Make sure to pre-punch them so they can be immediately inserted into Jim's three ring binder.

Everyone knows where he lives. Make sure you put something nice in the envelope for Sarah though, since I'm assuming she's the one opening the mail. Maybe write the plays on the back of a $500 gift certificate to Bellanina Spa?

Be careful that your secret playbook doesn't fall into the wrong hands.

Step 2: Climb a tree next to his house.
Step 3: Stay there until he comes outside and asks what the hell is wrong with you.
Step 4: Throw your playbook at him.
Step 5. Wait for police.

These comments got me thinking....
Imagine if a coach's football playbook was subject to copyright law similar to a songwriter's catalog. Much of a coach's worth comes from their playbook and the creativity that goes into building its plays. This is similar to a songwriter/musician, where their livelihood also depends on their musical/lyrical creativity, and their right to be compensated is protected by law.
Imagine paying royalties to run a jet sweep. How about having to force a route runner to stutterstep in order to "change" the play enough so it avoids a copyright lawsuit? The "all the football plays have already been thought up" argument is common in musical litigation and I believe there are a maximum number of notes that a song can match the original.
If the “author” of the play were required to be acknowledged in some way, it would be interesting to see where successful coaches draw their playbook from, and how much they actually create themselves.

They'll pass the word when Harbaugh makes his home visit.

Gus was a successful and innovative high school coach in Arkansas. He got elevated to OC at Arkansas under Houston Nutt (those were the Darren McFadden wildcat days) when they recruited Mitch Mustain, but wound up leaving after a season and coordinated a terrific offense at Tulsa. Then Auburn called him up and he rode Cam Newton to a national title.

Make sure to pick up NCAA Football 2007 for PS2 and run proof of concept on that first.

Do you even coach, bro?
