    “Coach, can you give me a ride home?” Pull in the driveway and see 3 cars sitting there.

    JJ McCarthy was a 3 year starter for Nazareth Academy in Illinois and won a state title there. He left because Illinois wasn’t playing football in the fall because of Covid. Let’s not act like IMG developed him. He was already committed to Michigan before he left Illinois.
    There is one school that consistently stands out at producing elite CFB talent. IMG Academy. Let’s reveal IMG’s top 5 prospects of all time.

    Music at practice?? Who’s doing it? Kids seem to enjoy it. Is anyone against it? Just curious…

    If your staff has to meet 6+ hours in high school together over the weekend you suck managing your time! There, I said it. Technology today makes it so easy to not have to do this.

    It may come across as coach is lazy, but I hate long practices. In my experiences anything over 2 hours usually becomes extremely unproductive and then coaches get mad at the players when in all reality it’s our fault for dragging the practice on forever.

    Small school ball coaches are laughing their tails off. Shoot, I think I’ve coached with a roster of less than 20 varsity players before.
    Bowl games being cancelled cause not enough players? 90 on roster and they're down to what - 60-70? High school coaches could figure it out.

    You mean the 18 page lesson plans we had to put together in college for a 45 minute PE lesson was too much!?
    I can’t help but feel like we overcomplicate teaching…

    If my guys up front can beat the hell out of your guys up front I don’t care what their flying 10 number is or a 40 time. Don’t get me wrong, speed is important, but if the hogs are putting that work on your boys then the rest of it is irrelevant. Rant over.
