If anyone has tapes, clinic information or plays please contact me at coachmts@aol.com Is their offense a form of the Fly O or the Jet series that wing t teams run. 1/21/01 at 11:25 AM by Joe Bitondo We are implementing the veer and pro sets into our offense. I was wondering if anyone knows where i can find some info on diffrent blocking schemes for these types of offense?

We have always played the best teams in the state. My philosophy is play the best and it will pay its benefits. Sometimes we come out of non league 2-2, 1-3 but, I fill we played good ball but it is still not a WIN. We do well in our league but the record hurts our seeding in the state playoffs. Do you think we should back off and schedule weaker team's and shoot for that good record or play that tuff schedule? 1/17/01 at 3:59 PM by Randy Squier We are currently discussing implementing football for the first time at our high school in NYS--Fallsburg Central Schools in Section IX. . The BOE is hesitant, becuase of costs and hurting exisiting fall sports. I am looking for any ideas or letters to the BOE expressing the importance and significance football can have on a young man's life and how football can improve the overall environment of the school. 1/17/01 at 9:19 AM by BCampbell I'm interested in finding out what college coaches are looking for in graduate assistants. I have coached at the HS level for 5 years, and work for our school system coordinating recreation and other special programs. I am considering going back to school to get my teaching certification, and am wondering if I could do it by being a GA. I'd appreciate any information that anyone could give. thanks 1/16/01 at 11:12 AM by Richard Proctor (randsproctor@aol.com) I am looking to break into coaching high school as a career in NC. Can anyone out there give me some info or some help? 1/15/01 at 12:29 PM by Dreck Baker I have been coaching youth football for the past 3 years and have decided coaching is the thing I want to do with my future. I have a B.S. and I am working on my Texas teaching certificate for secondary social studies. I will also continue in the youth league for at least 3 more years. Unfortunately, I have no playing experience to draw from. I know I would have to start in middle school/jr. high, if I can get hired, for a career coaching. Is it reasonable to think I can make a start in this profession and move up with the experience I will have? Especially considering I will be 35 by the time I get my certificate and start a job search. 1/13/01 at 12:51 AM by Ed Rankin I would like some advice on writing a resume for a head high school football coach. What to include, should I emphasize playing experience, or coaching experience. What should I do if I don't have a lot of experience in years? Any advice would be helpful. 1/12/01 at 10:07 PM by We are changing our defense this year from a 4-4 to a 4-3. Are the reads for the outside LBs simliar? 1/12/01 at 3:13 PM by Joe Am considering installing the Hugh Wyatt double wing offense. Also have read up on Markham's Toss offense. I have Wyatt's tape and have ordered his books. I have also spent some time with a number of local coaches in MN who run the offense. I have been an option coach for years and am wondering if it's worthwhile, or a waste of time, to incorporate some type of option in this offense? 1/11/01 at 6:40 PM by Ken Avent I am searching for info on UW-River Falls mid-line belly play. I thought John O'Grady had written for AFM but I cannot find the article. Thanks. 1/10/01 at 8:01 PM by Mark Kaczmarek We are looking to go digital and would like the advice of all those who done so in the past. Questions like: Number of cameras?
