No longer just a coordinator

Over the past few years, I've been an assistant coach in a local church kids' flag football league, helping out a buddy of mine who was a head coach.

 

Well this season, they had a lot more kids join up at the 6th to 8th grade level, and they needed additional head coaches.

 

And thus, after several seasons as a hot coordinator who kept getting passed over, I finally got a head coaching job B)

 

Have to say the job interview was pretty rigorous.

 

"You wanna coach a team this year?"

 

"Sure."

 

"Good!  Why don't you coach this team?"

 

"Okay,  I'll do it."

 

Luckily, I kept my cool, answered the questions, said the right things and made it through the process.

 

So as of now, I run my own practices, write and call my own plays, mentor my quarterback, make in-game adjustments, give my own speeches that the kids pretend to listen to...the whole nine yards.

 

It's been a blast so far :D

Do you have a LT?

 

I have a quarterback, a runningback and four receivers (and/or five defenders, depending on who has the ball)

.

If I did have a left tackle, he'd have to stay out of the sight lines,  My sixth grader quarterback would make Drew Brees look like Goliath :lol:

If you need to juice the kids up lmk I have a friend of a friend.

He has apple and orange juice. ;)

 

My quarterback might need some HGH :unsure:

 

When I say he's about half the size of the rest of the team, I'm not exaggerating much.  I'm not sure if he's reached four feet tall yet.

 

So why is he the quarterback?

 

Because he's got a rocket launcher for an arm, throws a perfect spiral and if I tell him "look off the safety", he knows what I mean :lol:

Wow... took you less time to get a head coaching job than Ron Rivera.

 

Screw the playbook, you better start working on your repertoire of cliche answers for the reporters.

 

"One week at a time"

"It is what it is"

"We play all four quarters"

 

I plan to use the Belichick approach (i.e. mostly mumble and answer nothing).

No wildcat? Give us the playbook

 

Prove to me you don't work for Belichick first.

 

 

Do you deflate the balls?

 

No. but that's been a running gag.  Most of the kids know the story.

 

One of our other coaches said to the group, "Tell Tom Brady if these kids can play with fully inflated footballs, so can he" :lol:

      Panthers NFC South Champs!

      Well we won 5 games and it took the worst defense in NFL history to do that.  IF we can stay relatively healthy and Bryce plays just like he did (not even saying better) after the benching you could arguably debate 9-10 wins. I wouldn't hold my breath but I wouldn't be shocked.  The defensive improvement should be remarkable actually. Same corners, new dline, DB's return, updated safeties, same LB's ...+ the Dline's improvement should make every position about 25% better. If that's good enough to stop atleast 2 touchdowns more than we were able to last season then yea we're about to suprise alot of people imho.

      Before Shadeur Sanders there was Ryan Mallet

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      The Sanders family's problem is that they raised Shedeur to have the exact same mindset and persona as Deion, and then used Deion as the example as to why it's not a problem.  Even in that public interview at the combine, he gave some answer like, "do you know who my dad was and the things they said about him and he was still a HOFer?" The problem is his dad was a CB and sometimes a WR, the two positions in the NFL where not only nobody cares if you have that outward persona, in many cases it's something teams look for because WRs and CBs need to have that mentality out there on an island. His interview answer that's been going around about where you see yourself in 5 years, and his response of being Mayor of that town and laughing is a perfect example of it. There is no issue if that's your QB's mentality, we all know how Cam was.  The problem is there is a different between mentality and outward persona, and that just flat out doesn't work for a QB to have that persona, Cam didn't even do it. There are a lot of QB's who have that mindset, in particular, Burrow right now strikes me as that kind of guy.  But he still knows how to flip that QB Switch and tones it back when speaking publicly and is able to be the face of the franchise. Shedeur and Deion never seemed to grasp that for some reason, and it's a problem. Have you ever heard reports of GM's being asked by defensive players on their team to draft a QB solely because they wanted to crush them in practice? That's wild to even think of, let alone hear about actually happening.  QB is unlike any position in all of sports, whether fair or not, you have to act differently when speaking in public or on camera, and Shedeur just doesn't, if anything, he leans even more into his Deion like persona.
