If I were a coach, I'd...

[SONofa47straitSOONER]

- Remind players of subtle clues opposing teams give that tip off the play; e.g. when o-lineman don't bother to touch the ground, it's usually a pass; when receivers don't bother to get good footing so they can take off faster, then it's usually a run; and when a QB over-exaggerates a hand-off, it's usually a fake, e.g. Alert all players of such and practice not doing this so that we're not guilty of tipping off our opponent.
- When kneeling at the end of first half, run the fake kneel play: Line up two tight with running backs prepared to protect the QB. When he takes the snap, he gets close to kneeling but doesn't - quickly pulls up and tosses it to the streaking TE.
- Have former cat-quick start-stop players as GA's to share their gift with the current running backs. (Hard to coach what you can't do.)
- Offer ROCKSTAR a sponsorship promoting a before-game energy drink. (Sure gives me a little pep in my step.)
- Spoon feed each and every player creatine (until NCAA specifically says it's illegal!).
- Practice running full speed towards out-of-bounds to make the tackle, then noticing the white line and NOT hitting the opponent when he's out of play.

Alright!

[toast]

- Be 100-0 with multiple national championships because I would always call the right play and only sign 5-star players.

[starclassic tama]

-my players would ALWAYS have swagger, never play not to lose, and we would never go into a shell

It might keep them awake. I'm not sure it will do much for their pep, as they are pretty excited to be playing anyway.

[Lott's Bandana]

I did notice our center lowering his butt 1 sec before he snapped it in shotgun during the USU game, to the point where I could "mark" the snap on every play.

He hasn't done it since.

[toast]

I did notice our center lowering his butt...

said in the manliest way possible of course...

[Leroy Lizard]

I would:

1. Light a fire under their asses.
2. Mix up the playcalling.
3. Stay on the throttle.
4. Increase the intensity

[XingTheRubicon]

..hand off 8 yards deep to a scat back and have him run right up the center's a**

Of course!

I'm not positive about in college football, but it's illegal to do a "fake kneel" in the NFL.

[Jboozer]

pay them to play for me, give them steroids, beat the crap out of everyone I play, and the memories would last forever even if the NCAA took them away.

Good thing I'm not a coach

[Breadburner]

I would let them drink at half time....

[Eielson]

This thread has completely changed my outlook on football.

[gaylordfan1]

Man, has anyone called Stoops with this stuff? It's cutting edge!

[Crucifax Autumn]

I'd have 'em lift weights.

[sooner59]

I would have my team play football.....in a great way.

[Crucifax Autumn]

Now THAT'S coaching!

[pappy]

not to bring down your great coaching ideas but the "fake a knee" play is illegal now. you can fake the clocking it play but not the kneel down.

I saw florida try it against some team either last year or the year before and they were flagged for it.

its stupid sorry.

[oudavid1]

I always wondered if i was the only person on this board who really really wants to coach serious football.

Yep, just me. :D

I told your girlfriend that it's the same way in the bedroom. Why didn't you break her of this already?

This thread confirms coaches thoughts about the people in the stands.

^^^THIS. Fire Bob Stoops! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[Soonermagik]

I bet you're a monster in that Madden game.

[sooner518]

trick plays every play!!! Murray would throw at least 10 passes a game. Broyles would have a couple throws. Triple reverses! Fake spikes! Direct snap to the halfback. fumblerooski!!!!!!

Gawd I would be the best coach Boise St has ever seen

I was going to mention this too. I believe Captain Leach tried to do this last year against Texas and they whistled it dead because he was in the motion of kneeling.

[sooner_born_1960]

demand 110% all the time.

[Tulsa_Fireman]

I'm gonna kick it up a notch.

Demand TWO HUNDRED PERCENT. ALL THE TIME.

That way each and every person is like two people giving 100 percent, giving me the strategic advantage of having 22 people on the field at once.

I WIN.

[Breadburner]

Dont let'em have any water...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Leroy Lizard]

Twister lessons for special teams.

[BoulderSooner79]

... grow a beer belly and man boobs and take lessons on working the refs.

[cccasooner2]

Forfeit our games. All you meanies are too tough for my squad.

[Leroy Lizard]

Bring Holieway, Stell, Collins, and Perry out of retirement and run the wishbone!

[EstablishedSooner1967]

Be 100-0 with multiple national championships because I would always call the right play and only sign 5-star players.

you would have never got Sam Bradford.. 3* your fired!

[Pricetag]

I'd ban mohawks and painting pretty pictures on your face with eye black.

[agoo758]

Dont let'em have any water...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go back to Florida Atlantic where you belong......

[NatureBoy]

FAIL...don't quit your day job.

If you have a job, that is...

[btb916]

I'd have 'em lift weights.

High rep sets of curls with 10 pound dumbbells.

[oudivesherpa]

I'd have a Billionaire backer that would give me all the facilities we want.
I'd have the best offense in the world!
I'd be forty and a man.
And I'd bitch on why we still can't beat OU!

Oops, wrong board.

You forgot the part about the prairie wind brushing your skin.

[oumartin]

I do like the wishbone idea leroy!

that and mix in some ninja formation and the bubble screen!

oh, and when you have the ball. avoid those trying to tackle you.

football really is an easy sport.

[SoonerPr8r]

My players don't need to stretch!

[Leroy Lizard]

Why do you want to invite those other formations to the game. You really don't love the wishbone, do you? :(

[reddfoxx]

I'd design a twister mat for every formation so all the players would be lined up correctly for every play.

[KantoSooner]

Ah, Twister! Had a friend who used to travel with a Twister set in his suitcase. Interesting guy.
Popular with the ladies.

[SoonerLB]

I'd lock the whiney-azzed trouble makers in the shed and cuss the rest of 'em like a drunken sailor! I'm getting cranky in my old age ya know! :D
