I coach Morehouse in Rockne, and I'm approaching the end of an idea I had for the game about a year ago. I load up two classes in a row and redshirt 12 players over 4 seasons into the class behind them. I used this design to win the Division III championship with Albright in Season 132. Now it's Season 144 and I have 6 players redshirted, 6 more to go, and 29 freshmen. In Season 148, I'll have 12 RS seniors, 29 seniors, and 6 juniors.
I'm looking for some veteran advice on how you'd handle this team over the next 4 seasons if it was yours. How would you allocate formation and practice time? How would you rotate players to maximize growth? Should I make sure the redshirt seniors get more playing time or is it better to spread it out over the starters and some of the back-ups? What kind of offense and defense would you run? Looking forward to hearing everyone's thoughts.
