7,000 coaches

Lou without question these first 5 years has been something for with with many new friendships made and knowledge gained. I certainly appreciate all of you and very excited about reaching the next milestone of 7,000 coches. I'm enjoying California and Clovis High School. Lou, Tiger, Coach Mountjoy and all our other coaches who share and visit the site keep up the great job. Coach Campbell

I ewould also like to say thank you to Coach Campbell. I have only been on the site for about 6 months now and the benefits have been overwhelming. Coach Campbell, your interview packet is a major reason why I am now a head coach. I look forward to visting the site every day. Coaches, keep posting great information.

COACH,

GLAD TO HEAR THAT YOUR OFF TO A GOOD START! It is nice to have a fresh start at times, isn't it? Best of luck and keep 'em working hard!

Coach,

You are just itching so close to 10,000 you can smell it and you will get there! Congrats on having 7,000 members, I too, am proud to be one of those.

Coach Cambell - I have many of your videos and books. I just heard you speak in Long Beach a few weeks ago and picked up your Multiple Fronts Defensive Book. I am just a youth coach in Southern Cal, about 2 hours from Clovis. Is there anyway I can visit you during your spring ball to watch you install your defense? Thanks and email me if I can visit your practices. Thank in advance. JT

Coach Campbell,

Congratulations on 7,000. The massive number of coaches who contribute to this website is a testament to your committment to it (and football). Thank you. You, along with Coaches Easton, Mountjoy, Cella, Nicholson and countless others have had a tremendous impact on me as a coach. Thanks to all of you for all of your help.

Coach Easton,

Our players who are not out for a spring sport are working hard in the weightroom. They seem hungry to improve on last year. We don't have spring ball and actually I'm somewhat thankful for that since I am the head baseball coach, in addition to being the OC in the fall.

We are not making any major changes in our offense, that's for sure. We are a flexbone team and we have had tremendous success. We like to view our offense as a constant evolution of ideas. We are always looking to improve our offensive system, coaching techniques, etc. for the next season. However, we are always striving to maintain the integrity of the flexbone. So, if you looked at our offense from year to year, you would notice very little difference. However, if you looked at our offense 5 years ago and then looked at it today, there would be signs of change.

One part of our offense that we will be expanding upon is our 3-step game. Our QB from last year will be a junior and is a pretty good thrower. He had a lot of success with the 3-step game and he is a good athlete. Therefore, we are expanding our 3-step game to include a "boot" phase, like Coach DeMeo ran at Richmond (and probably still does). Since we are an option team and, of course, have the Play Action Passes that go with it, we will limit, if not eliminate, our drop back game. That way, we have a chance of getting good at the 3-step-boot while not subtracting from our option game.

What do you think? Are we thinking straight? Thanks again for your input and I look forward to your future posts.
