Coaches, please stop sending me tape that has clips at 1.25 speed. Yes, we can tell, and no, it doesn't help your athletes. That HS QB's release is not on par with guys in the NFL and refs don't move that quick anywhere 😂😂
OLB//DE Prospects - please show us that you can take on blocks and set the edge!! Watching 5 straight clips of you running unblocked down the line to tackle the dive isn't a real highlight - unblocked defenders should always make the play! Show us you can bully OL!!
If y'all only knew how these two guys came to work everyday!! No circumstance to challenging, no situation to big. Just two ball players willing to suffer well and not look at the scoreboard until it hits 0:00.

Recruits - be sure to circle yourself at the beginning of each clip!! We want to see you move from the snap of the ball to the echo of the whistle! If you go out of the frame, circle yourself twice!
1st coaching job was a volunteer gig at Lochapoka HS where Jeff Klein was the OC. Had been at Auburn for 5 years & owned 0 red clothing. He gave me this 1/4 Zip day of the first game. Said "figured youd need this" with a smile on his face. Gone to soon. Pray for his Wife & Kids.
How I'm pulling into the 205 today!! Can't wait to go by the schools back home and see the ballers produced in the Yellowhammer State!! And as always, It's Nice To Have You In Birmingham!!
High School Coaches and Recruits, I encourage you to cut on the NDSU vs ILL. ST quarterfinal game to see what FCS football is about! Great players competing in a great environment! If you haven't watched an FCS game all season, it's a great one to catch!!
And HS Coaches on this thread - please add your location to your bio's!! Makes it way easier for every college staff to figure out who's area yall are in and how we can best recruit y'all's schools. (I'm an Alabama guy, its always y'all and never you guys)
Texas High School Coaches - keep hitting that's follow button and I'll follow back! Been looking at prospects all morning and love the talent in the Lone Star State! Feel free to email your prospect sheets to abrown121

BMW DRILL - Designed to make your edge rushers turn the corner like a European sportscar!
Coaching Points:
-Stay tight to the cones
-Get hips through and facing the Q
-Hands and hips work together
-Must get inside shoulder & hip past the punch
No job to big or to small! Carry the cans, set up the cones, & grab the fellas a shot of water if need be!! As a better ball coach than me said "happy to be a door holder. -

thankful for these men, thankful for this opportunity
Quick PSA - don't expect applause for doing the bare minimum!! No ones clapping for the fish when they swim or the birds when they fly. Show up, go to work, and stack consistent days. Gotta grind and grind before there's glory.
You haven't really GA'd yet if you haven't smashed at least 2 wireless mouses in a moment of frustration. There's a reason I Amazon these things two at a time.
I said it for the Semi's and I'll say it now: Coaches, Athletes, & Parents - turn your TV's to ABC to see the pinnacle of the FCS! This championship game is always a fun one to watch & two great programs going at it today!! Don't go all season without catching an FCS game!
Camp day here in the 404!! Can't wait to see the talent that shows up to the Flats today! All y'all ballers from back home make sure to holler at me today - would love to get to shake yalls hands and put a face with a name!!
Hopping on zoom tomorrow at 12:30CST to talk OLB play and 3-4 pressures - anyone's more than welcome to join. Will be posting the room # under this tweet shortly!
PSA if you ever stumble into me ever talking LB play at a clinic, just be ready to see

on the teach tape. Unbelievably good tandem. Lucky to have gotten to work with them - 'til the wheels fall off
@Bigtime__ace
Incredibly thankful for the opportunity to talk ball!! Make sure yall get on Our Coaching Network and set that account up to give the full presentation a listen!!
Here we go for our Final GA Talks Session of the night with
@CoachAlecBrown
talking Linebacker Eye Discipline!
Full talk will also be available to re-watch in the morning at ✅
The example of what it means to attack the opportunity to be apart of something bigger than yourself. Thankful for your buy in, thankful for your leadership. Someone's getting a warrior!!
This entire sport is about one thing: Trust. Do you trust your teammates? Do you trust your coaches? Can they trust you? It can seem unsettling & like alot is up in the air. Life always transcends football. Who do you entrust your life to? Psalm 3:5 provided me an answer.
Draft week mood !! Someone's getting a field general ready to run a defense with
@Bigtime__ace
Was always about the preparation, never the results. Until the wheels fall off my guy !!

Edge Rushers - this is what it looks like to "load the toe" and maximize your get off!! Notice the weight transitioning forward & to the ball of his outside foot - loaded and no false step. Know the opponents snap indicators, know the situation, and maximize every rush chance!!
With the free time we've recently ran into, Ive been using it to watch a lot of tape & two things keep showing up for defensive football, no matter the level or scheme. Make tackles in your gap, & play your balls off, - the rest sorts itself out! It's about loving football!!
Athletes - don't be scared of the long game! Everything worth having takes time. And no, time isn't 6 weeks or 6 months - it may take two or three years to break into the role you want!! Don't compare your timeline to someone else's, everyone's path is different. Stay The Course.
High School Recruits - 2 of the most sought after Line Backers in the portal were a D II & FCS All American! If you're not getting the offers you think you deserves, the system is designed for you to put out tape proving your worth! Guys that can go will always be found!!
What it's all about! Football builds some of the strongest relationships out there. Couldnt have been more honored to stand beside my best friend on his wedding day. Same guy who spoke the love of Christ to me standing in stretch lines at 6 AM's when we're playing!!
#morethanball
It's about the brotherhood and maximizing the relationships God has put in your life for all seasons. Great seeing my former teammate, and getting to compete across sidelines today!!
@danzey53
Guy's started like 5 or 6 years in the league and still plays like this!! You're a freshmen in college and think it's ok to trot to the ball?? And you want to talk about going to The League??? 😂😂😂
A few days after our 2020 season has ended, I realize how long my list of things I'm thankful for is! The top of that list - Opportunity! The opportunity to play & the opportunity to Coach! Immense gratitude to
@EKUWWells
& the administration to get it done!

E+R=O case study from Saban:
• Prioritize the main Outcome (to win).
• See Events as they are, not as you think they should be (Spread, RPO, Fast Tempo, Evolving Rules).
• Adjust your Response to achieve the main Outcome given the reality of Events.
“he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit"
Titus 3:5
those first 3 words are why a rebel like me can even utter a prayer, much less sing His praise. He Saved Us
Unpopular tweet of the day: if you're feelings are hurt by college coaches talking to the next class, remember, you're competing with 5 classes worth of great players in college!! Better be able to work when the lights and cameras are off and glory is tough to come by!!
Love this aspect of the game - position for every body type!! However, SPEED does matter, regardless of size! First thing that jumps off tape is if a guy is twitched up or not!!
RECRUITs: SIZE DOESN’T MATTER
In football there is a POSITION for your SIZE everywhere on the field.
SHORT or TALL | SKINNY or WIDE
There is a position which fits YOU!
#Recruiting101
Everyone in this business wants to be great. As a ball coach, your real measuring stick comes not only in wins & losses but talent to production. Does your players production surpass their talent level, or fall short? Can you get more outta less or does your talent not show up?
"If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could? But with you there is forgiveness, that you may be feared. I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I hope."
Psalm 130: 3-5
Fired up to get to talk on Eye Discipline for OLB's and appreciate
@OurCoachingNet
for the opportunity!! Y'all be sure to register for the free week and check out their content!!
Any overhang defender // 1st backer outside of the box can benefit from this!! Great drill for the summer when you're in shorts. Clean Eyes = Clean Games!!
If only y'all saw the preparation every damn day from
@Bigtime__ace
y'all would understand !! One snap at a time, every time, until the ball bounces your way!!
motivation < discipline
Discipline gets up at 4:45 because work has to be done by 7. Motivation sleeps in because the video was only cool last night.
Discipline stacks days.
Motivation stacks minutes.
Can't help but love good defensive football when you see it!! Corner working his 'Sail' technique (hinge/sink) in cover 2 in the Shot Zone (-45 to +40) and drives the out route perfectly! Trust your tech, trust your Coaches, take it the ball to the bricks!!
Seems like there's more videographers than guys that can really play now. Seen some great transitions between clips and shots of guys head nodding in warm ups to never see a single full in game rep 😂😂 we know you got hawked when that clip cuts fast
