SNYDER — As a general rule of thumb, a football coach will often see the largest amount of improvement in his team during his second season.
The reason for this is simple: Not only will his team have a full year in his system under its belt, but a valuable amount of extra practice time will suddenly become available without the need to constantly explain concepts.
