Trying to exhibit for display all my philosophies of what it takes to win at the sport of football has proved a daunting task indeed. Although I prefer a multidimensional power offense capable of the quick strike and an overly physical, overly aggressive, dominating style of defense, these styles may not suit a particular group of athletes. It is the meshing of what a coach wants and what he or she has to work with that is the formula for success. Coaches that can at least temporarily adjust to the talent available, or the talent faced, are always going to be the more successful coaches. Such adaptation has been a benchmark of great coaches like Dean Smith, Bobby Knight, and Eddie Robinson, to name but a few. Here I will break down my basic philosophies for the offense, defense, and special teams.
