Date Posted: 2008-12-12 by:  JasonHello, I live in the Los Angeles area am looking for an opportunity to get into coaching. I played football at the high school level, but not in college. I have owned a video production and post production business for the past 13 years in Hollywoood. I am hoping there is a coach in high school or a smaller college that would be interested in giving me experience on a coaching staff at any level, in exchange for me providing video and multimedia services for the team. I am very good at web, mobile, dvd video, etc. I think this is a good approach for me to enter the coaching world. I would need little or no pay (just for materials, gas, etc), but would love the opportunity to be involved and have an entry level position. Any thoughts, contacts, or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello Jason,
Feel free to contact Pete Gonzalez at St. Paul HS in Santa Fe Springs, regarding your interest in coaching. The fact that you are video guy would help us quite a bit. |

Date Posted: 2008-12-03 by: coach bannerJob opening: Central Carolina Sports Academy a post graduate program located in the Piedmont Triad (Winston-Salem/Greensboro/High Point ) North Carolina. Is launching a national search for several coaching positions :
Full time offensive line coach pay is in the low $20's. The job would be good for a young coach, a coach looking to return to school (Several Graduate school are in the area/or a person looking to work on teacher certification). Coach will have recruiting area and full time coaching duties. The coach will have contact with many of the four year programs in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virgina. There could be opportunity for added employment with camps.
Part time coaches (full duties and pay stipend depended on experience) Would be a great resume builder for a resent player who has graduated, or someone wanting to return to school.
All candidates must send in a complete resume with 3 letters of reference to coachbanner@ccsafootball.com. No phone calls. All information must be complete for consideration for interview .
For more information on the program go to www.ccsafootball.com
Thank you,

I am currently coaching at the jr. high level and have plans to move in to high school and eventually college. Does anyone have any advice on moving into the college coaching ranks. I understand that taking a GA spot is probably what I will have to do but I'm not sure how to get that ball rolling. Any advice would greatly be appreciated.

Date Posted: 2008-11-17 by: begreatWhat type of question's can you expect when intervewing for an OC position.
Reply - Date: 2008-12-29 by: Dave
The questions will obviously vary based on who is asking them. I was just involved interviewing the hiring of a new coach to our staff. One thing that we focused on was what type of offense you are looking at running and why? A common response is usually whatever best suits the talent you are given. That is true, but we are really looking at what your offensive philosophy is. Defend your philosophy and game plan. Keep in mind that there will always be a defense out there to stop it, and understand that whoever holds the pen last will always win. Know your X's and O's and you'll be fine. Good luck! |

Date Posted: 2008-09-09 by: genemulkeyCan some one send my drills or sites that discusses stopping the trap play for def. linemen. We play a shade nose and a 3 technique. Am having a toughtime getting the 3 technique to squeeze the trap and not get upfield. Any help anyone?
Reply - Date: 2008-09-23 by: scott nichols
Hopefully this will help. your 3 tech should be squeezing the guard and not allowing him to get to level 2 linebacker. if the guards eyes to inside near center. if the guard does block down or try to go to level 2 tell your 3 tech to keep eyes inside on centers but. Once he see's the backside guard / tackle appear he should "Wrong arm the trap". Using his outside arm rip across pulling G or T face to his inside hip. thus putting his helmet and body in the hole making the back bounce out of the trap hole. sn |

I am a D-line coach but have taken over the defense as coordinator. I am a little fuzzy on the reads for the outside backers and DB"s in cover 2 and 3.
For example in twins or trips does the corner read #1 or #2 receiver in cover three? This is middle school football.
Reply - Date: 2008-09-03 by: Coach Trout
Corner reads in (2): Get a jam on #1 with inside leverage so to take away the slant, and disrupt a vertical routes timing. this will take the initial stress off of the saftey who must read the mesh between #1 and #2 and be over top of any verts. In trips, if both (1 & 2 ) go vert than it is vital that the (olb) plays a "wall" technique on #2 all the way to the goal line.
Back to the Corner: Once a jam is made he must shift his eyes directly to #2 and then #3 (trips) for any out breaking routes. If smash shows, the corner must drop to a depth of about 12 yards on the nubers so to take away the corner route and then break up on the short stuff in front of him. He must not get nosey and play the hitch/out to quick or there will be a hole behind him, which will definitely put the safety in compromizing position. |

Also, I have been working to complete undergraduate degree and i will be finished in Dec '08. After i complete my degree I really want to move into coaching in a college. What would be the best way to approach this? Should I become a Graduate Assistant? or should I just apply for a assistant coach position at a d3 or d2 college?
Reply - Date: 2008-02-01 by: Tony
Coach, the question is what can you afford to do? If you become a GA, you will gain valuable experience and contacts - how ever you will be broke. If you go D-3 you will enjoy the coaching life but have to get a "REAL" job and work extremely hard to move up. In the end coaching is more about WHO you know, not WHAT you know. D-1 coaches take care of their own first before they look outside. Finally, a master's degree will allow you to be more valuable in the end. So can you afford to be broke for the next few years. In the end, will there be a D-1 job for you or will you end up as a JC assisant coach makeing $3000 per season? |

Hello coach,
I am no sure what type of offense your team runs. But at my high school we have incorporated the spread offense into our program. The spread is very easy to learn for lineman, and skill positions. The spread can put up major numbers on the scoreboard. Thusly, it will intice more students to come out to the team. When our coach staff first started 5 years ago here we had 49 students in our program. Next year, we are plan on having 110 students in our program. Our school is not big about 600 boys throughout the school. But the chance of scoring points makes those students that are on the fence want to join. |

Coach,
I once took over a program that was 0-42 in its first six seasons that had not scored an offensive touchdown in two years. Great kids and the toughest I have ever seen on a ball field. We got that team to 3-3 the first season. There is a huge problem in coaching today whereby we take any kid that wants to play. Bad grades, fine. Skips classes, fine. You have a golden opportunity and in my humble opinion, you have one chance to get on the right path. Set the bar high, make the work difficult. Inisist on good grades, community service, and self-discipline. Any coach can discipline a player, but I have seen precious few that can instill self-discipline. Send me an email and I will send you the team creed I developed to set the standard to be a part of my team. I promise you will take a beating from parents and even from fellow coaches for about six months and then it will all come together. Make your program one that is a privledge to participate in. Football is not a right of school kids. There is one caveat, if you are not willing to set the standard and insist that every coach does the same, then do not even bother. Kids will spot a fake effort every time. BTW, the team I turned around is back to 0-6 since I left. I do not say this to boast, I say it because a team culture can vanish in a single season. Write me back at my email address. I would love to talk to you. |

The blocks are: Check, Cut-Off, Double Team, Dropback Pass, Hinge Pass, Reach, Turnback Pass, Down, Base, Influence, Zone, Intside, Out, Trey and Veer...if i could understand these types of blocks better i will be able to undertsand what he's saying for the DL section. thanks in advance

I'm a currently residing in Canada. I'm looking to for an opportunity as a coach overseas 1st and possibly North America.
If anyone has any relevant info, would be much appreciated.
I have extensive Player experience, Offensive coaching experience( Wide receiver and defensive back coaching expereice as well. I'm also a Strenght and speed conditioning coach.
I also ran track and field at the Olympic level, 60m and 100m.
I bring an-all-in-one structure, football toughness, mental toughness, tricks of the trade and Olympic level conditioning. And hopefully a system if needed.
I'm more interested in a challenge and not an established championship team. Prefrrrably a team that's truly hungry to play in the big show and has a system that gears toward the success.
I have helped 5 teams reach the playoffs for their 1st time as a player and a coach. The last one being Cinneplex Blue Devils (Div 1Austria) and Stockholm Mean Machines (Div 1 Sweden) previous
I'm a hands-on type of coach, I like to demonstrate on the field 1st the techiques, with game speed so the players have a better understanding what's expected form them.
My phiosophy is Technique, Technique and Techinique followed by commitment.
Bio and CV available upon request.
Cheers in advance

Date Posted: 2007-11-05 by: JasonHi coaches. I have had a growing interest in the 4-2-5 defense. I believe in the even front because
1) I feel it is easier for a DL to take on 1/2 of an offensive lineman rather than line head and have to depend on two-gapping or slanting and angling.
2) The idea of having to rely on a MLB that can run sideline to sideline is hard to find year in and year out.
3) You can run several different coverages without having to telegraph to the offense what coverage you are running by alignment.
I know there is no perfect defense, but I believe that this is one that can give an edge to my defense
thanks

Reply - Date: 2008-09-11 by: Neil
Tell your players that it takes eleven men for a defense to be effective. Many times we have eleven individuals running around ALL trying to make the tackle. Tell your kids to know thier role.
To help with outside contain, I run "outside run" drills. I set up a half field with one MLB one OLB one saftey and a corner. I use TE or a slot rec, a rec, a TE, and the QB FB TB, and run options and sweeps at those players.
During this you can really show your OLB's how to keep outside contain and funnel the runner back to pursuit. Too often the OLB screams in and wants to make the play. Sometimes he needs to just fight to stay outside and funnel the runner back to the MLB and the Saftey that is coming down hill on the fill. You can also show your MLB and safties how important thier role is in inside out filling and not overrunning the play.
Of course different D's have different contain players on the option, we run a 3-4 with our sam in a 9 tech. So our OLB's have outside contain.
Also, you need to establish who takes the qb and who takes the pitch man. This varies with the Defensive front and with the play call.
Hope this helps. |

Reply - Date: 2007-10-08 by: Daniel Kennamore
yeah, get out of a 3 man front against the wishbone. They are going to track block flying off the ball. So, no way to twist or X-stunt. Bring your outside backers into the C-gaps with your corners handling the outside and TEs man to man. Fire through knees with the 5 guys on the line. Have your middle backer key the full back and blow him up every single play. The remaining linebackers cross key the half-backs for the first step and go into a fit-flow type technique for taking up any remaining gaps. |

Date Posted: 2007-08-11 by: djmIf you are running wingT then I would suggest you spend your time on wingT blocking rules. Zone blocking looks easy, but it takes as much practice time as any trapping/G scheme to do it well. My experience has been at the HS level. Teams that don't have big athletic lineman need good angles and deception ...AKA wing T, single Wing, double wing.

You should contact Bill Zwaan at West Chester University. They have been running the wing-t with a belly zone scheme. |

Date Posted: 2007-07-22 by: Coach CramerWe're running a Wing-T offense at the middle school I help out with. The problem I've come across is that we don't have incredibly athletic offensive linemen and we're having trouble with the traps and pulls because they can't get where they need to be quick enough. At their age, they want the football to be fun and not work like high school, so they're hesitant to really spend a lot of time memorizing their blocking rules and assignments. I realize they NEED to really work at it to be good, but I'm not convinced they will do it.
I'm thinking of suggesting a switch to a zone blocking system. I don't want to get into a lot of the real sophisticated stuff, just the basic zone blocking concept. I think our boys would enjoy how simple a concept it is and respond to it.
Does anyone know of any good drills that will help me implement this scheme. My e-mail is cramer.william@gmail.com. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Date Posted: 2007-07-21 by: Coach CramerI'm glad someone asked that question because I was going to start a similar topic. I too would like to use zone blocking for our middle school Wing-T offense.
We're not overly strong on the offensive line. We have smart and athletic guys. To me, we are perfect candidates for zone blocking. I think if I break it down real simple for my kids (ages 13-15), they will understand it. RIght now, with the blocking scheme we are using, the kids get numbers and assignments mixed up and our offense hasn't been real effective.
Does anyone think the zone blocking has a realistic chance of working? The biggest thing I'm worried about is our guys making decisions mid play about who to block and some defender going free. Any advice on how to really drill it into their brains on how to implement this blocking scheme effectively?
Thanks.

Coach,
I coach the middle school level ( 7,8,9 )in Pennsylvania and we run the wing t. I think that you just need to be patient. Do you seperate the centers & gaurds from the tackles and tight ends to work on the blocking schemes for the sweeps & traps? While the tackles and tight ends work on the down blocks. Also run put in the Jet sweep and the Rocket, these are simple reach blocks for everyone except the tackle. He actually pulls outside and this is a easy block for him and it is pretty close to zone blocking. I don't think that zone blocking is the ansewer because they have to be able to read and react on the move!!

The Zone scheme is good when you are good at it. It takes a very long time to get right, especially for younger kids. The best thing you can do for your guys is create angles for them. The Zone scheme is easy to remember, but can be difficult to execute, especially with combo blocks, pulling guards, tackles, etc. |

Date Posted: 2007-06-22 by: BobI am a Pop warner midget level coach. Our CB's when playing man to man are often run out of a play to their side (sweep) by the WR on runs a deep fly route. Any thoughts how the CB can make the run read quicker (vs. pass) to attack a sweep to his side closer to the LOS?
Reply - Date: 2007-06-27 by: Dan
Bob,
I would line your corners up 5 yards deep on inside eye of outside man at a 45 degree angle. This way your corner can read the o- tackle. If the OT fires out have him step up in run support, if he sits back or stands up have him backpeddle with his man in coverage. This will work 9 times out of ten, every once in awhile a crafty coach will have the lineman fire out on a pass play in some type of slide protection or zone blocking scheme but not often at that level.

Use "loose man tech"-jam w/outside hand, check ol, plant & attack if run-outside in; full speed crossover -no backpedal-if pass=squeeze the rec to the sideline/read qb Also blitz the edge to help vs sweep, pitch, reverse,etc. Alignment depends on wr split,
hash marks, boundary but start 7 yds off los

Date Posted: 2007-05-23 by: Matthew LynchCoaches, I am a new head coach starting my first summer program. I am very excited. Furthermore, I am a very organized person. Therefore, by any chance does anyone have a pro-game warm-up routine they would like to share? I have been apart of several routines over the years and I have yet to find the one I truly like.
Thank You

Date Posted: 2007-03-05 by: Jon HemenwayI am a high school football coach, coaching the OL and the DL. We run the wing-t offense and I was wondering if zone blocking is better then teaching all the rules associated with the wing-t. Which do most coaches lean towards?
Reply - Date: 2007-04-12 by: Pat V
Well in you should set up a general man blocking scheme to begin with. then mix in some zone plays as a trump card. |
Reply - Date: 2007-04-24 by: Kurt Clemens
Part of the appeal of Wing-T is the blocking schemes and angles that the blocking schemes take advantage of as well as false keys and misdirection. The schemes are complicated and as a coach you must teach multiple skills or techniques. I think the extra time teaching techniques pays off. One short cut is if you flip-flop your offensive line. This will cut down your teaching time with schemes. Without the down blocks and pulling guards the Wing-T is not really the Wing-T. The advantage of Zone blocking is that you only need to teach a minimal number of techniques and minimal schemes. |

Date Posted: 2007-02-27 by: Brad BowdenI am looking for any coaches that have experience with the 46 defense. Any one out there running this as a base or even as a changeup? Would love to talk to you.
Reply - Date: 2007-09-17 by: Mark Aguilar
Coach,
I don't have experience running the 46 but I've read the Ryan book about 3 times and think I understand it reasonably well. A local team runs it and I watched them last week-great pressure on the running game and in passing siutations. I hope to run it someday, and wouldn't mind getting your thoughts on it. I'm really interested in any success or lack therof against an empty backfield. |

I have run the 46 defense as well as the double eagle flex (the university of arizona's) desert swarm defense) with the tucson blaze semi-pro team and lead our league in total defense as well as scoring defense. I may be able to give you some ideas. |

coach im a pop warner coach and im running the 46 deffense for the last two season i would be glad to talk about it anytime we are 4-0this season and have a score on defense almost every week |

Date Posted: 2007-02-09 by: Coach NickCoach, if you plan to play the DE in a 9 technique (outside shade on the TE) it is likely that the DE will have a C or D gap responsibility base on the block or release of the Tight End. The most important thing for a stand-up DE is a 1 on1 key/reaction drill against a TE. He needs to read the hat of the TE and react to a Down Block, Reach or Hook Block, Base Block and an Outside Release. He needs to master the reactions to these blocks according to your scheme. If he gets a Down block, you can add a FB kickout or a kickout from a Guard. Your scheme will dictate how the blocks are played. Contact me directly for more details.

Date Posted: 2007-01-16 by: craigI am wanting to start a career in coaching football. i have read up on various formations , I would like to know the best way to start, i dont know where i can go to find clinics on football, and high school coaching.
Reply - Date: 2007-01-16 by: Greg Shamas
Craig,
Check your local paper on the day the prep section comes out in the games and jobs needed section of the sports page. Also go to your states Athletic Association web site for football job postings. Nike and Glazier clinics are good ones to start out with. You can also look into AFCA, but their clinic just passed. |
Reply - Date: 2007-01-26 by: Andrew Krause
High schools always need coaches. You may have to start as a volunteer, we pretty much all did! You can start your learning process under a head coach there. |

I would like your list of playbooks. I don't know if I have any you would like. I have mostly spread option stuff. I have Georgia Southern's spread option back when Johnson was there, and I have The Universityn of the South's Spread Option. |

Date Posted: 2006-10-26 by: Coach CramerI was recently asked by the local middle school coach to help him out some. He asked if I could help him by coaching defensive ends and tight ends. At the high school level, I coach DBs. I'm thinking of changing our defensive sceme and going to Standing DEnds. We have pretty good quickness on the ends and I think they could get upfield and seal off the outsides and force everything to our LBs. Since this is my first time with just DEs and TEs, I'm trying to find drills that are proven and work. Anything would help. Thanks guys.

Coach Cramer,
I see that you are having as much difficulty as I am in finding solid information on Stand Up DE's (STUD'S). We stood up our DE's last year with more success than was anticipated. I feel that the DE's should not get up field but be able to handle the C or D gap ( weak or strong) and be able to not let anything outside of them. Great footwork is imperative, therefore we worked with bags on the g |

it takes a better athlete to play a down de. put your stand up in an outside shade and havehim attack the te. try to teach him to widen gradually inside of going upfield quickly.allows lb time to get there |

Reply - Date: 2007-01-28 by: MILES
have your inside reciever(TE or slot) do a wheel and out then have your WR do a Five yrd post and settle. works in cover 1,2,3 |

Date Posted: 2008-12-29 by: DaveI am a head jv football coach and I am trying to find a way to make some of my players tougher, or at least less timid. I know if there was one solution for this, whoever thought of it would be a millionaire by now, but I was wondering if any of you had any suggestions. One thing that I thought of was adding some work on a boxing heavy bag during weight room sessions. My thinking is that striking the bag might help them get over the hurdle of timidness, and make them more physical and apt to strike the opponent lined up across from them during the season. Has anyone utilized this before? Are there any other suggestions? Anything you have would be greatly appreciated.

Date Posted: 2008-12-21 by: curtisWe run a 4-3 defense. My question regards triple option responsibility. We have always had the tackles assigned to dive, ends on QB and OLB's take the pitch. MLB plays dive to QB to pitch. We play a lot of cover 2 so the corners are also there to force on pitch. We will also run a stunt off the edge to switch the QB & pitch assignements and create confusion.
Who agrees and disagrees and why?
Reply - Date: 2009-01-01 by: Coach P
The 4-3 can definately defend the triple option in the way you describe. Twisting the tackles with linebackers also creates read confusion. The problem is that a good veer team would run mid-line against the 4-3. Blocking the MLB, PSLB, and DE and reading the tackle. It is a double option that is very good against the 4-3. |

Date Posted: 2008-11-17 by: LukeDoes anyone have any advice for me on how to get into coaching? I have no direct experience as I went the Finance route after college, but I am a very fast learner and love the game. I am willing to give up a great career to do something I love - I just don't know how to go about making the transition. I'm used to working 100+ hour weeks and was a Varsity athlete in High School (baseball). I have a MS in Finance and work at a top hedge fund (which I realize is completely unrelated, but should somewhat exemplify my work ethic). If anyone has any suggestions on how to get started, they would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Congrats in your decision. I did the same thing 5 months ago and it has been the greatest decision I have ever made. First off start identifying anyone you know that is a teacher or coach. This is a profession of who you know not what you know. Next, start working on your teachers certification. My experience has been that you pretty much have to start out at the Jr. High level first and work your way up. Next start sending and posting your resume to every available school district. Remember, do not hold out for the perfect job and take something as soon as possible to get your foot in the door. Feel free to email with any questions!! Good Luck! |
Reply - Date: 2008-12-29 by: Dave
are you looking to become a teacher, or just coach? I started out coaching football and then eventually became a teacher. However, that does not have to be the case. Find a local high school and look into being a volunteer coach. That is the way that I started out, and then after a year i got hired on the staff officially. It may stink putting in so much time and not seeing a paycheck, but you will get some of the most valuable experience that way. It will open up so many more doors for you. Good luck! |

Reply - Date: 2008-11-29 by: Rod
REPETITION REPETITION REPETITION!! The snap is the last thing you need to be thinking about and needs to be a fluid motion. My suggestion is to always work with a ball when performing your normal drills. |

Date Posted: 2008-07-12 by: KevinHello, My name is Kevin, I am a coach here in south florida, I coach JV and a 13 yr old youth team. I have been using and studying the 3-3-5 for about 4 yrs now and have built up a collection of good playbooks for this defense. If anyone would like a copy any let me know. I have been running this at both levels for 4 years now and it has been tremendous for me and my players. I would enjoy talking with fellow coaches who also run it or would like to.
