On The Coaching 101 Podcast, hosts Daniel Chamberlain and Kenny Simpson talk fall football weather, share an FDR quote—“When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on”—and encourage coaches to keep competing even in losing seasons because players remember the experience more than records. Simpson previews Field House film study and recaps a big win swung by special teams (onside recoveries, scramble punt, kickoff return TD, and a late field goal). The episode focuses on “hidden yardage” in special teams—penalties and field position—and why it decides evenly matched games, including how starting field position affects scoring chances. Simpson explains how to win hidden yards by prioritizing special teams personnel, scouting opponents, practicing a daily specialty period, and tailoring punt, kickoff, return, and kick plans to weekly situations. They also promote A Sports video boards and share contact info.
