Pull the Center & Tackle instead of the Guards.

Shift Your Tackle over so you have both big boys on the same side.

Run the Wing on Rocket Motion to the right, then run Buck to the Left...but pull the Tackle & Center!!!

CREATOR OF THE FLY OFFENSE

In the 1980's then high school Coach Mark Speckman took a play, the FLY SWEEP, and created an entire offense based on that play.

His Central California teams had back-to-back 14-0 seasons and were the #1 team in California.

• 113 wins as high school coach, back-to-back 14-0 seasons, 2 CIF titles and #5 USA Today national ranking. 

Speckman took the FLY OFFENSE to the collegiate level at Williamette College and now at FCS UC Davis.

• UC Davis records for most wins in a season
• 82 wins at Williamette, 
  • 2 championships, 3 postseason appearances, & national runerups in 1997.

"The mantra is `figure it out.' There are a million ways to do something and all of us have to figure it out. When I was a player, I had to figure out how to throw a ball, catch a ball and how to tackle. Nobody every told me. I was a defensive player who started coaching offense. So I had to figure it out.

A transplanted American living in Canada, Coach Tom has been coaching and teaching for 27 years.

....he has coached Wing systems in three countries and in numerous age groups and leagues.

• he has learned to punt on 3rd down, deal with opposing coaches being on the same sideline, and even kick the ball though the endzone for a point.

His dad played for Tubby Raymond and his dog is named Tubby.....

What offense do you run when most of your players have very little football experience?

Practice time is limited?

You base everything off the JET SWEEP....a very easy play to install

• change formations
• run counters & belly off the jet motion
• Play action pass off jet motion

Even if you have 11 players...this video will help you

A comprehensive presentation of The Gun Triple. We’ll cover the reasons behind the techniques of running this sideline to sideline option. We will cover the blocking upfront & by the skill players. The backfield play will be discussed in detail along with making the QB reads as simple as possible. The complete package.

The Triple Gun Quick is a pass concept that can be a great addition to any offense. What makes it so unique is it has a built-in boot off the initial pass. So if the Quick Pass is covered, The QB has the option of booting away. All the routes convert once the QB boots & the Quick Pass coverts to Sprint Out perimeter pass. We will cover the protection, the routes & conversions & the QB reads

Using the Empty Formations to run The Triple Gun Offense added to the explosiveness of this offense because it spreads a defense out creating huge running lanes for the ball carriers. This adds to our philosophy of “ Speed in Space & let the big guys chase” Having a complete attack in Empty sets creates lots of additional preparation for your opponents.

Everyone thinks all you have to do is read Guards to stop the Wing-T.

Well, here is a little secret.  Wing Tcoaches LOVE it when you read our Guards....and this course shows you why.

Smash Mouth Football from a state champion

Using 2 Tight Ends add extra run fits for the defense

Guard Trap from Pistol Wing T

Being in the Pistol allows your QB to read unblocked defenders.

Now you don't have to call a play, see how the defense reacts, then come back to the answer a few plays later.

The QB makes the defense PAY for wrong decision on that very play

This talk he shows how he adapted the Duo and Slice plays to fit into his existing double wing scheme.

Midline is considered one of the easiest meshes in our offense. It's the least expensive "read" play a Wing T guy can add to their arsenal.

Key Breakers to Keep Defense Honest

Play Action & Homerun Balls

Winning football games comes down to scoring. When using a ball-controlled approach offensive coaches MUST take advantages of defenses looking to pack the box and cheat their alignments to stop your ground game. 

Coach Herron explains how he uses this Delaware based Wing-T approach to do just that in this video

Coach Herron discusses his concepts for why running effective Play Action football is vital to his success in high school footbal:

Takes Advantage of Duel Responsible Players

Takes Advantage of Undisciplined Players

Takes Advantage to "Junk" defensive concepts

Takes Advantage of Teams not used to stopping the Wing-T and run-heavy sets

Coach Herron breaks down his Play Action Game by Series and in Detail:

Waggle Play Action Game

Belly Play Action Game

Counter Play Action Game

Naked Play Action Game

For each series Coach Herron will diagram the play, discuss the KEY details involved in making each play successul, and then shows gamefilm of the play (3 different camera angles).

From there, Coach Herron will outline how to add key "wrinkles" that will take advantage to whatever defensive alignment and pressure you might see on Friday Nights to ensure you will always be able to run it and find success. 

This is an awesome talk that will allow you to build your current playaction game into a letal weapon next season!

Wing T, Single Wing, Double Wing, Flexbone.....all series based offenses.   The Coordinators of these type of offenses have to understand this while calling plays

Texas Slot-T Tempo Offense

Why the Slot-T?

Now that the spread offense has taken hold as the offense of choice for most programs today, the Slot-T has become a unique offense that is difficult to counter this trend as defenses are designed to combat wide formations and passing sets and not a downhill run attack! Alan Haire's Slot-T offense is the perfect answer for coaches who lack the personnel needed to run the up-tempo spread offense, and will present numerous challenges to more modern defenses. This approach will allow you the unique ability to have your opponent scrambling to prepare every week!

Learn how to run the football versus any defense despite potential differences in talent. See how players line up in four-point stances and use angle blocking to maximize "get off" on the snap to defeat larger, more talented teams. The team-oriented schematic structure emphasizes team football as opposed to one or two players being asked to make all of the plays.

• It's an old-school style of football with an emphasis on running the football with a physical mindset.
• It's difficult to prepare for since very few teams run this style of offense.
• "Four second football" approach that will have your opponent on their heels all game. 

Formations and Terminology

The video are the basic formation, line splits, and attributes Coach Haire would like to see in each position on offense. The offense uses a strong side and a quick side. The offensive line utilizes the rare tactic of flipping the offensive line, which allows for simplicity in blocking rules as one scheme can be used for two plays. Simple formations and motions add flexibility to the offense.

• Simple formations such as "A Right"/ "A Left"
• Simple motion terms 
• Triple digit play terminology simplifies the learning
• Base offensive series and how the plays fit together

Killer Tempo

Practice Structure

Coach Haire goes into specific detail on the FOUR core components of his practice structure:

3 STATE TITLES

Are you a tradiational Wing T team.  Hard core devotion to Tubby Raymond system?

Well so is (was) Coach Phipps.

Despite having consistent winning records from under center, Coach Phipps and his 4A Wake Forest squad couldn't get to the Big Dance.

SO THEY SWITCHED TO PISTOL.

They kept the Delaware Number System.   Kept all the backfield footwork the same.

But just backed their QB up so that .....

• they could pass the ball more
• which led to running RPOs off the Belly play

This video will show you how to run the following from the Pistol

• Belly
• Tackle Trap
• Belly Sweep
• BELLY PASS......yes and a few RPO ideas.

coach Rick Stewart is also on the talk and there is some great Pistol dialogue at the end during the Q&A session.

Pat Murphy is one of the orginators of the Shotgun Wing T....

Winning 4 out of 6 state titles in the 1990's

Learn from the Best.

Why do you need Buck Sweep?

Are you letting your QB read unblocked defenders?   (btw...this totally fits the Wing T "put defenders in conflict" commandment)

• How does the backside Tackle work in tandem with the Quarterback??

 Let this STATE CHAMPION prove to you that a smaller Wing can block an End that outweighs him.  

All supported with GAME FILM

• head up on the Wing?
• Outside shade of the TE?
• head up on the Tight End?

How about the Tight End?

• Head up & head up Defensive End
• Playside Linebacker in the C-gap

Pat Murphy is one of the orginators of the Shotgun Wing T....

running it in the '90s and winning 4 out of 5 state titles.

Using comparisons, Murphy shows you traditional Under Center formations and how they correspond to the Shotgun.

Murphy has been a WingT guy all his life and was a very successful Under Center coach before transitioning to Shotgun....which led to the 4 state titles.

BONUS ALERT:  He also shows you why a WING-T state champion believes Inside Zone is a great play and why he runs it.

But he hasn't lost his decoder ring because....

• Buck, Belly, Jet
• Follows the Wing T order of football: Base Play, Counter, Play Action

FORMATIONS Covered answers the important question:  WHERE DO YOU PUT THE HALF BACK?

• TE / Wing
• TE Trips
• Empty Sets gives you options when the QB goes down
• Ghost Sets are good vs blitz and can still run Buck Sweep
• Bunch Sets outflank the opponent and can still run Buck Sweep
• Single Wing is great on the Goal Line

The 4-time state champ then goes thru how he attacks 8-man fronts

How he defeates blitzing

• which means he has to show you how to run Fire Screen
• And then shows you how he PRACTICES defeating the blitz

Jet Sweep by the coach who put Shotgun Wing T on the map in the 90's

Six State championship game appearances.

Four state championships

The Jet (or Fly) Sweep has made its way into EVERY offensive attack.  WHY?

• Gets the ball into a playmaker's hands. Another option for a great WR
• Can run it quick side or TE/Wing side.
• Good sweep play to a 2-man surface.
• Great against blitz.
• Run the JeT to the Strong side to protect against quickside blitzes
• Gets the Defense Running. Make them run sideline to sideline
• Protects your bucksweep when defenses overload the TE/Wing side or slant strong.

The 4-time state champion takes you thru the Jet Sweep from both under center and the Gun...with game film of both to show you advantages and disadvantages.

Running it from the Gun is slower and harder to time up to get the ball into the playside A gap

SO WHY RUN IT FROM THE GUN???

• Motion by faster WR types do not show tendencies because defenses expect motion from the Gun
• An easy transition because the Oline technique is the same.
• The complimentary plays are better from the gun, especially Play Action.
• Gives you an empty set run play
• Gives you a 3 x 1 set run play
• Game Plan the JeT and run it to the slowest DE. Run it to the worst Force Defender.

Defend Wing T with 7-man Front

It’s a simple concept - you need to get the ball to your best players! 

No matter what level of football you are playing the worse thing an Offensive coach can do is, take the ball out of the hands of their best players. 
Coach Kevin Creasy explains how they move their players around to get their players to different positions to make sure you get the players the touches they need but also account for situations like injuries.

In this video Coach Creasy explains how he has used 3 different offensive Ideologies to achieve this goal: 
Combining the Wing-T, the Spread, and Multiple I 

Keeping with the idea-a formation is not an offense-but a method in helping move the football Coach Creasy has achieved these results over the past 4 seasons:

Averaged 45 ppg

Averaged 5,500 yards of total offense

RBs average 7 ypc

WRs average nearly 19 ypc

QBs TD to Interception ratio has been 23 to 3

If you are looking to take your offense to the next level and find more production with less plays, this is the course for you!

• Semi Roll to call side
• Sprint Out
• Screen Game

Coach will draw it up on the board and then back it up with game film:

• Boot to Left Tackle with FB in flats and backside drag & post
