Increase Your Team's Football IQ - Dan Swanstrom, OC/QB Coach, Penn Mar 31, 2022

Show notes

Unique scenarios in football are inevitable. There are different football scenarios that occur during the game. When those situations happen, the team must adapt its play and react appropriately. There are two approaches to this. You can wait until they happen and teach based on that...OR you can start teaching those and make them a part of your team's collective Football IQ. On today’s episode we discuss situational awareness in all phases of the game with Dan Swanstrom. Dan Swanstrom takes over as the OC/QB Coach for Penn for the 2022 season. Prior to Penn, Dan Swanstrom was been named the 10th head coach for the prestigious football program on South Hill. Swanstrom, a native of Texas and 2005 graduate of Rhodes College, joined Ithaca after previous stints at Pennsylvania, Johns Hopkins and the University of Redlands. During his time in Ithaca, they were ranked as high as No. 8 in the coutry. Prior to his arrival at Ithaca, Swanstrom was the quarterbacks coach and recruiting coordinator at Penn, which won back-to-back Ivy League Championships. During his time at Hopkins, Swanstrom began as a quarterbacks coach and was quickly promoted to offensive coordinator and then to associate head coach. Hopkins won five Centennial Conference titles while Swanstrom was on the sidelines. Four straight players were named the conference player of the year under Swanstrom.

Avoid A Quarterback Controversy – An Objective System For Grading Your Quarterbacks Mar 17, 2022

Show notes

With the Quarterback being the most visible position on the field, a QB controversy can be the wedge that divides a team and fractures culture within a team and its larger community. By having a subjective system, this situation can be avoided and not only clearly define the starter but also serve as a tool for QB developement. This is a system which we put together in 2010 when we faced a heated battle for the starting quarterback position. Our three-year starter was graduating and we had three freshmen battling to be in the number one spot at the beginning of their sophomore year. That year I used three criteria to help me objectively distinguish the starter from the back-ups. After doing that, I realized I could develop the criteria further to not only slot each quarterback in a position, but also give the position group valuable information about where they needed to improve. This is a system that continues on into camp and through the season, and helps give both the quarterbacks and me feedback on what needs work.
