This week of The Coaches Collective, Episode 4, we caught up with Coach Randy Bates, Defensive Coordinator, University of Pittsburgh.2019 Spring camp was set to begin, and again, Randy Bates didn’t have time for a yearly physical. This policy was put in place by Coach Pat Narduzzi, to include his entire staff. He was a little more worried about practice prep for the following day. Bates now credits Narduzzi with saving his life. Coach gives us a glimpse of what it was like leading a defense while battling cancer during the 2019 season. His story is another prime example of how, most of the time, Football is much bigger than Football.“They’ll throw rings on my grave, but the relationships are what last forever.”At 60 years old, the 2020 AFCA Assistant Coach of the Year is still learning and fine-tuning his defensive scheme. Learning the aggressive Narduzzi defense, is what brought him to Pitt in the first place. If you’ve watched the Pitt defense this year, without question, they play aggressive. His key to getting his guys to play that way? Simple. Don’t track missed tackles.Get your pen and paper ready for another episode of The Coaches Collective.

“Why do you have a system to teach Offense, Defense, and Special Teams, but nothing for your Teams Culture?” Why do Coaches preach Culture & Standards daily, but fail to actually practice them? This week on The Coaches Collective, we talk with the Coaches' Coach, Brian Kight. BK is the founder of The Daily Discipline Newsletter & Podcast. He has worked with countless number of College & Professional teams and coaches, giving them tools to developing their own unique systematic approach to Culture. Arguably, the most underrated, and over-used term in all of sports is Culture. This week, there is no beating around the bush. We dive right in it: Why do coaches fail?Doesn't Matter, Get Better. This episode goes far beyond X’s & O’s. It’s a real look at where coaches, leaders and teams fail. What sets top teams and coaches apart? They follow a simple systematic approach to building their standards.  Get your pen and paper ready for another episode of The Coaches Collective. 

Bleach Blonde Mullets, WWF stunts, and 5'9'' Offensive Lineman, The Coastal Carolina Chanticleers took college football by storm in 2020.2 top 25 wins, which happened to be the first 2 in program history.The Chants were ranked as high as No. 12 in the CFP Rankings, which is also a Sun Belt record.After a few minutes of listening to Coach Chadwell, it's easy to see, this "overnight" success didn't simply happen overnight. It was all part of a plan: You build a culture on values and it's not easy. "And sometimes...you suffer for what you love."From North Greenville, Delta State, Charleston Southern and now Coastal Carolina, Chadwell has found a recipe to win with less. Coaches across the country have become enamored with how he’s married a number of offensive schemes together, and created a system to fit his team, but the recent success is the result of much more than just a high-powered Offense. "You can coach fear into your guys, or you can coach love into them. Teams who win, aren't afraid to fail. Failure is a part of growth. " If you happened to tune into a Coastal Carolina game this year, it was evident, these guys weren't afraid to fail.We talk about the culture they've developed, offensive scheme, and the big debate...Moe's or Chipotle?Get your pen and paper ready for another episode of The Coaches Collective.
