What coaches do during the off season

[northerncowboynation]

I was a pretty decent coach back in the day. Never was able to master the clapping.

Yes so I hear. Isn't clapping part of encouragement as a coach? I'm a father of two and probably don't clap often enough. Good to have your coaching experience on board the board

My guess is (real quick before I go back into offseason hibernation) is that Jason and Kellen are locked in a room somewhere trying to marry their styles...particularly considering this very well could be Jason's last hoorah....

hoooo aaaaa hooorah!

They spend a couple of days pottering about at home getting nagged by the Wife., suitably motivated, They get back to work.

What do you think our staff does?

Rock, paper, scissors.

Winning was all the encouragement we needed.

What is your take? We always spent our off time dissecting our own film and looking for weaknesses. We also went to several camps and clinics. What do you think our staff does? Do you think Garrett is trying to learn new things? I'm sure they are doing the draft thing right now, but where do they go for new ideas? Not trying to be a smart butt, just wondering. It's not like he can go to the Belichek school of coaching.

Garrett is busy making flight and hotel arrangements to sporting events he plans to attend during the season. Just like he did last season.

How was your butt-slap?

The 2-handed shove as they come off the field matters too. Gotta master that one.

spitting and dribble a bit off the chin....

They go to the office every morning. Boot up the computer. Play Fortnight. Check social media. Play YouTube videos. And when Jerry comes around they open a spreadsheet and pretend they working hard.

Garrett teaches the university level courses titled :

The secrets of spitting and clapping rhythmically

How to keep your job even though you have no idea how to do it

The real benefit of teamwork: spreading the blame

How to keep your job even though you have no idea how to do it (and make millions doing it)..........he has a PHD in this subject.
he could go on tour after coaching and make a bundle teaching all the tricks of this.

well to be serious, I think it would vary from team to team , Hc to Hc.
Some will work harder or longer than others.
I think coaches that have been in position a long time, do less work than the new or recent coaches.
Belichek is probably not working as hard as he used to but still does more than others, and he has a good system and philosophy set up.

Garrett is one of the guys that have been hc for 9 years now ,and he has been removed from the offense, so aside from game planning
which no idea how involved he is there , he doesnt have a lot to do the way it is set up in Dallas.

After the season front office and Jason probably evaluated the staff then any firings then the coaches who are staying evaluated the players then the guys who are free agents they want to keep or make a run at then college players film then combine then pro days and visits they had the league meetings then more draft stuff then work outs begin and OTA then a short break usually like two weeks then training camp. That’s basically what I heard a coach say on NFL radio one day

Hangs out with Coach K and conference calls Saban.
