Description

On The Coaching 101 Podcast, hosts Daniel Chamberlain and Kenny Simpson discuss what head football coaches do in the offseason, emphasizing that coaches “fall to the level of their systems” and should plan for worst-case scenarios. Simpson shares updates on moving toward spring football, a Sunday online workshop on installing the gun tee, and finishing staff hires. They outline offseason priorities: running an effective weight program, building relationships, developing and evaluating coaches, addressing friction points, making measured scheme tweaks to fit personnel, teaching leadership and football IQ within rules, promoting competition and camaraderie, coordinating multi-sport expectations, and giving athletes an offseason to avoid burnout. They also detail behind-the-scenes head coach duties like managing grades, budgets and fundraising, equipment inventory, admin relations, scheduling and logistics, social media promotion and recruiting, coordinating with other sports, and aligning booster clubs.
