Could you coach a HS football team?

You’re the HC. You have a full year to prepare. Could you finish .500? I think offensivly I could put points on the board. I’d struggle on defense.

No one can jump into a HC job without experience running a program or being an assistant. There is a lot that goes into those jobs on a daily basis.

If I had great assistants who Understood how to teach technique and structure game plans yes I could give motivational speeches, use my time puts correctly, know when to go for it on 4th down.

Much more difficult than you think unless you have some coaching in your background. It's alot more than just telling a kid block here and block there. Offensive line play is all about instilling rules based on the defensive alignment they get on any given play. Just because you call the same play as the one before doesn't mean they block the same guy. HS football offenses are much more complicated than you think.

No, I'm not a rah rah guy, bad in public interviews. I wouldn't even know what to say to the team pre-game or halftime speech 
The only workout routine I know is 1980s HS football workouts and now GreySkull

Ha!
If someone else wanted to do all the work and let me show up on Friday night for the glory, I’d be down though.

Most HS coaches run the same 12-20 plays over and over and over.
If you just fundamentally drilled those to death like Vince Lombardi did and never turned the ball over and had a kicker, you could probably win a 3-5 games each year on just that alone.

Am I coaching Catholic High level talent or Woodlawn High level talent? Also don't think I'd connect with inner city kids. I do think I could coach a good academic private school.

The level of ball and roster you have changes a lot.
Am I coaching Single A and have some stud dual threat QB? Then yeah, I can probably even break .500 by a good margin. Am I in a super competitive Texas league where I'm facing a bunch of future D1 guys every week? Probably not.

I mean, I coached our fraternity flag football team to the semis when we hadn’t won a game in 2 years before that. Give me a decent squad and a good OC and we could get to .500
Posted on 2/5/24 at 9:11 am to braves21
If I had a solid OC and DC yes. Veer fear.

had a kicker
I am amazed at the number of schools in the BR area that don't have a single competent kicker on their roster and who continue to lose games 14-12 or 28-26.
It can't be that hard to find one kid in a school who can kick a football 20 yards. On the last day of school, tell your center, holder, and kicker to get together every day during the summer and just practice extra points. It would make a huge difference.

Depends on what you come in with and what your strategy is.
One of my old coaches used to be head coach at a small rural school. Good-great athletes but the kids were so fricked behaviorally and academically that it was hard to harness that on the field.
Same coach used to be at a private school at a similar level. Athletes generally weren’t as good but you had players who would show up, have work ethic, and be able to execute what you wanted them to do. How much that worked depended on the opposition and their own skill players.

We used to just get the best Junior or Senior soccer player at my HS. The accuracy may not have been the greatest, but there was no returning KOs against us and he could always kick for distance
To OP, I wouldn't do that to those HS kids. The best I could do is maybe WR coach, or DB assistant.

It's more about the Jimmy's and Joe's than the x's and o's. But you still need to be competent as a leader to keep them all on the train. Otherwise, it will be a shite show.

Most kickers are soccer players primarily. You tend to get guys who are playing select soccer year round who can’t make the games or the coaches won’t accept a guy coming in part time just to kick.

What's my budget on coordinators and players?
Posted on 2/5/24 at 9:28 am to braves21
Yep I would be ceo head coach and hire the top two coordinators in the state. Greg Williams running my defense and Pete Carmichael running my offense

I coach HS XC.
Hell no. I know a decent amount about football but theres so much other crap that goes into it. At least with XC my roster is relatively small and I have less behavior stuff to deal with because XC kids are mostly chill. Football is a different story.
