    As a young guy I took the first one I found. After that I started to look for a scheme fit so that I would feel more comfortable coaching kids up #hogfbchat
  • Trench_CoachJJ Mar 26 @ 9:17 PM EDT
    A1: I’ve been in this position three times, and I was just looking for a spot in the staff and I adjusted to what they wanted me to do #hogfbchat
  • Coach_Ram8 Mar 26 @ 9:17 PM EDT
    A1: As a current member of #TeamFreeAgent I personally look for best fit personality wise. Scheme is something you can adapt to. But if you don’t like the guys you’re with everyday and night, that’s tough. #hogfbchat
  • CoachStone_ Mar 26 @ 9:17 PM EDT
    To me my last move was based on state of program, quality of school, quality of administration, dedication of kids and other coaches. Extremely blessed to be at LRCA, its all about being comfortable to hit the ground running and be you in your work place #hogfbchat

    A1: when I was first getting into coaching I took whatever I could get, the last two years I’ve tried to fit into a system that I want to run when I’man OC/HC #hogfbchat
  • dhhs_oline Mar 26 @ 9:17 PM EDT
    a1 #hogfbchat location, support for the program, kids who want to work hard, & esp coaches I can who get it #hogfbchat
  • CoachJonesUHS Mar 26 @ 9:17 PM EDT
    A1.) Best fit. Location and how do I connect with the HC and assistants that I meet? Clicking right away does wonders for the season. As a position coach, you have to learn to adapt to a system, not the system adapt around you. #HogFbChat
    In reply to @CoachDingus
  • CoachMBounds Mar 26 @ 9:17 PM EDT
    Well my next move I’m hoping will be HS Head Coach so I wanna find a place that I think has a successful culture or a place that I can instill that culture. Schemes can come after that. #hogfbchat
  • FISTFootball Mar 26 @ 9:17 PM EDT
    A1: I look at the staff that I’ll fit in with. I can adjust to scheme and I can adjust to culture (unless it’s a bad culture). But if I’m going to spend hours on end with dudes, I better get along with them. #hogfbchat
  • CoachMillerOL Mar 26 @ 9:17 PM EDT
    A1. I was looking for best fit in terms of culture when I was an assistant coach. Once I began looking for head coaching positions I was looking for a school with potential, but somewhere I could build a program. #hogfbchat
  • coach_mallard Mar 26 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    A1) Actually looking for a job, I’m looking for best fit for my family outside of football and whatever I can get on the field (minus Flexbone/ Wing T) #hogfbchat
    In reply to @CoachDingus
  • SkinnyOLcoach Mar 26 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    A1. Coached at three schools for two head coaches. Current HC I work for, 13 years, I have known since we were 4. Not real experienced in job hunting. We are a package deal and so is our scheme. #hogfbchat
  • coachtbrock Mar 26 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    A1. Best fit. My dad is a retired coach. He told me that at my young age to find a small school that will give me lots of coaching opportunities (multiple positions in football and other sports) and a good place to teach. Then grow where you’re planted. #hogfbchat
  • CoachShemby Mar 26 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    A1 - I am always looking for comfort. Scheme can’t be learned/taught, but comfort can’t. You have to be comfortable with the assistant coaches/HC and the community. Is it a place I would bring my kids is my answer. If that answer is no, it’s not the place for me #hogfbchat
    In reply to @CoachDingus
  • fritts57 Mar 26 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    A1: I would look for the best fit first, I honestly feel comfortable in any scheme (have to learn up about some of the more exotic) but if it was getting close to August-time, I’d take what I could get. #hogfbchat
  • CoachBDud Mar 26 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    Brett Dudley OC/OL Antioch HS, California #hogfbchat
  • CoachColeJr Mar 26 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    A1: I'd say a combination of all three. You can't be picky but if you don't fit with the scheme or the staff then what's the point? I'm also a big "Bloom where you're planted" guy. Do the best you can where you are and you don't have to worry about the next job. #hogfbchat
  • hughjohnd Mar 26 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    A1: best fit. I’ll coach what I’ve got for athletes in the scheme the OC wants (unless I’m the OC!). Staff has to be a fit. Have to trust OC & O staff and they need to trust me, and be on same page. #hogfbchat
  • ifs47 Mar 26 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    A1) Before graduating college it was whatever i could get, then got the opportunity to coach at Alma mater with some dear friends. Then it was follow the teaching gig #hogfbchat
  • CoachBennett32 Mar 26 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    A1: every job I’ve gotten has had something special about it. Fortunately I’ve never really been in a position where I “had to” find another job. Been lucky, it all could end at any time, but I’ve left on my terms when I left. Learned something everywhere along the way #hogfbchat
  • CoachLisaLimper Mar 26 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    A1- I can learn schemes. I am looking for a good fit with the coaching staff and the program. (Did I mention I was still looking for a job?) #hogfbchat
  • CoachJohnDye Mar 26 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    A1. I think it’s a little bit of all three. You need to find somewhere that you fit in with, and where you can share your knowledge to benefit the kids. #hogfbchat

  • CoachDShack Mar 26 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    A1 best fit with time commitment and the head coach you’re going to work for. Principles and values are important and need to align. Scheme, really, is arbitrary when looking for a new gig. #hogfbchat

    A1 Best fit. As much time as you spend with these people I think you want to: 1) Get along 2) Grow as a coach and person and 3) Feel like you are appreciated and valued #hogfbchat
  • CoachTreyStille Mar 26 @ 9:19 PM EDT
    A1: Think it depends on your journey. Early on it was whatever I could. Now it’s people, culture, willingness to work. As a coach, we should make our scheme fit our personnel anyway, AMIRIGHT? #hogfbchat

    A1: if I was looking, it would be about the teaching job first. Then the admin support, community, school, location, facility...ability to build a staff there. There’s a lot to consider when it comes to looking at leaving one good situation for “greener pastures” #hogfbchat
  • NickStro66 Mar 26 @ 9:19 PM EDT
    A1 best fit, but location can be important. I don't want to go to a place where my wife won't have the opportunity to further her career #hogfbchat
  • Coach_MarkBrown Mar 26 @ 9:19 PM EDT
    A1: Best fit. You want to make sure your visions, personality, and cultures align. In doing so great things can happen. A wise coach once told me you can win anywhere but you can’t win everywhere. When culture and visions align all it takes is time. #hogfbchat
  • WWeibert Mar 26 @ 9:19 PM EDT
    #hogfbchat Q1: I feel like scheme fit and best fit go hand in hand. That'd be my first thing to look at. BUT O-Line is all about adapting and overcoming, so learning a new system or how you can implement your knowledge into the new program could be a killer self investment!
  • Coach_Matthess Mar 26 @ 9:19 PM EDT
    A1) Well in Iowa teaching comes 1st, so I was lucky that I was able to find a school where I could teach the subjects I wanted to and there was also a head football job open as well, perfect fit for me. Wouldn’t want to be anywhere else! #hogfbchat

  • JLBrown64 Mar 26 @ 9:20 PM EDT
    A1) I think it’s best fit with program. Do your core values represent something I can get behind? A good coach can teach others their system. If I need to learn I can. I can’t get behind someone who doesn’t support his staff and players accordingly. #hogfbchat
  • kdawgswift Mar 26 @ 9:20 PM EDT

  • Kendrick_Crite Mar 26 @ 9:21 PM EDT
    A1: though 1. I think it depends on where in the process you start. Early in go for best fit. If it’s late in the process and you don’t have time to learn something new, go for best scheme fit. If you aren’t coaching what you know I think it’s a disservice to the kids.#hogfbchat

    A3 - has to be a comfort between 2 coaches. Can’t have guys who constantly contradict each other. At a small school I think it’s better to have just one OL, bigger schools need two, but I dont like INT and EXT because what if a Tackle has to play inside due to injury? #hogfbchat

    A3: it depends on the numbers. I would prefer one, but there is only so much you can do with one set of eyes if you have a lot of kids. Both coaches have to be on the same page though. #HOGFBCHAT

    A4: 1.lift/run/sweat with the big guys 2.feed them and just talk 3. Develop your own in jokes that the rest of the team just doesn't get....yet tries to copy .. #hogfbchat
  • CoachHemming Mar 26 @ 9:47 PM EDT
    A4: I don’t know what it is with me, but I have always had a good connection with the OL coach at whatever school I have been at and looked to them as a mentor, they protect my QBs! Nothing but love to them! #hogfbchat
  • CoachKunz59 Mar 26 @ 9:47 PM EDT
    A4: Dinner. #Hogfbchat
  • Trench_CoachJJ Mar 26 @ 9:47 PM EDT
    Q4: Have a “family dinner” with the group. Introduce ourselves and outline the expectations. Re-iterate that as a coach I will be there for them and I will have there back. What happens in the oline room STAYS in the oline room #hogfbchat
  • CoachWertz12 Mar 26 @ 9:47 PM EDT
    A1: looking for best fit, if you can coach you can coach. I can adapt to scheme. But the fit has to be there, with the kids, the HC and the other dudes in the office. A fractured staff if NOT bueno #hogfbchat
  • CoachBennett32 Mar 26 @ 9:47 PM EDT
    A4: first thing you have to do with the OL is let them know 2 things. 1. You care about them and their success. 2. The standard for work ethic is non wavering and expected everyday for every player. This puts everyone on the same level #hogfbchat
  • FISTFootball Mar 26 @ 9:47 PM EDT
    A4: If it’s early in the off-season I’ll actually lift with the guys. I will make the linemen lift with the linemen and I’ll work in. If it’s later in, towards camp, I try to get them to stay after and we Toss the ball around and get to know each other. #hogfbchat
  • 11across Mar 26 @ 9:47 PM EDT
    A3: Two. OL already must know about shared glory, so inherent in good OL coaches. Having two coaches only strengthens the unit/pack mentality, and helps w/ skills development, having more eyes to evaluate & assess. Harder to feed would be only drawback #priceyoupay #hogfbchat
    • CoachDingus - Moderator Mar 26 @ 9:35 PM EDT
      Q3: If given the opportunity and means, would you rather hire one OL coach or two? (Ext Line and Int Line) Why or Why Not? #hogfbchat
  • kdawgswift Mar 26 @ 9:47 PM EDT

  • Martidou14092 Mar 26 @ 9:47 PM EDT
  • CoachStone_ Mar 26 @ 9:47 PM EDT
    A4: Done multiple things to bond with them.Buffett dinner,fat man football, extra lift sessions and lift with them,even have a Bible Study.Being able to relate and gain their trust is huge.They must know we ride together we die together,family even after they graduate #hogfbchat
    In reply to @CoachShiffman
  • CoachColeJr Mar 26 @ 9:47 PM EDT
    A4: Easy. Buy the boys pizza. Hang out, get to know them. Don't put on a front, the kids will see right through it. If you feed them and hang out while just being yourself you'll earn their trust way faster than being bill bad ass and yelling about nonsense. #hogfbchat
  • bk3320 Mar 26 @ 9:47 PM EDT
    A4. Keep it simple. And allow the OL to come up with their line calls. The like that and it helps with the buy in. #Hogfbchat

    A4) Just hangout with the OL. Show how valuable they are, too many dummies think the OL is a lesser position because no fame. #hogfbchat
    In reply to @CoachShiffman
  • dhhs_oline Mar 26 @ 9:48 PM EDT
    a4 #hogfbchat show that you support them, but also get to know them...whether it's going to their winter/spring events, going for wings together, etc. Real easy for OL guys to bond over good food
  • coachtbrock Mar 26 @ 9:48 PM EDT
    A4. I’d want to have a meeting with them. Explain who I am. Where I came from. How I coach. Want to get to know them more as a person than a player. Once they see that then they’ll trust you. #hogfbchat
  • CoachMillerOL Mar 26 @ 9:48 PM EDT
    A4. I wanted to meet the kids so we could establish a solid report. That way they know they can trust that I will do everything I can to help them achieve their goals. #hogfbchat
  • SparksOLine Mar 26 @ 9:48 PM EDT
    A4: Get to know the kids. Build the relationships. I watched a ton of old film so I could come in and fix things they were doing poorly right away to gain trust and show that I was all in #HOGFBCHAT
  • CoachPond53 Mar 26 @ 9:48 PM EDT

  • Coach_Adam_Mac Mar 26 @ 9:48 PM EDT
    A4: be seen! And do it year round! Athletes (especially in HS) respond better to you when they see you are just as dedicated as they are #hogfbchat
  • Coach_Ram8 Mar 26 @ 9:48 PM EDT
    A4: Group meeting first. Usually food involved. Then individual meetings. One on one. Learn their names IMMEDIATELY. And call them by their names. Nicknames are awesome too. And always lead by example. I won’t ask them to do anything I wouldn’t do myself. #hogfbchat
  • GrizzlyBeard78 Mar 26 @ 9:48 PM EDT
    Get them together and explain what your goals are and have them understand you’re there to be their biggest supporter and set what your expectations are for practice, games, film, etc... #hogfbchat
  • CoachSilvernail Mar 26 @ 9:48 PM EDT
    A4: In the past I've had the unit over for a pasta dinner, that got expensive lol. Now I usually have meetings weekly and allow the guys to ask questions about anything they may want to know about me. I try to be as transparent as possible. #hogfbchat
  • CoachMBounds Mar 26 @ 9:48 PM EDT
    Workouts together or some sort of team bonding. Much bigger than football. OL gotta trust each other on and off the field. #hogfbchat
  • MinOfOffense Mar 26 @ 9:49 PM EDT
    A4: Tell them that I don't know who my biological father is. Show them that there is someone who has grown up with the same situation that some of them know. This builds trust. #hogfbchat

    A4: Gotta get in the weight room with them. No other positionquite demands it like that one. Need to be present and working with them #hogfbchat
  • Trench_CoachJJ Mar 26 @ 9:49 PM EDT
    A4: enforce the idea that we are on the most important group on the field. Just like other families our oline family will have its downs and in order to get through them, we will need to lean on each other and fight through it #hogfbchat
  • CoachWertz12 Mar 26 @ 9:49 PM EDT
    A2: well I’ve never hired an OL coach but I’d probably say the things I’d look for most in a good OL guy are, detail oriented, understands various techniques and can implement them, will they be a good fit with the kids I have. Scheme will come. #hogfbchat
  • BSimmons25 Mar 26 @ 9:49 PM EDT
    You don’t win without good OL play. #HOGFBCHAT
    In reply to @coach_mallard, @CoachShiffman
  • fritts57 Mar 26 @ 9:49 PM EDT
    A4: when first came over to new spot, showed passion for position in Meetings and at practice. Didn’t let other coaches or players “cut” on the OL. Established OL dinners and used “point drill” to tell some bad jokes once in a while. #hogfbchat
  • CoachTreyStille Mar 26 @ 9:49 PM EDT
    A4: GET TO KNOW THE KIDS. When people know you care about them as a PERSON, they’re far more likely to trust you and follow you. #hogfbchat
  • CoachRmcD60 Mar 26 @ 9:49 PM EDT
    A4 lay out your expectations from the jump so everyone is on same page and they know what to expect #hogfbchat
  • CoachBrassard Mar 26 @ 9:49 PM EDT
    A4: I wanna meet with them as a unit and talk. Share some stories. What do they love about football, what do they hate, what do they love about OL, spend time getting them to believe in and love each other. Also, take them to dinner or lunch or some kind of food #hogfbchat
  • CoachLogBurgess Mar 26 @ 9:49 PM EDT
    A4: Meet with your guys ASAP. Start building trust and relationships as soon as you can. OL Success requires trust. #hogfbchat
  • ScottEnyeart Mar 26 @ 9:50 PM EDT
    A4: bond over food. Anything involving food wins linemen over. #hogfbchat
    In reply to @CoachShiffman
  • Coach_Matthess Mar 26 @ 9:50 PM EDT
    A4) Love to have the team over for a little fellowship & FOOD. Its important to just learn about them and what things they are passionate about, they need to know they are more than a football player to me! #hogfbchat
  • JLBrown64 Mar 26 @ 9:50 PM EDT
    A4) Get them to bond over being big guys. I call my skill players "pretty boy" because they love to look the part. Linemen don't need to look any type of way, just be willing to communicate and outwork the other front. Have your linemen find comfort in being a unit #hogfbchat
  • coach_ecardinal Mar 26 @ 9:50 PM EDT
    Teams are/should be a family. An o. line is an elite brotherhood within that. The o. line coach has to work build that o.l. comradarie. An o. line pride mentality that includes the big hogs and the little piglets is an important 1st step #hogfbchat
  • Coach_MarkBrown Mar 26 @ 9:50 PM EDT
    A4: Individual player meetings so we can get to know each other. Then group meetings to know the groups personality as well. #hogfbchat
  • NickStro66 Mar 26 @ 9:50 PM EDT
    A4 support them and show them very early how much you care about them. Meet with them as a group and individually and make sure everyone is working towards the same goal #hogfbchat
  • prizmaticusa Mar 26 @ 9:50 PM EDT
    A4) Meetings, getting to know the kids, understanding strengths and weaknesses.... and of course pizza to kick everything off! #hogfbchat
  • coach_giles54 Mar 26 @ 9:50 PM EDT
    A3: 2 however, i don’t think i would split the line often. Working together as 5 is important. The great part of this is having more eyes in the sky. I run into the issue of the guys in the booth not understanding line play would be great to have an OL guy up there. #hogfbchat
    In reply to @CoachDingus
  • coachtwalters Mar 26 @ 9:50 PM EDT
    A4) I have always held a meeting with just OL to get to know each other and begin establishing my culture for the OL. I still have that meeting every spring to continue that connection. I'm meeting with them next week. #hogfbchat

  • CoachJohnDye Mar 26 @ 9:51 PM EDT
    A4. Anything to start building the relationships with them, dinner, pool party, anything to show them that you care outside of football. As far as football goes, show them you know what you’re talking about and that OL means everything to you. #hogfbchat
  • CoachShemby Mar 26 @ 9:51 PM EDT
    A4 - Have to feed them! I grilled and had my wife make cookies. I make shirts that have a catchy phrase that I am psycho about only selling to only OL and their families. I want those guys to know I have their back 100%...god or bad until they pass...or I do. #hogfbchat

  • Coach_Vacc Mar 26 @ 9:51 PM EDT
    A4) knockout what we both believe in with what I am teaching QBs with what he was teaching the guys upfront. Figure out where we may see things differently and come to an agreement on what is best for our guys. Not everyone likes hot sauce on their eggs! #hogfbchat

    #hogfbchat A4: I think every year is like a new job. Our turnover is every 2yrs, so each OL is 'new'. I try to ID leaders or potential leaders and empower them and encourage them to take charge. We want leaders to be encouragers! Held and hold others accountable, but encouraging.
  • PigSkinCoach Mar 26 @ 9:53 PM EDT
    A4 make them toe the line from jump street, sit up in meetings, eye contact, yes sir/no sir, effort, practice attire set the ground work of expectations, rewards are direct reflection of meeting expectations #hogfbchat

  • ifs47 Mar 26 @ 9:55 PM EDT
    A4) As OC the OL needs to know you have their back and believe that they are the backbone and cornerstone of what you’re trying to do. Having our QBs develop unique relationships with each guy is a priority #hogfbchat

    A3: I’d much rather have two, two sets of eyes better then one. At least have two guys on the offense who are OL competent. Can be even more important if you have schemes where you flip your line or if you introduce a Y or H into the blocking scheme frequently. #hogfbchat
