Books Every Offensive Coordinator or Aspiring OC Should Read

I was going through my books looking for something to read and saw some books that others might benefit from. These are books that have impacted my career as an OC. This list is not exhaustive, as there are many other books that really good. I hope you might find one or two of these helpful as you grow as a coach. 

What is Open - Dub Maddox

What is Open is a great book by Dub Maddox. Dub's R4 system gives you a method of communicating your pass game. It gives you a systematic process and universal approach to your game planning and play calling in your pass game. This helps you to "accelerate" decision making on the field. 

Adapt or Die - Dub Maddox

Dub's follow up to What is Open is Adapt or Die. This will give you essentially a field manual for your pass game, tying together your drops, releases and routes. This will help you drastically improve your pass game. 

Inside the Pocket - Bobby Petrino

Bobby Petrino is one of the top offensive minds in football, and Inside the Pocket is a comprehensive guide to the pass game and using the X's and O's on the field. This is like taking a college course in the pass game. Where Dub Maddox's books give you a way to communicate and accelerate decisions, Petrino's book walks you through a variety of pass concepts. 

Go-Go Offense - Brennan Marion

Brennan Marion is now the OC at Colorado, and early in his career he wrote the Go-Go Offense. Whether you run the Go-Go Offense or not, this will give you some great ideas and concepts you can incorporate within your own system. Brennan is an outside the box thinker who is one of the great innovators of offensive football. 

The Bunch Attack - Andrew Coverdale

This is a classic that has impacted thousands of coaches in football. The Bunch Attack by Andrew Coverdale will give you several ideas you can incorporate into your offensive system. This is a must have for your coaching library. 

Complete Offensive Line - Rick Trickett

Rick Tricket is a great football coach and this is a must have for offensive line coaches and offensive coordinators. If you are new to line play, or you want to learn more about line play, this book is a must have to get a great understanding of the offensive line. 

The Delaware Wing-T: An Order of Football - Tubby Raymond

This is a very difficult book to find, but I highly recommend finding a way to purchase it. Tubby Raymond wrote the bible on the Delaware Wing-T, which is run by teams across the country. Many coaches have taken parts of Tubby's offensive system and incorporated them into their own. 

The Evolution of the Wing-T Offense - Ed Sadloch

Legendary New Jersey Coach Ed Sadloch just released his book on the evolution of the wing-T. Coach Sadloch is one of the most knowledgeable coaches in football, and I highly recommend his book. 

Run And Shoot Football - Glenn "Tiger" Ellison

Early in my career I read the Tiger Ellison's book. This will give you an education on the pass game based in the Run and Shoot. I highly recommend this book to expand your knowledge of offensive football and the pass game! 

Football Coach's Complete Offensive Playbook - Homer Smith

This is one of the first books I read when I started coaching football. The head coach I worked for, David Diaz, had this book on his bookshelf. Homer Smith takes you through the evolution of offensive football and how offenses adapted to defenses. I highly recommend every coach who wants to learn ball to read this book.

I wanted these to be available at a very reasonable cost. These can help you to be more successful on the field and more efficient in the office! 

A while back I got hooked up with CoachTube and put together three courses for offensive football coaches. I put together two courses on RPO's, and a course on Building An Elite System of Communication. All of these courses will help you to score more points! 

https://coachtube.com/users/coachvint

Installing Post-Snap RPO's

Installing Pre-Snap RPO's To Get Your Skill Guys More Touches

Building An Elite System of Gameday Communication

All three of these courses are detailed, with everything you need to be more explosive and to score more points. 

The course on communication gives you a detailed approach to your gameday communication. I give you a system and a process to improve the quality of conversations, leading to improved play calling on game day. This course has received outstanding reviews from coaches at all level of football. A coach with multiple state titles told me this course helped them to be much more efficient and explosive this season. 

My two RPO courses take you through a systematic process of installing RPO's into your offensive system. RPO's put the defense in conflict, forcing them to defend all 53 yards of width and all 6 skill players every single play. I not only give you a system, but I teach you the methods to develop your own RPO concepts. 

Books

I published a couple of iBooks that can help your program with X's and O's. The first is on Installing RPO's into any offense. Here is a link to the iBooks version: http://itunes.apple.com/us/book/id1078061959. The ibooks version includes explanations, diagrams, and video clips on multiple RPO Concepts. It will give you a simple process for implementing them into your offense.

If you don't have an apple device, you can order the paperback version! It is available on Amazon!

Using Multiple Tempos to Create Explosive Plays Kindle Version

New Book

Over the last several months, I have stepped out of my comfort zone and wrote a new book about faith and purpose. The book is available as a paperback on Amazon, and as an eBook for the Kindle App. The cool thing about the Kindle app is that you can read the book on any device. I invite you to read it, and discover the power you receive when you make a decision to walk with the Lord. Here is a link to the book: Finding Faith

Since publishing the book, I have received numerous texts, calls, and emails, from people who are going through similar trials and tribulations. They were feeling many of the same things I was feeling. The found comfort in the book. They also found they had a desire to change and to live better. They wanted more joy. 

I would invite you to read the book and discover the possibilities that God has planned for your life. 

Using Fast Screens to Take Space and Protect Your Runs

Today we are going to talk about three benefits to using fast screens in your offense. 

1. First, is finding and utilizing space. 
2. Second is getting your best athletes quality touches. 
3. Third, is protecting your runs. 

One of the biggest mistakes I make is not always taking advantage of space. A football field is 53-1/3 yards wide. As football coaches, we tend to only use 15 to 20 yards of width on any given play. We want to find where the defense is giving us space and then take that space.  

We want to find ways to get your most explosive players the ball in the space we are taking. The more touches we can get our best athletes, the more of a chance we will have an explosive play. We want to get the ball to a fast guy. I talk about this a lot when I am at clinics and working with coaches. Are we getting the ball to our fast guys? 

I want to give you one very simple way you can force the defense to defend the entire field, while giving you a chance to get your athletes the ball in space. This helps you protect your runs. 

Have you ever tried to run the ball into a loaded box and not been able to have consistent success? If you are successful running the football, teams will load the box to stop your run game. Below is an example of of a defense loading the box to stop the run. We are in a 10 personnel set, and the defense has 7 players in the box. 

It's a Math Issue

When you have 5 blockers, you can only block 5 defenders. We can account for the 6th player by reading him. But we can't block 6 with 5. We can't block 7 with 6. The math doesn't work. Unless you are a lot more physical than your opponent, you aren't going to have many explosive plays. And in many cases, you will have increased negative plays. 

Improve the Math

If the defense has 7 in the box, they only have 4 players outside the box. That is a lot of space for 4 players to have to cover. Some math I like better is to play 2 on 1, or 3 on 2. We want to look at leverage, numbers, and green grass. In the picture above, we have green grass to the field. 

Fast Screens

Fast screens allow us to get 2 on 1 and 3 on two matchups and take advantage of green grass. If we are in a twins set, the defense will play us with one up and one back typically. There will be a force guy and a drop guy. If we can get the ball to our either twin receiver quickly, and the other receiver can block the force player, we have a chance for 6 yard play. 

6 Yards or 6 Points

We are throwing the ball to a receiver in space with a blocker leveraging the force player. If we do a great job of blocking the fast screen, we should be able to gain 6 yards. If we can make one guy miss, that 6 yard gain turns into 6 points. This is a great way to get your fast guys the football in space. Our fast screens provide our best athletes with opportunities for momentum changing plays. 

Two Keys

There are two keys to making fast screens work. 

1. Receivers Must Block For Each Others
2. QB Must Get the Ball Out

First, your receivers must be willing to block for each other. They must take pride in their blocking. If your receivers are not relentless blockers, fast screens are not going to be effective. Second, you have to get the ball out quick. Your QB has to get the ball out of his hands quickly and make the throw with some velocity. We equate the QB to a second basement turning a double play. 

Multiple Ways

There are multiple ways to throw our fast screens to get the ball to great athletes on the perimeter. We can throw the fast screen to #1 as illustrated above. We can throw the bubble to our inside receiver. We can throw the ball to the back with fast motion out of the box, or from a stationary position on the snap of the ball. We can motion a player across the formation to change the math for the defense. 

Attaching Fast Screens to Runs

This is something you can do at every level of football to protect your runs. Every time we call an inside run, we are going to attach fast screens to the call. If the defense gives us numbers in the box, we will execute the run. If the defense loads the box and gives us numbers on the perimeter, we will take the fast screen. This allows us to always protect our runs. 

If you want a systematic approach to protect your runs with fast screens, I have a CoachTube Video that will give you everything you need to do this with a very simple approach. Our fast screens helped us to be more effective at taking space while creating more explosives in both the run game and pass game. 

Instaling Presnap RPOs has helped coaches at all levels of football to score more points and win more games. If you want to have a simple way to throw for more yards and get your best athletes more touches, it gives you everything you need to successfully protect your run game while creating explosives in the pass game. I show you how to install fast screens and attach them to your runs, and how to practice your fast screens. 

This has helped us to increate the number of explosives we have in the run game and the pass game. Because we are taking advantage of perimeter space, defenses tend to widen their alley players. This lightens the box and makes things easier on our offensive line. We also get more touches for our key skill players, and those are quality touches in space. 

This simple concept will improve your run game and give your skill guys more touches. 

I also wrote a book on installing pre and post snap RPOs available on Amazon as a paperback or as a Kindle Book. RPO Book on Amazon

If you have an iPhone or iPad, I have an iBooks Version of my RPO book, which includes video clips!

Take Care of the Ball!

 I watched a couple of scrimmages this weekend and one thing that stuck out was how many fumbles I saw. I saw teams putting the ball on the ground far too often. If you want to win more games, start by not turning the ball over. John Heisman had a quote that resonated with me about fumbling. It might sound harsh, but it is also very true. 

A young OC reached out to me to look at their offense after the 2021 season and figure out how to make improvements. He wanted to talk about their scheme, but the real issue was that they turned the ball over too often. They lost 21 fumbles in 11 games. 10 of those were in the red zone. They fumbled 31 times and lost 21 of them. I asked what they were doing to coach ball security. He said they "talk about it" all the time. Talking about it resulted in 21 giveaways. Let's find a better way. 

My dad is a retired coach, and he used to tell me all the time that talking isn't coaching. You can talk about things all day long. What are you doing to coach the skill? Scheme wasn't their issue. Their issue was making a commitment to coaching the details. We started by focusing on taking care of the football. 

We put a plan in place to teach ball security. First, we defined ball security. You must define ball security for your coaches and your players. If they don't know the definition, they don't know what ball security is. Our definition is "Wrist about the Elbow, Elbow tight to the body, ball glued to the chest." We show them pictures of good ball security and bad ball security. Then we have them hold a football properly and coach them through this in a stationary position. 

Second, we have a coaching cue. This is a two or three word phrase that communicates the definition. We used "Chin the ball." Chin the ball reminds them that the wrist is above the elbow, the elbow is tight to the body, and the ball is glued to the chest. 

Call The Touchdown Play

There are two things every man thinks he can do. Every man thinks he can run the BBQ grill, and every man thinks he can call offensive plays. Most people don't understand the preparation that offensive coordinators put into calling plays. They think its like Madden, where you click a button and the play is executed perfectly. Most people don't understand what goes into installing and building an offense, or the work that goes into preparation. Everyone wants to call the touchdown play, and hopefully I can give you some insight today that will help you all more touchdowns. 

What I want to help you with today is being more efficient with your game planning, and ultimately, using your preparation to call more explosive plays. A lot of coaches I talk to and work with are overwhelmed by the sheer amount of data that is available, and they get overwhelmed. That can be a difficult struggle when you are trying to prepare a game plan. There is so much data, that it becomes difficult to know what is important.

I talk to coaches who love my game planning resource. They love how it helped them to be more organized, but they sometimes struggle with the call sheet. They don't know what to put in the call sheet, or how to manage it during a game. That struggle comes from not having easily accessible data that you can easily understand. Data always tells a story, but there are times I felt I was illiterate. 

A big part of great play calls is about having great data. I am going to make a much better play call if I know what the defense is going to do. If I know when they are going to bring pressure, I am going to make a better play call. If I know what coverage they are going to play on a particular down and distance, I will give us a better chance of calling the "touchdown play."

For several years I spent hours on end putting together excel spread sheets and trying to manipulate the spreadsheets to determine what a defense is going to do. In 2018 I ran into Danny Davis, who was a field artillery officer. He was taking data and analytics used in the military to make strategic decisions, and working on applying that to football. We got hooked up with him, and it revolutionized what we did. I want to show you how it saved us hours on the weekends, while giving us actionable data that helped us become more explosive. 

The data we got from Danny gave me a very clear picture of what we were going to see from our opponent. We were able to know what front they were going to be in, what pressure they were bringing, where they were bringing it from, and what coverage they were playing behind it. It helped us call more touchdown plays, without having to spend hours putting the data together. 

He built two dashboards for offensive coordinators that helped me to desegregate the data in a way that it made sense. It made it easier to understand what the data meant, and more importantly, gave us a much clearer picture of what the defense was going to do. No longer did I need to filter, sort, use VLookup, or any other excel function. I wanted to share this with you to help you to be a better play caller this season. If you want to schedule a demo with Danny, Click Here 

Before I fill out my call sheet, we need to enter the data into our video program. We are going to enter all of the typical data, Down, Distance, Hash, Yd Line, Play Type, Result, Gain Loss, etc. We need that data to be able to build tendencies. The next part of labeling is we are going to add the formation, motion, and play name for every play run against the defense we are scouting. The reason we do this is we want to be able to look at what defense they played against each formation. 

Once we label those three columns, we are then going to label the defensive information. We create some custom columns to get the data we need. We label the Front, Stunt, Blitz, Coverage, and then # of Blitzers. We then add some blitz direction data. To/Away is to the back or away from the back. Strong/Weak is strong or weak. Field/Boundary, is a blitz from the field or boundary. Those columns only get labeled if they blitz a second level player. 

We divide and conquer to input the data, and we try to do at least three games. We want at least 180 plays if possible. The bigger the sample size, the more reliable the data becomes. Once we enter the data, we export the data to an excel spreadsheet from our video program and upload it into Recon. Once the data is in Recon, the magic happens. 

This is what the Blitz Dashboard looks like, giving us a complete picture of the defense. This was from an opponent that we had broken down four games on. On the left we can see how many times they were in each field zone and what hash they were on, and we can see how many times they faced each down and distance situation. In the middle, we see their coverage and stunt percentages. On the right we see the number of times they brought 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 rushers. On the bottom right shows where the pressure came from. They are an odd front team who bases out of 1 high. 

Go Beyond the Results: 3 Keys to Success This Season

Today I want to talk to you about something very important to consider during games, practice, and watching film. 

One of the biggest mistakes I have seen made by coaches, and I have made as a coach, is focusing too much on the result. Sometimes you will have a very poorly executed play work out because your opponent jacked things up on their end. You might miss two blocks on a run play, but your running back breaks a tackle and ends up in the open field for a 75 yard run. Everyone gets so excited for the result, that they don't correct the mistake. 

When you don't correct mistakes, it is going to be harder and harder to replicate success when all things are equal. I see this a lot with teams that are loaded with talent, or they have one or two really good players. They will have a bunch of big plays because they have players who are just better than everyone else. They are able to break tackles in the open field. Or they have a defensive lineman who is unblockable for most high school offensive linemen. 

To avoid this issue, it there are a couple of things every head coach and coordinator should do. First, give your guys specific jobs during games. During a game, it is very important that every coach know what they are looking at, and actually look at that. Every coordinator should have guys assigned to watch different things. I have a sheet for each coach telling them where they should be during the game (sideline or box), and what they should be looking at. One simple rule is to have guys in the box watching away from our sideline, and having guys on the field watch the side nearest our sideline. 

When you have specific roles, you don't miss anything. If everyone is watching the game, no one is going to see when a mistake is made. Game Planning Packet for OC's

In addition to looking at mistakes, guys are looking at what the defense is doing. If you don't have a coach assigned to watch their secondary, you won't know if they are playing sky or cloud, and how they are reacting to certain routes and run actions. On defense, you need to have someone watching the offensive line, and someone watching the receivers on each side of the field. There is nothing worse than giving up a deep pass, and no one saw the route that was run. If you don't know what route was run, you don't know who made a mistake.

When you have a great play, celebrate, but if there was a mistake on the play, don't let the result keep you from fixing the mistake. If a lineman missed a block but the back broke a tackle, fix the mistake. If a receiver ran the wrong route, but the QB scrambled and had a big gain, correct the mistake as soon as possible. This means every coach must have a job to do and they must do that job. If someone wants to watch the game, they can buy a ticket. There is nothing worse than having a player make the same mistake, but no one correcting the mistake until film on Saturday morning. That mistake should have been fixed during the game. 

The same thing is true on the defensive side of the ball. You can't have everyone watching the game. You need to have guys assigned to watch different aspects of the offense. There is nothing worse than giving up a big play, and not knowing what route they ran, or what blocking scheme they used. You have to have specific roles for each coach and have those roles clearly laid out. You need to be able to correct mistakes immediately, not the next day. Defensive Game Planning Resource

Implementing RPO Concepts

Back about 15 years ago we started to experiment with RPO concepts. RPO stands simply for Run-Pass-Option. We were talking about how we would call a run and the defense would load the box. The corner over our single WR, however, was playing 8 yards off the ball with no underneath help. I really wish we had called a stop route.

Fast forward a couple of years and we were playing a team that was crowding the box again when we were in 2x2 sets. They were playing cover 3, with the OLB's playing 1x1 on our tackles. Below is a diagram that shows the defensive alignment.

We built in some uncovered rules, and told the QB to alert "BOZO" if the defense showed this alignment. We would rise up and throw to the #2 WR. Regardless of what the play call was, if the defense showed this look we would check BOZO. This worked well, and eventually the defense adjusted and started to cover our #2 receivers. 

During our off-season meetings we started to talk about building quick game concepts into the call. We began to tag our run concepts with a quick game concept. Once we saw the defense was not honoring our perimeter skill players, we would tag the quick game concept. If we tagged it, we were telling the quarterback to throw it. The QB would fake the run and throw the quick. This was great until we added the tag and the defense lined up to take the quick game concept away. Below shows the defense aligned to take away the bubble.

We told our quarterback, if we tag it, you throw it. Our bubble screen got hit in the mouth. This was not very good. At some point we saw a coach at a clinic mention they were having their quarterback make a pre-snap determination of whether he would throw or run based on defensive alignment. This, to me, was very intelligent. From here, our RPO system was born.

We would build in pass concepts to our runs, and if the defense lined up to take the run, we would throw the pass. If the defense lined up to take the pass away, run the ball. There is nothing magical about this approach. It was sound in principal and in practice. 

When we implemented this initially there were some growing pains. We learned we had to have specific criteria of when to throw and when to run. We had to determine how we would communicate our concepts. We had to train our quarterbacks to be able to make a good pre-snap determination. We also had to make sure we had the "right" guy at quarterback. We couldn't have a guy who was selfish. We had to have someone who would be able to make the right read because it was the right read.

Below is an example of a simple RPO concept off our inside zone read. 

Over the last few years we have greatly expanded our RPO package. Every run now has a pass. When we call the run we are calling the pass. This has greatly helped our offense to be more explosive and more balanced. It has forced the defense to defend the entire width of the field while having to remain gap sound. 

Perhaps the biggest benefit was the fact that we could get our skill players the ball in open space. The touches for our X and Z receivers increased tremendously. Below is an example of our inside zone read concept before we implemented our RPO concepts.

If our QB got a pull read we had to hope our #2 WR was able to block the OLB. If the OLB blitzed from depth or walked up late, our QB basically had to give the ball regardless of what the defensive end did. Our quarterback got hit in the mouth more than once. 

Once we added our RPO concept, if the OLB did not honor our #2 WR, we simply threw the tagged quick game concept. This allowed us to have a high percentage throw the protect the run. Below is a diagram of the same concept with the built in RPO.

If the outside linebacker aligned over our #2 WR, we would execute the run. If the OLB aligned inside our #2 WR, we would throw the quick concept. The QB would catch and throw. If we executed the run and got a pull read, we still had to deal with the backer. The QB would replace the read and get his eyes on the OLB. If the OLB widened, the QB would keep. If the OLB attacked him, he would throw the ball to the #1 WR, illustrated in the diagram below.

Essentially we were playing triple option football, just with a twist. And if you consider our pre-snap process, we would playing quadruple option football. The quarterback could throw the quick game pre-snap based on alignment. If you look to the tight end side, our Z WR is running a stop route. If the defense gave us the stop route, the QB could throw that as well based on pre-snap alignment.

This is just one example simple quick game concept that can be built into a base run play to give you a manageable RPO. You can implement this in a couple of days of practice time, and it will lead to some explosive plays. We now have a multitude of RPO concepts in our offense. 

A couple of questions I get are: Do we have lineman downfield? At times we do, but this is a concept thrown just behind the LOS, so we can have lineman downfield. Does our QB ever mess up the read? They do, but more often than not they are conservative on throwing the quick concept pre-snap. 

We complete this concept at a 98% completion rate, and we average over 6.8 yards every time we throw it. It is essentially a toss sweep to a good athlete. It has helped greatly to improve our run game as well.

 Last year I got hooked up with CoachTube, and put together three courses for offensive football coaches. I put together two courses on RPO's, and a course on Building An Elite System of Communication. All of these courses will help you to score more points! 

https://coachtube.com/users/coachvint

All three of these courses are detailed, with everything you need to be more explosive and to score more points. 

The course on communication gives you a detailed approach to your gameday communication. I give you a system and a process to improve the quality of conversations, leading to improved play calling on game day. This course has received outstanding reviews from coaches at all level of football. A coach with multiple state titles told me this course helped them to be much more efficient and explosive this season. 

My two RPO courses take you through a systematic process of installing RPO's into your offensive system. RPO's put the defense in conflict, forcing them to defend all 53 yards of width and all 6 skill players every single play. I not only give you a system, but I teach you the methods to develop your own RPO concepts.

After speaking at clinics on RPO concepts for several years, and helping several schools install RPO concepts into their offenses, I decided to write a book. It is available on both ibooks and on Windows and Android based systems through the Kindle App.

The book covers everything you need to implement RPO's into your offense. Whether you want to add RPO concepts to your entire run game, or you want to start with one or two simple concepts, this book will show you how to do so with confidence. I cover everything from pre-snap to 2nd and 3rd level post snap concepts and reads. The book is written with a very systematic process to installing RPO's. Regardless of your system, this book will give you a method and a plan.

The apple version on ibooks has video embedded. Their are clips of all of our RPO concepts. The Kindle version has everything but the video clips. Both books are chalk full of diagrams and explanation. The biggest thing is that this book is a manual with a very systematic process of installing RPO's into your system. 

Here is a link to the ibooks version: http://itunes.apple.com/us/book/id1078061959 These iBooks are truly innovative as the video brings the concept to life. If you have an iPad or iPhone, or a Mac, this is the way to go. 

If you don't have an apple device, you can order the paperback version! It is available on Amazon!
