Most Monday mornings in most coaching offices, the film session goes the same way. The coordinator pulls up film of the opponent. Twenty minutes later, everybody leaves knowing what the defense does.
You just got promoted to offensive coordinator. Maybe you're stepping into a new job. Either way, you've got something to prove. You've got ideas. Schemes nobody in your region is running.
I sat in a staff meeting yesterday. We were there for three hours. Three hours. And you know what we accomplished? We moved two plays around in our second level coverage and debated whether we should call a play that nobody's good at yet anyway.
You're running a drill in the first half. The coverage is soft, a linebacker runs his gap wrong, and a parent yells from the stands: "That's not how it's supposed to work." Their kid isn't even in the game yet.

If you're going to run Buck Sweep, you need answers before you need plays. Most coaches fall in love with the Buck Sweep without thinking through what happens when the defense takes it away.
Introduction Most football coaches don’t lose games because of bad plays — they lose them because of bad decisions made under pressure. On Friday night, the game moves too fast to think.
We recently broke down the complexities of man coverage in their Coaching 101 podcast, revealing insights for offensive teams looking to overcome defensive challenges.
