Kyle Segler has been a member of football staffs that have guided Sam Houston to a 51-20 record, three conference titles and four consecutive NCAA playoff appearances since 2010. Only two other FCS squads (North Dakota State and New Hampshire) have equaled SHSU’s feat of four consecutive playoff berths. A former Bearkat student-athlete, Segler joined…
Its the biggest game of the year. No matter what you do, or who you root for you are watching this game. In any game of football, rarely does the result come down to just one play, but in this case, and at this level of excellence, it came as close to that as possible…
Coach Mike Collins did a fantastic job of explaining the philosophy behind his 4-2-5 defense at Sam Houston St. The ability to have immediate access to great football minds like Coach Collins and all the coaches who have hosted and participate in the chat each week is one of the great things each week. We are growing and learning from each other in order to improve ourselves.
Originally posted on June 3rd, 2015 on texasredzonereport.com Methods of communication for high school football coaches have changed over the years. While tried and true methods still have their place on the sidelines, technology has changed those methods over the years. Social media has long been thought of as a kid’s game, something you are…
We all go into each game with a plan. How are we attacking the defense, or how are we stopping their best play. We work long hard hours all week long to prepare ourselves and our team for what each opponent brings to the game. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. The key is having a plan and procedure for the good and the bad. There needs to be organization on the sideline and at halftime to handle every situation in order to be successful.
Joining the Bearkat staff in May 2013, Mike Collins begins his third season as defensive coordinator for the Sam Houston football program. In his first two seasons, the Kat defense has played an important role as the program has as Sam Houston has rolled to 22 victories, a Southland Conference championship and two FCS playoff…
7 on 7 is a very popular summer program for many of our football teams to participate in. Some people argue its value because of the lack of linemen and a running game, for example. I believe that anytime you bring kids together to work on your plays, and get better at doing their job that it is something valuable to the team. When you introduce the competition of another team, a district league, or a state-wide tournament you have increased its value. I believe 7on7 works and has become a valuable phase of the season for our skill kids to develop that working relationship with each other continue to compete year round. Skills+Competition+Success = Good….its easy math to me.
Alex Kirby got his start in coaching at Ben Davis High School in Indianapolis, IN, working as an offensive assistant. After several years of working in the high school ranks, he joined the staff at Indiana State University, first as an offensive intern, then as the video coordinator for the next two seasons, spending two…
Alex Kirby has come up with an outstanding football manual. He has taken the first ever College Football Playoff National Championship Game between Oregon and Ohio State and broken down every play of the game. It is one of the most original ideas for a football manual I have ever come across. As you see…
The coaches we work with are an important part of what we do. We spend time with and interact with them almost (and sometimes more than) our own families. It is important that we surround ourselves with people who have a positive impact on the athletes we teach and ourselves. Coach Aubry led us in an excellent discussion about how we lay the foundation for our programs with the people who work for the program. It starts at the top with the Head Coach, who we hope is leading us all to be better men and better coaches. He is our guiding light and it is our job to spread his light for all of our athletes, and those impacted by our program can see.
