Here's a text message from a current 5A D1 HC in Region II

But let's get some coaches takes on it and see what they think [Hidden Content]

Of course some won't agree it serves their interests to have more time... But it is interesting that even though schools have the option to do 2 practices after Day 5 (and not on consecutive days, the vast majority choose not to do it..

PNG had a great gameplan to slow Liberty Hill down last year....it was the best job anyone had done against that offense since SOC in the 2021 state game....if Liberty Hill had their two running backs maybe its a little closer, but still think PNG wins that game comfortably

There's a burn in period now....I dont think back in the day you could go full pads until the first day of contact (Day 6)....now you can go shoulder pads/shells on Day 3, just no contact....

kids in general aren't out in the heat more than back in the day....but I do believe today's football players on average are out in it just as much as kids back in the 80s for example....most kids in the 70s and 80s weren't working the fields etc.... I think its also worth noting it is hotter on average now that it was 40-50 years ago as well...although nothing has topped the summer of 1980

Football coaches always want more practice time...they want all the extra summer work plus 2-a-days, plus whatever else they can get...thats just their nature...what I'm saying is its not needed now because of the changes to the calendar and the development of a year-round nature of the game. And remember they do get time to run plays in the summer now with the sport specific time

screen shots live forever...people talk too much these days lol

I think kids back then just did stuff on their own or worked....kids these days are out in the heat a lot, its just in more organized settings, summer workouts, 7on7, private 1v1 training etc....its different but most HS Football players are on campus 3-4 hours a day much of the summer, lifting, running, doing sport specific work etc...that more than adds up for the time "lost" not doing two-a-days

I really dont think its needed now....the kids come in already in great shape because of summer SAC, yes back in the day they did two-a-days, but also kids didnt show up to the school in June-July...now kids are there 4 days a week most of June and for about half of July (there is a mandatory off-week during July 4th week and a lot of coaches are gone during coaching school)

I've never considered Liberty Hill a defensive juggernaut.....they've been successful because their offense has been borderline unstoppable for a good part of the past 15-20 years

SOC lost a lot especially on defense...Melissa brings back a lot (9 and 6) they are growing like crazy so they have depth and a couple of out of state move-ins that will contribute and they went toe to toe with SOC in a very physical game in the 4th round last year..it was 16-16 going into the 4th Qtr....SOC scored to take a seven point lead..Melissa drove down got in the red zone and turned it over on downs and then SOC put the dagger in with a minute left....its not far feteched at all to have Melissa over SOC IMO

Carthage is very hit and miss in 7on7.....its something with them I don't take a ton of stock in

Tough situation with the internet out there...not sure if we hadn't moved fields we'd even be able to broadcast...it was a disaster..no one's phones worked it took forever for tweets to go out etc...lol it was like 1995 all over again

I spoke with Coach Hendrix today and he indeed has not yet started

Coach Willis wanted Coach Cameron, he's had a DPP/football ops type person at his last two stops, he has a defined role for the position and he values it

Just an FYI on the broadcast, yes its free but we may or may not get rosters and the camera angle isnt going to be the best....lol hope no one gets mad
