For today’s Coach and Coordinator podcast, we dive back into the archives, learning from multiple coaches on how to keep your practices fresh early in the season. We pulled clips from interviews with former NFL coach and general manager Michael Lombardi, director of coaching development at Championship Analytics Inc. Robert Ash, former tight ends coach for the AAF Memphis Express and Bridgewater College defensive coordinator Rob Everett, defensive coordinator at the College of Brockport (N.Y.) Mike Fox, Missouri S&T head coach Todd Drury, and Arizona offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Noel Mazzone. These coaches, along with our very own Keith Grabowski, will provide a multitude of ideas to implement into your practices.
