From another thread:

 

The base of Eddie's offense is exactly what gives Highlands defense fits and that is the dive. From there' date=' lots of motions into pitches, lots of play action, a little option, and a ton of ball fakes. It really is fun to watch. In 2012, he had more of a pocket passer and NewCath utilized more shotgun and spread principles. Eddie adjusts well to what his talent is. I see him utilizing a more direct approach against the Birds bc it is tough to outflank that speed without a threat in the middle.[/quote']

Eddie has a resume of offensive coaching. I'm VERY interested to see who he brings on as DC.

Any word who he has hired to coach on his staff?

I've not heard anything yet on the matter. With the winter conditioning being taken care of for the time being by ASAP, he has the opportunity to take a little bit of time on this and have discussions with more or less all of the people he wants. I figure it could be as much as a couple of months before we have the majority of his coaching staff being announced.

They have spring practice two weeks after basketball is over! So it would have to happen soon before that!

Good point...totally forgot about that.

Why two weeks after basketball? I think they can schedule it anytime between the first Monday after basketball and the end of the school year, ten practices within a three week period. I also think schools now do it the last three weeks of the school year.

Just looked at the KHSAA website, CovCath submitted their practice schedule and it starts 4-27.

Spring Practice Window:

 

h) Each football school may conduct ten (10) spring practice periods of not more than two (2) hours in length and not more than one practice per day over ten (10) days during three consecutive calendar weeks, which shall be chosen by the school on or before December 15. Failure to submit the schedule by this date will result in a loss of the ability to conduct spring football practice. The three consecutive calendar weeks shall not begin prior to the Monday following the school’s elimination from postseason play in basketball, and shall not conclude later than the last day of school on the original school calendar. Any period of time when school is not in session on a week day, including testing and breaks, shall not count as one of the ten (10) permitted days, and practice shall not be conducted on those days. All equipment authorized by the football playing rules may be used during this period. There shall be no interscholastic competition during this period, and all participants shall be eligible according to all KHSAA eligibility rules. Once dates are established by the school, the dates may not be changed except by request of the member school Principal, and only if the newly requested period begins not later than the Monday following the conclusions of the originally scheduled school spring break. In order to conduct these spring practice sessions:

(1) A student below grade nine or in grade 12 shall not participate;

(2) Only students currently eligible by all KHSAA rules including Bylaws 2 through 12 may participate;

(3) Intrasquad games may be held but shall be counted as one of the ten practice sessions; and

(4) Any student who has neither participated in organized competition in a KHSAA sanctioned winter or spring sport, nor has documentation of supervision by a coach qualified under Bylaw 25 in a minimum of 8 conditioning workouts after the previous season and before the start of spring practice (including competition on a competitive weight lifting team at the school), shall have three (3) days of practice in helmets and shoulder pads for acclimation prior to wearing the remainder of the allowable football gear;

(5) There shall be no mandatory participation (including schoolor coach imposed penalty) by any person on a spring sports eligibility list (or entering any spring sport scrimmage or contest) or any other student desiring not to participate.

It would seem to me that having to schedule it in December not knowing how weather will impact the spring would be difficult.

That is why almost everyone has them scheduled for the end of April.

Who will he bring on as his assistant?

What type of offense will he run?

What type of defense will he run?

 

I think Eddie will be a good coach for CovCath. I do not believe he will be able to implement a quick-attack offense at CovCath because they do not have the same type of athletes who had to work with at G'Town. I hope the CovCath fans give him a chance to settle in because Highlands is much better than the Colonels next season.

 

It will not be fair to Eddie to expect him to beat Highlands in 2015. The Birds lose some good players, but the lower levels and a couple of transfers - TBA! - will make Highlands looking for a state title again!

Did Eddie run the same quick attack O at NC?
