1.) What is the name of your school and mascot?
2.) What are your school colors?
3.)Who would you hire as your assistant coaches?
4.) What is your offensive and defensive strategy?

1) The fighting weiners with a Dauschund Mascot (Marketing and Branding would be easy)
2) Brown and Red
3) Ladell Betts, Drew Tate, Pat Angerer, Matt Roth, Bob Sanders, and Brian Ferentz
4) Ultra Agressive, up tempo, never punt on offense, Defense would be 4-6 blitz heavy
5) Only players with a criminal record

Midwestern Zebras
Colors: Black and White
Mascot: Duh!

Assisant Coaches
Anybody crazy enough to like my ideas!

First of all, we’d be the Zebras so we would get some love from the officiating crews. And our uniforms would be black and white striped to confuse opponents when we are all out there running around.

I’d run a shotgun version of the old single wing formation which hasnt been seen since the 50’s. I would not recruit any wr’s, instead I would go with tall, speedy, and lanky TE’s. One of which is always lined up one on one, one yd. off of the sideline way across from our formation. We would run strong side of formation 75% of the time using raw power running, and use the other 25% on reverses and pass plays. If defense doesnt shift to protect strong side, we run to that side. If they shift to protect strong side, we run a reverse to the weak side. Mix in the occasional pass to the TE, that we have covered one on one, running a deep post route at all times. We also would flip the formation depending on field position and strength/ weakness of opponent. Throw in a few trick plays and there you have it! Teams and coordinators would have to do special preparation just for us.

Defense we would always put all 11 guys in the box! We would blitz 100% of the time. We still drop guys off to cover receivers, but you never know which ones are covering and which ones are going to blitz! Quarterbacks worst nightmare!

If they win the toss and chose to receive, I’d start the game with an onside kick! If we recover, not only do we have the end of the field that we want, but also get to start each half with the ball! They wouldn’t expect it and they already have the offense mindset. We recover, they are scrambling on defense right off the bat!

I wouldnt paint my lockerrooms pink,
but I would make sure they had fresh flowers and laced doilies. Air freshener system with the heavy smell of gardenias and lilacs. Anything I can do to bring out that feminine side thats deep down in their psyche. Add in some elevator Muzak with hidden subliminal messages and they’re done before they play a snap.

My philosophy is to do the unexpected all the time, keep them on their heels physically and mentally.

1) The Midwest Technology Institute Eagles
2) Red, White, and blue
3) Bob Diaco, David Riah
4) Pro-Style Power-O play-action bootleg
5) Smart 3* game manager QBs that can make the intermediate pass from wherever I can find them, Big linemen, and juco Backs that can block and read a block and get 4 ypc, oklahoma/juco wrs, Chicago/st louis DLinemen, cbs, and tough 3* midwest lbs. Pretty sure with Riah's NFL connections and I could get that done. Bob would make a great DC, and has east-coast and Oklahoma connections.

So basically- Wisconsin style O. Blitzing D. Patriots uniforms, because to be a winner you have to look like winners. I'd like to be in the B1G, but I'd settle for the American Conference because that's likely the next Power conference added when they expand the playoffs.

At first glance, I didnt like this post. But the more I thought about, you’re right! This would be a marketable product! One change I would make are your school colors. They need to be Mustard and Ketchup. Because you ARE “The Weiners”! I can see selling hot dogs at your concessions.Second change is your mascot and hewould be a guy in a hot dog suit. And you could play at Oscar Meyer Stadium on Heinz Field! Your fight song could be... Oh I wish I was an Oscar Meyer weiner...
