I joined coaches Tom Swittel, Paul Nievinski, and Tom Yashinski on the Wisconsin Football Coaches Association Podcast to discuss the history of football. We had a wide-ranging discussion of how many aspects of the game developed, including:
Safety concerns across eras
The game’s transition from kicking to rushing to passing offenses
The movement from a player-controlled game to one run by coaches
Commercialism’s impact on the game, particularly television
The early use of film by coaches
Game pioneers from Wisconsin
