Helping Football Coaches build your Program and Succeed

The Football Coaching Podcast with Joe Daniel

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 | FBCP S19E12

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 | FBCP S19E11

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

Coach, your kids are bored… and it's 100% YOUR FAULT. Okay, extreme ownership says everything is your fault, so you already knew that. But, really, you've planned a boring and stagnant practice, so that's exactly how it feels.
 
On this episode Joe Daniel and Daniel Chamberlain are talking about shorter more high energy practices that achieve a goal, motivate athletes, and put the spark back in your team.

Our Practices Feel Stagnant and Boring

"The one kid that keeps DCs up at night," aka the dual-threat QB who is nearly impossible to contain. I bet you've coached against (or been lucky enough to coach with) at least one of these in your career. All of football seems to be going in the direction of putting the most athletic kid at QB and let him get loose!
 
On this episode Joe and Daniel discuss the fundamentals of stopping a dual-threat QB, how to coach pass rush lane integrity, keeping dual-threat guys contained, and how to manipulate the QB with your scheme, so you can control his actions.

We Cant Stop Dual-Threat QBs

Getting Pressure on High School Quarterbacks is quite the challenge. Between terrible fundamentals by HS O-Linemen, to quick game, to QBs generally being run first athletes, you have to really drive home the point of getting D-Linemen to the QB.
 
On this episode Joe and Daniel discuss how to teach your pass rushers to think situationally, how to call your defense to attack the opposition, and the simplicity of using 1-2 pass rush moves for your HS players.

We Struggle to Get Pressure on the Quarterback

At some point we all struggle with it… consistently moving the ball down the field. You lose a player, the defense has you out-manned, there can always be something to slow you down. But, you can do more before the season starts to prevent it from happening.
 
On this episode Joe and Daniel discuss how to get the ball rolling again in your favor. From attacking weakness, to ensuring your game day isn't derailed by a flawed offensive playbook, we're covering it all!

We Can't Move the Ball Consistently

How can you simplify the Play Action Pass for your offense and still be effective? All you need to know is in this episode. 
The Play Action Pass is a critical part of any offensive playbook. You've got base runs, counters, and play action. That creates a simple series based offensive package. 
 
You can go overboard in preparing your Play Action Pass game, though. The key is to get the maximum amount of benefit with the minimal amount of teaching. 
 
Check out this episode of The Football Coaching Podcast to find out how we've simplified the Play Action Pass for the Pistol Power Offense System.
