📍 St. Michael @ West Feliciana

Grateful to get a lot of time up in St. Francisville on Thursday, including wrapping up the night with a couple solid squads scrimmaging.

Already shared some about West Fel , but the Warriors went up and won the night. Got after it defensively. And some good weapons offensively from the run game to QBs getting the ball to a variety of receivers in a variety of ways.

THE GREATEST DEFENSE OF ALL-TIME 🐘

Alabama’s defense in 2016 was ranked #1 in rushing defense, #1 in scoring defense, and #1 in total defense 🤯 SIX players were drafted in the First Round of the NFL Draft.

- 998 total tackles
- 118 tackles for loss
- 55 sacks
- 16 interceptions
- 17 forced fumbles
- 13 fumble recoveries
- 11 total touchdowns

Will we ever see a defense like this in CFB again? 🤔

As an AD, you learn quickly that the loudest voices are not always the right ones. Many are driven by personal agendas, not the mission of the program. Volume does not equal value. Stay anchored to the people and principles that actually move your program forward.

Pack the Hook/Seam LB Drill

Linebacker Pass Game Fundamentals

- This is the lift and sift portion of the LB pass drop
- Lock out the arm nearer to the receiver
- Aim for the pec of the receiver
- When you use the inside arm, you lose square
- Keep shoulders and hips square
- Do not chase re-routes
- If the receiver is in the LB's cylinder, then re-route

Erica Komisar just gave parents one of the most practical pieces of advice I’ve heard:

Before you say “no” to your child, first acknowledge how they feel.

She explains that an emotionally regulated, healthy parent produces a healthy child. A healthy parent has real self-esteem (not grandiosity), can stay calm in a storm, and is sensitive and empathic.

When your kid wants sweets before dinner and starts screaming, don’t jump straight to “No!”
Instead: “I can see you really want that packet of sweets. I know it’s hard because you want it so badly… but you can’t have it before dinner.”

Then stay with them — empathize, set the boundary, empathize again.
It’s called the “broken record” with empathy.

The mistake many parents make is skipping the empathy and going straight to the “no.”
That leaves the child feeling unseen and escalates the meltdown.

It’s Parenting 101, but it’s incredibly powerful.

What’s one situation where acknowledging your child’s feelings first changed how they responded?

[Camus @newstart_2024]

“If you tell a child to do something five times, your chance of abusing that child just went up significantly.”

Dr. Daniel Amen drops a hard parenting truth on Jay Shetty’s podcast.

Instead of repeating yourself and getting frustrated, set a clear expectation the first time: “Sweetheart, take out the trash in the next half hour. If you don’t, here’s the consequence.”

No threats. No drama. Just calm follow-through.

It teaches respect, reduces parental anger, and protects the relationship.

Loving discipline isn’t soft — it’s clear, consistent, and kind.

What’s one rule or boundary you wish you had (or had enforced) growing up?

[eric smith @OLCoachSmith63]

This was an excellent answer by Coach Hafley detailing a few of the different ways you can be 'multiple' on defense without necessarily boxing yourself into labels.

Hardest job in high school football:
Calling scout team offense.

No glory.

No stats.

Just trying to simulate a playoff caliber offense with kids whose main goal is surviving inside run period 🤣

The Winning Equation 🧪🏈

S + T − X = W

Sacks + Turnovers − Explosive Plays = Wins

Great defense is built on creating negative plays and eliminating explosives. If a defense records a sack on a drive, there is a 93% probability the offense will punt the football. Force offenses to drive the field and eventually mistakes become inevitable.

That’s the philosophy behind the 3 Safety Defense Architecture — eliminate space plays, create chaos for the offense, and let the Rover become the ultimate chess piece.

Chesney on Thursday said good football players can’t be “bad at life.” I asked OC Dean Kennedy about it.

“If you’re going to be bad in the classroom, you’re going to be late for academics, we can’t trust on third and 7 to run the correct route. … You have to attack everything.”
