I want to add that on O this year i went team on Air 90% of the time at most we would go a very quick thud whistle 1 day a week
most weeks all team was done on air
scout team usually sucks, we are still physical and work in our indy time i give us a TON of indy time... much more valuable to me than team.
Were we soft? heck no we broke every school rushing record in history, for both an individual player, and as a team
defensively we often went thud, NEVER full tackled in a team setting (all tackling was during tackling drills) and this was the best tackling team we have had in the 5 years i have been here

Reno glazier this weekend Who is going? I'll be there along with our QB coach and WR coach (Car ride up will likely involve talking about pass plays while I ignore them and think about power )

No I am talking about the SPEAKERS wearing jeans I guess im young enough still that i dont care about any of that, as long as the person speaking has something good to say...ill listen, clothes arnt a marker for intelligence... If you saw me at the SF clinic i was wearing jeans, a long sleeve thermal, and a vest with my company logo on it. I go for comfortable, especially when sitting for hours. that is how i feel, clinics are long days in not the most comfortable chairs i want to feel comfortable i have a personal rule... if i am wearing a belt (i wear a belt with any type of pants that have a button and fly , jeans, slacks, etc.) then i am miserable

GeeZ reading this I must look like a jack@ss at clinics And I never even noticed it I essentially wear an all Nike fit everywhere I go Nike shorts or pants I'm a PE guy so that's just what I wear everyday Never realized many look down on that attire at a clinic Maybe next time I'll go polo and khaki shorts to class it up just a touch I do however refuse to tuck a polo shirt in There's some things I just can't do

my littlest OL was my most aggressive he was maybe 185 but he would put everything he had into, at hip level and grind his facemask into you
he was the best OL under 200 lbs i have coached

I think packaged plays might get restricted
Read on Twitter today that ncaa officials are meeting to discuss moving the OL going downfield on pass from 3 yards to 1 yard
Which doesn't make "a packaged play illegal" But you can't have guys as far downfield and not get called for it

It looks like the only thing we can be sure of is more change. As for TEs- I'm not so sure the game is going that way. I've always said that in order for me to have a TE I need to have 8 linemen first. Maybe It's just the areas I've been, but I've never seen that luxury. I coached 1 year at a school with a decent TE. We've always needed more linemen. Those "Tight Ends" have always served much more value as an Offensive Tackle. And yes, TEs tend to be scooped and horded by the DL coach early. I think the participation numbers for this sport are declining, and especially with bigger kids. I see lots of big kids around HS campuses. But they are soft and unwilling to participate in any kind of physical activity. I used to think this way too... heck i was a 100% 4 wide guy for 3 full years anyone who asked to play TE or Fb was just a fast O lineman however I will say now that I have gone back and do a lot of 21 and 12 personnel stuff, I love it! he is the thing, my very best OL plays TE and FB for me this year, and will again next season (class of 2016) hes also our 2 time defensive MVP (over 100 tackles a year, 1st team all league stud MLB) what i have discovered is this the buy in from the beginning of his sophomore year when he was a guard, to middle of that year when we moved him to TE has gone way up... he would do his job blocking at guard, but something magic about saying he was a TE and switching to a pretty #10 jersey... he busted his butt... we run 90% of the time, and he only caught a handful of passes but he started giving me more in practice and games on offense, and didnt save himself for defense anymore... he was phenomenal in indys this last year and got better every day the other benefit was putting him at TE, i KNEW he would kill his downblock and seal the box down for us... he routinely moved DTs out of the way if he played OL and i moved him unbalanced to down block you kind of know it is coming, where as at TE he moved around right and left all the time without it being so obvious the ball is coming right there at FB, he can lead on every play if i want him to kick out on power lead on counter lead outside on sweep lead inside on Iso i feel i can use him in more ways moving him around at TE and FB, just another side to consider to touch on the subject of fat kids being soft elementary teachers and their mothers make them soft, they are usually big as little kids and are constantly being told to play nice, or theyll hurt someone... so they just get raised as big softies the biggest kid in our entire school is a freshman, he is a legit 6'5" 350 lbs doesnt play football, is in the band i walked by him the other day after lunch, he was sitting on some stairs talking to another teacher, crying , because of something someone had said and while part of me feels bad and understands bullying and it's negative effects the football side of me says, you are 2x the size of anyone else on campus, downblock the little punk that bullied you and then come hit the weights with me

Do any of you tie these rewards to just "being an OL"?! What about if they aren't performing well? Duece yes everyone gets rewarded with orange wedges and capri suns at half time we also use a 5-10 minute segment after INDYS but before team where all the under performing OL get to make macaroni art that displays how they feel about underperforming haha no the stickers i do are for actual pancake blocks, you have to show me the pancake block on your phone, or at least tell me which clip number to look at i am very intrigued by the pancake breakfast thing, i want to do that next year... i might go every OL gets 4 pancakes plus an additional pancake per pancake block or unlimited pancakes if we rush for 500 yards

Our district would tell us not to do this and we'd probably get fired
Our money goes through "student accounts" and we have a treasurer who controls the accounts
Myself and the HC are the only ones who are supposed to actually get into our account to make purchases
She's great about getting checks cut and depositing what we get her
It's much easier to do it this way and have no chance for "money to come up missing " or for someone to say it might
There was a local coach in the Bay Area who got let go, had charges against him, big mess, it was alleged he took fundraising money I believe he was innocent and he eventually got it all worked out but he's no longer coaching there and I feel bad because I feel his name took an unnecessary hit
Your school doesn't have accounts for each sport ?

i use an iPad with a case that has a keyboard attached i have terrible handwriting, this allows me to type my notes What case/keyboard are using? How do you like it? I got an iPad for Christmas and have been looking into the cases with keyboards for this very reason. I'd like to be able to use it at clinics instead of using a bulky notebook. And it's already typed up for me. The brand name is Newtrent Pretty sure I got it on amazon a couple years ago It works well It's a hard case that opens and pivots Ipad itself sticks into a groove on it to stay opened I will sit in a row where no one is in front of me I'll turn the chair in front of my around like a small desk and it works perfect Easier than putting it on my lap

I usually use a tablet and a stylus to handwrite my notes and use the camera to take pictures of diagrams if he's going to fast to draw them myself. I usually wear a team t-shirt, but a nice one in good condition. Sometimes a polo but ours aren't particularly nice. Jeans or khakis, shorts are not an option given the weather. I rarely see coaches venture outside of team shirt+jeans/khakis/shorts. I don't think I've ever seen gym shorts or a cutoff T. What kind of tablet are you taking notes on? I've never had much success hand writing with a stylus on my iPad. Maybe I need to do something different with it? Maybe you have a different tablet. i use an iPad with a case that has a keyboard attached i have terrible handwriting, this allows me to type my notes i would just use my macbook to type notes, but then i can't draw diagrams using an app called paperdesk pro i can click back and forth between using Text, or free drawing through a pen (i can change the size, color) and use my finger or a stylus for that allows me to get the best of both worlds IMO typing notes like with a laptop drawing up plays/drills like with pen/paper

Went to a clinic this weekend and there were a lot of guys doing multiple sessions and I was a little upset, because the guy would constantly bring up a topic and then say "i'll get more into that in the other session later". It was almost like he added a lot of basic filler information in his session, because he had so much time to fill. Also not a big deal, but I feel like every offense/defense scheme session the coach says "you can run this with inferior/smaller/slower/less/dumber players." Waiting for the one coach who starts off by saying "you need to have absolute studs to run this system". Picked up a few things obviously throughout the weekend, but not as much as usual. I felt like I learned more reading a book I bought between sessions. from my experience it is usually better to sit in on a coach for all 3 sessions in a row lets you get a real feel for the system as a whole, how things work off of one another, how it puts guys into conflict the only time i don't do this is if there is 1 session/topic I REALY REALLY want to learn about with another speaker (and only that one thing)

For attire you can't beat cargo shorts with school colored camo pattern and a cut off t shirt, preferably with a macho logo of some kind. Only if a Barbwire tattoo is sticking out of those cut off sleeves

Some of us will go to reno next month but that's gonna be more social/bonding than anything else

Lazy Dog for dinner kicked ass. And so did the waitresses ass. My gosh. Back to studying notes...and thinking about Lazy Dog waitresses. Brad if you like pizza I highly recommend trying a place called pieology It's only a few minutes away Awesome place Lots kind of like chipotle You do down the line You choose your sauce, cheese, toppings And then they bake it in 3 minutes It's awesome and a decent size pizza for $8 Thin crispy crust which is my personal favorite

Well my kid came back today
According to him he tore it up with 8 catches
He showed me one highlight of a peel back block on someone and I will admit he leveled a kid
Haven't seen the receptions yet
