What is Deep Dish Football and Who is the Panel?
Deep Dish Football at one time was not named Deep Dish Football but just a old group of coaches in the 50's that would hang out at Southside Neighborhood Bar Saturday night and talk about there week in coaching. Soon these coaches got old and retired and passed on the tradition to other coaches (i.e. Sons and other younger coaches). In 2014 disgusted with what was going in Illinois High School football with greed, too many middle men, parents, coaches not fit to coach. (FORUMS, Message Boards trashing kids and talking about injuries) People just making a profit to gain on kids dreams to be playing college football. In many instances college coaches have reached out saying that they dont even know these so-called recruiting journalists. They decided to have some fun and meet up to mock some of the so-called media "experts" (WHO NEVER COACHED IN THEIR LIFE OR SCOUTED) in high school football and their players to watch. Not to mention the fact that most of do not care about the sport of football and just see easy dollar signs. Also one of the main things too, was people saying they represented the whole state of Illinois but never been south of Joliet in their life. Our Panel is from a varied backgrounds, race, economic backgrounds that make us so special. So a couple times of the year they meet up at a house and vote and rank according the three top college schemes used in college football. Have a couple drinks and dig into some pizza etc and talk football. Publish the Rankings via a Publisher, 5 Publishers have been selected and all five have done a wonderful job except for some hiccups.
The Panel will always remain Anonymous and will only meet 2 Times a Year not including football clinics.
The Panel does not talk to the Publisher from June till December- Quiet Period
In Winter of 2016 Coach Big Pete was selected as Publisher 6 of Deep Dish Football and was the first publisher given full reign to go PUBLIC.
Since 2019 Spring- Deep Dish Football Has Done Free Recruiting Seminars. On December 2019- Coach Big Pete will be doing FREE Recruiting Counseling Sessions with football recruits and families for more info please email

"I never claimed to be a journalist, it would be disrespectful to call myself a journalist.. Just like a journalist calling himself a football expert who never played, scouted, or coached.
Im a blogger- WITH HORRIBLE GRAMMER" - Coach Big Pete
The Panel- 4 (as of August 16') Coaches and Scouts (College Coaches) from High School to College in and around the state of Illinois. (PUBLISHER 6) Coach Big Pete talks to coaches of many college divisions so he can get a better feeling of where college scouting is headed what is looked for. We rank players according to the rating system of the 100 Point Plan (LOU SABAN SYSTEM) and put to a vote to rank players of each senior class 2 times a year. ( We adjust the system when schemes are seen as popular or least popular) We have a member in each region of the state of Illinois and have reporters that help us too. We have network of coaches even though not on the panel that communicate with Coach Big Pete. Coach Big Pete also goes through character reports, and actual questions with that recruit wants to actual play football in college. The Panel is not allowed to talk to the Publisher from June till the end of November. Coaches have a chance to apply to become panel as we have a open application process.
