Philosophy

Coaching Philosophy

As a Head Coach I am willing to find ways to serve my team, my school and my
community. I will do what I can do to help the people I serve to be their best. As a coach
I have a great opportunity to teach young men to be great leaders by modeling service
to others. You win with people. Therefore know your players and staff and show them
you care. I would not expect my players or staff to passionately care about our football
program if I did not passionately care about them as people. Mission critical towards
developing a successful program is creating a sense of family focused on a singular goal.
Every individual has value, a role, and is important to the team. No single player is more
important than another. As a coach I am a teacher first. What I see on video is what I
have coached. A good teacher knows to keep things simple, not over teach, and is
willing to find the best way to teach. Finally a Head Coach should always be humble,
always give credit, and praise to others. Deflect praise and redirect glory and with
dignity absorb criticism and accept blame.

If human beings are perceived as potentials rather than problems,
as possessing strengths instead of weaknesses, as unlimited rather

that dull and unresponsive, then they thrive and grow to their
capabilities

—Robert Conklin

Defensive Philosophy

For teams to be successful you must play great defense. Top priority will always be to have a strong
defense with sound gap and pass coverage integrity. The defensive scheme must fit our personnel, be
flexible and easily adjust to the offenses that we will face. Defensively we will be extremely relentless
in our pursuit of the football and execute our assignments with aggression, determination and sound
fundamentals. Finally high school defenses must be able to stop the run.

Offensive Philosophy

Move the chains and score points is the objective of this offense. Although balance between the run/
pass ratio, but also in how we attack ALL areas of the field is ideal. At the end of the day our ability to
move the football is the key to our success as a team whether it is run, pass, or play action pass. To
achieve this objective we will do a few things but do them well and out of multiple formations. We
will use a limited number of run blocking schemes complemented by either play action or run pass
options. Our pass schemes are structured to attack the defense with patterns that will stretch the field
vertically and horizontally. Our drop back attack will be complemented by play action passes and
screens. We want to maintain a high level of awareness in all the strategic situations. Have an answer
for every situation. Designed, practiced, and ready in advance. We want to be able to get the ball to
our players most capable of making big plays. Our system must allow us to dictate how and when we
get the ball to our best players.

Specials Teams Philosophy

The special teams are an integral part of our success. The special teams have a huge impact on field
position and the momentum of the game. There is no more important factor in an offense scoring or a
defense stopping an opponent than the starting field position of the drive. Maximizing the change in
field position to our benefit will have a positive impact on the likelihood of victory. One in every six
plays is some form of kick. Close games between evenly matched teams will usually be decided by
special teams play. We are going to be aggressive in our philosophy on special teams, just as we are on
both defense and offense.

Playing Time

Every one of you wants to start on our football team. Unfortunately, not all of you will. The coaching
staff must determine who will start. Consequently, we feel it is important for you to understand how
we will decide on depth charts as practice progresses. The following five points will be the criteria
used in selecting starters and developing depth charts.

1. Knowledge of Assignment:

We cannot and will not play people who do not know their assignments. Your position coach will
spend extra time with you if you so desire. Everyone can and must give 100% Effort.

2. Hustle and Effort:

Everyone will be expected to give 100% at all times. Go full speed whistle to whistle! Your
teammates will be giving 100% and they expect you to do so also. Extra effort wins games.
Everyone can and must give 100%. If

3. Hitting and Mental Toughness:

We will discover during fall practice who is aggressive and mentally tough. Football is a contact
sport and it must be played with mental and physical toughness. Everyone can hit. You must have
“Want To” or you simply will not see playing time. It is dangerous to you and to your team should
we put you on the field before you are ready.

4. Contribution to the Program:

The individual who represents the program well, and motivates his teammates to do better, is
always enthusiastic and ready, will make a greater contribution than one whom does not
demonstrate those qualities. Being coachable and disciplined is critical to our success. One man
who refuses to lose and refuses to allow others to quit or become a distraction is a valuable player.

5. Talent:

If the above four characteristics are equal and they should be, then the young man who has the
most talent, However, talent will not enter into our evaluation until we look closely at the first four
qualities. Obviously if you are missing practice because you are injured or ineligible it will be
difficult for us to evaluate you.

Our best athletes will lead us to a few wins. Our best PEOPLE will lead us to CHAMPIONSHIPS and
make us all legends. We want to live forever in the tradition of the program. All of you who do not
earn a starting position, it is up to you to continue to work hard and be prepared when called upon. You
are always just one play away from playing.

7

Discipline

I build my entire philosophy on coaching and discipline around this simple idea: “That which you
tolerate, you encourage.” That statement will help my kids and staff, understand my approach to
discipline and attention to detail in every aspect of the program. I believe in communicating my
expectations to my staff and my players. I believe in holding them accountable for their actions as well.
I like to keep team rules brief and cut and dry. For example, “Do what is right, always.” I’d like that to
be posted in the locker area and team room. Additionally, I like this rule: “Be where you are supposed
to be, at the time you are supposed to be there, doing what you are supposed to do.” In addition to
those simple rules are simple consequences that each athlete must accept when rules are broken, I
anticipate forming a “Player Council” within the program. The Player council will assist the coaching
staff in providing guidance and structure within the team and give ownership to the players. We will
use a simple system. Each time a player has a discipline problem he will face consequences. He will be
dealt with by his position coaches or the head coach. When he reaches 3 incidents he must face the
Player Council. He must explain his actions and accept his consequences to remain with the team. He
will be suspended for one game. The Player Council will address the young man professionally and with
respect being sure to let him know how he is a distraction to the program and its mission. They will
express to him that he is an integral part of the program’s success and provide suggestions for
controlling his actions. The player will be on a “probation” of sorts. If a player reaches 4 incidents, he

will be dismissed from the team.

Standard Sequence of Disciplinary Actions

 First incidence- TBD
 Second incidence- TBD
 Third incidence-TBD ,Player Council, game suspension”
 Fourth incidence- Dismissed from team.

***The purpose of discipline is to provide the athlete with conditioning and an opportunity to
right his actions. We do not seek to belittle or embarrass any student. I believe a student who
continues to attract negative attention is in fact embarrassing himself and the program.

Our program will be known for disciplined structured practices. Structured routines and traditions
will be our norm. We will do things with “military like precision”. Every school rule will be reinforced in
our program. All players will be treated equally and the idea is that “No player is bigger than the team,
no team bigger than the program.” The bottom line, clear expectations, open lines of communication,
swift, tough and fair discipline. I believe that discipline is something you do for someone, not to
someone.

8

A disciplined person knows how to act when no one of higher authority is watching.
A disciplined team doesn’t self-destruct.
In summary regarding kids who might be outsiders or different in some ways, it’s my responsibility, my
staffs responsibility and the mission of the program to make them feel a part, make them feel
important and to provide life lessons that improve their quality of life. I expect many boys lives will be
changed due to the impact of our quality staff and team. No boy will be disregarded due to playing
ability. No boy is so great a challenge that we would not do our best to make a positive impact on his
life. No effort is too great when it comes to a young man’s future.

Player Code of Conduct

The Code: Goals of our team

I. To develop young men who are respected for overcoming adversity, accepting challenges with
enthusiasm, and for being positive, productive members of our society. People with strong enough
character to do the right thing all of the time.

II. To create student-athletes who will get the most out of themselves. Student- athletes who are
internally motivated to make themselves better and give everything they have every time. Student-
athletes who value the team over the individual.

III. To produce football players who are confident in their abilities, training, and conditioning. Football
players who know that they can win every game they are in, regardless if they do or do not.

The Code: Academic Eligibility

Football players must be eligible and have a 2.0 grade point average. Players on academic probation may
be required to attend study hall(s) to improve their grades. Ineligibility does not necessarily exclude a
player from responsibility of the program. Chronic ineligibility, whether in season or not, may result in
removal from the program.

The Code: Class Attendance

Football players who are truant from a class will additionally be ineligible for practice and/or a game. A
missed game or practice will carry additional penalty of an unexcused absence.

The Code: Workouts/Team Meetings

Football players must attend mandatory workouts or meetings, and be on time. All missed practices,
excused or unexcused, will need to be made up. A missed practice is considered a missed opportunity to
get better. To reduce the impact on a player, an absent player will be given the opportunity to make up the
practice by running (for a predetermined time and under the supervision of a coach). This is not a
punishment and thus will be considered in addition to any running requirement for an unexcused absence.

Failure to attend a mandatory meeting/practice without excuse will result in:

1st Offense: Opportunity
2nd Offense: Opportunity and suspension for first half of next game
3rd Offense: Opportunity and suspension for next game
4th Offense: Dismissal from the team

10

A tardy player can expect the following consequences:

1st Offense: Opportunity
2nd Offense: Opportunity and suspension for first half of next game
3rd Offense: Opportunity and suspension for next game
4th Offense: Possible suspension from the team
5th Offense: Possible dismissal from the team

*Please note that decisions of dismissal will be the sole decision of the head coach.

During the Spring, Summer and Fall, practices will be considered mandatory/optional which is determined
by the head coach. To be excused from any practices/meetings, a parent/guardian note or phone call must
be provided to the Head Coach at least 24 hours before the absences. If calling, the only acceptable excusal
is to speak directly to the Head Coach. This does not include leaving a voice message. Failure to clear the
absence before the missed practice will result in missed practices being considered unexcused.

*Please note that decisions of dismissal will be the sole decision of the Head Coach.

During the Spring, Summer, and Fall, practices are considered mandatory or optional as determined by the
head coach. To be excused from any practices/meetings, a parent/guardian note or phone call must be
given to the Head Coach at least 24 hours before the absences. If calling, the only acceptable excusal is to
speak directly to the Head Coach. This does not include leaving a voice message. Failure to clear an
absence before the missed practice will result in missed practices being considered unexcused. Also,
remember that the player may have to compete with others whose performances have improved during
that player’s absence.

While the coaching staff believes in and supports family vacations/travel, please try to schedule vacations
and/or trips at a time that will disrupt your player’s practice/game schedule least. The coaching staff would
be happy to discuss with you options that will minimally impact your player’s performance and the total
team’s success.

The Code: Off Season Requirements

Spring football practice is a requirement to participate in the Buffalo Football Program. In addition,
participation in track and field (or another Spring Sport) is required. We will use our track and field
program as a base for off-season conditioning. Working together, we can help make more than just
football successful at Tempe High School.

Attendance at both the summer workouts and Camps are a requirement for play and participation in the
fall football season. Any player who misses summer camp will not only lose the opportunity to build team
relationships and better himself as a player, but, will not be assigned to the Varsity squad until further
proof of performance/ability.

11

The Code: Behavior

Unless otherwise indicated, infractions of the expectations in this section will result in the assignment of a
consequence that may include but is not limited to:

 Immediate apology(s)
 Opportunity
 Opportunity and possible consequence
 Dismissal

PLAYER EXPECTATIONS

1. Football players will be respectful to all. Especially school employees, officials, parents, teachers
and other students.

2. Football players will be respectful to coaches and will refer to coaches as “Coach” or “Sir”.
3. Football players will maintain composure during practice and competitions. They will not argue

with or demean officials, opposing coaches and/or players.
4. Football players will not curse or swear.
5. Football players will refrain from horseplay or rough housing.
6. Football players will not litter the locker room or campus.
7. Football players will enthusiastically follow directions given by a coach. Sullen or reluctant

behavior is not tolerated.
8. Football players will respond to questions asked of them with a “Yes, Coach,” “No, Coach,” “Yes,

9. Football players will be honest. Players who cheat or lie will be punished and/or dismissed.
10. Football players will treat school property with care. Vandalism will be punished and could result in

removal from the program, a monetary fine and/or prosecution.

prosecution will be recommended.
12. Football players will conduct themselves with dignity and class at all times.
13. Football players will win the same way they lose, with class. Players will quickly return to and from

the sidelines. Players will cordially shake the opponent’s hands.
14. When on the road, players will enthusiastically follow all schedules designed by the coach.
15. When on the road, players will never leave the premises of competition without requesting

permission from the coach.
16. Football players will be responsible in completing all paperwork (i.e. physicals, clearances,

transportation fees, equipment returns, etc.).

12

PARENTS/GUARDIANS/FANS EXPECTATIONS

1. Be positive and encouraging towards players and coaches.
2. Treat officials, game personnel and administration with respect.
3. Be respectful to other fans (you may have an opinion but, not everyone needs to hear it).
4. Be respectful and courteous when addressing a coach, player or administrator and expect the

same.
5. Get involved in the Booster Club (parent organization) and/or any team support organization

effort.
6. Practices and/or games are not an appropriate time to have a discussion with the coaching staff.

Please schedule a time to meet with a coach at an appropriate and convenient time for everyone.
At no point will play calling or coaching philosophies be an issue of discussion.
7. The entire athletic department appreciates and encourages community participation in our
activities. However, if behaviors develop that are detrimental to the entire community’s
participation, the right to participate may be revoked.

The Code: Courtesy

Football players will follow all directions and direct commands of those in authority. If a question
arises regarding the directions, the player will wait until an appropriate time to address the coach or
other person in authority. At this time respect and courtesy for authority will be maintained at all
times.

The Code: Drugs, Tobacco & Alcohol

 Football players will not use tobacco of any kind.
 Football players will not use alcohol.
 Football players will not use drugs, possess drugs/paraphernalia, or be in the presence of such

items.
 Football players who have a problem with substances are encouraged to seek help for chemical

dependency. Such players will be treated with privacy, and coaches will do everything in their
power to help such players. Players who are reported to the coaches as alcohol or drug users
will be given the opportunity to seek help. Players who partake in alcohol and drugs will be
subject to the rules of the school governing these issues. In addition, on the first offense, any
player found to have taken drugs or alcohol will be, at the least, suspended for the following
competition or perhaps dismissed. A second offense would therefore result in dismissal.

13

The Code: Injuries

Football players will report to the coach and trainer for treatment immediately upon being injured. All
injuries must be reported immediately. Injured players will report daily to the trainer until the
treatment is complete. Players will report to the trainer after competitions. Attendance is mandatory.
There is no loitering or horse play in the training room. Please note that injury does NOT excuse a
player from attending practice(s) and or game(s).

The Code: Equipment

Football players will dress properly for workouts, practices and competitions. No football player will
modify or alter issued equipment or wear any equipment not issued by the school without the coach’s
permission.

All equipment will be turned in on time. Any athlete who has not returned equipment or owes money
will not be allowed to participate in the banquet. Also, he will be given a debt notice and will not be
issued any other athletic gear until the equipment is returned or paid for.

The Code: Uniform

 Approved practice uniforms will be worn in practice and during weight lifting.
 Approved protective gear only.
 No jewelry, watches or customized towels.
 Practice uniforms are expected to be washed on Tuesday (Freshman)/Wednesday (JV/Varsity)
 Cleat color will be universal for all players. These decisions will be made by the coaches.
 Game socks will be universal for all players. This will be selected by coaches.
 No tape on uniforms or cleats without permission from the coaches.
 Any player not properly uniformed will be considered in defiance and will receive consequences

for that action.
 No individualized spatting or taping will be permitted.
 Any uniform adjustments requested by the coaches will be made immediately.

14

The Code: Grooming & Dress

The school dress code will be strictly enforced. In the spirit of team togetherness, nothing that displays
outlandish individuality will be tolerated. It is therefore strongly recommended by the coaching staff
that all players shower directly following any practice. We suggest this be done on campus. It will be
required that all players shower (on-campus – either ours or the guest school’s) directly following any
game. Should there be extenuating circumstances, coaches must grant approval.

The Code: Travel

Football players are expected to travel to and from competitions with the team unless excused by a
member of the coaching staff. Football players should remember that they represent Tempe High School
and the football program while traveling. Coaches expect them to show class and be respectful to all those
they encounter.

Parents must provide coaching staff with a written note (prior to Game Day) asking for permission of their
student-athlete to leave with them.

The Code: Early Termination

No player will be excused from participation in the football program without the express permission of
the head coach. No player will participate in any other sport during the football season without the
permission of the head coach and the coach of the other sport unless given administration approval.

If a parent/guardian decides to remove his/her child from the football program (for example, Brian is
getting two Ds in his classes), the player will only be permitted to return with the express permission of
the Head Coach.

The Code: Recruiting/Media Information

All players must have a district photographic release form on file with the Registration and Football
offices. Additionally, players must agree to allow the football program to provide personal information
(including but not limited to transcript, address, phone numbers and parent/guardian names) to
authorized football representatives (i.e. college recruiters).
Players agree to allow the football program to use football photographs/video clips of the player for
football related promotions and for posting on the football website. Again, the Photographic Release form
must be on file in the Registration and Football Office.

15

The Code: Signatures

We believe that student athletes in the football program should exemplify the highest ideas of scholarships,
sportsmanship, and citizenship. Young men in this program will be expected to be courteous, respectful,
and responsible at all times, on and off the campus.

Participants in the football program recognize that playing football for Tempe High School carries with it
additional responsibilities and thus will be governed by the following additional rules and expectations.
Thus I submit the additional guidelines and consequences put forth in this document and referred to as
“The Code”.

As a participant and member of the Tempe High School Football Program, I agree to the following Code of
Conduct.

The coaching staff has reviewed the rules and requirements orally and I fully understand my responsibility
to myself and the Buffalo Football Program.

Involving Faculty

I understand that not every faculty member enjoys football. However, I do believe that there
are great potential benefits for faculty members with their support of the program. The many
things we demand of our players will carry over into the classroom. I view my faculty relations as
important to the success we have on the field. First, I will be absolutely involved in student
behavior and completely supportive through providing discipline should any student be
disrespectful to a teacher. My coaches will be assigned to monitor their position player’s academic
status. It’s important to me that the faculty feel free to see me with any concerns. As a show of
unity I will encourage faculty members to wear school colors every Game day. I will provide
banners and school pride merchandise for each classroom. I will seek teachers to become part of
my coaching staff regardless of experience. I need good people in the building to be successful. I
can train them to teach football. I will seek out teachers to work at games and functions as well

“Excellence On and Off the Field”

Team Goals

1. To develop young men who are respected for overcoming adversity, accepting challenges with
enthusiasm, and for being positive, productive members of our society. People with strong enough
character to do the right thing all of the time.

2. To create student-athletes who will get the most out of themselves. Student- athletes who are
internally motivated to make themselves better and give everything they have every time. Student-
athletes who value the team over the individual.

3. To produce football players who are confident in their abilities, training, and conditioning. Football
players who know that they can win every game they are in, regardless if they do or do not.

Team Objectives

It has been my experience that grouping objectives by offense, defense and special teams often
creates a mentality of “We did our job, but you didn’t do yours. This kind of mentality causes tension
and can divide a team. To avoid this I use team objectives. The performance of the offense, defense
and special teams is factored into each objective.

Staff

Staffing the Program

I understand the pain any staff goes through when their head coach either resigns or is removed. I
have been in your shoes twice before. There is doubt, frustration and possibly a great deal of anger
and resentment if they are passed over for the job. I understand too well however that you cannot
build and run a successful organization without good people. My top priority will be to assemble and
train a qualified, loyal, enthusiastic, passionate staff. I appreciate experience but I will sacrifice years
for energy and effort. I will quickly contact the remaining staff and discuss their level of interest in
remaining with the program. If they want to stay, I will arrange to interview them to be sure we can
communicate and work as a team. I absolutely do not have any interest in any type of power struggle
and wish not to spend my time being undermined by someone who has other ideas or motives. Quite
simply, it must be a fit.

What I Expect From My Assistant Coaches

1. You want to be the best coach that you can be.

a. Assumes a willingness to work the hours necessary to improve attitude, self-image and technical
skills. Assumes a willingness to grow, be receptive to new ideas and techniques, and be willing to
read and research.

2. You want to make a positive impact on young people.

a. You will be a coach who will assure kids of what they can accomplish.
b. You will search out the good in each player.
c. You will criticize the performance, not the performer.
d. You will teach and model character, integrity, honesty, and class.
e. You will demonstrate in work and action the importance of a quality education.
f. You understand that each player has worth and is to be treated as such.

3. You understand the TEAM concept. We will be a team as a staff. We will not have “in-fighting” or
disloyalty.

4. If you have a problem with someone, deal with it professionally. Go straight to them and resolve the
situation. Go to a superior if you must. Do not talk behind his back, do not talk in the community.
We are all on the same team here. There is no us against them. We are all here for the same
reasons.

5. Your language will be beyond reproach. Profanity – NO!! Can’t defend it!

6. I understand and will follow the chain of command. If you do not understand the chain, you will ask.
Many decisions are made and changed without your input or approval. It is your job to carry them
out until such a time that you can discuss concerns with other coaches in private. Do not gossip. Do
not show disloyalty. Do not, ever, under any circumstances, question or argue with another coach in
front of the players.

7. Dress neatly at all times, especially when meeting parents, administrators, attending professional
clinic (coaching school) etc. At practice must wear our coaching attire.

8. The basic rule is to work long enough to get the job done. We should not get caught up in busy work,
coaches need time to themselves during the season and off-season. . Do what it takes to get the job
done; don’t shortchange the other coaches and or our players.

22

General Coaching Guidelines

 Have passion for learning the game.
 Be yourself.
 Be consistent, fair, and available.
 Care for the kids, but expect excellence.
 Be responsible for yourself and your players.
 Know and fulfill your responsibilities.
 Be totally committed to the development of your players.
 Maintain proper perspective by reminding yourself that this is a game played by kids. We are

here to use the game to teach the players about life.
 Know the abilities and limitations of your players, and use them to try and become the best

position group on the field each and every day.
 Make sure to teach the players WHY they do things.
 Remember to have fun and be human.

23

Successful Coaching Considerations

1. Establish Discipline:
a. Players are expected to listen intensely. Part of this falls on the coach to use methods that
keep them engaged and on the edge of their seats.
b. Players must hear the instruction and correction that the player performing the drill or rep is
receiving.
c. Focused action. Is doing exactly what you are supposed to do in the manner you are
supposed to do it. I as a coach are accountable to be as detailed as possible while explaining
my expectations

2. When taking the field know where you belong, be waiting for your players.
3. Have something to say after each effort. Remember, this is coaching and “don’t coach out of

frustration.” Don’t just tell an athlete what he is doing wrong, show him how to correct it; this builds
credibility.
4. Stay alert for players with injuries or heat problems. Refer to trainer.
5. Strive to make your group the best on the field, take pride in your work.
6. Do not experiment with drills during practice, have your work thought out, and make sure it fits the
scheme.
7. Never lose your poise or confidence, coach those things that you know how to fix.
8. As a position coach, expect to be talked to if something avoidable goes wrong.
9. Our practices must be organized; talk in meetings not on the field, repetition is the most important
key, repetition instills learning. Don’t hold clinics on the field.
10. Players must perform on the practice field with extreme quickness, hustle is the key ingredient.

24

Off Season Expectations

Each off-season all of the coaches will participate in the strength and conditioning program, community
service projects, and professional growth opportunities. Every coach is not expected to participate in
everything that we do in the off-season. You have families and other responsibilities that are ultimately
more important than football, but all of the coaches must be visible to the kids and in the community
during the off-season. Some specific requirements:

Weight room – each coach will be scheduled to help in the weight room in the winter, spring, and

summer, unless he is involved in another sport. You will not be there every day, or every lift. The work-
load will be shared so that you would not spend more than one day per week or every two weeks. You
are encouraged to come any time you can in addition to your scheduled time. It is important for you to
be seen by the players, to get to know the players. The program will run from 3:30 to 5:30.

Community Service Projects – the team will be involved in many community service projects, you

must participate, in some capacity, in one of those projects.

Professional Development – Each off-season you should strive to become a better coach and a

better person. As a staff we will attend clinics together.

None of these requirements are designed to be busy work. These will honestly help you to become a
better coach. If you do not want to be a better coach, or you think there is nothing left out there for you
to learn then you don’t need to be in this program? There is always something new to learn. We are
building something special here and we must reach and strive to achieve that goal.

football as possible and to make sure tackles when they get there. A defense that does not miss tackles
will be very successful, while a team that misses tackles will be unsuccessful. Missed tackles are the
number one thing that has to be eliminated in order to succeed on the defensive side of the ball.

Practice

Nothing is more important to success than the time we spend on the practice field. The important thing
is how we utilize this time. The time we spend preparing for practice is as important as the actual time
you spend on the field. The only way we can determine whether our practices are organized or not is by
what we accomplish on the field during our allotted time. We’ll win during the week on the practice
field, in other words we’ll play like we practice. “Must Practice Like Champions”

During pre-season, we must get our team fundamentally sound. We must attempt to prepare our self’s
to play a game the week prior to the opening season. Compile a “must list” and make certain every
situation is covered on it. Conduct a game like scrimmage and do not conclude it until every situation
that might arise during the season is covered.

Practice Philosophy

Utilization of practice time is of utmost importance. We must have practice segments organized to the
minute. Each segment should last approximately 5 minutes but not longer than 10 minutes in duration.
Each segment should be coached to its fullest potential and once the period is over then you must
proceed to the next period, no exceptions. By sticking to this routine, it forces us to coach hard and to
near game like situation.
Coaches are to get as much “talking” done as possible before going onto the field. We do not want to
slow down the tempo of practice. Enthusiasm is a vital role in a good practice. By standing around and
“talking” to our players will sometimes slow down their intensity. Players need to know that when they
step onto the grass they must be sharp, enthusiastic, with lots of hustle. This can only be possible if we
have “A Unified Coaching Staff” demanding the same style of play. Be Positive … Coach up and make our
players the best that they can be, each player should be made to feel important to the overall success of
the program.
As a staff we must stress to your players the importance of a great work ethic. It is my belief that if we
are going to change the attitude of our players then we must change the attitude for what it takes to win.
The little Things Make the Difference, Never Compromise Your Beliefs, and The Way You Practice, Is the
Way You Will Play on Game day.

34

Drill Philosophy

As a coach we make our greatest contribution in the construction, planning and administering of drills.
More important than what system of offense and defense we run, it’s how we teach our style of football.
We must be very selective in the drills that we use. They should:

1. Cover considerable ground in a short period of time.
2. Be well planned and administered.
3. Be known by name to the players so that they do not require re-explanation after the first two

or three times the drill has been run.

Most drills should have a secondary movement. Almost all actions in football are based on carrying out a
secondary movement, after an initial one.
Do not make drills too elaborate; keep them short, snappy, crisp, and positive.
The preparation for drills must be made in full detail before hitting the practice field. The coach
conducting the drill should see that his drills are prepared in advance, including any necessary teaching
aids, such as balls, cones, practice bags, etc. Be certain managers are informed in advance of what
equipment is needed, and if we have no managers, then you as the coach conducting the drill must get to
practice early to have your stations set and ready to go.
Basically There Are Five Types Of Drills:

1. Fundamental Drills – these are to teach all the skills of tackling, blocking, stance, etc.
2. Reaction Drills – primarily for developing quickness, balance, and agility. These should be

included briefly in almost every practice.
3. Conditioning Drills – once the season has begun these will be almost entirely running drills.
4. Toughening Drills – the primary purpose here is to develop and encourage the desire and ability

to utilize the physical contact aspect of the game of football.
5. Fun Drills – used to lighten the practice load late in the season or as a morale booster.

35

Practice and Drill Considerations

The following information is basic practice and drill development considerations each coach should
remember when installing and developing his position players and for developing general points for
establishing a practice plan.

1. Give each player a chance to succeed and be positive. We’re only as good as the last guy; so how
good will that player be? How important will you make him feel?

2. Push players to their full maximum efforts.
3. Make your “Drill Atmosphere” full speed.
4. Teach at the top position skill level, don’t coach down.
5. Correct all techniques and assignment and assignment errors “Immediately.”
6. Maintain positive discipline – control action – stress execution.
7. Teach high percentage repetitions with low percentage group discussion, develop position skills.
8. Skills are perfected by “Repetition” – move players fast through drills.
9. Begin new practice segments as fast as possible – predict effort.
10. We as coaches must continuously teach blocking and tackling, proper pursuit and contain.

Emphasis first key reactions.
11. Teach the easiest way to complete the assignment – learn from repetition.
12. As a position coach stress basic skill techniques, the game is secondary.
13. Instill a practice work ethic – force your players to “Practice Hard.”
14. Be persistent in demanding that techniques are performed correctly.
15. Coach at near game like player reaction.
16. Plan and only use position drills that relate to specific position assignments.
17. End practice segments on the whistle – start new drill as soon as possible.
18. Always bring practice schedule with you to practice.

Game Plan & Sample Scout Reports

Game Plan Board

No surprises on Friday night. Thorough and sound game planning will have a positive impact on the
likelihood of victory. Distribute offensive and defensive scouting reports to all staff and players. Weekly
Film study of our opponent by players and coaches is mission critical. Even though we may run an
expansive offense over the course of a season we need to limit the amount of plays we carry into a game
due to the fact that there are only a limited amount of practice repetitions available during the week.
Build our game plan around down & distance, field position and special situations.
