Just finished packing for a long bus ride to Winnebago. Went over my game day checklist. I miss this part of coaching. The Saturday meeting to exchange, and the Friday returning of films. A little part of our coaching community died with the advent of Hudl.
DO NOT PAY FOR RECRUITING SERVICES
DO NOT PAY FOR MIDDLE MEN
DO NOT PAY FOR STREET AGENTS
Football Recruiting is 100 PERCENT FREE
Parents its all F.O.M.O
FEAR OF MISSING OUT
Scam artists, con men, etc take advantage of it. They care about lining their pockets not about your son.
Trojans - the 2026 IHSA football playoff pairings will be announced this Saturday night. The Trojans are in the playoffs, and you should get your gear ordered. The store will close on Sunday.
Go Trojans!

The longer I have coached the more I have grown to realize that this is what it is really all about. And not just in football. Family. Friends. Job. Community. It all only has meaning if there is love. Agape. This scene may be as near perfect an expression of that as there is.
FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS turns 22 today.
Billy Bob Thornton improvised much of Coach Gaines’ famous halftime speech after asking Peter Berg if he could go off-script. He drew from something that had happened to him the night before.

One version of what winning as a coach and program looks like: A player emailed me to let me know he got a bad grade on a quiz. He then explained how he was going to fix the issues and that he was going to see the teacher.
Go Trojans!
@44DoubleJ@CoachStokowski saw that you reposted this. I am a firm advocate that a hit like this, a gathered defender, should be a personal foul. No effort is made to tackle. Extend arms in a tackling motion and suddenly safety becomes a factor for defender, too, and these hits decrease.
Still waiting for a response from @LemmingReport about post that said "would not recommend Providence Catholic to any football recruit." I got no response. My question for is this - do you make it part of your business to suggest high schools for players to attend/transfer to?
