How to Coach Your Team to Handle Adversity | FBCP S19E14
Resiliency is one of the hardest things to train in High School football. In a world where technology continues to make every day life easier and easier, we have to make kids understand that being uncomfortable and straining won’t end them...

Coaching the
Fundamentals of Cover 3
| FBCP S19E13
Cover 3 may be the best HS coverage possible. Cover 1 probably holds the crown as the best overall coverage, if you have the cats to run it. Cover 3 just answers all the questions, while being simple to understand, run, and problem solve with...

Our Tackling is Inconsistent | FBCP S19E12
Tackling may be the bane of every DC’s existence, especially when trying to turn a program around. It’s also the part of football that has evolved the most…

Effort is Fading Late in Season | FBCP S19E11
The season is a GRIND. Not just for you, but for your players. It’s a grind for the starting QB, it’s a grind for the Sophomore that’s having to play up on Fridays, and it’s a grind for the freshmen that practice week in...

Our Team Doesn’t Play with Confidence | FBCP S19E10
A lack of confidence in a football player is almost never an actual lack of confidence. What does that mean? Well, you can’t go to the gym and workout your confidence muscles...

Our Practices Feel Stagnant and Boring | FBCP S19E09
Coach, your kids are bored… and it’s 100% YOUR FAULT. Okay, extreme ownership says everything is your fault, so you already knew that. But, really, you’ve planned a boring and stagnant practice, so that’s exactly how it feels.

We Cant Stop Dual-Threat QBs | FBCP S19E08
“The one kid that keeps DCs up at night,” aka the dual-threat QB who is nearly impossible to contain. I bet you’ve coached against (or been lucky enough to coach with) at least one of these in your career. All of football seems to be going in the direction of putting the most athletic kid at QB and let him get loose!...
JOE DANIEL / SEPTEMBER 18, 2025
We Struggle to Get Pressure on the
Quarterback | FBCP S19E07
Getting Pressure on High School Quarterbacks is quite the challenge. Between terrible fundamentals by HS O-Linemen, to quick game, to QBs generally being run first athletes, you have to really drive home the point of getting D-Linemen to the QB...
JOE DANIEL / SEPTEMBER 11, 2025
We Can’t Move the Ball Consistently | FBCP S19E06
At some point we all struggle with it… consistently moving the ball down the field. You lose a player, the defense has you out-manned, there can always be something to slow you down. But, you can do more before the season starts to prevent it from happening...
JOE DANIEL / SEPTEMBER 04, 2025
We Have No Identity as a Team | FBCP S19E05
In this episode of 'The Football Coaching Podcast,' hosts Daniel Chamberlain and Joe Daniel discuss the current excitement of scrimmage week and share insights into recent college football strategies....

We Don't Have Enough Depth! | FBCP S19E04
Depth wins championships. It doesn’t matter how talented your starters are — if you’ve got no one ready to step in when it counts, you’re in trouble. Backups matter. Depth matters. And if you’re not preparing those guys now, you’ll pay for it later...
JOE DANIEL / AUGUST 21, 2025
We Can’t Keep Up with Spread Offenses | FBCP S19E03
There isn’t a perfect defensive scheme in football. Let’s say that again, there isn’t a perfect defensive scheme in football. They all work. Pro’s and Con’s… sure they exist. But, the truth is, every modern defense should be able to work successfully against any offensive scheme, you just have to remain adaptable...
JOE DANIEL / AUGUST 14, 2025
Our Offensive Line Gets Overpowered | FBCP S19E02
The offensive line is the HEART of your football team. It doesn’t matter what the skill level of everyone else on the field is, you win or lose behind the O-Line. If yours is getting steam rolled each and every game, you’re likely losing each and every game...
JOE DANIEL / AUGUST 07, 2025
I Feel Like I’m Coaching Alone | FBCP S19E01
We often hear, “Your players won’t be as passionate and committed as you are.” What we don’t hear as often is that your coaches may not be on your level either. Sometimes you’re going to get a guy, or multiple guys, that you have to win games with, but may not be on the same level of football coaching as you...
JOE DANIEL / JULY 31, 2025
Our Players Don’t Execute on Game Day | FBCP S18E21
Practice doesn’t always equal performance. You can dominate the practice field all week, but if it doesn’t show up under the lights on Friday night… something’s missing. Maybe practice wasn’t hard enough. Maybe the scout team didn’t look anything like your opponent. Or maybe your kids just didn’t buy in...
JOE DANIEL / JULY 24, 2025
We’re Not Getting the Most Out of Our Talent | FBCP S18E20
Coaching is a game of efficiency. Don’t run too much, or you’ll be tired. Don’t run too little, or you’re out of shape. Don’t tackle too much or you’re risking injury… too little, well you get the point. We have to find the best way to get the most out of the talent on our team...
JOE DANIEL / JULY 17, 2025
We Struggle to Call Plays Under Pressure | FBCP S18E19
Calling plays when the lights are brightest, things aren’t going your way, or the game is on the line can be a challenge. Especially for coaches who haven’t experienced it before, you can start to be too aggressive or pull too many punches. But, it’s something you can get better at...

Our Players are Out of Shape in the 4th Quarter | FBCP S18E18
We’ve unfortunately all been there… the 4th Quarter starts and our best 11 have their hands on their knees and are too exhausted to perform up to the standard. It’s cost many coaches a game or two, but there is a way to prevent it from ever happening again.
JOE DANIEL / JULY 03, 2025
We Give Up Too Many Big Plays | FBCP S18E17
In a game of inches, giving up “busts” or Big Plays can quickly become a mistake too big to overcome. The other sideline earns a paycheck too, so you likely can’t stamp out big plays altogether, but you can get your team to limit them enough...
JOE DANIEL /JUNE 26, 2025
We Make Too Many Mental Mistakes! | FBCP S18E16
Undisciplined teams lose games. And sloppy habits in practice show up under the lights.

We Waste Too Much Time in Practice | FBCP S18E15
Wasted time in practice leads to unprepared players on game day. And with limited hours on the field, every minute has to count...

Our Offense is Stagnant | FBCP S18E14
A stagnant offense can stall an entire season — even with the right athletes on the field. But constantly adding new plays without structure usually leads to confusion, not results...

We Keep Losing Close Games | FBCP S18E13
The end of the game of football can be intense! The crowd, the officials, the clock… they all add extra pressure to an already high pressure game. If you keep finding yourself on the losing end of close games, it’s likely that you, your coaches, and your players don’t understand the situation(s) they are in during crunch time...
JOE DANIEL / MAY 29, 2025
Our Defense is too Undisciplined | FBCP S18E12
An undisciplined defense can bring even the best program to its knees. But, as schemes become more and more complex to try to match the offenses running all over the field, the byproduct is often undisciplined chaos...
JOE DANIEL / MAY 22, 2025
Our Special Teams Aren’t Special | FBCP S18E11
Special Teams, the Third Side of the Ball, can be a secret weapon or a glaring flaw for your team this year. If you keep chasing different schemes week after week, or year after year, you’ll never learn to problem solve within your own game...

My Players Won’t Buy In to the System | FBCP S18E10

We Don’t Have Enough Players to Win | FBCP S18E09
Across the Nation there are teams that are struggling to keep the program afloat due to low numbers. The game is slowly dying, and we’re all paying the price. But, you don’t have to watch your program die off...

We Aren’t Tough Enough to Win | FBCP S18E08
It seems like every coach on Earth has the same three complaints: We aren’t fast enough, we don’t have as many players as the other teams, and we aren’t tough enough. But, a general consensus of multiple 30+ year coaches says kids haven’t changed… expectations have...
JOE DANIEL / APRIL 24, 2025
My Coaching Staff Isn’t on the Same Page | FBCP S18E07
A football coaching staff is often made up of a bunch of the same type of people. Those people aren’t great at communicating, they all think their way is the best way, and often they won’t even speak the same language due to the influence of different coaching trees throughout their careers. Sometimes that inability to communicate can hurt the team...

How to Beat Teams That Have More Talent | FBCP S18E06
Every year, the law of averages says you’ll face at least two teams that simply have better talent than you do. But, you don’t have to concede those games. You can have a plan to go out and beat them on the gridiron...

I Have No Support from Parents or Administration | FBCP S18E04
The success of a team is tied to so many variables. X’s and O’s can’t win every game. Jimmy’s and Joe’s can take you far, but how can we get those guys on the field if we aren’t at a powerhouse school? Your support chain, the parents, admin, community, all play a very large role in the success of a team...

I Don’t Have Time to Coach the Right Things | FBCP S18E03
Practice makes perfect. WRONG! Perfect practice makes perfect… any your 3 hour practices aren’t perfect. In today’s game, the science says less is more when it comes to “getting in work.” Your extended practices are making your players worse on Friday night...

Our Passing Game Sucks! | FBCP S18E02
So, your passing game is broken. Your QB is terrible, your receivers can’t catch, the O-Line can’t block a soul… we’ve been there. Luckily, you don’t have to install a non-passing offense and become one dimensional...

Everything You Need to Know about Relational Coaching | FBCP S18E00
Around the globe, football coaches are calling versions of the exact same football plays on offense. But, we aren’t all calling them the same. Some are flipping through a roll-a-dex of plays in their mind, “calling on instinct,” while others are easily answering questions that the defense asks...

Solving Problems with Your Play Calling | FBCP S1722
Friday Nights in the fall to the common person is about Friday Night Lights, “the boys of fall,” and the 11 v 11 competition on the field. For the coaches on the sidelines, Friday nights are just an “unstandardized test.” We’ve studied all week, and now we just have to solve the problems as they come along...

Coaching the Dime Package in Quarters Coverage | FBCP S17E19
Quarters coverage, with man or zone match principles, can be one of the best defensive coverages in football if you get the proper reps and communication. But, there are even options within the coverage, a dime package as Joe was introduced to it, that allows you to be more efficient and look more complex...
