How College Football Coaches Grade Players

Sunday is a very early morning. Sunday as a coach you are responsible to come in and grade your game film. Basically grade your players. So each player will get a grade depending on how they performed in the game the night before. So you'll come in, and usually the head coach will call a staff meeting at noon time. So its your job to have your film graded by a certain time. And then what you'll usually do is you'll come in and grade your tape in the morning. And then you'll meet as a staff either offensively or defensively to get on the same page. So when you go into the full staff meeting you are all on the same page so you can talk to the head coach about the goods and the bads of your unit the night before. Once you've broken the meeting, usually you'll grab a quick lunch. And as the players come in at that time, you'll review the nights game with those guys. Make any corrections give them their grade sheets. And then Sundays, we have a practice, but it?s usually a glorified run lift. Let the acid, the acid that built up in the kids, usually go out, have a little base walk through. Maybe a 10-20 minute walk through, and then the strength coach usually takes over. Run lifts the kids. Gets everything, lifts everything from the beating, hopefully the beating they gave, but you know obviously football is a contact sport. So your body is obviously going to be sore so just let the kids get it all out of their system. Address the game, win or loose, is what the head coach will do. And then it?s on to the next opponent. Sunday for the staff is a very late night. Probably the latest night we'll be in there. Breaking down the film for the people we're going to play, so we can get the information into the computers. So it can spit out all the data we need to put together a game plan. So Sunday is probably a midnight till one in the morning, very very late night. It?s going to take a long time, a lot of caffeine intake through the coaches. But it?s a, you know you only do it 12 weeks a year, so you've got to put in everything you have. A lot goes into the game on Saturday is really done on Sunday. So Sunday is a very long day and just part of the deal.
