Nick Saban's definition of leadership:

Mike Leach was Consumed
When Mike Leach was getting his law degree he reached out to a famous attorney to see if law was really what he wanted to do with his life.
This was the response he got...
"I love law. I hate law. But, most importantly, I am consumed by law. I think…

Top Time Wasters
1) Installing off the field.
2) Huddling for scout teams.
Both of them are solved by giving players images on the field.
Where do you believe the most time is wasted in practice, and what is a solution to make it more efficient?

I vote electronic wearables. Watches preferably.
Helmet mics wouldn’t remove the bottleneck of memorization.
And they would make offenses a lot less dynamic in terms of using tempo.
Until then, wrist coaches with images for us!
It’s 2023
Coaches should not be dressing up like Teletubbies to signal plays…
We need Helmet Comms in College Football ASAP

We run our scout teams 2X faster than colleges.
I worked on a P4 staff and I’ve timed reps at numerous other spring practices.
That means we get 2X the reps.
We do it by never huddling with our scouts.
And we don’t buy expensive technology to do this.

The bottleneck of most systems is the memorization that is required. That’s why our primary play calling method is using images.
We can put the motion/shift directly on the image. (On Charlie 51 we have an optional motion. The QB looks at numbers and either motions for Swing or…

Mike Leach was a pioneer and it stemmed from his independent mind...

You start to become the person you think everyone expects you to be.

What is Rooski?
Rooski is a play calling system that uses images to call plays.
You can line up any player anywhere on the field and ask them to execute any assignment they have the ability to execute, without them having to memorize anything.

One of the greatest freedoms gained as you grow up is the freedom to choose who you spend your days with.
Why not choose to be around people who love others and love what they do?
Being around people who hate others and/or hate what they do is misery.

Running a slow no-huddle offense gives a team the least pre snap advantage possible.
In order for up tempo teams to execute they had to simplify their system. But this was fine because they were using speed to reduce recognition and anticipation.
When you run the same system…

I use to try hard to downplay the importance of sports because I thought there were simply more important things in life I should focus on. And while there are certainly other important things that matter in life, I believe more and more in the good sports bring to our world.

A great measure of a coach is how hard the players play on game day.
An even better metric is how hard the players practice.
The team that practices with the most passion rarely loses.

Athletes and parents, please be careful of organizations who claim they can help your kids get recruited. Very few good college teams use these services.
Also know that colleges are in a dead period right now. They cannot attend these so called “showcase” camps.
