Create the Best Experience for Staff and Players - Matt Drinkall, Co-Offensive Coordinator, Army

Today’s episode from our archives is with Matt Drinkall, currently Co-offensive Coordinator at Army and former head coach at Kansas Wesleyan University.  Coach Drinkall was hired as the Head Coach at Kansas Wesleyan in 2014 to rebuild all aspects of the program. When he was hired, he was the second-youngest head coach in college football at the time. In just his second season, the Coyotes went 10-1. Over the last four seasons of his tenure, Kansas Wesleyan won 40 games which was the best four-year run in school history. Coach Drinkall left the program as the 2018 Coach of The Year while holding the fourth-highest win total for the University.  In his final season as Head Coach, the 2018 Coyotes posted the best season in school and conference history. Kansas Wesleyan won its first Conference Championship since 2002, after posting a 10-0 overall record to advance to the semifinals of the national playoffs finishing the season at a 13-1 record, while shattering school, conference, and NAIA records in the process. In this episode, he shares how he built the culture at Kansas Wesleyan beginning with a focus on the experience for his staff. He took a unique ”less is more” approach, paying attention to the time the spent in the office and the efficiency with which all things in the program operated. From the way they set up their schemes, to game planning, to recruiting, Coach Drinkall and his staff were able to find the efficiency within their workflow and spend less time in the office while having a high-performance level on the field. Coach shares his thought process in developing this system. There are definitely takeaways and ideas to reflect on as we all continue to move forward in the ever-changing landscape of coaching our game.  Show Notes: The culture Coach built at Kansas Wesleyan for Coaches How Coach’s staff was so efficient In season schedule How they divided their game plan film More on Culture Starbucks How Coach begins and develops his thought process Winning Edge Connect with Coach: Twitter: @Drinkallcoach Be sure to go to coachandcoordinator.com for enhanced show notes with links to related episodes, and resources like Drinkall’s presentations on his Power Spread offense which I highly recommend.
