Most coaches treat quarters as a set of rules that react to what the offense does after the snap. Chad Broadrick treats it as a way to decide, before the ball is ever snapped, which two players he is going to take away.In this episode, the Head Football Coach and Athletic Director at Centennial High School in Tennessee walks through his Cover 7 film and the single question that drives every call in it: how do we double the two guys we are worried about on Friday night? Everything else is built backward from that answer.Broadrick lays out the four buckets he lives in out of Cover 7, which are cones, brackets, triangle concepts, and box concepts, and shows how each one is really just a different tool for getting a double team on the right player. The star and the money carry outside leverage, the safety plays the aggressor on any in-breaking route, and the Mac takes the back. From there it becomes a language: ink and orc to set the corners' press, Seahawk to wall and midpoint a vertical, Connie to keep from getting picked on the rail route, stump and smash rules to the field, cut and buster to trips. For coaches who want a cleaner way to organize their quarters answers instead of memorizing a hundred unrelated checks, this is someone who has done that work.He is also honest about where the coverage lives and dies. Cover 7 can look rough in seven-on-seven, where isolation routes get exposed and there is no rush to bother the quarterback. In a game, with a four-man rush and a plan for who you want doubled, it is a different picture. That is where Broadrick gets animated, because the real value shows up when you build pressure out of the structure. He shows how the same bracket calls turn into simulated pressures and creepers, tracing the back, VTeching the center, and getting a hit on the quarterback while still doubling the vertical routes behind it.The conversation closes in the red area, where cut becomes a two-man concept with trap rules and the corners play as waterfall defenders protecting the goal line, then moves into Turkey and Clifford and when it actually makes sense to dial them up. Matt jumps in from the offensive side to compare it all to Palms, and makes the case that Cover 7 gives a coach more pre-snap structure and control over exactly who gets doubled, without the practice cost that Palms demands.The film gremlins were out in full force during this one, so a few clips fought back, but the ideas came through clearly. If you run any form of quarters and want a smarter way to take a team's best player out of the game, this one is worth your time.This episode is presented by Sideline HQ.Sideline HQ is the equipment and operations management platform built for football programs.

Holy Cross Head Football Coach Dan Curran joins us to talk all things Crusaders Football.

Freedom has been an illusive longing in the hearts and minds of humanity since we were created and placed in the Garden of GOD, where we quickly chose enslavement to sin! (see Genesis 3) I write this on a national holiday commemorating the day Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, to announce the end of the Civil War and ensure that all remaining enslaved people were freed. It is a celebration of freedom, marking the end of that heinous practice of legalized human enslavement in this country. We live in a nation that I believe, comparatively speaking, has been appropriately nicknamed “the land of the free”. And we get to celebrate our nation's birth in just a few weeks. But we don't have to wait until then to celebrate “freedom”. In fact, every Sunday as we gather, we celebrate the freedom from sin that our Good, Good FATHER gave to us in JESUS! As we gather this Sunday to celebrate GOD as our FATHER, we will also take some moments, on FATHER'S DAY, to honor our earthly fathers, just as GOD commanded us to do. (see the 5th of the 10 Commandments) And since many fathers love “football” in one form or another, we have the Head Football Coach of Fort Dorchester High School joining us this Sunday to talk about the rare and precious gospel partnership GOD has given us. So, I hope you are making plans to join us as we worship THE MOST INCREDIBLE FATHER EVER! Pastor Joe Still

When people think of sports, they almost always think of playing as the only way to do it. But it's not. I dated a girl once whose career dream was being an accountant for her favorite NFL team. My 9yo son's flag football coaches are high school varsity football players who dream of coaching as a career. And my 15yo son, who also coaches a youth flag football team, is currently playing football for my guest Bobby Ruff, the head football coach at Liberty High School in SC. If you've ever thought about coaching as a career or are just interested in the inside scoop on high school football, you gotta check this one out.   Bobby Ruff is a young man who's already hit the pinnacle of his profession and found out exactly where he wants to be, and it wasn't at that pinnacle. A little background on Coach Ruff- Coach Ruff brings a strong background in defensive leadership, player development, and program-building, with experience spanning high school and collegiate football. Most recently, he has served as Assistant Inside Linebackers Coach at Liberty University, including as part of the Flames' coaching staff during the 2023 Fiesta Bowl against Oregon, where he has worked closely with defensive personnel, game planning, film breakdown, and recruiting at the Division I level. Prior to his time at Liberty University, Coach Ruff served as Defensive Coordinator at Easley High School, where the program developed one of the most statistically successful defenses in the state, recorded its first playoff appearance and first winning season in 15 years, and developed multiple All-State players. His coaching experience also includes several roles at The Citadel, where he worked with linebackers, safeties, defensive line, and tight ends, contributing to nationally ranked rushing and defensive units. “Coach Ruff is exactly the type of leader we were searching for,” said Johnny Garrett, principal of Liberty High School. “His experience, energy, and commitment to developing young men both on and off the field make him an excellent fit for Liberty High School and our community.” Coach Ruff is a native of Charleston, South Carolina, and a graduate of Charleston Southern University, where he earned a degree in Public Relations and was a three-year starting linebacker, team captain, and All-Big South selection. His coaching philosophy emphasizes accountability, relationships, and creating a positive culture that supports academic success, character development, and competitive excellence. Liberty High School Athletic Director Jonathan Dilworth added, “Coach Ruff's enthusiasm for the game is evident the moment you meet him. He brings a high-level knowledge of football and a clear commitment to leading student-athletes both on and off the field, and we are excited to begin a new era of Red Devil football under his leadership.” Coach Ruff shared the following about joining Liberty High School: “I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to serve as the Head Football Coach at Liberty High School. This is a community that cares deeply about its students and its traditions. My goal is to build a program rooted in competition, discipline, accountability, and purpose - one that develops young men who represent their school and community the right way.”   Come see him in action under the Friday Night Lights in Liberty SC.   Things mentioned in the show: Jocko Willink https://amzn.to/3Qz9J3e   Atomic Habits by James Clear https://amzn.to/41QFGGK    --- Click here to change your life- http://eepurl.com/gy5T3T   Hit me up for a one-on-one brainstorming session- https://militaryimagesproject.com/products/brainstorming-session-1-hour    Check out my Linktree for different ways to rock your world! https://linktr.ee/ruggeddad    Check out the sweet Hyper X mic I'm using. https://amzn.to/41AF4px    Check out my best-selling books: Rapid Skill Development 101- https://amzn.to/3J0oDJ0 Streams of Income with Ryan Reger- https://amzn.to/3SDhDHg Strangest Secret Challenge- https://amzn.to/3xiJmVO This page contains affiliate links.

This weeks episode: Tremaine Jackson Head Football Coach Prairie View IG: coachjack2121. The Homecoming "Coach, you're a Houston native — you played at Texas Southern, got your degree from the University of Houston, and now you're lead, What does it mean to come full circle and coach at an HBCU in your own backyard, and how does that personal connection to this area fuel what you're building?"2. The Culture Shift "In your first year at Prairie View, you went 10-4, 7-1 in SWAC play, and won Coach of the Year. You've said 'football is a ministry' for you — what was the first thing you changed when you walked into that building on Day 1 to create that kind of immediate turnaround?"3. Breaking Barriers "You became the first Black coach to win the Gulf South Conference championship at Valdosta State, you were named AFCA National D-II Coach of the Year, and ESPN put you on their list of 45 minority coaches under 45 to watch. How do you carry the weight of representation while still staying locked in on just coaching football?"4. The NFL Experience "You've done two Bill Walsh Minority Coaching Fellowships — one with the Pittsburgh Steelers and one with the Jacksonville Jaguars. What did you take from those NFL environments that you've brought back to the college level, and is the league still something you have your eye on down the road?"5. The Legacy Play "You've coached at nine different programs, you've got a 50-16 overall record, and you're building something special at Prairie View. When it's all said and done, what do you want people to say about the Tremaine Jackson era — not just the wins, but the men you developed?"SUBSCRIBE AND ADD US ON ALL PLATFORMS@CULTURALLYDISTINCTPODCASTFacebook page:https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100080353285179&mibextid=ZbWKwLApplehttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/culturally-distinct-network/id1516660814Instagram:https://instagram.com/culturallydistinct?igshid=ZDdkNTZiNTM=Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/6du7xitGWnSqbsN680uPbmIHEARTCulturally Distinct Network | iHeart

OSU Head Football Coach JaMarcus Shephard returns to the show to discuss how Spring Practice is progressing...the QB battle...how it's going on the recruiting trail and how the Scott Barnes news hit him.

In this episode of The High Performance Mindset, Dr. Cindra Kamphoff sits down with University of New Mexico Head Football Coach Jason Eck to explore what it truly takes to build belief inside a team. In his first season leading the Lobos, Coach Eck engineered one of the most remarkable turnarounds in college football—leading the program to nine wins, a bowl game appearance, and Mountain West Coach of the Year honors after being projected near the bottom of the conference. But behind the wins is something deeper. Coach Eck shares how leadership, culture, and mindset shape the foundation of a high-performing team. Drawing from more than two decades of coaching experience across Division II, FCS, and FBS football—including championship runs at Minnesota State and South Dakota State—he explains how leaders create environments where confidence grows and teams outperform expectations. Throughout the conversation, Eck discusses how belief is rebuilt in struggling programs, how players develop mental toughness for high-pressure moments, and why culture must become player-driven rather than coach-driven for lasting success. This episode is a powerful reminder that confidence and culture aren't built overnight. They are created through daily standards, aligned leadership, and a mindset that prepares teams to perform when the stakes are highest. You'll Learn: • How Coach Eck helped players build real confidence after a turnaround season • What leaders can do to help teams handle pressure and rising expectations • Mental habits athletes use to stay composed in high-stakes moments • How leaders rebuild belief in teams that haven't experienced success • Leadership lessons from rebuilding multiple football programs     Episode Resources & Links Learn more about the Mentally Strong Institute: https://mentallystronginstitute.com/ Follow University of New Mexico Football: (1) New Mexico Football (@UNMLoboFB) / X Follow Jason Eck on X: (1) Jason Eck (@Coach_Eck) / X Request a Free Mental Breakthrough Call with Dr. Cindra or her team: https://freementalbreakthroughcall.com/ Download our Confidence Research Study: https://confidencestudy.com/
