The Board Drill’s Bold Takes for 2026

mercredi 26 août 2026 • Durée 11:03

We prepared for this one for about three minutes, which is roughly the correct amount of preparation for bold takes. The only rule was that picking the favorite does not count. Matt has UTRGV making a run in year two of the program and multiple first time conference champions across the FBS. Kyle takes the field against the Dakotas and Montana in the FCS, a bet that has only paid off twice since 2011, and puts first year FBS North Dakota State in the playoff as the group of five representative. The NFL section is where it gets uncomfortable, since Matt is a Dolphins fan picking Buffalo. Underneath all of it is the take we actually believe: football is back Thursday, and if you are complaining about what is on TV, you are not a football fan.

Field Glance, Boundary Read: Georgetown's RPO System

mercredi 29 juillet 2026 • Durée 01:12:54

Georgetown OC Jarrell Flores Breaks Down the Boundary and Field Glance RPO

Coach Jarrell Flores, offensive coordinator at Georgetown High School in Texas, joins the Board Drill Podcast to break down the RPO concept that has become the foundation of Georgetown's explosive pass game. Coach Flo walks through how reading the boundary safety on the glance route opened up the offense, why it pairs directly with their wide zone run game, and how they have adapted it across personnel groupings, formations, and coverage shells for the last two seasons.

Inside this episode, Coach Flo covers the origin of the read, the pre-snap and post-snap process his quarterback goes through, how the concept holds up against one-high, two-high, and three-high safety structures, and how Georgetown layers motion, bunch, and stack formations to protect it from disguised coverage. He also gets into the program's culture, coaching lineage, and what has made Georgetown one of the most consistent offenses in Texas for over 20 years.

Timestamps are estimated from the raw recording and may shift slightly once the final edit locks.

Bracketing in Cover 7 with Coach Chad Broadrick

Saison 3 · Épisode 26

mercredi 15 juillet 2026 • Durée 57:59

Most coaches treat quarters as a set of rules that react to what the offense does after the snap. Chad Broadrick treats it as a way to decide, before the ball is ever snapped, which two players he is going to take away.

In this episode, the Head Football Coach and Athletic Director at Centennial High School in Tennessee walks through his Cover 7 film and the single question that drives every call in it: how do we double the two guys we are worried about on Friday night? Everything else is built backward from that answer.

Broadrick lays out the four buckets he lives in out of Cover 7, which are cones, brackets, triangle concepts, and box concepts, and shows how each one is really just a different tool for getting a double team on the right player. The star and the money carry outside leverage, the safety plays the aggressor on any in-breaking route, and the Mac takes the back. From there it becomes a language: ink and orc to set the corners’ press, Seahawk to wall and midpoint a vertical, Connie to keep from getting picked on the rail route, stump and smash rules to the field, cut and buster to trips. For coaches who want a cleaner way to organize their quarters answers instead of memorizing a hundred unrelated checks, this is someone who has done that work.

He is also honest about where the coverage lives and dies. Cover 7 can look rough in seven-on-seven, where isolation routes get exposed and there is no rush to bother the quarterback. In a game, with a four-man rush and a plan for who you want doubled, it is a different picture. That is where Broadrick gets animated, because the real value shows up when you build pressure out of the structure. He shows how the same bracket calls turn into simulated pressures and creepers, tracing the back, VTeching the center, and getting a hit on the quarterback while still doubling the vertical routes behind it.

The conversation closes in the red area, where cut becomes a two-man concept with trap rules and the corners play as waterfall defenders protecting the goal line, then moves into Turkey and Clifford and when it actually makes sense to dial them up. Matt jumps in from the offensive side to compare it all to Palms, and makes the case that Cover 7 gives a coach more pre-snap structure and control over exactly who gets doubled, without the practice cost that Palms demands.

One Play, A Dozen Ways to Run Counter | Coach Sean Cooley

Saison 3 · Épisode 25

mercredi 8 juillet 2026 • Durée 01:01:25

Some coaches collect plays. Coach Shawn Cooley collects ways to run the same one.

In his third visit to the Board Drill, the East Ridge offensive coordinator makes the case that you do not need a thick call sheet to be multiple. You need one play your kids believe in and a hundred ways to show it. For Cooley, that play is counter, and over the course of the episode he takes GH counter from its plainest form all the way out to the edges of what a defense will let you get away with.

Along the way he gets into GT and split-flow counter, a first-level slice RPO he calls emo, counter quick borrowed off the college game, and a long-trap ISO wrinkle he is half convinced should have gotten him fired. From there it turns into a quarterback run clinic: a center-turned-quarterback lowering his shoulder between the tackles, jet and empty-formation keeps, a guard-tailback counter, and a shovel pass he simply calls Tebow. The thread running through all of it is the part most offenses skip. The offensive line barely changes a rule, and the defense never gets to tee off on your base.

If you run gap scheme, this is an hour well spent with the whiteboard open.

The King of All Blitz Patterns with Wallie Kuchinski

Saison 3 · Épisode 24

mercredi 1 juillet 2026 • Durée 01:04:15

This week on The Board Drill Podcast, Kyle sits down with Coach Wallie Kuchinski, Associate Head Coach and Defensive Coordinator at the University of St. Thomas, for an hour-long install of what Coach K calls the king of all blitz patterns.

On tape it looks like the NCAA pressure everybody runs. It is not. It is a single five-man zone pressure built on reading offensive linemen instead of assigning gaps, and that one distinction is what makes it hold up against every run scheme and every protection a coordinator can dial up. Coach K teaches it the way you wish every clinic taught it, all the way down to the footwork: the flat step, the pound-step head fake, the lean off the snap so you never tip the pressure, and the term the Tommies use instead of box or force, splatter.

From there it builds. How the front cuts the field in half and turns pulls into tackles for loss. Why a bunch of single teams gets extra hats to the ball. How the pattern beats outside zone, power, and RPOs, and the three-man loop that asks a center to do something he simply cannot do. Coach K also shows how the whole thing travels from a 3-4 into a 2-4-5 nickel, so the 4-2-5 crowd can run it too.

It is a heavy install with a ton of drill tape, and it closes with Coach K on what 19 years with the program has taught him about teaching defense, plus the story behind the Tommies’ jump from Division III to FCS Division I.

If you coach the odd front, or you have ever written NCAA pressure on a call sheet and wondered if there was a better way to read it, this one is worth the notebook.

Installing Stump Coverage with Coach Colin Lark

Saison 3 · Épisode 23

mercredi 17 juin 2026 • Durée 58:52

Stump coverage does not get talked about enough. Most cover 7 teams run Stubbie as their three by one answer and stop there, but the moment a good offensive coordinator figures out you are in Stubbie, the double in from three becomes a weekly problem. Stump is the answer, and Coach Colin Lark from Bishop Lynch High School in Dallas, Texas breaks the whole thing down.

Coach Lark walks through every position rule in the coverage: the corner in mod technique, the in call and what it triggers, the nickel reading three to two, the safety’s vertical tracking rules, and how the three by four push changes linebacker responsibilities. He then puts it under pressure against trips concepts you actually see on Friday nights, including dagger, sail, and stick, and shows spring film of the coverage working against each one.

Kyle and Matt bring their own history with the coverage into the conversation, from using Stump almost exclusively as a high red zone answer to beat the double in corner, to the linebacker communication nuances that made it difficult to run full time at the high school level. The result is a real coach to coach conversation about not just how the coverage works, but when to use it, how to teach it, and what it takes to make it stick with your kids.

Coach Lark also demos Football U, his interactive playbook tool that lets players rep coverages from their phones and gives coaches accountability on whether their guys actually know their assignments.

This one is worth a full listen.

Coaching Modern Linebackers: Drills, Reads, and Block Destruction

Saison 3 · Épisode 21

mercredi 27 mai 2026 • Durée 01:29:16

Modern linebacker play lives in the tweener space: guys who can fit the run, play in space, and rush off the edge without being a true safety or a true edge.

Why Programs Are Built On People, Not Schemes with Kurt Hines

Saison 3 · Épisode 20

mercredi 13 mai 2026 • Durée 01:01:17

Coach Kurt Hines has spent 29 years on the sideline and 32 in the classroom. He has been a head coach in New Hampshire and at Coronado in California. He has been hired and he has been fired. Through all of it, he has settled on one belief that drives everything: programs are built on people, not schemes.

In this conversation, Coach Hines walks Kyle and Matt through how he hires assistant coaches (no resume, no football talk in the first interview), why his early failures with delegation made him a better head coach, and a turbulent flight to Mississippi that changed how he leads when he is not in the building. He shares the discipline story from his first year at Coronado that tested everything he believed about being a man of his word, the viral video that put his program on national news, and what he has learned in the months since being let go after his most recent season.

This one is for coaches who care more about the long game than the next win.

How Denton Ryan Builds a Weekly Defensive Game Plan with Coach Will Cockerill

Saison 3 · Épisode 19

mercredi 29 avril 2026 • Durée 01:14:45

Will Cockerill has gone 25-5 in two seasons as the defensive coordinator at Denton Ryan High School in Texas. His defense finished number one in scoring defense in the Dallas area at just over 12 points per game and has held a 70 percent third down stop rate back to back. The Sons of Ryan are not just a good defense. They are a program built on culture, structure, and a weekly process that leaves nothing to guesswork by Friday night.

In this episode, Coach Cockerill returns to the pod and walks through the full system. How he collects grades and sends a game summary to his head coach Saturday morning. How he uses position-specific Google Docs to structure his Sunday staff meeting before anyone walks in the room. How he sequences practice Monday through Thursday, buckets film by scheme instead of play name, and builds a call sheet that already has the answers to problems before they show up in a game.

This one goes well beyond X’s and O’s. It is a blueprint for how a coordinator runs a week.
