As many who frequent this blog know, I have been really really lucky to be a part of the Timpview High School program. In my opinion, it is probably one of the best run programs I have ever seen and that has been the reason for our success (Coach Wong has seen this blog so I gotta do a little butt kissing, I kid I kid).
One of the things though that has stood out to me is how this program is built. If I were to take over a program I would institute many of things that we do at Timpview immediately. Yesterday is a great example of how we foster camaraderie amongst the players...

Platooning Part 2
I wrote a post in Aug. of last year about how I was sold on platooning. Well after this last 2009 season and state title I am sold on it even more. Let me explain a few reasons why last year sold it even more for me.
At the start of the 2009 year we had questions on offense about our starting QB. In fact first couple games of the season we were rotating QB's (Trevor Brown and Jeremiah Burr) as we tried to figure out the starter. In the first game of the year we lost our starting back and had to move one of the QB's to the running back position. Here was a kid that...

29 Seniors Signed to Play College Football
Reading this story on ESPN I was impressed that this school was able to get so many kids an opportunity to play football but also get them help to attend college and get their education. This story is one of the reasons I got involved with coaching football, I want to help develop young men and make a difference in their lives.
STONE MOUNTAIN, Ga. -- In a world of misplaced priorities and snap judgments, it's easy to dismiss Stephenson High School as the program that can't win a state championship...

Increasing the March Madness Field is a Bad Idea
So I guess the most recent talk has been to increase the March Madness field to 96 teams. My first question to that is why? What is wrong with the way it is currently? 96 teams to me seems to be so much and really how do you determine who the next 32 teams should be? Should teams with losing records be allowed into the field since they play a tough schedule? Gene Wojciechowski I think best sums it up in his article on the matter on why the current field of 65 is just...

Watched the Olympics Opening Ceremony Tonight.
I thoroughly enjoyed it except for the technical error at the end but still it was a good opening. I watched as the people entered and I felt it reaffirm to me more that I want to keep coaching. I want to be able to make an influence in someone's life.
It is truly sad that the young man died before the ceremony even opens during what is supposed to be a joyous moment. What truly stood out to me were those that came with no chance of gaining a medal that still enjoy their time there as they can participate with athletes from other countries and share the bond of athletic competition....

Saints Super Bowl Win
Well I don't think there is much to say but that the Saints made the plays to win the game. It was a great game plan to keep Peyton Manning off the field for 70 minutes of real time.
The great call of the game was the onside kick starting the second half. It was a great time to call it and caught everyone unprepared. I wonder how the party is going to be in New Orleans? I will write more later after tonight. It was just an amazing game to watc...

Signing Day 2010
So National Letter of Intent Day is coming up on Wed. and as far as I know 5 of our boys are signing letters of intent to D1 schools. In fact one of them has already headed to Notre Dame to get started with the spring. I will see if I can get over to the school on Wed. and visit with them while they are signing these documents. I am proud of the players that have earned these scholarship offers.
