Unlimited Breadsti…On-Field Coaches Allowed Immediately

Not many posts on here but the quality of them is high. I think you guys are looking this correctly in that:

1) At some point, too many is a risk.

2) It removes the "but can he recruit?" question for key staff. If you've got bad ass recruiters, let a nerdy coordinator, you know, coordinate.

3) For sure thinks this leads to improved special teams from the more progressive programs. 

4) Many schools will have to make hard choices about paying additional staff or pushing more into NIL. Won't impact Texas or Ohio State and some others, but will many of them.

I think we'll see more micro-positional focus such as IOL and OT specific coaches with one of them being the head OL coach. I could also see a micro staff of 3-4 guys for some rosters working with the 3rd and 4th string players on more specialized development. As the season hits, those guys can wind up just being ground up or ignored and this might help offset that for forward-thinking programs.

Wasn’t there a cap on # of coach headsets per sideline? Because there is (was, going back to Herman era) a shitton of support staffers on the sidelines. I assume they’d have a radio protocol to keep cooks/assistants out of the kitchen.

@closetojumping I like your idea of a scout team/freshman coach.

Now that I read this, it makes me think of a question I had when Texas was going to the Air Raid, which is how do you maximize practice time with 100 players and 22 on at once?

Well, now they have enough coaches to split the field in half and effectively run two sessions of teams at the same time.

Main session keeps the 1s and 2s focused on executing the gameplan and the second session is 3s and 4s developing and preparing in case a 1/2 goes down.

Everyone improves during the week and the preseason.

You laugh, but thanks to the rule change in the NfL that’s probably coming.

here are some other techniques......when the 5'-11" 240# RB comes at you with the ball......brush your 6'-1" 178# DB ass against him lightly

and he can stand on the sidelines screaming "baby arms guys baby arms!!!!!!"....."play with baby arms!!!"

I see an unique potential upside for this as well. I don't know what I don't know so it may well be a stupid take.

I think this aspect could be of a strong value when you look at the 3rd or 4th commit in a class. When that position already has say, two 5 stars ahead of him, there might be reluctance on the part of a 4 or 5 star regarding playing time. That's merited concern. However, selling the increased coaching time for non-starters and better potential portal value from said training is an odd upside to committing. A back up plan built in, if you will. 

Further, I think having coaching focused specifically on scouting team prep, without the obligations of coaching the starters will allow them to be better at that job. 

A specialist, non-Harbaugh 😉, sort of position.
