Build a group passing period that actually carries over to Friday night instead of simply looking good in seven-on-seven. Dan Chamberlain and Joe Daniel break down how to progress from individual work and routes on air into half-field concepts, seven-on-seven, and team periods while giving quarterbacks, receivers, and defenders meaningful game-specific reps. Coaches will learn how to increase practice tempo, create more good-on-good work, simplify coverage adjustments with tags, and keep both sides of the ball focused on the reads and reactions that matter when the run game is back in the equation. 14:42 - Planning Group Passing Periods 16:22 - Practice Focus and Progression for Passing 25:30 - Defensive Passing Indies Before Run Indies 28:36 - Getting Good on Good in Group Passing 30:03 - Routes on Air Drill Setup 33:01 - Curl Drill Against Cover Three 42:55 - Air Drill Up Tempo Passing 45:03 - Defensive Coverage Tags and Spokes 48:59 - Split Field Seven on Seven Drill 60:58 - Translating Seven on Seven to Team Period Progressing Your Group Passing Drills Step 1: Build Every Practice Around a Clear Focus Start with the specific passing skills, reads and concepts your offense and defense need to improve, then organize every period so individual, group and team work progresses toward that same goal. READ: 10 Keys To Preparing a Football Practice Plan that Wins Games Step 2: Build Individual Skills That Transfer to Group Passing Break the passing game into the smallest skills your quarterbacks, receivers and defenders need to execute, then use individual periods to prepare them for the reads and techniques they will encounter when the groups come together. LISTEN: Individual Drill Periods for Skill Development | FBCP S21E01 Step 3: Develop the Quarterback Before Expanding the Passing Drill Give your quarterback the throwing mechanics, footwork and fundamentals he needs before asking him to execute complete concepts against a defense. Progress from warmups and routes on air into the reads and decisions required in group passing periods. LISTEN: Quarterback Drills and Throwing Mechanics | FBCP S21E02 Step 4: Simplify the Passing Game Around Concepts Your Players Can Execute Build your passing periods around a small number of concepts your quarterback can read and your receivers can execute consistently. Once the base concepts are reliable, use tags and adjustments to expand what you can attack without adding unnecessary complexity. LISTEN: Our Passing Game Sucks! | FBCP S18E02 Step 5: Progress From Individual Work to Group and Team Execution Use a deliberate progression from individual technique into routes on air, half field concepts, 7 on 7 and finally team periods. Each step should add another piece of the game without losing the focus established earlier in practice. READ: Complete Guide to Coaching Football Drills that Win Games Step 6: Make 7 on 7 Productive for Your Defense Use 7 on 7 to reinforce the actual coverage rules your defenders will execute on Friday night. Work the key reads, drops, route combinations, change ups and pressures that matter against your opponent instead of treating 7 on 7 like a passing tournament.

Learn how to defend the spread option without rebuilding your defense for one opponent. Joe Daniel and Daniel Chamberlain explain how umbrella run fits naturally account for the dive, quarterback, and pitch, how simple tags can influence option reads, and how to prepare your scout team to give defenders realistic looks without trying to perfectly recreate the opponent's offense. 6:41 - Scout Team Building From Base Blocks 16:54 - Umbrella Run Fits for Option Defense 19:35 - Natural Gap Exchange Without Tags 24:16 - Defending Pistol Flexbone Triple Option 28:35 - Stopping Spread Option From Base Defense 30:49 - Dictating Quarterback Reads With Q Tags 35:49 - Blitz Packages Against Spread Option 43:25 - Scout Team Preparation for Spread Option 49:03 - Practice Drills for Spread Option 50:56 - Formation Splits and Film Study Keys Defending the Spread Option Step 1: Build Your Defense Around Umbrella Run Fits Start with a run fit system that gives every defender a consistent responsibility against the dive, quarterback and pitch. Spill, force, alley and stay in coverage should remain intact regardless of the option scheme or formation you face. READ: Coach the Umbrella Principle to Get Perfect Run Fits for Your Defense Step 2: Learn to Stop Any Run Scheme Without Changing Your Defense Apply those same run fit rules against different formations and schemes instead of installing a new defense every week. Your players should be able to recognize their keys and execute their base responsibilities whether they see zone read, power read, triple option or a traditional run scheme. LISTEN: We Can't Stop the Run | FBCP S18E05 Step 3: Control the Quarterback Instead of Chasing Him Learn how gap exchanges, fronts, tags and pressure can influence the quarterback's read while keeping the structure of your defense intact. The goal is to dictate where the football goes and put your defenders in position to handle the quarterback without creating new assignments for everyone else. LISTEN: We Cant Stop Dual-Threat QBs | FBCP S19E08 Step 4: Build a Defensive System That Can Adjust Without Starting Over Organize your fronts, coverages, run fits and adjustments into one system so you can handle option offenses with small changes instead of installing a flavor-of-the-week defense. Your answers to unusual offenses should already exist inside the structure your players know.

Progress the Umbrella Drill to include the opponent's backfield alignment, pitch phase, bubble action and other option looks your force and alley defenders will see that week. READ: The Most Important Football Drill for Coaching Safeties Step 6: Progress Those Skills Into Group Run Periods Combine the individual skills into half-line, inside run, outside run and 9-on-9 periods. Use these periods to let defenders chain their key reads, block reactions and run fits together before asking them to execute everything during full team work. LISTEN: Practice Planning: Group Run Drills for Skill Progression | FBCP S21E05 Step 7: Give Your Scout Team the Right Look Do not ask your scout offense to become a spread option team in three days. Recreate the formations, blocking reactions, quarterback actions and other keys your defense actually needs to see, then script those looks so your players can execute the same rules they have practiced all season.

The Wing T offense is designed to make defenders hesitate, overreact, and abandon their fundamentals—but the best defenses do exactly the opposite. In this episode, Joe Daniel explains how to build a defensive game plan that handles the Wing T without installing an entirely new defense, including key coaching points, film study strategies, and practical in-game adjustments that help your players play fast and stay disciplined. Whether you face a traditional Wing T, Gun T, or modern pistol variation, you'll learn how to identify what the offense really wants to accomplish and defend it with sound principles instead of chasing every motion and formation.

Joe Daniel records a rare solo "episode zero" of the Football Coaching Podcast (nearly 15 years running) while co-host Daniel Chamberlain is away after the birth of his daughter. Joe previews the new Coaches Edge membership and monthly workshops (install plan in June, practice plans in July, in-season adjustments later) and then shares "21 things coaches disagree with," centered on "keep it simple" and that scheme is rarely the solution. Key points include: defenses boil down to even/odd and 7- vs 8-man fronts; numbers don't matter as much as run fits; defensive ends shouldn't be force players; a wide 5x5 force alignment; inside zone can work with smaller linemen; QB alignment doesn't define an offense; take Saturdays off and finish film by Sunday; 90-minute practices and five-day installs; the free safety is most important; avoid 4-3 for youth/small staffs; don't change systems yearly; avoid most training aids; don't print playbooks; average athletes can play press man; prioritize self-scout; wristband scout team; emphasize OL footwork; and minimize contact in individual drills.
You don't need more practice time. In fact, you're probably using too much right now if you're honest with yourself. Practice shouldn't be a thing that your coaches and players despise. In this episode Joe Daniel and Daniel Chamberlain discuss the benefits of moving towards a 90-minute practice schedule. They talk through how to plan the practice with the new constraint, how you can get more in with efficiency, and the benefits of engaged players and coaches.
If the internet and Social Media have made football worse anywhere, it's given coaches the false understanding of what a good football drill looks like and why we use them. Too many whistle-bearers are turning to Tik-Tok and X to find their next day's drill, when they should be turning to their game film. On this episode Joe Daniel and Daniel Chamberlain talk through Better Football Drills by starting with the 1-on-1 game, problem solving any problem, and using drills to build habits for your players.
Building a culture takes a long time. "Rome wasn't built in a day," is such a comparable phrase, because you can't change things overnight. But, with the right tools, you can expedite your turn around time. On this episode Joe Daniel and Daniel Chamberlain talk through Building a Culture with the Players' Creed, how to establish the team's identity, and getting you players to buy into your culture and the creed.
Building out your Run Plays for your system doesn't have to be complicated. You get a few base plays, you make them look as similar as possible, you add some wrinkles… bingo, bango, bongo, your offensive run game is born. In this episode Joe Daniel and Daniel Chamberlain discuss what it takes to build out your run game, keeping the blocking simple for the linemen, designing your core to minimize break points, and adjusting that core to attack any defense.
Giving your linebackers the perfect gameplan for Friday nights is difficult. We've simplified it to nearly elementary coaching points, but the pressures of the game can take a toll on a young player's mind to the point of failure. In this episode Joe Daniel and Daniel Chamberlain discuss the ASKA principle for your linebackers, what makes it operate, how you can use it with your current playbook, and how it's a gameplanning tool in hiding!
On The Football Coaching Podcast, hosts Daniel Chamberlain and Joe Daniel record live at Milton Academy in Massachusetts with guests Brady Bradbury and Kahn Chace, discussing what they wish they'd known before becoming head coaches. Bradbury says he initially assumed he'd run a complex 4-2-5 college system, but learned to tailor schemes to players and staff capabilities, simplify to help coaches teach, and manage constant daily "fires" unrelated to football. The group emphasizes that coaches often overestimate staff buy-in, must intentionally schedule time to educate coaches, and should delegate without trying to control everything. Chace advises not to pursue the title alone, to find and stay with good people and loyal administrators, and to know your "why," sharing that his is watching players improve. Chamberlain adds that persistence through rejections can lead to the right job, and notes head coaching requires year-round time and planning.
"Nothing new under the sun," is a statement that's truer than we like to admit. It also gives you the "okay," to stop pretending you're going to do anything different than any other coach out there. You don't have to build a brand new football idea from the ground up. In this episode Joe Daniel and Daniel Chamberlain jump into system stealing, system matching, and system evolution. Learn how to find proven systems, find the right system for your team, and how to evolve the system year after year.
As Spring Ball gets closer, 7-on-7 is looming, and season seems just around the corner, you're probably looking through your defensive install plan, scratching your head, wondering how to get it all in the most efficient way this season. In this episode Joe Daniel and Daniel Chamberlain talk through the best defensive install plan for the 425 defense, and likely any defense, for this upcoming season. They talk planning what you need to install, how to get it all installed in 5 days, and how to ensure you have enough ready for week 1.
Calling plays for your team's offense on game day doesn't have to be super complicated, but it does need to be methodical. Your plan to take advantage of the defense has to involve finding their weaknesses and exploiting them. In this episode Joe Daniel and Daniel Chamberlain discuss the four weaknesses of a Defense, how to build your playbook to attack those weaknesses, and how to identify the weaknesses during a game.
Utilities and their regulators are often protected by a "force field of tedium," but in this episode, I pierce the veil to discuss the complex machinery of utility profit-making. I'm joined by Joe Daniel of RMI to unpack the critical distinction between "return on equity" and "cost of equity," and why the former is almost always higher than necessary. We discuss how regulators can close this gap to lower consumer costs without hindering essential grid upgrades. This is a public episode.

"There's levels to this, man." That is true, there are levels to calling a defense. Every play in your playbook fits a certain level of play calling, and has a specific task. Calling defense isn't hard, if you have an understanding to your system, and use the tools to solve problems. In this episode Joe Daniel and Daniel Chamberlain discuss the finer details to defensive play calling. They talk about the Three Levels of play calling, how you can always know what play to call, and how to use your own weakness to stay a step ahead.

In football, the run game is the foundation of MOST offensive schemes… and rightly so. Ball control, time control, game tempo control all belong to those who can run the ball. So much so that if it isn't working for you, you may find yourself in the losing column more often than you'd like. In this episode Joe Daniel and Daniel Chamberlain discuss the importance of the timing of your run plays, how you can work within your playbook and get plays to break out, and finding ways to increase your yards per carry without adding talent to your team.
Cover 3 may be the best HS coverage possible. Cover 1 probably holds the crown as the best overall coverage, if you have the cats to run it. Cover 3 just answers all the questions, while being simple to understand, run, and problem solve with. On this episode Joe Daniel and Daniel Chamberlain are covering the fundamentals of Cover 3, simplifying your coverage package, solving all the weaknesses, and making Cover 3 look complicated.
Tackling may be the bane of every DC's existence, especially when trying to turn a program around. It's also the part of football that has evolved the most… outside of Travis Kelce type of TEs, and the weird side-arm throwing motion used around the country now. Tackling doesn't have to be a thorn in your paw, you have to simplify your system so it can happen more naturally and in pairs. On this episode Joe Daniel and Daniel Chamberlain discuss the easiest ways to fix mistakes in tackling, through Umbrella Run Fits, how to do it without running the “Oklahoma Drill” every week, and motivating your players to ATTACK.
A lack of confidence in a football player is almost never an actual lack of confidence. What does that mean? Well, you can't go to the gym and workout your confidence muscles. You can't drink a magic beverage that increases your confidence score. Confidence is built by simple understanding and preparation for what you're about to try to achieve. On this episode Joe Daniel and Daniel Chamberlain discuss the building of confidence through the streamlining of your scheme. They talk through the Coach Simple Philosophy, Understand your Why (and coaching to ensure your why is achieved), and game planning to give your players the ability to play FAST!
Coach, your kids are bored… and it's 100% YOUR FAULT. Okay, extreme ownership says everything is your fault, so you already knew that. But, really, you've planned a boring and stagnant practice, so that's exactly how it feels. On this episode Joe Daniel and Daniel Chamberlain are talking about shorter more high energy practices that achieve a goal, motivate athletes, and put the spark back in your team.

Depth wins championships. It doesn't matter how talented your starters are — if you've got no one ready to step in when it counts, you're in trouble. Backups matter. Depth matters. And if you're not preparing those guys now, you'll pay for it later. On this episode of The Football Coaching Podcast, Daniel Chamberlain and Joe Daniel talk about how to build depth on your roster, get your backups game-ready, and keep your team competitive no matter the numbers. You'll hear why the Coach Simple philosophy is the fastest way to boost confidence and performance, how to train your scout team to become tomorrow's starters, and how to adapt your drills when roster sizes are smaller than you'd like.
There isn't a perfect defensive scheme in football. Let's say that again, there isn't a perfect defensive scheme in football. They all work. Pro's and Con's… sure they exist. But, the truth is, every modern defense should be able to work successfully against any offensive scheme, you just have to remain adaptable. On this episode Joe Daniel and Daniel Chamberlain talk about adapting your defense to whatever you'll see this season, how you can shut down the spread specifically, and coaching your defense to SWARM the football!
Calling plays when the lights are brightest, things aren't going your way, or the game is on the line can be a challenge. Especially for coaches who haven't experienced it before, you can start to be too aggressive or pull too many punches. But, it's something you can get better at. On this episode Joe Daniel and Daniel Chamberlain are discussing how to better your play calls in the biggest spots in football. They talk setting up a play call sheet, playing the game before the game, and using your play calls to attack weaknesses of the defense.
We've unfortunately all been there… the 4th Quarter starts and our best 11 have their hands on their knees and are too exhausted to perform up to the standard. It's cost many coaches a game or two, but there is a way to prevent it from ever happening again. On this episode Joe Daniel and Daniel Chamberlain discuss the more modern approaches to getting your players in shape for the season, how to condition in practice, keeping things from getting too tyrannical, and how to hold your player accountable so they'll want to be in shape in the 4th.
A stagnant offense can stall an entire season — even with the right athletes on the field. But constantly adding new plays without structure usually leads to confusion, not results. On this episode of the Football Coaching Podcast, Daniel Chamberlain and Joe Daniel share how to build a dynamic offense the right way — starting with mastery of a base play and layering in variation through motions, shifts, unbalanced formations, and tags. They also introduce the containers principle — a smart way to install new ideas without overwhelming your players or your practice time.

Scar-faced, ex-jailbird Frank Norman was part of the '50s and '60s Soho bohemian set and friends with Francis Bacon, Lucien Freud, Dylan Thomas and other habitues of the infamous Colony Room club. After being abandoned as a child, growing up in institutions, and working as a fairground worker, he landed in Soho, became a petty criminal and spent time in prison where he learned to paint and write. Back in Soho on leaving jail, astonishingly he became a succesful author, writer of the smash hit cockney musical 'Fings Aint What They Used To Be', the acclaimed prison memoir Bang to Rights, and several novels - but never painted again. In the early '60s he penned 'Soho Night and Day', a evocative survey of the area in its seedy, cosmopolitan prime, with photographs by his pal Jeffrey Bernard (later to become the most famous alcoholic in London). Frank's grandson, Joe Daniel, came to talk Bureau to talk about him and about the bohemian low-life of Soho in the '50s and '60s.

“There's nothing new under the sun,” is a statement that lives in football as much as anywhere else.

On this episode Joe Daniel and Daniel Chamberlain are joined by Brandon Samuels to discuss finding and utilizing coaching resources available today.
Football is the greatest game ever. EVER! But, that doesn't mean it comes without its issues. Unfortunately, most of those issues we bring on ourselves. On this episode Joe Daniel and Daniel Chamberlain discuss the newest issues they're seeing in their respective states, how recruiting and NIL have helped and hurt High School Football, and how a “transfer portal” is good, bad, and ugly.
The playoffs are a magical time for football coaches, players, and teams. But, they do not come without their own hurdles.

Joe Daniel is a Principal on the Carbon-Free Electricity Team at RMI.Our topic today is coal, specifically the "non-economic dispatch" of coal. This phenomenon occurs when coal-fired power plants deliver power to electricity grids even when their electricity is not the most cost-effective option, thereby disrupting the "merit order" of electricity dispatch. This complex topic is explored with Joe's help, as he provides insights into this intricate issue. The US electric grid is notoriously difficult to understand, and there may be moments when the conversation becomes challenging. However, Joe and Cody consistently strive to make the concepts clear and accessible.The complexity of the system contributes to the problems Joe highlights. Information asymmetry creates economic friction, which disadvantages renewables, despite their general economic superiority. Joe's work at RMI involves developing and deploying quantitative tools, such as RMI's Economic Dispatch Hub, which he will discuss. These tools aim to accelerate affordable and equitable utility de-carbonization pathways.In this episode, we cover: [2:42] Joe's background and work at RMI[4:25] Seasonality and cyclical trends in coal usage[6:20] Operation and flexibility of coal plants[10:05] Merit order and prioritizing resources based on cost[12:25] Types of resources and their cost ranking[16:01] Dispatching resources and electricity sources[21:03] Non-economic dispatch of coal and cost impacts[25:02] Public utility commissions' role in regulation[29:23] Need for transparency and market price signals[33:31] Smooth energy transition and coal's future role[39:09] RMI's role in providing expertise and assistance[40:30] Cost implications and solutions for non-economic dispatch[43:49] Public engagement in utility commission hearings[46:16] Policy and local engagement in clean energy adoptionEpisode recorded on July 18, 2024 (Published on Aug 4, 2024) Get connected with MCJ: Jason Jacobs X / LinkedInCody Simms X / LinkedInMCJ Podcast / Collective / YouTube*If you liked this episode, please consider giving us a review!

Offensive Coordinators LOVE trying to break your defensive rules. As defenses get more “simple,” OC's try to make your simplicity work against you.
