Jerry campbell
Doesn't matter the topic or if it's relevant to your current O or D The man is a speaker So much energy and passion
No dozing off or texting during this one though He is all over his audience so you better pay attention
You'll exit the room a better human being I heard him last year in reno Didn't borrow anything from him in terms of Xs and Os but took away some things from HOW he coaches

Every district here checks fingerprints and you go through a background check before you're cleared to coach
I assumed this would be common everywhere

Never had this issue actually Normally track wants our FB kids I generally prefer FB kids to do track but our program has been bad here for a while. 2 years ago I tried making all FB kids do track but it didn't work out great and I told them they could continue just lifting with me. If it was a little more organized here Id be a little more supportive
I've probably only seen 1 kid in 9 years who was really fast, who didn't already play football
Each year he "talked" about coming out But I never put any stock into it. He was tiny, and you could just see the fear in his eyes
Would've probably been a stud in PE flag football tho

While they don't have to (I've had mutual hate for a select few over 9 years)
A kid plays a lot better when he starts playing "for you"

Coaches do you have any tools that help you with these aspects. I have heard several people talk about how they track student grades, lifting, community service and other sports. How do you get it done in a timely manner? I teach 6 periods, am in the weight room at zero hour, lead the leadership program, coach track & field, advise an academic club, have three kids grades 2, 4 & 6. Delegate? and quit advisory position? Just wrote a blog post on how I track off season attendance I also I putted every kid who signed up into my school loop tracker (school loop is our online grade book system) So I have them in a database I can check through any time

I think that I saw on here that some schools/states require that football coaches take certification courses in order to be able to be hired/coach football. Do any of you guys have to have this in order to coach? Our district is pushing for this from us coaches and we are using the NFHS platform as the tool our certification. What is your take on this? in CA (or at least my section) there is a coaching principles class you have to do through NFHS -offered online now, when i first started you had to take an actual class with someone for a whole day, then do the test. Now it is all easy online... that is how you know I am old now) we also now have to do a "concussion" training test (last 2 years i think)... same thing, all online, this one is free, and takes about 20 minutes... our district last year implemented coaches needed a "mandatory child abuse reporter" training... they weren't super strict on this, because a few missed the training and the district just said to please do it next time it was offered i get this as part of our yearly teacher staff development day so i didnt have to attend this saturday training, but our HC went (he is off campus)

Damn Bdud that is "Provocative Spread" While I agree with most of what Duece is saying here, in particular the search function, I believe it is important to remember that men that are new to coaching football are also members of the site. When I first starting coaching I was quite sure there was a new "Best" offense that was going to help us win. You can imagine how bad the results were. So while some of us have done this long enough to know there is no "Best" answer to those type questions I always try to remember that I was there once. As I finished typing I saw an advertisement for the "Nzone System" do you think that would be "Best" for our situation? That could stick. Brand that shyt. We run the Provocative Spread. Man there could be some great logos for a t shirt. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using proboards It's been in my signature for over a year I think

Sending out an email to everyone who has given me info... looking at going either Sunday night at a location TBD or Monday night... I'm thinking Sunday night because that will interfere with the least amount of other things going on with the convention I believe. I know that footballscoop is having social in the early evening on Monday and we could go after that if we want to. I'm down for whatever, but let's set it and I'll find a place once i get down there. Anyone have a suggestion? I am known to drink the whiskey and the scotch on a semi-regular basis, so anywhere for a cheap glass of those is good with me. Not sure if I will be there or not (just down the road in KY about 50 miles from downtown Louisville)...like DC, I'll be missing 2-3 more days for some Glazier Clinics this offseason (and, had to take two this week to stay home with our little girls), but if you go out, head to the BBC (Bluegrass Brewing Company). It's downtown, right across the from Yum Center (Louisville's basketball arena). Heck of a brewery. They have some Bourbon Barrel variations that are out of this flipping world...across from it and on the same side as the Yum is a Bearno's Pizza-Pub All kinds of choices, obviously, but for in the area of the convention, those are close and good. If it's Saturday night when you all go out, head down 4th Street...all kinds of Pubs/Bars/Clubs (4th Street Live as it's called). Again, all of these are downtown and really close to the convention. NOBODY Google BBC

Be a raider fan like me... You never have to worry about bashing others because "we" never win lol And your most hated team is the Patriots for the Tuck Rule Snow Game? I live in N.E. and haven't been a Pats fan since 03'. It's because of idiotic fans around here that I despise them now. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using proboards my most hated team is the 49ers because 90% of their current fan base is annoying and fake patriots used to be up there when i was younger, but the hatred has faded to just not caring either way about them

If a kid or person goes or went to the school then I completely understand the "WE" mentality. Even in the NFL, if you're from Cincinnati or know someone on the team, then I can accept "WE" but just like all the non-athletes who are now super fitness/crossfit/weight lifting experts at the gym as adults...how about you just STFU and do what you do without being obnoxious about it. Being from Ohio, I like the Buckeyes (per state law) it's Buckeye Nation that I hate. I almost got in a fight about 2 years ago with a teacher at school. HE went to a D3 school but was a buckeye fan, a lady went to Miami of Ohio and of course OSU was playing Miami...he was talking chit going in to that saturday, of course OSU won and Monday he was so obnoxious talking chit I just couldn't take it anymore I had to say something. If you went to the school then fine, I get it. If you didn't... I phuking hate buckeye nation. Most obnoxious a$$hats in the country. Hear this all the time on Mondays. Fans bragging about their team winning and bashing fans of the other team like somehow they are the better person, fan, or have more football knowledge than them....so what did you do to help them win? Sit on your coach drinking a beer with crumbs all over you? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using proboards Be a raider fan like me... You never have to worry about bashing others because "we" never win lol

Not amazed by speakers overall but HC will buy the staff pass and I live very close so it is convenient
I don't even remember what jerry campbell is talking about but if you've never met Jerry You need to go listen to him speak One of the best speakers I have ever heard Heard him up in reno last year I went to something totally unrelated to anything we do offensively but I got more from him than anyone else Pay attention He will be all over you if you think you can go there and sleep off the hangover from the night before

we have a program here called cyber high, I am sure other's have it i teach one period of it currently, i love it as a teacher because there isnt a whole lot of work for me it is self paced, they click their the material, take quizzes, i unlock their finals... they pass all 5 finals, they get their 5 credits it is a way for kids to make up credits to graduate it is good for the losers who need to makeup a lot of work but i wish it were more paced, any kid who tries can get 2 classes done in 1 semester, i had a few do 3, and one girl make up 4 classes this semester... but some kids are lazy and didnt even finish one whole class... i can't make them do work another issue i have with it is, is our counselors think it is the best thing and push kids into it, the only problem is no athlete can take it, while the CSU/UC system accept the classes for their A-G requirements, NCAA does not recognize it as a real class... so even if an athlete got accepted into a college, they would not be eligible to receive any NCAA scholarship money because technically they did not met the 16 core class requirements we have a PITA WR who thinks he is an all state player (THINKS) he tells everyone he is going D-1, and he is too good for JuCo, i keep trying to tell him the cyber high classes he made up last year to replace F's he got as a sophomore, automatically make him ineligible to be a NCAA kid, and he has to go JC route (NAIA might accept cyber high not sure) I have had to go into counselors office and demand schedule changes for a couple of our kids who do have NCAA potential, before they take a class they can't use We have what's called "GAP." It's basically the same thing. I hate it. The problem with GAP is that it's all about passing multiple choice quizzes. A kid flunks the quiz, he can just go back, see the answers he missed, and blindly click through until he gets a passing combo. For a kid who puts any effort, he can usually make up a class in about a week. It's not uncommon for a kid to make up a class in 15 minutes at times. We had one kid last year make up 3 classes in under an hour. We use it to keep the graduation rate high, but the problem is that all the kids have it in their heads that it doesn't matter if they do absolutely nothing in class because they can always just retake it in GAP and knock it out in a few days with no homework. A lot of our players are in there over the summer knocking out 3 or 4 classes in a few days to become eligible for the season. Wow we need gap here We'd never have an ineligible kid again Is it approved for college:ncaa? Doesn't sound like it would be

What about making high schools more of a virtual classroom? Kind of like colleges. Kids who have to work can...but have to take classes at other times or online. I know this would jack up athletics...but provide students (and teachers) different ways to skin the cat. Have a {censored} teacher? Let them work from home and teach a virtual class. I don't have the answer on how to make all that work...but like DC says...Algebra is Algebra...it's just how it's delivered. I could really get into working from home. Kids log in...you teach your class from your home office. Schools done...head to school for football practice. That'd be a fun gig. we have a program here called cyber high, I am sure other's have it i teach one period of it currently, i love it as a teacher because there isnt a whole lot of work for me it is self paced, they click their the material, take quizzes, i unlock their finals... they pass all 5 finals, they get their 5 credits it is a way for kids to make up credits to graduate it is good for the losers who need to makeup a lot of work but i wish it were more paced, any kid who tries can get 2 classes done in 1 semester, i had a few do 3, and one girl make up 4 classes this semester... but some kids are lazy and didnt even finish one whole class... i can't make them do work another issue i have with it is, is our counselors think it is the best thing and push kids into it, the only problem is no athlete can take it, while the CSU/UC system accept the classes for their A-G requirements, NCAA does not recognize it as a real class... so even if an athlete got accepted into a college, they would not be eligible to receive any NCAA scholarship money because technically they did not met the 16 core class requirements we have a PITA WR who thinks he is an all state player (THINKS) he tells everyone he is going D-1, and he is too good for JuCo, i keep trying to tell him the cyber high classes he made up last year to replace F's he got as a sophomore, automatically make him ineligible to be a NCAA kid, and he has to go JC route (NAIA might accept cyber high not sure) I have had to go into counselors office and demand schedule changes for a couple of our kids who do have NCAA potential, before they take a class they can't use

How do you get "guaranteed employment"? Isn't that the knock against tenure? Also, how often does anyone in the primary education profession get a $100k job offer? I think your buddy was nuts to turn that down. well nothing in life is guaranteed but it is hard to fire a public school teacher 100k might have been a little exaggerated but this school wanted to be really good at football, and threw a big number at him to try to land him

So if someone were going to look at getting into the profession, would you say a private or chartered school would be better than public? Duece The problem with that is you lose out on the union protection and security blanket you get with a being in the public school system employment isn't guaranteed with tenure benefits won't be as good retirement most likely won't exist and if it is won't be able to compare to what a public school teacher would get i think the PERFECT private or charter school would be good to work at, because you could succeed in football every year. Really good private schools that put football first have a lot of advantages over public schools... you see in many states the privates winning championships, even here in CA with some of the giant schools, many times it is the private schools who win state (De La Salle for example) The right charter school would be nice, because you still teach at a public school, so i think the years still count toward your retirement, but that principal would really have to want you to give you pay close to other districts. It has worked well for Murphy, his school is a charter now and they are able to take in any kid they really want from our county, or any county touching our county... and they don't have to pay a tuition. But he was such a name before getting there, I think they would compensate him well. I had a buddy who was a VERY successful coach/teacher at a public school here. He got offered 100k a year to move to a private school in Sac, be the HC, teach only football weight lifting classes, and be the AD. It was a sweet offer, but in the end he decided to turn it down, decided it wasn't worth it when looking at the bigger picture of his life and family's financial security. If he didn't win they'd fire him whenever they felt like it and he just lost out on some retirement years and lost his guaranteed employment in his current district

Part of the reason many quit early on is because the starting pay pretty much sucks
They aren't patient enough to see how their salary will more than double in many districts from initial salary to when you Max it out via years and credits
Just something to consider

What was really weird was at The Zoo kids would wear shorts OVER their practice pants, just as a fashion statement. Didn't bother me on a rational level but irritated the hell out of me for some reason. We have players do this in Utah. They're called polynesians. Polynesians are big and mean, and can pull off many fashion statements that men like you and me could never even attempt. Nobody even chuckles when a polynesian does this. do your Poly kids cut the very ends of their shirts, and sometimes shorts so they have all these little dangly things fraying from the bottom nearly every Poly kid I have ever coached does this and I have never understood why

We use the seven pad integrated pants as our practice and game pants. The only issue has been that we have had white pants as our practice and game pants which tend to show their age very quickly. This year we will buy navy pants as well eyes try to get a set of white integrated pants just for games This has completely changed the storage and logistics for our football program now we no longer have 1 million loose pads laying around we no longer have to order girdles every year it allows us to buy more stuff for the kids Yes we keep all of the pants year in and year out I've seen the integrated pants, but never seen a pair i like enough to wear for games, they all feel cheap to me, and we have 2 sets of pretty nice game pants i've seen 7 pad girdles online , and 2 kids on our team bought their own and wore them (nike) and they just slid their game pants on over them

Wanna do them as a spirit pack add on
Most kids by their own It's so much easier to buy your own No funkyness No losing pads It's just one piece and they are much lighter and more comfortable than a girdle with leg pads
Would love a suggestion of anyone found a good bulk deal
I've seen 7 pad ones online but feel they'd be awkward for kids who are really short

Just for curiosity sake, cdud are you still having a camp? If I remember right, that was a big fund raiser for you. I can't say 100% until CIF releases their official statement which we are supposed to get in January Now, the way I've seen the law written I fully believe I will be able to have my camp But only 2 days instead of 3 Less contact time (90 minutes total) And it will likely have to be first week of August , depends when CIF defines the start of our season Can use pads in pre season which is 30 days prior to start of regular season If they use first gamers start it'll be first week of August If they use scrimmage as start it'll be last week of July If they use what our section has used in past, usually a Monday in early August to designate the start of football season it'll be sooner than that My guess is we will get a set date like no pads until August 1 or something like that Hopefully we get our fact sheet soon
