This offense has been developed and refined over the last five years and featured within this course is the current idiration of the trials and tribulations that have lead to an offense that has produced a season in which we were able to score over 50 Points Per Game at the Frosh-Soph level.

What is the offense?

This offense has its roots in the classic football of long ago, Single Wing, Double Wing,  and Tackle Over unbalanced and super unbalanced sets, while also featuring a change up Spread set that will force the defense to defend 32 Personnel on one play and 00 Personnel on the next. I will tell you this now (as well as in the course) that nothing contained within this course is cutting edge or revolutionary, what is included in this course however is thought process, communication, and simple blocking rules that have allowed us to be successful.

Why you want this offense?

If you are a football coach looking for a change up, or simply looking to start from scratch, this offense is simple and effective at a variety of levels of football from the High School level on down to mighty mite youth ball.

After last season (2019) and some of the failures we had i took it as a challenge to create a playbook that featured elements of some of the most succesful and prolific offenses in College and High School Football. This offense is my attempt to merge the Power Spread offenses of Gus Malzahn/Chad Morris/Rhett Lashlee with the Prolific Passing Attack of the Air Raid Offense seen utilized by Mike Leach/Lincoln Riley/Graham Harrell, as well as some gems from High school coaches such as Kevin Kelley (who has great courses here on CoachTube and i implore you to go look at) while also calling upon some lasting and succesful plays from the previous offense i ran at my old school. The goal of this playbook was to create flexibility to allow us to adapt to whatever our personnel might be at the beginning of the season, as well as things we can fall back on in the case that we get the injury bug once again. Hopefully you find some elements in here that you enjoy and can adapt to your own school and kids.

One of my favorite Offensive Coordinators in college football is Joe Moorehead and while he may have been at Mississippi State during the 2019 season his offense lived on in Happy Valley under Offensive Coordinator Ricky Rahne. During the 2019 season Penn State would amass an 11-2 Record and a Cotton Bowl victory while averaging 35.8 Points Per Game and finishing in the Top 10 of the AP Poll.

In this course i broke down as much Penn State film as i could get my hands on to see what were the core concepts in their Passing Attack. 

Featured in this course are Shallow Cross, 2X2 Mesh, 3X1 Mesh, Y-Cross Variations, WR/RB Option Routes, PA Verticals, and a few others.

The 6-1 Defense has its roots in the 4-3, but it has evolved as a way to combat modern spread offenses, yes you read that correctly this defense is designed to Stop the Spread, and yes there are 7 Defenders in the box. 

By maintaining Gap Integrity and bringing a constant pressure opposing offenses are left with very few options to move the ball.

This Defense is designed to be very simple to learn and master so that the kids playing can play fast and confident. Blown assignments are now an extreme rarity. 

This Defense also complements a certain level of creativity, as long as the core foundation of the Defense is maintained creativity by each individual coach can be tailor-made for each team and their own personnel.

This Defense was developed and tweaked during my time as an Offensive Coordinator in which our own defense ran something very similar in nature and was by far the most difficult defense i had to face.

A PowerPoint on the offense that allowed us to move from an average team into a competitor, and eventual league title winner. We were able to move from averaging less than 14 Points Per Game, to over 40 the Following season, and over 50 Points this past season. 

Basing out of 32 Personnel this offense is unconventional in today's modern game. Being able to move from balanced, to unbalanced, to very unbalanced (6 Man Surface) and then back again causes alot of strain on not only the defensive coaches but the Players as well. 

Additionally, our Empty package is covered which still maintains our 32 Personnel roots, but allows us to be very multiple and give the Defense another set to gameplan for.

***Note*** 

I was able to recover some film to go along with the playbook, it does not contain commentary but it illustrates the concepts for those who would like to see them in action

A collection of drills that can be incorporated in to a wide variety of modern offenses.
