on here or talking to a coach in person... and it is just like wtf ... who gives a $hit i dont have time to police that i had an uncle that coached a few years ago and bragged how they only wore black cleats, you cant be an individual and blah blah blah who cares saw the no long hair/facial hair above... no offense coach, but who gives a $hit i have so many more things to worry about ( making sure kids grades are up, getting kids in the weight room, feeding my kids, coaching my butt off) to worry about little things like those just seems rather shallow and pedantic i personally do not care if every kid wants to wear 1700 pairs of wristbands, sleeves, neon green highlighter socks, whatever from a demanding standpoint, i am trying to increase how demanding we are in the off season... i think any game we lose occurs in the off season, not with what we do in season we give them every friday off in the summer, i gave the kids spring break off this year (this past week) we have a relatively short practice compared to most HS teams we are one of the only teams in our area who does not charge each player a fee to play Taking the availability of athletes out of the equation, the programs that I have seen to be more "straight laced" and "professional" and "less me-scentric" are the ones that tend to have continued success. In the opposite programs, you'll get a flash-in-the-pan w/ a group of superb athletes/kids, but don't tend to have the same success. Just been my experience, but maybe it's b/c I'm not in California. I'm sure your community's culture is going to drive a lot of these rules and rituals. I'm sure many of you would frown upon prayer before practice or games, but you're not from the Bible Belt either. still fairly common to pray before games i dont always participate and i make it a point to stress to every member that they do not have to join, only if they want to it would be illegal for me to say that they all have to join the prayer this year our starting QB was muslim, when the team prayed he would go about 10 yards away and engage in his own prayer, often i would go stand beside him in support of him i didnt want him to feel alone

i think it's you get 4 or 6 nominations
plus 2 additional nominations for every LEAGUE win
All of the positions are put up across a big white board teams can nominate any of their kids they want, but can't go over their total (based on league wins)
so league champion, has best team, and therefore gets the most players nominated
if you nominate a kid 2 ways, that is 2 of your nominations
after all the names are on the board, we decide how many to select from each position as 1st team and 2nd team... anyone left after that on the board gets honorable mention
we go a little overboard as a league... we don't pick 11 first team O and 11 first team D plus a kicker and a utility like other leagues here do (that adds up to 24 total all league positions)
our league provides 30 medals that say 1st team all BVAL
so we decided to honor as many kids as possible so we give out all 30
those "extra" 1st team spots we change yearly... just depends on a specific position and if there are a lot of guys nominated there... for example this year was REALLY strong at RB and LB... so we gave extra spots there
overall i like it, it can get a little bit like we are passing too many awards out, but we have a good amount of flexibility each year and most of the time we get it right
every now and then a WTF sneaks in there ... but that is our fault as coaches
if i know Johnny from my school, and Timmy from yours are going to be fighting for a 1st team all league spot... i cant vote for my own kid, but i dont wanna vote for his real competition (Timmy) so instead i vote for David Sack O Crap... the scrub from the 1-4 team... but when half the room thinks like this, David Sack O crap ends up being a 1st team kid
