The unfortunate part of coaching is you spend countless hours with players and it’s always the 2 minute Gameday conversation that gets scrutinized. I commend this young man for his eye contact and discipline in the situation. Thank you for your passion Coach Cristobal. Go Ducks

When young guys say they want to be coordinators. Earn your stripes, being the Head Coach isn’t always so lavishing. Paint lines then we’ll talk X’s and O’s. #playfast

Here’s another lesson I’ve learned the hard way. Take commitment over numbers. Everybody wants 45-55 man squads and it’s great to say we have 140 in our program. Give me 30 kids that buy in and show up everyday and you will be much happier. Coach who wants to be there with you.

I think all young players should watch how Pro’s do drills. It’s not 11 on 11 for 2 hours straight, even the best work technically and fundamentally to improve. Sled work is a privilege not a punishment.

This is a huge obstacle in HS Coaching. Kids don’t realize how much they are really capable of and how little they are actually accomplishing. Comes down to the defense mechanism to want to deny blame and not accept responsibility.

I see a lot of talk about 5 star throwing to 5 star, or handing it to 5 star behind 5 star lineman. Am I in the minority thinking Sark’s gameplan and play calling was an absolute thing of beauty? Ohio State has some guys with “Stars” also. Almost all with throws HS kids can make

When I give advice to young coaches I tell them they don’t have to be the smartest guy in the room, but you have to be able to sit in on the conversation. Learn everything you can, use what you need. Don’t be the guy that sits in on the same clinic topics every time. #diversify

As a defensive coach I always look at alignment. I should be able to tell what we are playing by our alignment or our stem to that alignment. If you look at your film and can’t tell what you are trying to play, or why your players are lined up that way you have to reteach it.

Football has evolved now to where a ton of passing occurs into the boundary. Probably more 1 on 1 than route combos or concepts. That’s why defensive coaches have changed their thought process and put best cover guy into the boundary. #PassGameChat
