First question in 2 minutes! Talking about Friday communication! (This may wind up being a 2 parter, if it goes well) #wvhsfbchat

WVFBCHAT - Moderator Mar 5 @ 9:08 PM EST

Using simple Q/A format make sure to start responses with A1-2-3 and close with #wvhsfbchat here we go....

WVFBCHAT - Moderator Mar 5 @ 9:09 PM EST

Q1: easy one! what type headsets are you using on Fridays and on a scale of 1-10 how satisfied, why or why not? #wvhsfbchat

CoachRmcD60 Mar 5 @ 9:11 PM EST

A1 porta phone gold series wireless. 8 they are pretty user friendly will drop signal sometimes which is infuriating on a Friday #wvhsfbchat

Coach_Timmerman Mar 5 @ 9:11 PM EST

A1) We use Portafone and they've been very reliable. Only a few minor issues. 9/10 #wvhsfbchat

slade248 Mar 5 @ 9:11 PM EST

Q1 We have the wireless Porta phones, they sometimes get a screeching sound at times. I would give them a 7 #wvhsfbchat

WVFBCHAT - Moderator Mar 5 @ 9:09 PM EST

Q1: easy one! what type headsets are you using on Fridays and on a scale of 1-10 how satisfied, why or why not? #wvhsfbchat

CoachDMsBeard Mar 5 @ 9:11 PM EST

A1. We use wireless portaphone headsets. They are good. No complains. Work up top and on sidelines. #wvhsfbchat

WVFBCHAT - Moderator Mar 5 @ 9:13 PM EST

A1: Coachcomm connex series, 4..not very pleased not very durable signal is dull and some headsets starting to short on yr 2 #wvhsfbchat

coachrugs Mar 5 @ 9:13 PM EST

A1: Porta-a-Phone -7 Pretty reliable, but there are a few times when we lose each other on Fridays, which is tough. #wvhsfbchat

WVFBCHAT - Moderator Mar 5 @ 9:15 PM EST

Q2: What kind of information are are you looking for from the coach on the other end of your headset? #wvhsfbchat

CoachTuell Mar 5 @ 9:15 PM EST

Gary Tuell Asst HC/OC Sapulpa OK #wvhsfbchat

CoachByrd_ Mar 5 @ 9:16 PM EST

A1: We had Coach Comm Connex wired with the battery packs for each headset pretty good for how old they were #wvhsfbchat

CoachRmcD60 Mar 5 @ 9:16 PM EST

Down distance hash front how ends playing backside #wvhsfbchat

CoachTuell Mar 5 @ 9:16 PM EST

A1: refurbished coach comm they stink had issues all season 2 out of 10 #wvhsfbchat

CoachJBarker Mar 5 @ 9:17 PM EST

Portaphone headsets, and we'd rate them about a 3 outta 10, issues with batteries and mics going out #wvhsfbchat

In reply to @WVFBCHAT

Coach_Timmerman Mar 5 @ 9:17 PM EST

A2) As OL coach I relay what the box looks like & how its developing to our other OL coach. I also chart plays for our OC #wvhsfbchat

CoachDMsBeard Mar 5 @ 9:17 PM EST

A2. I am the offensive coach in the box. I tell what the front is. How many safeties, and if we have any uncovered receivers. #wvhsfbchat

LCGrizzlyFB Mar 5 @ 9:17 PM EST

A2) D & D, hash, secondary coverage, what are they doing with motion. #wvhsfbchat

IMFB_Blog Mar 5 @ 9:18 PM EST

A1) port a phone. Not satisfied. Battery dies quick. #wvhsfbchat

IMFB_Blog Mar 5 @ 9:19 PM EST

A2) D/D, where's the 3-tech, coverage, any hot chicks?? #wvhsfbchat

CoachTuell Mar 5 @ 9:19 PM EST

A2: any alignments/adjustments etc and how it relates to our scheme and game plan Don't want much during the series more between #wvhsfbchat

CoachJBarker Mar 5 @ 9:19 PM EST

A2 Looking defensive alignment in the box, personnel matchups we've scouted, and safety depth #wvhsfbchat

In reply to @WVFBCHAT

WVFBCHAT - Moderator Mar 5 @ 9:19 PM EST

A2: I call the D, I want formation and personnel and let me do my thing... try to let position coaches do all subing and coach! #wvhsfbchat

CoachByrd_ Mar 5 @ 9:19 PM EST

A2: Im in the press box guys on the field have be great communicating adjustments and coaching points DL coach was great at this #wvhsfbchat

JasonBulldogfb Mar 5 @ 9:19 PM EST

A2: Down/distance and fronts.#wvhsfbchat

CoachDMsBeard Mar 5 @ 9:19 PM EST

A2 Also let OC know know how the D adjusts to motion and look for what they are giving us. #wvhsfbchat

slade248 Mar 5 @ 9:21 PM EST

Q2 Also we are no huddle and very fast so I like to know hash, and down and distance quickly #wvhsfbchat

CoachDMsBeard Mar 5 @ 9:21 PM EST

that is how I wish we did it. The OL coach I want to be there with my guys. OC is on sideline for us. #wvhsfbchat

In reply to @slade248

coachrugs Mar 5 @ 9:23 PM EST

A2: It seems most people are O guys on this, but I'm a dark side of the ball guy. Personnel, formations, D&D are big for us. . #wvhsfbchat

WVFBCHAT - Moderator Mar 5 @ 9:23 PM EST

Q3: what are the biggest challenges you experience with coaches communication on a Friday night? How will you address it this yr #wvhsfbchat

CoachDMsBeard Mar 5 @ 9:24 PM EST

for sure. I like it up there, just would like to able to talk to my kids between possessions #wvhsfbchat

In reply to @CoachRmcD60, @slade248

slade248 Mar 5 @ 9:25 PM EST

Yeah I always talk to my QB'S after every series. I like to see what he is seeing and thinking. #wvhsfbchat

In reply to @CoachDMsBeard, @CoachRmcD60

LCGrizzlyFB Mar 5 @ 9:25 PM EST

Too much worthless chat, get to point, get info out w/out extra banter. Get to next play, talk in between series. #wvhsfbchat

JasonBulldogfb Mar 5 @ 9:25 PM EST

A3: My previous staff was great only need information on headsets. Jury still out on new staff. #wvhsfbchat

Coach_Timmerman Mar 5 @ 9:26 PM EST

A3) Mainly just when everyone gets preoccupied w/ their own things & forget to put their mics up when people are trying to talk #wvhsfbchat

WVFBCHAT - Moderator Mar 5 @ 9:26 PM EST

A3: our biggest problem is too many coaches with mic on. we have got to do a better job of not sounding like air traffic control #wvhsfbchat

CoachRmcD60 Mar 5 @ 9:26 PM EST

A3 faulty head sets or box coaches not giving me what I needed #wvhsfbchat

IMFB_Blog Mar 5 @ 9:26 PM EST

A3) Guys make suggestions rather than give me my necessary info. "Run the ooptyoop" nah tell me D/D and personnel, young blood #wvhsfbchat

CoachJBarker Mar 5 @ 9:27 PM EST

A3 We are primarily no huddle so substituting is an issue for us at times. Position coaches will be on that this year #wvhsfbchat

In reply to @WVFBCHAT

WVFBCHAT - Moderator Mar 5 @ 9:27 PM EST

Rich Rodriguez highly suggests recording your talk on headsets, I have no idea how to do that though! #wvhsfbchat

coachrugs Mar 5 @ 9:27 PM EST

A3: What needs to be watched/communicated in all 3 phases. Need to do a better job of coaching my coaches. I hate crickets! #wvhsfbchat

CoachDMsBeard Mar 5 @ 9:27 PM EST

A3. We don't have too many issues. As long as everyone keeps their headset on and communicates we are fine #wvhsfbchat

CoachByrd_ Mar 5 @ 9:28 PM EST

A3: Too much meaningless chatter just talking not making adjustments just spewing cliches not #wvhsfbchat

CoachTuell Mar 5 @ 9:29 PM EST

A3: too much talk without specifics as it relates to what we're trying to do. Not paying attention to your cues. Staff mtg #wvhsfbchat

Coach_Timmerman Mar 5 @ 9:29 PM EST

I read this article about Saban's staff a while back. Very relevant to our discussion tonight! @WVFBCHAT #wvhsfbchat https://t.co/4H3KEPzcu2

In reply to @WVFBCHAT

slade248 Mar 5 @ 9:29 PM EST

We limited our headsets to the position coaches that are most important and can give adequate information. #wvhsfbchat

WVFBCHAT - Moderator Mar 5 @ 9:23 PM EST

Q3: what are the biggest challenges you experience with coaches communication on a Friday night? How will you address it this yr #wvhsfbchat

WVFBCHAT - Moderator Mar 5 @ 9:30 PM EST

Ok next questions deal with communicating with your team....great stuff so far guys! #wvhsfbchat

CoachDiG Mar 5 @ 9:30 PM EST

A2: Down, Distance,personnel and formation are always best #wvhsfbchat

In reply to @WVFBCHAT

WVFBCHAT - Moderator Mar 5 @ 9:31 PM EST

Btw if anyone knows how to tape your headset convo let me know #wvhsfbchat

WVFBCHAT - Moderator Mar 5 @ 9:32 PM EST

Q4: how do you communicate with your offense, signals? Bands? Cards? Why? #wvhsfbchat

slade248 Mar 5 @ 9:32 PM EST

Q4 Hand signals, boards and one word calls #wvhsfbchat

WVFBCHAT - Moderator Mar 5 @ 9:32 PM EST

Q4: how do you communicate with your offense, signals? Bands? Cards? Why? #wvhsfbchat

CoachJBarker Mar 5 @ 9:33 PM EST

A4 We do it all. We wrist, we signal, we verbiage, we number. We have 4 (sometimes 5) different ways to call 1 play #wvhsfbchat

In reply to @WVFBCHAT

Coach_Timmerman Mar 5 @ 9:34 PM EST

We use a crazy method where we send the play in verbally w/ a WR after each play. Groundbreaking stuff on the cutting edge lol #wvhsfbchat

CoachByrd_ Mar 5 @ 9:34 PM EST

Q4: Defensively we use hand signals but we do have wristbands with base calls and some exotic stuff in case we need it #wvhsfbchat

WVFBCHAT - Moderator Mar 5 @ 9:32 PM EST

Q4: how do you communicate with your offense, signals? Bands? Cards? Why? #wvhsfbchat

CoachDMsBeard Mar 5 @ 9:34 PM EST

A4 signals for huddle, wrist coach for at the line, and words for Stampeed. #wvhsfbchat

WVFBCHAT - Moderator Mar 5 @ 9:34 PM EST

We are all signals, but o line get their pro or scheme 1 signal from OL coach, Rest comes from Reciever coach, OC in box #wvhsfbchat

LCGrizzlyFB Mar 5 @ 9:35 PM EST

A4) Boards and hand signals only. #wvhsfbchat

HarlowjohnH Mar 5 @ 9:38 PM EST

A4 we use bands with signals. In the past we did one guy calling one calling skill. I liked that system. #wvhsfbchat

CoachDMsBeard Mar 5 @ 9:39 PM EST

A5 color for formation, word for protection, word for play. Everything his tagged as a one word call for stampede. #wvhsfbchat

WVFBCHAT - Moderator Mar 5 @ 9:39 PM EST

Q5: I'm curious with so many OC's in here..how do you keep it short when there is formation motion protection route etc. #wvhsfbchat

CoachJBarker Mar 5 @ 9:39 PM EST

@WVFBCHAT A5 Great question, too little space! #wvhsfbchat

In reply to @WVFBCHAT

slade248 Mar 5 @ 9:40 PM EST

Q4 board Example #wvhsfbchat

WVFBCHAT - Moderator Mar 5 @ 9:40 PM EST

I'm ok with multiple tweets with cont. included....I feel that we are too long.... #wvhsfbchat

In reply to @CoachJBarker

CoachJBarker Mar 5 @ 9:40 PM EST

@WVFBCHAT A5 Our formations and motions are the only thing that could make our play calls long, but evthing else is 1 word #wvhsfbchat

In reply to @WVFBCHAT

Coach_Timmerman Mar 5 @ 9:42 PM EST

A5) Not OC but communicating verbally allows us to be a little lengthy but we still try to keep the words limited to just a few #wvhsfbchat

IMFB_Blog Mar 5 @ 9:42 PM EST

A4) QB runs over so I can yell at him. If he just ran opp field we rotate WR's. Don't tell me some 16 year old is "tired" stop. #wvhsfbchat

IMFB_Blog Mar 5 @ 9:42 PM EST

A4_2) if he's tired your S&C guy blows. #wvhsfbchat

CoachRmcD60 Mar 5 @ 9:43 PM EST

A5 try and create a system to help with teaching but also limit wordiness build in motions to formation calls #wvhsfbchat

CoachJBarker Mar 5 @ 9:43 PM EST

@WVFBCHAT A5 We try and teach 1 word for route concepts and protections Ex. "Dabo Rt Zip 134 Black Butter" long call for us #wvhsfbchat

In reply to @WVFBCHAT

CoachDMsBeard Mar 5 @ 9:43 PM EST

A5. Motions are word in there to. When we speed everything up it is all one word either on the wrist band or from the sideline #wvhsfbchat

IMFB_Blog Mar 5 @ 9:43 PM EST

A5) my biggest struggle in being an OC. offer suggestions plz. #wvhsfbchat

slade248 Mar 5 @ 9:44 PM EST

Q5 Some one word calls or board plays have everything built in! Play fast and simple. #wvhsfbchat

LCGrizzlyFB Mar 5 @ 9:44 PM EST

A5) Our system is really short, all one word each with formation, motion and play. #wvhsfbchat

CoachDMsBeard Mar 5 @ 9:45 PM EST

exactly. One word and the formation, protection and play are all known by he team. Play fast. #wvhsfbchat

In reply to @slade248

WVFBCHAT - Moderator Mar 5 @ 9:47 PM EST

Q6: what communication methods do you use to call your defense and why? #wvhsfbchat

Coach_Grob Mar 5 @ 9:47 PM EST

A5: only Q gets the entire play everyone else just gets what they need. #wvhsfbchat

CoachDMsBeard Mar 5 @ 9:48 PM EST

A6. DC gives Front/stunt/blitz. DBs coach gives the coverage. #wvhsfbchat

CoachDMsBeard Mar 5 @ 9:50 PM EST

A6 DC's calls are words. DB's calls are numbers. Standard stuff. #wvhsfbchat

Coach_Timmerman Mar 5 @ 9:50 PM EST

A6) Pretty sure they use Egyptian hieroglyphs or alien tech honestly. Either that or they just use hand signals. One of those. #wvhsfbchat

LCGrizzlyFB Mar 5 @ 9:50 PM EST

As many as we feel necessary to do what we want. Probably on average 20 plays total, 8-10 formations w/ motion. #wvhsfbchat

In reply to @coachboyneDHS

slade248 Mar 5 @ 9:50 PM EST

Q6 That's the Darkside of the ball #wvhsfbchat

WVFBCHAT - Moderator Mar 5 @ 9:47 PM EST

Q6: what communication methods do you use to call your defense and why? #wvhsfbchat

CoachDMsBeard Mar 5 @ 9:51 PM EST

all of our defensive guys wear bands. As soon as they hear the word or number they have he band as a reference. #wvhsfbchat

In reply to @WVFBCHAT

WVFBCHAT - Moderator Mar 5 @ 9:51 PM EST

A6: Hear a lot of ppl going to bands on D we're still signal. Front/Linemovement/ stunt/cov. Prepared to kill it or change cov. #wvhsfbchat

Coach_Grob Mar 5 @ 9:53 PM EST

A3: only Coordinators have hot mic they're the only chatter unless a question is asked #wvhsfbchat

WVFBCHAT - Moderator Mar 5 @ 9:53 PM EST

Q7: Kids communicating on defense has always been hard for me to perfect... what is everyone doing to ensure they are talking? #wvhsfbchat

CoachRmcD60 Mar 5 @ 9:53 PM EST

Have no idea to busy talking to 5 large men about their lives #wvhsfbchat

HarlowjohnH Mar 5 @ 9:53 PM EST

yeah I don't know what they are doing over there. Lol #wvhsfbchat

In reply to @slade248

CoachDMsBeard Mar 5 @ 9:54 PM EST

A7. We make sure they are taking in practice. Practice how you play. #wvhsfbchat

CoachLHawkins Mar 5 @ 9:55 PM EST

A Play call for us is: Dakota Dodge. Dakota is 3x1 (Right). Dodge is routes (Shallow/Dig) and blocking scheme #wvhsfbchat

In reply to @WVFBCHAT

CoachDMsBeard Mar 5 @ 9:56 PM EST

That's what the weight room is for fellas! Lol! #wvhsfbchat

In reply to @WVFBCHAT, @CoachRmcD60

WVFBCHAT - Moderator Mar 5 @ 9:57 PM EST

A7: great thing for us is blasting music at practice, makes them talk and talk loud also makes the hand signal to one another #wvhsfbchat

CoachLHawkins Mar 5 @ 9:58 PM EST

everything for us is hand signals to skills. QB communicates to line. #wvhsfbchat
