BadAss Offensive Line Coaches understand that a 16 year old OLineman may be terrible…and the same young man one year later may be dominant. Never give up on a young OL, especially when their body hasn’t caught up with their age. Ive seen horrible young OL become War Daddies!

BadAss quarterbacks overcome adversity and have extremely short memories. All QBs will have a disaster day in their careers…but the great ones forget fast and move on to the next play, next game, next season. Teach your QB to be even keel!!

Hardest defense to prepare against and to move the ball against? 3 man front…Never Blitz…Sound…Bend not break…Physical at point of attack…Gap Sound…Some “ trap covers” to field…Bounces everything to boundaries…These defenses require u to get out of 4 wide and “ BigSet”

BadAss coaches and humans know that everything is made to eventually fall from grace. Alabama loses 2 games on the last play and 50% of the fan base want to fire someone…Never believe all the good things people say about you…nor the bad…Be your best version of you.Fight onward

Yesterday I was given a thorough tour of West Point. Though I have been on campus since August 20 this cadet prayer captured me: "Honor-make us choose the harder right, instead of the easier wrong, and never be content with a half-truth, when the whole can be won." Truly BadAss

BadAss coaches understand that the very moment they think they have football, life, family, or work figured out…they are going to get their ass kicked. When you gloat… you better get ready for an ass kicking…It’s the law of the universe…Best not gloat!

BadAss receiver coaches always 1) coach “exaggerate the lookin to the tuck” 2) don’t tolerate “non-blocking” prima-Dona 3) practice routes and releases and ball catching and ignore “cute drills” 4) teach “Welker” after every catch 5) formation to create favorable matchups 6) Win

BadAss coaches always have a “ go to” scheme when their masterful time consuming game plan FAILS!! Make sure you’ve got a formation and 6 plays you simply can call and your players can execute blindfolded! As a DC…if u can’t play Base D u can’t play D…have a sound base

BadAss NFL coaches don’t blame college coaches when a player isn’t productive. BadAss college coaches don’t blame high school coaches…and BadAss high school coaches don’t blame middle school…Coach Em Up…It’s your job…make ‘em better…that’s what coaching is!

BadAss Coaches understand as the season progresses adjustments have to be made…Who makes plays? What receivers block and who refuses to block? What works? What doesn’t? Who plays hard? Who doesn’t? Championship Coaches make hard decisions and admit when wrong. Adjust or Lose

BadAss Offensive linemen remember 2 simple things in 2022 and you’ll be better than you ever imagined: 1) win the battle of leverage(helmet below helmet) with eyes up and focused 2) win the first punch on each play…first punch wins most fights and most football plays
