4. Phase 1-Off Season Program Standards
November to January
I would call this my brief post season phase where a lot of
organization takes place in regards to player personnel, coaching staff,
budgeting and coaching professional development. You could say this
part of the year has three themes-reflection, justification and
expectation.
• Reflection- Conduct exit interviews with players and staff. Revisit
offensive, defensive and special schemes and game plans and
assess the effectiveness with the coaching staff. Reflect on how to
improve our coaching.
• Justification- Assess the interviews and meetings with players and
coaches to determine what changes need to be made and if they
are necessary. Justify what players and coaches should not be a
part of the program. Assess inventory and research prices on
uniforms and equipment.
• Expectation- Establish what scheme changes will occur and how the
staff will implement them. Determine what professional
development and training the players and staff should be attending.

training. The training sessions are now going to be

areas from skills to linemen. We will also address the
development of mental training as it relates to imagery,

relaxation/meditation. In addition to the physical and
mental training, the topic of communication will also
be addressed to increase positive and productive
communication in training and competition
atmospheres.

Vertical Jump – Distance measured out of the best of 3 jumps
40 yd time – 40 yd dash will be ran 3 times with the best time recorded
20 yd shuttle – 20 yd shuttle time will be performed with the best time recorded
Bench Press – Each Grade will have a specific weight and they need to perform as many repetitions as possible
Squat – Each Grade will have a specific weight and they need to perform as many repetitions as possible
Power Clean – Each Grade will have a specific weight and they need to perform as many repetitions as possible
Dead Lift-- Each Grade will have a specific weight and they need to perform as many repetitions as possible
Offensive Skill Work– Players will be put through a variety of drills that will display their offensive abilities. Correct technique as well as
perceived potential will be evaluated. Players will be rated on a scale of 0 through 5. (0 is the lowest score and 5 is the highest) Comments will
also be made in the box.
Defensive Skill Work – Players will be put through a variety of drills that will display their defensive skill and tackling technique. Current
technique as well as perceived potential will be evaluated. Players will be rated on a scale of 0 through 5. (0 is the lowest score and 5 is the
highest) Comments will also be made in the box.
Attitude – The attitude box is a larger because it is one of the most important categories to the coaching staff. This category includes
coachability (ability to understand and perform what a coach says). Players will be rated on a scale of 0 through 5. (0 is the lowest score and 5 is
the highest) Comments will also be made in the box. The coaching staff is willing to keep a player that may have less athletic ability but a better
“attitude”. As you can see Attitude and Coachability are very broad subjects.
Character – The Character box is a larger because it is also one of the most important categories to the coaching staff. This category includes
how a player acts on the field as well as in school. Players will be rated on a scale of 0 through 5. (0 is the lowest score and 5 is the highest)
Comments will also be made in the box. The coaching staff is willing to keep a player that may have less athletic ability but a better “Character”.
Character is also a very broad category.
66. Phase 4 In Season Program
August to November
• My in season program will be based around
developing our players through physical and
character training with an emphasis on Effort and
Execution. We will have a versatile defense that
can move freely out of even and odd fronts with
an option and zone read running attack that uses
play action and west coast passing concepts to
get specific players open while keeping the
defense off balance through our offensive
balance. I have really become a fan of the option
style offense since taking this class and I feel that
it can be a positive for our program.

70. Philosophy of Offense
Coming from a Wing-T background, deception and the ability
to attack the defense across their entire front are important factors.
The purpose of the plays that were selected is to do just that, create a
common zone blocking scheme with the ability to attack different
holes through the use of reading and optioning the defense. The give
and give option will allow the offense to get a quick hit up the middle
or use that to attack the edge with the option. The Belly Option will
allow the offense to hit the Guard/Tackle hole and still allow an option
on the outside, but the offense also has the ability to get a cutback
lane by the 3 Back after his handoff. The Stretch Option will allow the
offense a wide attack on both sides of the Line of Scrimmage,
especially away from where both the Give and Belly have their reads,
which is on the TE side of the ball. In addition to the width and
opposite attack, the stretch option also gives the T-Back the ability to
cut up or take the sweep outside. The Belly Counter can also be ran by
the T-back as well which can give this play an added advantage, but
the concept behind the play is to use the flow of the defense from
running the Belly Option and Give Option to the TE side that we will
counter to the opposite side. The backside tackle will also pull on the
counter, since most teams will try to key the guards.
71. Philosophy of Offense-Continued
The passing plays that were chosen were to show the
importance of running play action off our running plays, but
also to show the need for a crossing route play. The Belly Pass
uses a flood concept by running off the corner with the Fade,
Smash route by the TE, wide flare by the option man and a
Centerfield route by the X receiver, furthermore; the run fake
by the H-back will put him in position to pick up the end
vacated by the TE. The Give Pop Pass should influence both
Middle linebackers to step up, giving the TE space for the
quick Pop pass, moreover; the scat route by the Z will open
the flare for the T-Back, while the Quick slant could hit big if
the nickel back is rolled up on the line in a wide 9 technique.
The last pass route that is diagramed is a basic crossing route
with a 5 step drop, attracting the Linebackers attention with a
shallow route for the T-back, this should allow the TE to open
up late behind the backers.
72. Option Explanation
The “Option on Me,” system is rather intriguing as a coach
because you are constantly wanting to place defenses at a
disadvantage and attack them where they are the weakest. There was
a lot of enjoyment and excitement in drawing up these plays and I am
doing my best from not trying to install them this year because I want
our kids to do what we do best first, but we are having a little bit of
struggle as well as entering the hardest part of our schedule. If we
were to install them this year, I would first install the Midline and Veer
options first because I feel that these are the easier of the 2 reads for
the QB and they are utilizing the same players in the same roles, so
that could in turn cut down on installation time as far as handing off,
reading and pitching. The next option to go in would be the, since
there is a little overlap with the pitch relation, but there is the blocking
scheme that will take a little time to develop. Finally, the Speed would
go in last because of coaching up the fullback on the pitch relation and
the blocking duties of the T-back. The speed option was drawn up
with the play action to the 2 receiver side, so the players can be
exposed to it early.
85. Defensive Philosophy
Coming from more of an offensive background, I base my
defensive philosophy off of what I feel confuses my players and
presents me with the most difficult task of defeating my opponent. My
defensive philosophy stems from that of a high school background
with an odd front defense that can use over and under fronts to get
the match ups versus the offensive line that you may want and need. I
would prefer to run a 3-4 scheme, since it is much easier at the high
school where I am at to find 4 or 5 rotatable defensive linemen than it
is to use a set even front. The number of defensive linemen is not the
only reason because I also like the flexibility and creativity that an odd
front defense offers from a blitzing and stunting aspect. I am a firm
believer in confusing an offensive line, while bringing pressure from
everywhere to force a quick release from a quarterback. In addition to
the stunting and blitzing, I also like the deception of coverage that the
3-4 offers because after the offensive line is confused ... the
quarterback should follow. In addition to the confusion of the
offensive line, pressure and coverage changes, the most important
aspect of my defensive philosophy is to have all 11 players converging
on the ball carrier with full speed and effort.

104. The purpose of having an entire offense for pursuit drill is to give the defense a more realistic look than just having a
rabbit go one way or another. The use of offensive linemen allows the backers and defensive linemen a chance to see a
high hat to determine pass/run and the incorporation of skill players allows us to run counters reverses and influence
plays for the defense. Once the offensive player has the ball, he will not be tackled and he will go to the sideline and
ultimately the end zone as shown above. I would also include a pursuit drill where the rabbit stops on the whistle and all
of the defense has to collapse down on his position. The structure is quite traditional, defense gets the call, cadence
given-linebackers do an up/down and chop feet, linemen lock out and defensive backs drop into coverage until a whistle
is blown to disburse the ball and pursuit begins. After the players have gotten to the correct angles and spot they will
finish by chopping feet until last whistle upon which they return to defensive huddle.

Kickoff
I have chosen a basic even kickoff, since the new rules state that the kicking team needs to have at 4 to a side before the
kick. We will motion our W or A behind the kicker when attempting an onside kick. My Philosophy in regards to a Kick off
team is to have my faster athletes whom have the ability to breakdown and tackle well be on the kickoff team. I feel that
kick off and punt are the 2 most important teams because they can cause the biggest momentum swings in a game. The
reason for this, kickoff is either when you are starting a game, half or after you had just scored and created momentum for
your team. WE WILL ALSO
HAVE ALL PLAYERS TO THE

Kick Off Return
I have never used the formation below, but I really feel that this offers a great deal of coverage versus the many various
onside kicks that we face on our schedule as well as putting more athletes in positions where they can impact the return
game. My philosophy with the return game is too have larger and more athletic players man the front line and the Short
player, while my fast and skilled players behind that. Blockers will look for contact and everyone will run at full speed.

Punt Team
Like I previously stated, the punt team is one of the two most important special teams because not only does it offer your opponent an
opportunity to score, but it also creates a huge momentum swing and adds to the field position battle. In addition to the formation below, we
will incorporate the tight formation and the spread formation as well. I like the protection that the tight formation offers, as well as the
versatility of the spread formation. The Punt team needs to have solid protection and solid coverage with all 9 coverage players to the ball,
while maintaining their spacing.

Punt Block/ Return
The defensive front below offers the coverage against the fake, while also giving the defense
the ability to get a great rush on the punter. The punt block and return team will substitute
larger slower run defense players with larger athletic defensive ends to aid in the blocking
during the return game.

Field Goal/PAT Formation
Field Goal/PAT Formation
The field goal team will understand the importance of protection and awareness when it comes to kicking and releasing
off of a “FIRE” call. Our interior line will consist of large and strong linemen that play with a solid base and our ends and
wings will consist of players with size, athleticism and hands, which will lend us to looking to our TE’s and FB’s. Along with
the formation below, I have found the swinging gate very interesting with many play options off of that because our
kickers are normally some or our more athletic kids and usually our starting our back up QB.
111. Seven Day Schedule Explanation
The first thing you may notice about the practice layout is that our practices are not broken
down into 5 minute segments that I would really like to do, but the sideline timer that we use
can only be programmed up to 9 periods. If we were to have the funds to buy one of the more
expensive timers then we would switch it to a 5 minute segment layout. We only lift 2 days a
week due to time restrictions placed on teams in our county because we are only allowed to
have one 3 hour practice during the week and the rest of the practices cannot go past 2 hours
... Saturday team time cannot go over 5 hours with only 3 of those hours being of the physical
nature; furthermore film study, chalk talks and lifting all count toward your 2 hours of practice
time during the week. If we were not constrained by all of these time restrictions, I would have
my team lift hard on Mondays and Wednesdays with the recovery circuit on Saturdays. There
always needs to be a tackling circuit and a blocking session on the defense and offense days
respectively. As for the remainder of the schedule, all of the coaches meetings and team
functions are laid out with their obvious explanations.

119. 10 Week Bulletin Board Theme
presented by The Staff
1) Concussions
2) Hydration and
Nutrition
3) Communication
4) Responsibility
5) Respect
6) Sacrifice
7) Integrity
8) Honesty and The
Golden Rule
9) Accountability
10)Empathy
120. 1. Concussions
• Training Staff
• It is important that the players
know not only the signs of
concussions, but what they
are, how they can impact their
future AND ways to prevent
them most of all.
• The bulletin board can show
helmet safety, neck and upper
body exercises to help reduce
head jarring and how to tell a
coach that their friend may
have a concussion that they
are trying to hide.
121. 2. Hydration and Nutrition
• Training Staff
• Importance and effects of
being hydrated and
dehydrated.
• Nutrition during the season
is important because of the
hours the kids are putting in
that some of them skip
lunch or they might not find
time to eat.
• Eating for weight
maintenance is also
important.
122. 3. Communication
• Coach 1
• Communication is a key component
to football and to life because people
will always be playing or working in a
team environment.
• Young people often feel very
uncomfortable communicating with
others whom they are not familiar
with and this is another reason to
stress the various skills of
communication.
• The board should include sending
positive and accurate messages,
active listening and understanding
messages, constructive criticism,
receiving praise and recognition and
establishing credibility with
teammates and coaches.
123. 4. Responsibility
• Coach 2
• There are many ways to
display responsibility and
having a bulletin board
dedicated to the many aspects
from family to team to life to
career can help the athletes
see the importance of it.
• Players need to always be
reminded of their own
personal responsibility and the
role they play on a team,
which goes towards their
accountability.
124. 5. Respect
• Coach 3
• Respect can go towards many
different areas, but our respect board
will focus first on respecting women
and parents/guardians, along with
people in positions above you,
teammates and lastly themselves.
• Players need to see pictures of what
music actually portrays and how
demeaning and socially unacceptable
the lyrics actually are.
• Players know that they are on the
most popular team in the school, but
they need to be reminded that the
respect they portray can have a
positive impact on the school body.
125. 6. Sacrifice
• Coach 4
• Many young people are so caught up
in the instant gratification and having
things done for themselves that
many need to see what actual
sacrifice is.
• To get anywhere a team needs to
have players that are willing to
sacrifice themselves or their playing
time or their position on the team for
the good of the team.
• A bulletin board full of athletes,
firemen, military, policemen and
everyday people can prove to the
players that people make sacrifices
everyday and the end result is usually
successful.
126. 7. Integrity
• Coach 6
• Integrity is a valuable trait
for all young men and
athletes to understand
because it is what
sportsmanship is all about.
• Young people need to
understand that they have
moral responsibilities to
stand up for others, speak
up at in injustices and
maintain honesty in
everything they do.
127. 8. Honesty and the Golden Rule
• Coach 7
• Building off of the
previous week’s theme of
Integrity will be Honesty
and the Golden Rule.
• Establishing credibility
and maintaining trust are
key to any successful
business or team.
• Players need to be
reminded how honesty
directly relates to the
Golden Rule.
128. 9. Accountability
• Coach 8
• Maintaining personal
responsibility to the team
and the player becomes
very important late into the
season for a couple reasons.
• Teams succeed more when
their player perform their
duty and do not go outside
of the scheme.
• Academic Eligibility comes
into play at the end of the
season, so the players need
to maintain their grades.
129. 10. Empathy
• Coach 9
• This may be the last bulletin
board of the season, so the
lesson should be one that carries
over into life as well.
• Understanding other people or at
least realizing why or how
another person may act or
respond to a situation is
important both for the last game
and leading into the playoffs or
for leading into life.
• Players need to take time to
understand why a person may be
feeling a certain way about
something.
130. Player’s Role
• Play the game for fun
• Be gracious when you win and graceful when you lose
• Respect and abide by the rules of the game
• Put the team ahead of yourself in every situation
• Accept decisions made by those in authority
• Demonstrate respect for your opponents, coaches and
teammates
• Be accountable for your own actions
• Develop a teachable spirit that allows you to take
correction as a compliment
• Accept and embrace the discipline involved in athletics,
because it benefits the team.
• Develop a feeling of pride based upon “shared joy” of the
team, and do not have pride that emanates from arrogance
or a sense of entitlement.
• Be an athlete of character.
131. Parent’s Role
• Attend as many games as possible
• Be a model, not a critic; model appropriate behavior, poise, and
confidence
• Attend parent group meetings and off season meetings
• Do everything possible to make the athletic experience positive for your
child and others
• View the game with team goals in mind
• Attempt to relieve competitive pressure, not increase it
• Encourage multiple-sport participation
• Release your children to the coach and the team
• Look upon opponents as friends involved in the same experience
• Accept the judgment of the officials and coaches; remain in control
• Accept the results of each game; do not make excuses
• Demonstrate winning and losing with dignity
• Dignify mistakes made by athletes who are giving their best effort and
concentration
• Be an encourager– encourage athletes to keep their perspective in both
victory and defeat
• Be a good listener
• Accept the goals, roles, and achievements of your child

“The price of success is hard work, dedication
to the job at hand, and the determination that
whether we win or lose, we have applied the
best of ourselves to the task at hand.”
-Vince Lombardi
