High school sports participation is at an all-time high. Local sports journalism staffs are shrinking. A look at the changing business of high school sports media — and what gets lost when local coverage disappears.

October 5, 1987 Bill Walsh Employs the Wishbone In the second half of the first MNF game to feature "replacement players" during the 1987 players' strike, the 49ers legendary head coach utilizes the "wishbone" offense against the Giants and head coach Bill Parcells. Walsh — the architect of the "West Coast Offense", which primarily prioritizes the passing game — decided to use the wishbone [running] offense in order to play to the strengths of his replacement quarterback for the Niners, Mark Stevens. ''The wishbone was something we thought of in preparing for the game,'' said Walsh. ''The first play we ran it, Bill Parcells and I looked at each other and had a quiet moment together. I thought it was entertaining to look at, but just momentarily.'' ABC's Al Michaels, Frank Gifford, and Dan Dierdorf take delight in the moment.

I can’t remember the last time I saw an NFL head coach orchestrate a team meeting DURING the game. Usually it’s a position coach… But Sean McVay did it here, and the #Rams flipped the script to come back and beat the Eagles on the road.

‘DIGGER’ has opened with $8M domestically on a projected budget of $160M-$180M. Biggest Hollywood box office bomb of 2026 & one of the biggest bombs of all time.

The nation’s top programs are shelling out astronomic NIL paydays to top prospects. Some of the deals have backfired spectacularly. on.wsj.com/4dlTmQl

Prime example of what will make Northwestern succeed Chip Kelly is running plays that ZERO coaches have current tape on so they don’t know how or when to defend against it I’d argue most coaches, even at high levels, don’t truly know football. They know how to scheme against the current game. There are not many sickos like Chip who understand nuance and why things work. So if you go outside the box, you can succeed until everyone catches up at least

Red Flag #4, lack of confidence When I was with Kyle Shanahan, he would stand in front of the entire offense and install every single play 1 by 1 with NO NOTES. Nothing but his red pen, the print out of the plays, and a cup of coffee he’d take sips of in between plays. He would tell us exactly why he installed it, how to read it, what looks we like it for, and a few other notes he saw on film as to why he thought THIS was going to set the team up for success each week. It was a stark difference from LaFleur who had his assistant coaches install the gameplan each week in front of the room. A different level of confidence in the game plan and even more so a different WHY behind it. It just felt different at the time and I have come to the conclusion it’s because Shanahan runs HIS scheme how HE wants, and LaFleur runs a scheme that lacks true identity imo. Reliant on copycat stuff around the league more so than others.

Big time bounce back. #GoOilers | #BeGreat
