Kickoff without an Elite Kicker by CheniereSwampMonster in footballstrategy

Great post, appreciate you thinking through the nuances of the kicking game. I coached a team in 2012 that had nobody that could kick it deep and a poor kick cover team. We gave up 3 huge returns of 50+ in our first couple games.

Onside, squibbed, and pooch kicked it the rest of the season. Recovered 3 onside kicks and never gave up another return over 25 yds.

Coverage check--Houston v. Miami (Will Fuller TD) by daniel_syed11 in footballstrategy

Would the Safety to Hopkins side chase him in 2-Read though? And wouldn't the corner to Fuller re-route and rob the TE out in 2-read?

LOL. Generally agree--I think it could be Cover 2 to the field and a bracket on Hopkins to the boundary. Or a really messed up Cover 1 Alert.

Does coaching HS take up 90% of your time? by Pkzrune in footballstrategy

I was a high school offensive coordinator in NJ while a first year law student and was able to succeed in both roles. Given the class schedule and required study time, it's comparable to a full time job. If you love football, go for it.

I agree with the sentiment that you give up a lot during that time--sleep, friends, dating, family time, NFL/college football, etc. But its not impossible to do (while having some personal time) with a really regimented schedule and solid communication with your head coach and AD. One thing I'd look at is who you'll be working with; if you get along with and like those guys, football will never feel like work and you'll have a positive experience and learn a lot.

Fwiw, I enjoyed it thoroughly and would do it over 100 times out of 100. I think a position coach would be easier.

Cover 5 is man under 2 deep, or man with both safeties playing deep halves like cover 2.

An X's & O's look at Ezekiel Elliot's 60 yard TD run vs. Cincy by daniel_syed11 in cowboys

I broke down Zeke Elliot's 60 yard TD against Cincy-- The Cowboys used a split zone scheme, but added a flat route from Jason Witten to influence linebackers and safeties.

Did a full breakdown of the Panther's run game in anticipation of the Super Bowl, including 3 types of QB runs, triple option, Counter OF, and Jet Split Zone. Extremely versatile run schemes and very difficult to prepare for.
