Wednesday, September 10th, 2008So your team started off on a bad foot. So what! Lets turn it around.
Probably the hardest thing to do in sports is to turn around a losing streak. It is even harder when that losing streak happens in the beginning of the season. So what are you going to do about it?
That’s right. It [...]

TechnoratiHeart Guts and Playing for Glory
Monday, August 25th, 2008
I can’t stand when coaches say players need to play with heart. What is that exactly. They need heart to play better? Do they need to play from the heart? I just don’t get it.
I prefer to say that teams and players need to play with guts and play for glory.
Playing with guts simply [...]
How to Defend the Spread
Saturday, August 2nd, 2008What is the best way to defend the Spread Offense? Athlete to Athlete? I don’t think that is a very effective way to defend the Spread. It seems that there is a lot of talk about matching up athletes to defeat the spread. With a good O coordinator I think it makes it easier for [...]

Playoff Time
Thursday, November 8th, 2007Sorry it has been a while since the last post but it is Playoff time. I was just talking with Coach P about how great it is to be playing in November. It is just a great time of year. The air is cold and crisp, the days are short. We even have to practice [...]
Cover 2 Shell
Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007I heard a commentator use this term this weekend and it struck me that not everyone who was watching would know what this means.
A Cover 2 Shell is a defensive coverage using maximum coverage underneath, or for the shorter routs, with two safeties helping on the deep halves of the field.
A Cover 2 Shell is [...]
Being In Control
Tuesday, October 16th, 2007We have had two really big games in a row and are now tied for first in our Region. In these two games there was about 5 minutes that were pivotal to winning the game. The crowd was screaming, the players were yelling and jumping around, the cheer leaders were cheering, the band was playing, [...]
Give Your Players a Job
Saturday, October 6th, 2007Teach everyone a job, and then let them play. Doing this lets your players think less, and play more.
There is no need for the linebacker to know what the cornerback is doing. It only has him worried about things that he does not need to be worried about. The linebacker should only be worried about [...]
Do What You Are Good At
Thursday, October 4th, 2007It is frustrating as a coach when you have a good play but your team just can’t run it right. You know it will work, but for some reason it just does not. We have a play right now that we can only run to the left. It does not matter who the lineman or [...]
