CoachJohnson50 Feb 23 @ 8:48 PM EST

A4: depending on the kids and the coaches you can wager coaches running / pushups. I'm not above it. DL always sucks anyway. 😝😝 #GAHSFBCHAT

Coach_Whit3 Feb 23 @ 8:49 PM EST

Coaches meeting always turns into different subjects that always get you off task #GAHSFBCHAT

A4: This has been a challenge for me since I am also the OC. I want both sides to be successful hard to convince the D sometimes #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachBennett32 Feb 23 @ 8:49 PM EST

A4: I will say, if the offense is getting the better of the defense, I'll stir that pot. I let you know about it. Kids respond #GAHSFBCHAT

coachfisher_rp Feb 23 @ 8:49 PM EST

CoachJTW Feb 23 @ 8:51 PM EST

#gahsfbchat make 5 lose 5. Put the ball on the 50. The offense can only get 5 yards regardless of how big the play ..

WrCoachLeonard Feb 23 @ 8:51 PM EST

#gahsfbchat I like to see our D shut down the offense, and then let them know it! Of course it can bite you when the offense scores.

artink67 Feb 23 @ 8:52 PM EST

A4: We also went PUP & Goaline in 2 platoon system & who ever lost, the coaches had to run 5 sprints #GAHSFBCHAT

GrantMyers44 Feb 23 @ 8:52 PM EST

Q4: Don't let yourself, position group, side of the ball, or philosophy be the weak link in the chain. #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachJTW Feb 23 @ 8:52 PM EST

#gahsfbchat if they get a 30 yard run the ball only moves up 5 yards. If they don't get 5 yards the defense moves the ball back five yards

_CoachTSmith Feb 23 @ 8:52 PM EST

Final question in 2 minutes. Keep it going fellas. #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachJTW Feb 23 @ 8:52 PM EST

gmanoneone Feb 23 @ 8:55 PM EST

A4: something I've done with wr is to split them up as left side and right side & they play def against each other for pushups #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachDothard Feb 23 @ 8:55 PM EST

A4: Goal Line, 7 on 7, & Me being apart of #DBNation born to be on that Island & to trash talk; Always gets the boys going! #GAHSFBCHAT

GrantMyers44 Feb 23 @ 8:57 PM EST

Q5: I'm a big stat guy but at the end of the day the only stay that matters is Ws and Ls, did D allow less than the O scored? #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachArthur71 Feb 23 @ 8:57 PM EST

A5: post game State of the Union's also offer Think Tank discussions of problems #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachJesseLynch Feb 23 @ 8:57 PM EST

A5: Gotta realize we all have the same goal & fight the same fight. The ball bounces funny & the tables could turn quickly. #GAHSFBCHAT

ZacBrayLex Feb 23 @ 8:57 PM EST

A5- can always be better on both sides! Shutout not good enough on D, go score on D! Did O have perfect game? #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachBennett32 Feb 23 @ 8:57 PM EST

A5: You have to be brothers who want 2 see each other succeed. Cant relish in the bad. Defense picks up O and Offense picks up D #GAHSFBCHAT

artink67 Feb 23 @ 8:58 PM EST

A5: it's easier when kids play both ways instead of 2 platoon system. Everybody has to carry their own weight #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachOz79 Feb 23 @ 8:58 PM EST

A5: A group that is carrying one this week might need the other to carry them the following. Can't get down on each other. #GAHSFBCHAT

SandyPants Feb 23 @ 8:58 PM EST

A5 #GAHSFBCHAT let your staff know what your focus is upfront is key. If vision is set out to be a defensive team cool but b great at it.

SSHS_CoachCoons Feb 23 @ 8:59 PM EST

A5. Know your coaches. Hire good guys. #1team1dream players and coaches know what it means to be together through good and bad. #GAHSFBCHAT

CoachDubMaddox Feb 23 @ 8:59 PM EST
