Make Game Day Adjustments as a College Football Coach

Saturday if you're on the road, usually you try to wake the kids up early. You don't want them to really sleep in; you don't want them to really break the way they usually do things. So a breakfast usually about 7am. The kids will come down; they get a first class meal with great food. So the staff, the players will eat. Usually they will have a little down time and after their breakfast, then we come back and we meet, offensively, defensively. Then we'll meet as a special teams unit. Then the head coach will usually address the team. Go grab your stuff out of the hotel room if you're on the road. Then we head to the bus and we're at the game about 3 hours, 2 1/2 -3 hours early and then after that its time to go. If it?s a home game, usually we'll have a little later breakfast. The kids will come in; they eat, come back over to the stadium and do whatever routine, what ever is going to get them ready to play. Then they usually get taped up and hit the training room. Do everything that they need to do, you know, as a staff usually would chumming around. You know, it?s really a lot of down time on a Saturday. And then once that certain time hits its go time. Everybody's in and you try to go out and do your best to go out and win a football game. And hopefully do some celebrating after the game.
