Introduction:


With Clemson narrowly defeating Alabama in the NCAA National Championship, the 2016 college football season is officially over. I am sure your season had some highs and lows, along with some good and some bad, but with your season complete…now what? 


Like most college football programs, our focus here at Western Connecticut is on recruiting our next class, but I will also set time aside to work on our self scout. While recruiting, every program begins to explore ideas for their next year, but most of these thoughts, both X’s and O’s and philosophy are created before fully analyzing the just completed season. We have a process here at WCSU that will allow the coach/coordinator not only a better snapshot of their season but will also help a coach better understand how a football game flows. We do not want to have any innovation before fully analyzing our season.
