Joe Daniel Football

Helping Football Coaches build your Program and Succeed

The Football Coaching Podcast with Joe Daniel

In football, the run game is the foundation of MOST offensive schemes… and rightly so. Ball control, time control, game tempo control all belong to those who can run the ball. So much so that if it isn't working for you, you may find yourself in the losing column more often than you'd like.
 
 In this episode Joe Daniel and Daniel Chamberlain discuss the importance of the timing of your run plays, how you can work within your playbook and get plays to break out, and finding ways to increase your yards per carry without adding talent to your team.

We Can't Run the Ball Effectively

Leadership isn't easy. It isn't natural for everyone. But, there are ways to help your players improve their leadership ability throughout their time in your program (it all starts with confidence and competence.)
 
In this episode, Joe and Daniel discuss what it takes to be a leader, how to improve the leadership of your team, and how that leadership can show up on Friday nights.

Developing Leadership on Your Team

Shifts and motions are a great tool for offenses to use, but that doesn't mean they have to leave you stumped on the defensive side. You need to have adjustments ready for your kids to use when the offense starts moving around.
 
 In this episode Joe and Daniel discuss the keys to keeping a shifts and motions in check by using a complete defensive system, installing your adjustments early in the season, and Drilling players on adjustment communication.

How to Adjust to Shifts and Motions

Resiliency is one of the hardest things to train in High School football. In a world where technology continues to make every day life easier and easier, we have to make kids understand that being uncomfortable and straining won't end them.
 
 In this episode Coaches Joe Daniel and Daniel Chamberlain discuss preparing your players for adversity through practice planning to cover the hard things, preparing them for things that could happen on Friday nights, and getting rid of the "Here we go again" mentality.

How to Coach Your Team to Handle Adversity

Cover 3 may be the best HS coverage possible. Cover 1 probably holds the crown as the best overall coverage, if you have the cats to run it. Cover 3 just answers all the questions, while being simple to understand, run, and problem solve with.
 
On this episode Joe Daniel and Daniel Chamberlain are covering the fundamentals of Cover 3, simplifying your coverage package, solving all the weaknesses, and making Cover 3 look complicated.

Coaching the Fundamentals of Cover 3

You've just scored to get within 1. It's been a hard fought battle up until now, but the game is almost over and you aren't confident overtime is the best option. What do you do?
 
The entire situation above was unnecessary, we were going for 2 no matter what the situation was. If you don't know why, then this episode is for you! Listen to Joe and Daniel as they break down some Two Point Conversion analytics, plays, and gameplans for ensuring when you score, 8 points go on the scoreboard.

Why We Always Go For The Two Point Conversion

"I run six plays, split veer. It's like novocaine. Just give it time, it always works." - Herman Boone
 
Although Coach Boone had T. C. Williams rocking and rolling to a 13-0 season and a state title in 1971 with the Split Veer… Most of us can agree that you likely need more than 6 plays in today's football game. Not that the split veer, wishbone, or other offenses won't work. But, you can at another level to these schemes with a simple RPO or or mixing in a little pass game to keep defenders honest.
 
On this episode Joe and Daniel discuss how many of each play type you should carry in a playbook vs a system, how to decide how much to install each year, and the benefits of keeping things simple.

How Many Plays In a Playbook

Tackling may be the bane of every DC's existence, especially when trying to turn a program around. It's also the part of football that has evolved the most… outside of Travis Kelce type of TEs, and the weird side-arm throwing motion used around the country now. Tackling doesn't have to be a thorn in your paw, you have to simplify your system so it can happen more naturally and in pairs.
 
 On this episode Joe Daniel and Daniel Chamberlain discuss the easiest ways to fix mistakes in tackling, through Umbrella Run Fits, how to do it without running the "Oklahoma Drill" every week, and motivating your players to ATTACK.

Our Tackling is Inconsistent

The season is a GRIND. Not just for you, but for your players. It's a grind for the starting QB, it's a grind for the Sophomore that's having to play up on Fridays, and it's a grind for the freshmen that practice week in and week out to never touch the field on Friday nights. Everyone is exhausted! Don't let it kill your team as you approach the most important games of the year.
 
On this episode Joe and Daniel discuss how to plan your practices to keep kids mentally and physically fresh for game night… during weeks 8-15, How to limit injuries and accelerate your recovery, and how to keep kids focused late in the year.

Effort is Fading Late in Season

A lack of confidence in a football player is almost never an actual lack of confidence. What does that mean? Well, you can't go to the gym and workout your confidence muscles. You can't drink a magic beverage that increases your confidence score. Confidence is built by simple understanding and preparation for what you're about to try to achieve. 
 
On this episode Joe Daniel and Daniel Chamberlain discuss the building of confidence through the streamlining of your scheme. They talk through the Coach Simple Philosophy, Understand your Why (and coaching to ensure your why is achieved), and game planning to give your players the ability to play FAST!

Our Team Doesn't Play with Confidence

Live and die by the sword! Okay, maybe not the sword in this day and age, but Defensive Coordinators have replaced the sword with blitzes, and living and dying by the blitz is very true of some coaching philosophies. The man blitz, or blitzing with any man coverage behind you, is a fairly safe and targeted blitz call to live and die by.
 
On this episode, Joe and Daniel discuss the ins and out of man blitzing, why you need to install a few, and how you can mix them into whatever you're running now.
