The Football Coaching Podcast with Joe Daniel
Helping Football Coaches build your Program and Succeed
Episodes
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.
In this episode, Joe and Daniel dive into how to turn practice succ...
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.
On this episode Joe and Daniel discuss the way they get the most out of their players. They ta...
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.
On this episode Joe Daniel and Daniel Chamberlain are discussing how to better your play calls in the biggest spots in footba...
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.
On this episode Joe Daniel and Daniel Chamberlain discuss the more modern approaches to getting your players in shape for the season, how to condition ...
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.
On this episode Joe and Daniel discuss how to limit big plays against your defense by simplifying your scheme, cutting out the wanted complexity, and getting your pla...
Undisciplined teams lose games. And sloppy habits in practice show up under the lights.
In this episode, Joe and Daniel break down how to build discipline and efficiency into every rep. You’ll learn how to simulate high-stress situations in practice so your players stay sharp when it counts. They’ll show you how to tighten communication, dial in on the small details, and ...
Wasted time in practice leads to unprepared players on game day. And with limited hours on the field, every minute has to count.
In this episode, Joe and Daniel dive into how to run efficient, high-energy practices that get your players ready—fast. They share how to build out practice plan shells, keep the tempo up with smooth transitions, and make sure your drills actual...
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.
On this episode of the Football Coaching Podcast, Daniel Chamberlain and Joe Daniel share how to build a dynamic offense the right way — starting with mastery of a base play and layering in variation through motions, shifts, unbalanced formations, and t...
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.
On this episode, Joe and Daniel discuss the need to add situational football into your practice planning, ...
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.
On this episode Joe and Daniel discuss fixing tackling and executing through ASKA, fixing alignments, and ensuring players are doing their job and not their neigbors’ jobs through the umbrella principles.
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.
On this episode Joe and Daniel discuss how to simplify your Special Teams, teaching each team one way for the whole season, getting rules put in to place so your players can use them to problem...
Getting buy in is the foundation of any system in football. Not just Xs and Os systems, but strength and conditioning, recruiting, culture, etc.
On this episode Joe and Daniel discuss the SCS System, coaching like you’re teaching a new prep for the first time, and what all goes into the Players’ Creed.
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.
On this episode Joe and Daniel discuss the need to have a system to get players out to play, how we can get more players to say YES to playing, and how to get your players to be salesmen for the team.
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.
On this episode Joe and Daniel discuss what it means to be tough, how accountability can toughen up your players, and the fact that relationships still reign supreme.

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.
On this episode Joe and Daniel discuss the ASKA Principle, how to get your staff us...
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.
On this episode Joe and Daniel discuss the beating teams by eliminating errors using the Coach Simple philosophy, and how to unlock the potential of your team.
Stopping the run is imperative in the game of football. You have to take away the opponents ability to move the rock, especially between the tackles.
On this episode Joe and Daniel discuss the umbrella run fits, how you can use it with the scheme, coaches, and players you have now, and how you can stop any offensive formation or scheme.
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.
On this episode Joe and Daniel are joined by Coach Justin Kinzie to talk all things support. They talk about the groups you need ...
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.
On this episode Joe and Daniel discuss all things practice schedules. Being efficient with your time, prioritizing what the “right” things are you need to be practicing, and en...
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.
On this episode Joe and Daniel discuss the usability and benefits of a simplified passing game, why you don’t need to teach progressions, and how you can add options to your passing game to meet your players where ther...
