RECRUITS! Some Qs you might ask a college coach...
1) How many players at my position have you offered?
2) How many scholarship players at my position are on the roster?
3) How do you use my position on the field?
4) How many players from my position have made all-conference/NFL?

🏈 This #BlackHistoryMonth we honor Athens native Arthur D. Carr who quarterbacked @OhioFootball from 1903-04.
The first Black QB in college football history, Carr became a renowned medical doctor & later donated to @ohiou the land upon which Peden Stadium was built.

RECRUITS: College programs are in uncharted territory for roster building. With NCAA legislation granting current athletes extended eligibility most teams can't clearly project their roster needs in 12-24 months. Be patient & trust your coaches.

When @jaxon_smith1 caught the go-ahead takeoff over his outside shoulder @KirkHerbstreit said “you don’t teach what he just did.”
…except you do. @CoachKee with the @brianhartline Teach Tape from back in the spring.
What you put in, you get out!
/WIND IT/
verb.
Positioning the catch of a deep pass outside and in front of your body, to create a Ball-Me-Defender relationship at the catch point.

RECRUITS! Winning programs (including @OhioFootball) build relationships thru the HS coaches who know you best 🏈🏆
So, if you want to play & study at a specific school...
1. Ask your HC to please reach out
2. Talk with him about your goals
3. Be open to his feedback

A year ago @CoachDoty shared his resume on Twitter.
I loved the detail so much that I saved the images & retooled many of my own coaching materials.
This is the power of Twitter (for sure) and more importantly of coaches helping coaches. Thanks Coach Doty! I’ll pass it on!! ✊🏻
Advice for Young Coaches:
26) Update your resume every year if you’re job seeking & every five years even if you’re not looking. Create a customized portfolio for interviews. Here are pages from my portfolio (2018). If you’d like a full copy for template ideas for yourself DM me
