Joe you is one great guy… Lol… This is my 2nd year coaching at Fremont high and the OAL.. Coaching in the OAL is realy more then football..,these kids realy do go through more then we think.. Right now at Fremont we focus on getting the kids to finish school and trying to provide them with more life skills they need for life.. Bring your sorry butt to Fremont and come talk to me face to face and see what we r about at Fremont.. We practice from 4:45 to 6pm.. Come get at us…. I am the DC.. Ask about me..

Well put @brandonbeard…Everywhere has its share of problems…But in Oakland the problems are bigger and deeper..You have young men dealing with much more then reg 14-18 year old problems…

“Limited knowledge of fundamentals” Wow…I know for myself thats what I coach 24/7 and know what I am doing…scheme wise there is more then one way to skin a cat…So if its winning games…Whats the problem??? But oh well I am just a horrible OAL coach too…

Who is this Joe Guy? what are u talking about? U want to see 20 different formations from every team in the OAL or something High school fdootball hould be simple but effective, there is no need to try to sound smarter than u really are! And that is whatu are doing! How about give coaches there just do for putting in time with kids everyday for multiple hrs when they have their own families! How about how coaches help teach kids to be responsible and dedicated to what they do. How about coaches allow kids to have an outlet and stay out of trouble! Doing something constructive. U are missing the point Coaching is bigger than just playing a minimun of 10 games a yr, it’s about teaching life skills, and helping these youngster beocme men!! Lets stop down talking coaches and learn to appreciate the effort these local oakland Coaches give day in and out!

people think the OAL has all the problems,

the concord, bay point, pittsburg, antioch communities all have similar problems, little funding and support but still produce good football teams.

Im simply saying from every OAL coach i have seen, they have a very limited knowledge of fundamentals, and scheme. They all seem like great guys, but not the smartest when it comes to scheme.

Ive watched several Tech, O high, castlemont, and, fremont HS games over the last 2-3 seasons and ive seen teams loaded with talent. The teach team last year looked like a D-1 team, talent wise they were better than most JCs. but all these teams struggled and underperformed to their talent level and it seems to be the coaching.

running unsound defenses, not properly understanding adjustments on offense. all in all, just not understanding offensive and defensive structure and play calling
