Hey WR coaches...those cone drills cool and all...but sometimes, you gotta put the ball in the bag and get them boys stalk blocking! I know that's not cool to say anymore, but a WR that can stalk is dangerous!

If your Head Coach isnt providing you opportunities to prepare for your next job, you might not want to be there...should have a culture of NO LATERAL moves...if you have coaches leaving your program for an equal or a lower job title...thats a problem on you as an HC!

Instead of yelling at a kid for acting a fool at an improper time, I walked over to him and said "If you knew how good you could be, you wouldn't act the way you do" and walked away...that did more than any yelling would have done...find different ways to reach kids!

Coaches talk about not finding young coaches on their staff, but it's important to note that while coaches think that assistants only want titles, a lot of coaches see control freak HCs who don't want to help grow young coaches and don't value their opinion..it's a two way street

There are good and bad football teams at majority white high schools. There are good and bad football teams at majority black high schools. Why is it only the good teams at majority white HS's are "well coached"? Stop the narrative that only certain HSs can have good coaching!
