🚨 Parents of High School Football Recruits
One of the biggest mistakes I see in recruiting is when parents try to take over the process instead of supporting it
College coaches are evaluating much more than film, statistics, and athletic ability. They are evaluating how a prospect communicates, handles adversity, interacts with others, and whether the family will be a positive fit within the program
Over the years, I have seen talented players miss opportunities because of poor communication, unrealistic expectations, social media issues, constant parental involvement, or simply a lack of understanding of how recruiting actually works
Some of the biggest mistakes parents make:
🔹 Speaking for their son during the recruiting process
🔹 Contacting coaches excessively
🔹 Treating camp invites as scholarship offers
🔹 Inflating height, weight, or testing numbers
🔹 Comparing their son to other recruits
🔹 Focusing too much on rankings and social media attention
🔹 Ignoring academic requirements
🔹 Chasing every camp without a recruiting plan
🔹 Becoming overly focused on NIL or one specific level of football
🔹 Creating unnecessary drama with coaches, programs, or teammates
A camp invite is not an offer. Rankings do not determine a player’s future. More camps do not automatically lead to more opportunities. And playing at the highest level possible is not always the same as finding the right fit
The best recruiting families:
✅ Allow their son to take ownership of the process
✅ Communicate professionally and respectfully
✅ Focus on academics as much as football
✅ Stay realistic about recruiting opportunities
✅ Trust the evaluation process
✅ Keep the focus on long term development and fit
Parents should focus on helping their son become the best student, athlete, and young man possible. Be supportive, be realistic, trust the process, and allow your son to take ownership of his recruitment
The families that navigate recruiting the best are usually the ones who stay humble, stay professional, and understand that recruiting is about finding the right fit, not winning a popularity contest
🏈 At the end of the day, the goal is not to win recruiting.
It is to help your son find the right school, earn a degree, continue playing football, and create opportunities that will benefit him long after his playing days are over
Loyalty is the cornerstone of a strong staff.
You may disagree, engage in spirited debates, and even get into it when game planning or making key decisions as a staff.
But when we walk out the door, you better have each other’s backs.
Nothing kills a staff more than the inability to address issues with one another and support the vision of the program and the TEAM. It’s not about you. There is no person more important than the TEAM.

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
@thinkorswim0712@DezBryant this is considered a logical fallacy (an ad populum appeal to the masses) because a popular belief isn't automatically true. using a rhetorical strategy to make their personal opinion or observation sound like an undeniable fact, validated by the majority
One of the easiest ways to identify a mature football program is to listen to how they communicate.
In February, coaches may need a full sentence to explain a defensive adjustment. By October, that same adjustment might be communicated with a single word. The objective is not to sound smart. The objective is to move information faster.
The 49ers’ front identification system in the attached example is a perfect illustration. Rather than describing every alignment individually, they created a numbering structure where the first digit identifies the front family and the second digit identifies linebacker structure and support placement. A call like “25 Sup” instantly communicates information that would otherwise require multiple sentences. The language becomes compressed because the understanding underneath it has already been built.
The same thing happens everywhere in football.
An offensive coordinator may spend spring ball teaching what an Over front looks like, how the 3-technique changes run fits, where the bubble exists, and how protection math changes. By midseason, the quarterback simply hears “25” and immediately understands front structure, linebacker alignment, run-game leverage, protection implications, and potential pressure indicators.
That is organizational efficiency.
The best systems are not necessarily the systems with the most information. They are the systems that package information into the fewest possible words while preserving clarity.
By the middle of the season, great offenses are not communicating more.
They are communicating less while understanding more.
@DezBryant "Stay woke" originally meant staying aware of injustice and protecting your community. Somewhere along the way, people turned it into an insult. We need to reclaim our word.
