Is tackling a "lost" art?
Coach Nowlin replied to gopher2's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
Team Sessions are just that, FIT UP or THUD UP and quick whistle: We also have to be wary of issues of Scout team vs 1st Team Defense, some days so real poor matchups for Scout, we try to get some Varsity OL to play Scout OL to give the best look possible. When we go team sessions we 100% are looking for perfect alignment, technique and auto adjustments, pad levels off snap and 11 hats to the ball every rep. No focus on getting the guy to the ground. I am big with our LBs making sure their hips are down and like you said, running feet and not taking shortcuts, its something you have to harp on from day 1 of summer. Our typical week: Monday, Film, lift, condition, light walk thru sometimes. Tuesday: Install, O and Def fundamentals in your groups, this is where we do most of our Wheel tackles, pursuit drills, 7 on 7, rally drills, DL work on their drills such as splitting doubles,, wrong arm, work against traps, et. al. Modified short Team sessions as well. Wed: ALL TEAM Sessions as we only have usually about 1 hour and 40 minutes to practice, we have to be off the field by 5:45 for "church night" We do not get out to the field and taped up and stretched until about 4 daily. Thursday: Full team script: Special teams to O and D, light walk thru, some sessions just on air for us offensively Friday: Game on Saturday: 7 a,m. Stretch, weight room, conditioning. . -

I CANNOT LIKE THIS STATEMENT ENOUGH I believe our tackling the last few years has also improved greatly and we also do not live to ground at all. We use wheels, non contact drills to emphasis technique, lots of reps on angles both as team and within position groups. -
I really believe they will snag this Hornsby kid too out of Texas. The NW verbal, 4 star WR absolutely looked at Fitz offense vs Brohm and how they develop and throw to WR and flat out made a business decision. If I was a DB, I would look at PU from the simple fact of who you would be competing against in practice daily to get to that level to earn a check on Sundays. I believe I read that Brohm's initial JC/Grad Portal OL and DL targets were all off the board else where, so maybe there will be another wave he has in mind. But yes, that and potential of a Grad Transfer QB is being talked about, but I rather get the kid in Texas. every national recruiting service last 2 years.

we ran the ball 63 times inside Lucas Oil Stadium in 2014 on our way to state title against a team that was supposed to out athlete us as well. Outsized us significantly as well. Hey, I like that style of offense !!! -

I watched the entire De La Salle vs Clayton valley from 2017 on Hudl since I was sent it from Coach Murphy. That was 2 years ago, I hope that was still within the same time frame of relevancy for you. -

Then why is it a bad thing to be different at Noblesville ? Whats the difference? that was in reference to why does your comments about Nobleville not apply to Center Grove? You hit the nail on the head, weight room is the epicenter to any successful football program and that will not change. Center Grove looks to have an outstanding SOPH QB, glad he is ok running the wing t I believe most offensives are built for some sort of misdirection, deception, some focus more than others, but RPO is no different than misdirection of option/T / or Wing T football. You are getting eyes on somewhere else then where you are attacking. Football is the greatest game on the face of this Earth, one of the many reasons, you can have success doing things differently than others. Its a thing of beauty. -

D1 kids come out of Center Grove What is the difference? Also, why do you keep calling it a "gimmick" offense? I will ask again, why has anyone else not been able to do it then? Win with Spread at Noblesville? Is the Wing t gimmick offense? -

Glad you brought up CG who has been very successful 6a program in the MIC primarily running the classic Wing t Sure they have some Spread 2 min stuff they do, we all do, but the one that makes the bacon is the wing t and center grove has no problem selling that to their community all these years -

Point, IF YOUR TEAM AND COMMUNITY BELIEVE IN THE SYSTEM IN PLACE, YOU CAN HAVE SUCCESS in 2019 just as well as in 2009, 1999, 1989 Why is it that Russ Radke has success? Why is it that Bart Curtis took Warsaw to their 1st sectional championship in school history in year 2? Why cannot that be duplicated at Noblesville? Time of possession is your best defense -

Strong sure, big not necessarily Game of football is about leverage and pad levels. Size helps if you are running RPO/ZONE Schemes POWER T is scheme relies on great pullers, leverage, double teams and great action in the back field. That is why NAVY can go against some teams that are bigger than themselves and have success, pad level -

Just to remind folks Kevin Wright at Warren lost 5 total games, 1st year regional to BD, then rattle off 3 straight State championships. Under Center, triple option flexbone with DUDES -

Coach Nowlin replied to FormerCoach's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
Last time the Millers had a winning record was 2001 Simmons Spread Schieb spread They are qualified offensive minded coaches It is ok to be different. Different can work Kevin Wright ran flexbone at Warren Central, I think that turned out ok, why didn't he get in all shotgun spread ????? -
After the 1st singing period: https://247sports.com/Season/2020-Football/CompositeTeamRankings/ Purdue 30th Louisville: 39th IU 50th Illinois 64th Rutgers 67th Maybe a couple difference maker on rankings left to be signed but as it stands right now Big Winner last 4 weeks: Scott Frost and Nebraska: big finish in December leaped them into 20th. I believe that there could be a big 4 star QB out of Texas that could have given Boilers the David Bell, Rondale Moore, big time silent verbal and will do the hat dance live at the US All America game just like Bell and Moore did. Down to Baylor Purdue, Oregon If he jumps with the Boilers, could push them into top 25 range.

49th in the nation as well. Official rankings will not be done until 2nd signing date in February.

Which begs the question: Isn't the goal to win games for the school and not turn out D1 athletes?? -

Coach Nowlin replied to FormerCoach's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
I would agree with that sentiment as well. However, there are plenty of other opportunities to showcase talents other than Friday Night game film and stats. -

Purdue just signed a 4 star QB out of New Jersey https://www.maxpreps.com/athlete/michael-alaimo/kmw7wHGLEea-8KA2nzwbTA/football/stats.htm Brohm in his presser made mention to the fact that do not let the stats fool you, he plays in a great tough conference and his HS teams win and he is a big part of the reason but not because he is throwing 40 times a game. Speaking of running offenses and big schools: This guy does pretty good out in California, just won a state title, their old conference kicked them out a year earlier and bumped them into De La Salle's conference. https://www.coachtimmurphy.com/#/ This is where we got out double tight single wing 86% run offense as well. -

No Sir Old school T Lots of misdirection and window dressings I know we scrimmaged them I believe in 2016 at East Chicago, I think they scored 8 our 12 plays from 40 out, mostly untouched. They were pretty good that year. -
The pain of the 2nd sentence is just too much.

North-South All Star Coaches?
Coach Nowlin replied to OldGriz's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
His region would have to 1st, nominate him for the honor of coaching in the game, next coach himself would have to express interest in being the HC of the South, All 5 HC from each region have an opportunity to throw their hat in the ring to be HC of the North or South. From there, if there are muliptle hats in the ring, IFCA members from each region's such as Region Director, Ast Coach Rep, etc etc get a an email with the resume of each coach who applied. Only time that I know of it wasn't done this way was 50th, when the Legends were brought back
