Do coaches ever mix it up at practice?

[mj4president]

Just curious if the coaches ever lace up the keds, strap up the helmet/pads and play their position to help coach?

This should be fun.

I've heard rumors of Bielema and Anderson taking off their shirts, rubbing their bellies with baby oil, and practicing their Sumo techniques.

I don't think ours have, but I read where some team was playing GaTech and the HC had been an option QB in college, so he ran the scout team offense, pads and all. Basically he could do it better than someone who's never ran the option.

Scott Frost did in order to help his team prepare for the option against Navy.

No, but there's dance offs with opposing coaches.

That was Scott Frost at USF prepping for Navy.

There ya go.

[RebelliousHog]

And yes Navy not GaTech. Hey my recollection was in the general area of truth.

[Ragnar Hogbrok]

Enos should coach defense, Rhoads should coach offense. And someone should coach special teams. How's that for mixing it up?

[clutch]

Scott Frost did, however, he's in a lot better shape than your typical college football coach. He looks like he could still play.

I coach middle school and as a staff we jump in all the time to try to demonstrate and help the kids see but we don't dress out or go all out. I've seen our high school coaches jump in and demonstrate in live action too... again no pads.

[Captain Morgan]

Not Bielema just walks around with his whistle while the other coaches prep their positions. Nothing hands on at all from the coach. It will be nice to have a change in practice strategy

That's a disturbing picture, I'm now concerned about you for imagining this in your mind. Fetish is the word that comes to mind.

Just poking fun lol. No pun intended ha ha

[Grumpypenguin]

I'm sure Bielema switches it up between fried chicken and steak

Had our hs coach do that and he got deflated the first play. Didn't get up, then got up slowly. 

[Captain Morgan]

from what I've been told he just walks around with his whistle and depends on his inferior assistant coaches to do their job. Steadily he has that confused look on his face. Its sad and psthetic bcuz he's the head of the program and needed to be more hands on in practice and not hands on at the Catfish Hole

Classic. Do they hang sumo chains off their chest protrusions?

[Tigaman]

Why would they mix up practice when they practice so well.

[theFlyingHog]

Saw one of my jr high coaches have a flashback or some crap and lay a player out cold. He didn't laugh when we gave him a helmet sticker

[Hogwild]

From Bruce Feldman's book Meat Market Coach O

He then stopped and said, "One more thing. If any of you mother...
thinks you can take me, you come up here and get a piece of me right now."
He gave everyone an opportunity to come up and fight him and said,
"That's what I thought," and walked out of the room.

In another story, Lane was out passing with another player, and Coach O apparently ran up to
him, tackled him, stripped the ball, and took off running down the field.

Sometimes even chicken fried steak... When he's feeling extra froggy

greatest post of all time

Ohio State's coaches did last year https://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2016/12/19/14018842/ohio-state-coaches-go-against-players-fiesta-bowl-practice-ryan-stamper and I thought I saw where they did it again this year too in the spring

Looks like there was a lot of coaching accomplished.

Maybe like Bear Bryant's observation tower?

I'll bet coaches and players alike felt his gaze.

I'm not sure the coaches even paid attention in practice much less participated.  Lol
