Every successful HS coach needs a strong right hand man that will be loyal to him & never undermine him. If you look at some of the best programs, they have loyal, smart Number 2 guys. WHO DONT WANT TO BETRAY THE HC. Too many assistant coaches with personal agendas
Hot take:
You’re team periods are ineffective when you’re scout team is significantly overmatched and/or not fitting like the opponent.
You’re better off going half line or investing more time into group/indy.
This is why it’s so important for DB’s to learn to crossover run, chin to front shoulder.. eyes/arms leading feet
-WR breaks outside you have him pinned between you/SL. Just snap your head & armbar or chest to chest
-He breaks inside just drive on ball
“Fundamentals Before Scheme” Press Man Technique
Press man is one of my favorite techniques, but you have to be technically sound to execute it at a high level. From a cornerback’s perspective, when covering the outside wide receiver,
I always emphasize the following:
Alignment:
We split the wide receiver’s crouch, aligning slightly inside.
Area of Focus: Our eyes are locked in on the wide receiver’s waist down.
I stress “feet first.” We play with our feet first, and then we bring our hands into play. I make my DBs take motor mirror steps to develop active feet. Once our feet match the wide receiver’s footwork, we then bring our hands into play.
In the drills below, you will see eye discipline, active feet, motor mirror technique, and finally, the use of hands.

Kelvin Sampson with an impassioned call for University of Houston pride at crowded Coaches' Caravan event in Sugar Land: "I don't know about this commuter school bullshit... We're the University of Houston. We're the University of Houston. Don't you take a backseat to nobody.
"Don't talk to me about U of T. Or Texas A&M. We just played Texas A&M, right. How'd that go?
". . . We have respect for everybody in this state. We have respect for everybody in this conference. But we don't take a backseat to nobody. And neither should you.
"Quit acting like these teams are up here. No, they're not. You're up here. Start acting like it. Start supporting this program."
