Year 1 as an Offensive Coordinator taught me more than I could have imagined. Here are my 4 biggest takeaways from the season. ๐งต
1. Keep it Simple. Only install what you can execute. Too many different concepts can create analysis by paralysis. Run your stuff and let your players compete.
โผ๏ธCoach Gruden with a message that can resonate with every coach and player at every single level of football.
๐ฅHe makes four key points. Listen and soak it up.
What Coaching IS vs. What Coaching ISNโT
Coaching IS:
- Teaching life lessons through the game.
- Building relationships with your players.
- Helping players reach their potential.
- Leading with integrity and humility.
- Building culture every day.
Coaching ISNโT:
- Just about the Xโs and Oโs.
- Yelling or criticizing without teaching.
- Focused solely on winning at all costs.
- Ignoring the importance of leadership.
- About you - itโs about the team.
Coaches make a huge difference in the lives of kids.
Be the coach who inspires, leads, and builds character.
Choose to coach.
4.Make it fun. Itโs easy to lose sight of this in practice and games but itโs just that - a game. Run as many trick plays as possible and make sure the kids are enjoying their time. If theyโre not, nothing else matters.

3. Growth Mindset. Self Scout and learn your tendencies so you can adapt. If you know what your most likely to call on third down so does your opponent.
Incredibly grateful for the past four years with Eastern football. A huge thank you to all my coaches, teammates, and supporters who have been part of this journey. Your guidance, friendship, and encouragement have made these years unforgettable.
