Diving back into the Mailbag Questions this week for topics including defending Wing-T and setting the defensive strength.

Time to get back to the mailbag for questions that aren’t quite in-depth enough for a full episode. These go all the way back to January 2019, and there’s some good questions!

We’ll talk about defending the Wing-T with the Under Front. And how to get to an under front in the 4-2-5 Defense. Plus a look at setting the strength of your backfield, and more.

Fundraising is a critical part of running a football program. Here’s a plan for a long-term fundraiser using email.

A few months back on a podcast with Ron McKie, we talked about some out-of-the-box ideas for fundraising in our episode on leveling up your football team’s off-season. One that I’ve been getting a lot of questions about was the email fundraiser.

On this episode of the JDFB Quick Clinic, I’ll talk about the basics. The shell of the plan. It’s not the ‘holding your hand’ step-by-step guide. But if you have the motivation to put it together, you can get a start with this episode.

You put your time in. Now you’re moving up to the big show! Don’t worry, it’s not as hard as it seems.

Great question on this week’s JDFB Quick Clinic, and one I hear a lot. You’ve put your time in at the Youth, Middle School, Freshman or JV levels… now you’re moving up. Moving up to the Varsity team. 

And there’s some nerves. Some concern about whether you are really ‘ready’ for it. Or at least, you don’t know what to expect. How different will it be with the big kids?

Not that different. In fact, the more you treat your guys the same… the better it should go.

You know something is not right. This is not the job for you. How do you know the right time to look for a new team?

Know when to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘em. Kenny Rogers was right. Or The Gambler. Someone knew what they were talking about. Knowing when to walk away is tough.

How do you know you’re on the wrong staff, or in the wrong situation? When is it time to start looking for your next job? And where do the players figure into all this? 

Tough question. I’ll try to answer it on this episode of the JDFB Quick Clinic.
