High School New & Notes


Spotlight

Special Delivery: Pete Rodriguez
- Pundits always argue that special teams play can make the difference in any game. Yet, when it comes time to hire a head coach, owners and general managers seldom look to special teams coordinators. Seattle's Pete Rodriguez is one the best in the history of the NFL and he wants his own team.
By Brent Schrotenboer

NFL Hot Coaches for 2001
- As surely as fall turns into winter, NFL coaches will begin to drop like leaves as reality of the season replaces hopes and expectation. This is the annual look by The Professional Services Group at the next crop of NFL head coaches.
By AFM Research Staff

Capitol Will
- Few coaches possess the inner-drive and dogmatic personality of new Redskins headman Marty Schottenheimer, and he is absolutely determined to instill his work ethic into his new team.
By Michael Richman

On a Mission
- After a 31-year wait, Maryland coach Ralph Friedgen is convinced he can take his alma mater to the top of the ACC mountain.
By Michael Richman

Class of 2001
- This look at the latest batch of college and NFL coaches provides an interesting examination of this group of both returnees and newcomers.
By Steve Silverman

State of Emergence
- In Oregon, one of the least likely of all places, college football is now being played at a level that leaves most of the rest of the nation in serious envy. Mike Bellotti and Dennis Erickson have the Duck and Beaver faithful expecting big things.
By Ron Bellamy

The Clemson Zone Combo Package
-Over the past two seasons, few teams have placed fear in their opponents' hearts quite like the Clemson Tigers. This article looks at one set of plays, a four-play combo package that has accounted for a great deal of production in Clemson's fast-paced attack.
By John Turner, Offensive Assistant, Clemson

Multiple Looks Create Havoc
- By incorporating multiple fronts and rush schemes, a defense can create serious match up problems for an offense. Arkansas-Monticello uses a number of looks derived from a few base fronts to win with less than All-American talent.
By Clarence Holley, Head Coach, Arkansas at Monticello

Play Action for the Big Play
- The play-action pass can be just the thing offenses need to gain an advantage on the defense. Jones Junior College uses this diversionary tactic as an integral part of their offensive philosophy.
By Ed Smith, QB/WR coach, Jones County (Miss.) Junior College
