2016 came to an end Friday night...with a 51-19 loss in the 2nd round of the playoffs...In Indiana we have an everybody qualifies for the playoffs system so our record ended up 2-9...Not real happy with how our season went and not talking about record..I feel we had 7/8 win talent but lack of discipline from Day 1 in the summer led to a season worth of personal fouls, ejections, couple players being kicked off, and just total underachievement all around. I stand at a crossroads this off season...I like teaching at this school...but coaching wise I dont see anything changing.....How can I suggest to our HC that we need to be more strict without sounding like I am attacking the way he is running the program?

Hard to do that at all. We played 8 man and I got the boot this season but for the past 3 years I had wanted to approach our HC and tell him he played his D way too soft. He would have our Corners and Safety play 10-15 yards deep and left us wide open for 6-8 yard gains on run plays. Granted we hardly ever gave up big pass plays but we also regularly gave up 200+ yards rushing. He also would chew out oir linebackers routinely for not getting off their blocks and making a play. But that is hard to do when you have a Tackle blocking down on you and your fighting off both him and the backside pulling Guard and the lead blocking FB. Our Safety led the team in tackles 2 years in a row but that was because he would run down the RB on a toss sweep or power to the outside. I've dealt with this conundrum for a while. Never easy.

Defensive Ends were told to play 3 feet outside of the End and not let anything outside. Teams just ran up the middle off guard and wouldnt even block the DE because he was so far out they knew he couldn't make a play. Almost all of our tackles were made by our CBs and S. Typical play we couldn't stop would be out of I formation. I'd call it 34 G Power.
C and PSG double NG. PST chips the DE and moves down to PSLB. BSG pulls and kicks either the DE or CB, first threat to show on the outside of the hole. BST blocks BSLB. FB leads up the 4 hole usually sealing off the PSLB.
Our defense could not stop this play in the style of defense they were told to play in. Keep in mind I didn't want to change the defense. Just the technique they played.
I tried to talk to him once about it by dropping hints but he was set in his ways.
