Last Spring I agreed to help out a former player I am close to who is a HC at a school in our county.
Told him I didn't want to be Sub-Varsity HC or call anything, just be a position coach.
More or less part-time - one day a week in Summer plus camp, In-Season no Thursday walk-thrus or Sunday meetings, no film breakdowns or drawing scout cards.
Simultaneously he hired another coach to be DC with proviso he could install 3-5-3 (you reading this, dcohio?).
We get started and he subtly pawned Special Teams off on me.
After four day Summer camp and six days of practice he is unhappy with both DC and the scheme. He makes decision to go back to 4-3 that he played under me and had run his first two years at present school.
Meets with DC, offers him chance to stay on in that role or position coach. Predictably guy quits.
So guess who is now DC?
Feel like Michael Corleone in "Godfather III" - "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in".

We scored 7 touchdowns during team O the other day. On the offensive side I'd say it's just going ok. On the D side, I am very very concerned.

That's okay, r - Defense is just what you do while Offense rests.

LOL nice...I'm hoping we can score like that in the games because right now I feel like we need to put up 50 to have a shot. In all fairness our JV DC has been out due to his brother tragically and unexpectedly passing away. We have covered him, but being down a coach makes it hard to get sufficient indy time. He will be back today so even though we have our 4-way scrimmage tomorrow, today will be a slowed down teaching day with a lot of Indy time to clean some things up and get our guys right.

Depth is already an issue... Not good.

Had our first scrimmage today. Defense was flying around and caused a couple turnovers. Offense moved the ball first series. However, other team started blitzing and we couldn't pick it up to save our lives. Entire offense grinded to a halt. Me being the OL coach, it was particularly frustrating.

We have a blitz happy defense. Our oline, that I coach, looked like they had never blocked a moving target before. It was like, "Hey, that guy is moving faster than the sled or 4th string guy holding the bag. Plus he hit back coach." Same guys that handled blitzes 6 weeks ago at camp. Plenty of work to do. And, we were 0 for summer school. Sent from my SM-G900V using proboards

We had our scrimmage tournament this weekend.
4 teams, 30 minute scrimmages. We did ok.
1st round we won by a large margin
2nd round we lost badly
3rd round was a wash, tied 21-21.

Had our scrimmage this weekend. Lost. I take this as a potentially positive sign, since I didn't prepare my guys for 9 man blitzes, DL twists, and several juniors playing down in a JV scrimmage.
I've also found out that I hate play calling scripts. I'm way better shooting from the hip...
