I always said being a Coordinator was the perfect coaching job. What changed?

Last week I was named the Head Football Coach, after two seasons as Offensive Coordinator at the same school. And I’ve been pretty public in saying that I was not seeking that job.

How do you coach your Defensive Linemen differently when they’re playing an Inside Shade vs an Outside Shade?

You know I want to keep it simple. But playing an inside shade is not always simple for kids that work on playing an outside shade most of the time.

This question was brought up on Twitter and it’s a great one. I’ll give you some solutions for when this is your primary technique, versus when it’s just a part of a change-up front. Plus a few more considerations to think about.

What needs to be on your Offensive Play Call Sheet? Here’s my process for putting it together.

Everyone’s offensive play call sheet is a little different. Each coach has certain answers they need to see when they look down during the game.

Here’s the process I use to put together a play call sheet during the week. We start on Sunday with a big package, and then narrow it down during the week.
