Jim Sweeney
Former Head Football Coach
Fresno State University
"All of us look for the winning edge in football. In industry,
when executive management wants to find new methods of techniques,
they find the best consultant available.
A long time ago, [at Washington State University] I
brought Tom Bass to our campus to observe and critique the entire
program. He did it all. He rated players. He critiqued coaches and
methodology. After his visit, which lasted one week, we had the best
season I ever enjoyed at W.S.U. - [7-4].
I suggested to Tom, after his retirement, that he make a business
out of the enormous knowledge he has about football. Tom is doing
that and helping coaches, young and old, in all areas of the game.
He has lectured to our staff on Offense and Defense and we are
much better coaches because of his vast knowledge.
Genius is made more often than born. Tom has spent his life in
organizing football. He is the best I have ever known."
Frank Beamer
Head Football Coach
Virginia Tech University
"Our entire defensive staff benefited greatly from their day with
Tom Bass. The flexible format allowed us to custom fit a clinic for
Virginia Tech defensive football needs. The ability to have this
exchange without leaving our campus was a real plus."
Fisher DeBerry
Head Football Coach
United States Air Force Academy
"Tom Bass spent an entire day with our defensive staff. It was one
of the most productive things we have ever done in our football
program here at the Academy. Tom had many unique ideas and insights
that we have incorporated into our defensive schemes. I highly
endorse his program and I know he will be of the same benefit to your
staff."
Spike Dykes
Head Football Coach
Texas Tech University
"We really enjoyed Toms presentation, and what a tremendous
well organized presentation he had. Needless to say, the review of
general football was worth a million dollars, but also the
specialized areas that we covered in depth will definitely help us
WIN. Our entire staff grew together with this experience.
We really appreciated Tom, his manner of presentation and his
expertise in so many areas that were enlightening to us. Hopefully
this can become an annual affair because this might be the best three
days our group has spent."
LaVell Edwards
Head Football Coach
Brigham Young University
"Tom Bass, with his vast knowledge and personal experience,
provided a very informative and helpful seminar. His presentation was
well organized, well presented, and loaded with valuable information.
Our coaches are working on implementing it right now."
Norm Gerber
Defensive Coordinator
Syracuse University
"Tom Bass has a truly outstanding clinic presentation to offer
every coach and staff. His tremendous knowledge of football is a
great resource for every program. The content of knowledge he
presents is highly organized and detailed. Tom has a great
personality and his clinic presentations are made with great
enthusiasm. No one should ever hesitate to have a Tom Bass clinic.
You will want him back again."
Sonny Lubick
Head Football Coach
Colorado State University
"Without a doubt, Toms clinics have been the most pertinent
and informative of any clinic I have ever attended. I had the extreme
good fortune of being able to have Toms presentation for three
consecutive years. His understanding of our particular problems, as
well as his knowledgeable presentation make his clinic a must."
Wayne Nunnely
Defensive Line Coach
San Diego Chargers
"On behalf of the staff at UNLV, I want to thank Tom for a job
superbly done. We have all benefited from his excellent
presentation.
Without question, it was the most informative football clinic I
have ever been associated with. Tom is well organized and the
information he presented to our offense and defense has already been
added to our program.
I would recommend Tom Bass to any football Staff who desires to
improve their program in every facet of the game."
Ken Riley
Former Head Football Coach
Florida A. M. University
"It is indeed a pleasure to say to all coaches who are interested
in your clinics, that it is an excellent way to receive first hand
knowledge about the organizational, practical, and very knowledgeable
look at football.
Tom coached me as a rookie defensive back with the Cincinnati
Bengals and was very instrumental in my development as a defensive
back.
Our entire staff was very much impressed with the expertise given
by Tom in every aspect of the games development."
Jackie Sherrill
Head Football Coach
Mississippi State University
"We were very fortunate to have Tom Bass give our staff a clinic
on his philosophies of coaching which he has acquired over the
years.
He was very beneficial in the Xs and Os and also in
helping coaches understand the overall picture in dealing with
preparation, practice, game solutions and evaluations.
I would highly recommend and endorse Tom Bass to any coaching
staff."
Bruce Snyder
Head Football Coach
Arizona State University
"I know that the entire staff enjoyed hearing what Tom had to say
and we are certain to benefit in the future from his knowledge and
expertise.
Specifically, I would like to state that I found Toms clinic
to be extremely well organized and a wealth of information. Many of
his ideas and suggestions were immediately put into practice with
positive
