High School Notes


Spotlight

Mickey Andrews' Secret
- Florida State's longtime defensive coordinator is known as an aggressive, no-holes-barred coach. But some of his closest allies and longest rivals say he also has a kinder, gentler side.
by Jane Musgrave

The Look
- Football players at Robert E. Lee High School in Midland, Texas don't have to wonder what coach John Parchman is thinking. He tells them with his infamous look. "You have to coach by looking people in the eye," Parchman explains. And a glance at his record shows the look is paying off.
by Brent Schrotenboer

Hiring the Enemy
- Fans often cry traitor, or worse, when a coach from a rival school is hired. For that reason and others, hiring or being hired by former enemies is a dicey proposition. But, often, it's the right move for all involved, including the fans, whether they know it or not.
by Richard Scott

So Sue Me
- Georgia Tech head coach George O'Leary found himself in hot water earlier this year when a player's mother threatened legal action after her son was roughed up in practice. Clearly, the world of college football coaching has changed since the days of Paul "Bear" Bryant. What are today's coaches to do to build tough teams without being sued?

A Leg Up?
- Duke University learned a $2 million lesson about how to deal with women who want to play football. As more women take to the gridiron, coaches should learn the same lesson so their education doesn't come at such a high cost.

Quarterbacking the Quarterback

by Doug Martin, offensive coordinator, East Carolina University.

Dashing the Defense
- The University of New Mexico has figured out a way to give its quarterbacks more time as those ever-quickening defensemen rush in.
by Dan Dodd, offensive coordinator, University of New Mexico

Voodoo Magic
- Baffled by the spread attack? Eastern Oregon has a plan that helps smear the spread.
by Rob Cushman, head coach, Eastern Oregon University.
