Matt Majkrzak | Scripted Offense

Host Jacob Durdan sits down with newly hired Northern Illinois head coach Matt Majkrzak to unpack how he’s approaching a major rebuild in DeKalb. Majkrzak shares why he leans into scripted structure on offense, how he evaluates players for fit and winning DNA, and what it takes to build a culture fast when you inherit a program that has struggled for years.

In this episode, the conversation focuses on practical coaching ideas, from recruiting familiar players and staff to designing practices that create better decision-making through live play. It’s especially useful for coaches who want a clearer way to connect structure, player development, and team identity.
