Jeff Whitehead - Smashmouth Spread

Description

Build an offense that stays on schedule, eliminates negative plays, and consistently moves the chains. In this exclusive session from the Texas High School Coaches Association Coaching School, Hardin-Simmons Offensive Coordinator Jeff Whitehead shares the strategies that have powered the Cowboys to one of the most explosive and efficient offenses in Division III football.

With a 75–16 record over the last 10 years, Whitehead’s system is rooted in proven concepts that any coach can adapt to their own program. This course gives you a step-by-step breakdown of how to structure your offense around gap schemes, RPOs, and the shallow series while maximizing execution at every level.

What you’ll learn in this course:

  • Gap Scheme Philosophy: Why the shift to power, counter, and related runs creates a physical, downhill identity.

  • RPO Tags That Work: How to attach bubble, hitch, speed out, and slant concepts to your run game to keep defenses honest.

  • The Shallow Series: A versatile passing package that creates answers against multiple coverages.

  • Play-Calling Philosophy: How to think in terms of staying on schedule, creating first downs, and turning drives into touchdowns.

  • Implementation Tips: Practical ways to teach, rep, and adjust these concepts for your players.

Whether you’re a high school coach looking to expand your offense or a coordinator searching for fresh ideas, this course provides battle-tested strategies straight from one of the most respected offensive minds in the college game.

Book this course today and learn how to blend gap schemes, RPOs, and passing concepts into a complete, adaptable offense your players can execute with confidence.
