Joe Daniel Football

Helping Football Coaches build your Program and Succeed

The Football Coaching Podcast with Joe Daniel

There isn’t a perfect defensive scheme in football. Let’s say that again, there isn’t a perfect defensive scheme in football. They all work. Pro’s and Con’s… sure they exist. But, the truth is, every modern defense should be able to work successfully against any offensive scheme, you just have to remain adaptable.
 
On this episode Joe Daniel and Daniel Chamberlain talk about adapting your defense to whatever you’ll see this season, how you can shut down the spread specifically, and coaching your defense to SWARM the football!

We Can’t Keep Up with Spread Offenses

The offensive line is the HEART of your football team. It doesn’t matter what the skill level of everyone else on the field is, you win or lose behind the O-Line. If yours is getting steam rolled each and every game, you’re likely losing each and every game. 
 
On this episode, Joe and Daniel are talking how to get your O-Line to improve by simplifying your communication, simplifying your scheme, and getting your players to love their craft!

Our Offensive Line Gets Overpowered

We often hear, “Your players won’t be as passionate and committed as you are.” What we don’t hear as often is that your coaches may not be on your level either. Sometimes you’re going to get a guy, or multiple guys, that you have to win games with, but may not be on the same level of football coaching as you.
 
On this episode Joe and Daniel are discussing ways to prevent the feeling of coaching alone. They discuss the need to develop your philosophy and systems, communicating with your staff, and getting buy-in from everyone in the program.

I Feel Like I’m Coaching Alone

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 success into real game-day results. They break down how to make practice tougher than the game, why specific drills lead to better buy-in, and what to do when your scout team can’t replicate your opponent. They also share stories from their own coaching experience, discuss highlights from the Texas High School Coaches Association Clinic, and even drop a few book recommendations for coaches who want to think deeper about football—and probability.

Our Players Don’t Execute on Game Day

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 talk about setting up a depth chart, identifying the right guys for the position, and getting kids to play a position they may not want to.

We’re Not Getting the Most Out of Our Talent

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 football. They talk setting up a play call sheet, playing the game before the game, and using your play calls to attack weaknesses of the defense.

We Struggle to Call Plays Under Pressure

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 practice, keeping things from getting too tyrannical, and how to hold your player accountable so they’ll want to be in shape in the 4th.

Our Players are Out of Shape in the 4th Quarter

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 players to consistently be in a place to make a play.

We Give Up Too Many Big Plays

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 run drills that actually translate to game-day success.

We Make Too Many Mental Mistakes!

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 actually matter. You’ll also hear how to lean on veteran players, use film for faster corrections, and even streamline scouting with tools like wristbands.

We Waste Too Much Time in Practice

You don’t want too many plays in your offensive playbook. But you need enough plays to beat the defense. So how many plays do you need to have ready?
 
How many plays you need in the playbook is the 15th episode in our 20 Questions series for Season 9 of The Football Coaching Podcast. It is one of the 20 most-asked questions I have seen from our podcast listeners and JDFB Coaching Systems clients.
 
Every offensive playbook is different. And every coach is different. But this episode will give you a solid guide for how many plays to have in your offensive playbook.
