Recognizing Our 8 Lifetime Members, GameDay Diaries Week 4 & Tomorrow's Trench Mob Clinic
Also: Vault Security Update for Paid Subscribers
Coach,
We’ve got a lot to unpack for a Friday in June.
Before anything else, I want to recognize the eight coaches who believed in GameDay Systems early enough to become Founding (Lifetime) Members.
These coaches took a chance on what I was building and helped get this thing off the ground.
Coach Hayse
Coach Jensen
Coach Davis
Coach Vigdal
Proving Grounds SSP
Coach Lozano
Coach Matlock
Coach Malo
Thank you. I sincerely appreciate your support and your belief in what we’re building. You have my personal phone number if you ever need anything. It’s my way of saying thank you for believing in GameDay Systems from the very beginning.
GameDay Diaries – Week 4
We wrapped up Week 4 this week.
Monday we were back outside working football fundamentals:
Base blocks
Combination blocks
Communication
The practice video and journal have been added to the Vault.
The weather had other plans the rest of the week, so we moved into the OL room. We spent Tuesday through Thursday talking schemes, identifying plays, and discussing why certain concepts fit together. I also created several new Google Slides presentations and added those to the Vault.
Week 4 is now complete.
We’ll be off next week for the July 4 holiday, although I may get some voluntary work in with any linemen who want to come.
Trench Mob Summer Clinic
Tomorrow I’ll be speaking at the 2026 Trench Mob Summer Clinic.
There will be 20 speakers throughout the day — 19 college offensive line coaches…and one dumb old high school coach.
If you’re looking to learn football, grab a notebook, settle into the recliner, and spend the day with us.
And just tell your wife you’re “at clinic” tomorrow so you don’t have any honey-do’s.
Drive Security Update
Over the next week or so, I’ll be upgrading the security of the Vault.
You may receive an invitation from Google Groups. If you do, simply accept the invitation. That should be all you’ll ever need to do.
Once you’ve accepted, you’ll continue to have access to the Vault just like before — this is simply to better protect the resources and ensure only active paid members have access.
Thanks for your patience as I make this upgrade.
One last note…
The Founding (Lifetime) Membership will soon increase from $250 to $350, and eventually I’ll close it altogether.
If you’ve been considering becoming a Founding Member, now is the best time.
Thank you again for being part of GameDay Systems.
Coach Chad Johnson
