Joe Daniel Football Quick Clinic

The Joe Daniel Football Quick Clinic is short, informative podcasts for American Football Coaches. I record them in the car on the way to practice, so you're not here for the audio quality. And if you're not a football coach, you probably won't like the show. Just a warning. If you are a coach... you're going to get some great ideas.

Coaches can go for years seeking any Head Football Coach job they can get. What if it’s the wrong one?

Back on the Quick Clinic Episode 120 we talked about those young coaches hungry to get their first head football coach job. Any job. And how the wrong job might set you back. For years.

That inspired one of those young coaches, looking at a potential job offer, to ask the question… is this a good head football coach job? Or is it going to set him back 10 years?

Obviously, I can’t get the definitive answer. Only time will tell. But I can point out the red flags I see. And that’s what we’re doing on this episode of the JDFB Quick Clinic.

How long should a dad coach his son in Youth Football? Here’s the not-so-harsh reality (harshly delivered).

Today’s question for the JDFB Quick Clinic is really interesting. Despite never having been in the situation, I have some pretty strong feelings. I’ve worked with a lot of coaches in this situation.

Started coaching football to help out your son’s Youth Football team? How long should you continue on? When should you let ‘more experienced’ coaches take over? That’s the discussion for this episode!

How do you watch game film as a football coach? Plenty of coaches are doing it wrong.

Learning to watch game film is a little bit like training a muscle. You’re going to have to watch a lot of film, for a long time, before you’ll start seeing everything.

You’ve probably heard not to watch football game film like a fan. Don’t just watch the ball. But if you go too far the other direction, you end up wasting a lot of time and not finding any useful information.

Is Cover 3 defense a good plan for a Bend but Don’t Break Coverage? Depends what you mean...

I really don’t like the phrase “bend but don’t break” defense. But there’s a time and a place for it!

If your defense really isn’t expected to be very good, but your offense can win you some games… this might be a good idea. And the best coverage for it, is Cover 3.

That’s a very, VERY generalized answer to this week’s answer. For the full answer, listen to this episode of The JDFB Quick Clinic!

You might have been inspired by someone who coached you hard. What about the kids don’t respond to that?

Really a great question we’re answering on this week’s Quick Clinic. It’s from a young coach who’s questioning the best way to reach the kids who don’t like to be coached hard.

There’s always the players who take the harsh criticism. They get motivated and turn out a great performance. But there’s another group of kids who will completely shut down. Let’s take a look at how you know which is which.
