For the past 10 years, we've heard and seen the word “culture” being thrown about arbitrarily. In conversations with coaches, in reports we've published, in clinic talks we've attended, in the posters and t-shirts we see in programs and in sports “culture” books we've read… Athletes and coaches praise it when things go well and cite it as the primary catalyst for things going wrong. It is the most hackneyed phrase in sports, yet no one doubts that it is the most powerful factor when it comes to building a football program. There were things we already knew about building culture. We knew it was the bloodline of any program and it had to be all-inclusive in order to be effective. We also knew that it had to continually be re-evaluated and re-aligned based on changing dynamics like environment and personnel. Coaches can never allow a culture to grow stagnant. Most importantly, we knew that the healthiest form of culture is one that is completely player-driven, where players are empowered with ownership in creating and defending a program's core values. The generated ownership and accountability that comes as result is invaluable to a program's success, often producing achievements significantly above talent level. But how do you get to player-driven culture? How do you make the transition from being coach-led to being player-led? And how will it take? Today's guest Mike Kuchar of X&O Labs shares what he found in doing an extensive study of over 40 programs and how they build culture, and then building his findings into a system that is built around 7 behaviors: 1. Messaging 2. Collaboration 3. Connectivity 4. Self Advocacy 5. Emotional Awareness 6. Responsibility 7. Resiliency Get Mike's study (over 3 hours)here: https://bit.ly/3EOKWh4

Mike Kuchar serves as co-founder and Senior Research Manager of X&O Labs. Kuchar has spent the last 15 years of his writing career researching and reporting on the newest trends and innovations in the game. His work has been featured in various national publications including ESPN Magazine, USA Today, and CBSports.com as well as coaching trade publications. Since starting X&O Labs, Kuchar has authored several special reports including the Zone Read Study, the Quarters Coverage Study and the 4-2-5 Defense Study. Aside from his journalistic pursuits, Kuchar has been a coach for 16 years, both at the high school and college level as a head coach and a defensive coordinator. Currently he is the assistant head coach and offensive coordinator at Rahway High School in New Jersey. In this episode we dive into offensive and defensive trends, EA Game design, give shout-outs to HS wrestling and kids playing both ways. We even pay homage to Howard Stern. At the end of the day, coaches tend to favor the player's well-being over scheme and that is encouraging for us all.

This week on The Audible Bruce sits down with Mike Kuchar of X&O Labs (https://www.hudl.com/footballtrends) , a great interview for hardcore football fans who really like to know the ins and outs of schematics on the field. Mike breaks down some of the offensive and defensive schemes of major programs in the country for some great insight into strategies. Then, Bruce and Stew dive into the mailbag to rank the current Power 5 conferences. Stock up for the ACC and stock down for the SEC? Plus, was Butch Jones a good hire at Tennessee? How much longer will he last at the program? What the NFL's move to Las Vegas could mean for college football bowl games and potentially the National Championship, and a debate if neutral site games at NFL stadiums are good for the college game.
