After producing nearly 100 Coaches Corner shows (including the Mesh Point Edition for Option Central), it is regret that
we say farewell to its Host and Producer, John Anderson. We gave some thought to finding a new host for Coaches Corner,
but decided, in the end, that this body of work was special, unique and deserving of a place in the history of
football coaching podcasts.
We remain committed to the concept of podcasting as an
alternative form of coaching education, and encourage
inquiries from prospective Hosts and Producers who
would like to have their own show without dealing with
the complexities of the business and technical end of
operating a podcast. Our final two shows enabled us to
"finish the game", and the season in a fitting
fashion, and while we only produced two shows, our
four guests provide "4 quarters" worth of great
material. We are hoping to be back soon with
another great series of podcasts for football coaches.
In our final edition of
Coaches Corner, the topic was Recruiting. The
show features two College Head Football Coaches John
Bland of Mississippi College (Division II - Gulf Coast
Conference) and Ralph Insernia of RPI College
(Division III - Liberty League), as well as a long
time HS Football Coach - Bill Mountjoy. Coaches Bland
and Isernia discuss their philosophy and approach to recruiting football players
while Mountjoy shares
experiences from his years interacting with
recruiters while a HS Football Coach. Bland and
Mountjoy were previous guests on Coaches Corner.
Listen to Volume 85 on Athletic Recruiting.
In the previous edition of Coaches Corner, a pair of Defensive Coordinators and past
Guests on the show returned to talk about the 3-4
Defense that continues to grow in popularity. Coaches Shaun Weaver of Gettysburg College and Scott Cramer of Verona (WI) H.S.
discussed their approach to the 3-4 Defense, covering
topics such as Defensive Line play, Zone Blitz concepts, Pass Coverages philosophy, and a Circuit Drill to sharpen Blitz techniques.
Listen to Volume 84 on The 3-4 Defense and Zone Blitz concepts
Shows 84 and 85 reflect our new format that features
multiple guests speaking on a common theme, and a
single sponsor.
