Welcome To Coach Bindel's Football Blog

It seems every coach on the internet has a "blog" these days, and I figured it was time for me to get in on the action. I don't know why I got a wild hair up my arse to do it, and it's pretty much a rip-off of some smart coaches, like Coach Brophy, Coach Hoover, and the guy that runs Smart Football, among others.


I am not even in the same league as those guys as far as sharing information/X's and O's insight/humor, but it's the off-season (meaning I can't stop thinking about football...and I'm bored), and many coaches have taught me things that I'd like to share with other coaches. Thus, the blog.


I've worked for some great Head Coaches in my short career thus far: Danny Edelman, Scott Ponder, and currently Jim Garfield. I am thankful to these guys for giving me the opportunity to not only put food on the table for my family, but for taking a chance on a young coach that they didn't know very well.


Coaches have had huge impact on my life and my career. There's too many to name, but three that I've met that have definitely helped shape my career are Lindy Welborn & Mike Page (two of my High School coaches whom I have the honor of coaching with now), and Dan Bowman - quite simply, the smartest/best high school football coach in Texas.


I'll attempt to pass along things those guys have taught me - and I'll include some things I've picked up along the way. As Offensive Coordinator for the Rider Raiders with Tim Radtke & Robby Wood, we thought it would be "crazy" to open the season with some misdirection......

Our first play of the season:
