To someone with knowledge of the infrastructure of our program, during practice, how many coaches/instructors can be working with the kids? If there are tricky headphone/megaphone gimmicks from a crows nest, please break that down too. The internet says anything from 10-11 coaches, 4 grad assistants, and 5 strength coaches. Anything else?
Some perspective to the question. We have discussed the 150 roster size, the lack of development, and 90 of those 150 sitting around most of the practice. It seems like we have enough fields/ practice space. We are addressing meeting space. Do we have enough coaches to take advantage of 150 players?
I've done quite a bit of coaching, and for the sake of guys needing a break between reps, and needing to buddy guys up to go against each other, I personally think if the player to coach ratio is 10/1 or less, it's got potential to be constructive.
Lastly, my opinion, I don't have a problem with the roster size. I think Sam Slege taking on Carrol Jackson, freshman 4th stringers, is still going to be a caliber of player they aren't used to seeing, and I think being coached by a S&C staffer who probably played in college is still going to help develop that kid and prepare him to climb the DC. Hopefully in year 1 vs year 5.
Thanks
