As an OC you have to accept that you will be in the most critiqued position on staff. Everyone thinks they can call plays and that it’s easy. In reality it’s one of the hardest coaching positions in all of sports. But that’s also what makes it one of the most fun positions.

I just finished an offensive line manual I wish I had early in my career. Not more plays. Not more scheme. Just a simple system: – Indy – Technique – Combos – Fixes – Friday adjustments No fluff. Comment “OL” and I’ll send it.

Your formations and plays create conflict for specific defenders. Know which ones and what they are doing and you have your answer on what to call. Coaches who struggle to sequence plays are usually trying to solve for too much. Narrow it down. Focus on who is in conflict.

The hardest part of building an offense isn't installing a new play. It's cutting one. Coaches add because they think another answer will make them feel safe. Cutting feels like you won't have enough. Like something will be missing. But every play you keep that doesn't serve your system costs a rep that your best play needed. Stop collecting answers. Start trusting the ones you already have.

Everyone is always asking for playbooks. Few are asking for the why behind it. The concepts that connect, the conflict defenders, the if/then sequencing. Playbooks are easy, systems are hard. If you copy the plays and skip the why, all you have is a binder with no identity.

Your system should survive personnel turnover. If losing one player breaks your offense, the system wasn't built right. Built right means your base play works with anyone. Your constraints flex to whoever is in the room. Same structure. Different faces.

Truth OCs don't want to hear: If your system only works with one type of player, it's not a system. The best offenses aren't rebuilt every year. They're built once, with enough flexibility to feature whoever is walking the halls. Same plays. Different weapons. Same results.

Corky Miller finished his big league career with exactly one stolen base... and it is perhaps the greatest SB of all-time. Happy birthday, @Corky_Miller!

@CoachFBInsights This times 1000 - also, how can you take the same skills that make your players good at one thing and use it to be good at 2 others - make teaching keys and the skills that are being mastered translate to multiple areas.

@CoachYashinsky @andrewgolden_17 @coachkou Obv completely different in NFL but I love it for pass pro - as a team heavy in half-slide. Allows QB to quickly & easily flip protections. Added bonus was it forced our RBs to attack downhill/be aggressive in pro. Can always move RB to gun vs Mug or other worrying defense align

Go to center or run the pistol you’ll get a lot more out of your play action game!

@Coach_ChadJohn I always scripted 12 plays - not necessarily called in order, - but I also liked to script drive openers for the 1st 3 or 4 possessions, plays I felt really good about against the defense's preferred way of playing on the 1st downs of a possession

Play Callers - Do you script your opening drive? If so how many? 3? 6? 10? We did a tentative 10 last year - could adjust if we needed to. We really liked it and it seemed to get us locked in early with our best plays/formations. We had a lot of success with it.

One thing people outside of coaching and even a lot of coaches don't understand - it's a calling and, while all the cliches and soundbites are great - too many coaches aren't willing to truly do what it entails & sacrifice to actually do what's best for their players and program

Most people have no idea what coaches trade for success. Here's what Nick Saban told Joel Klatt after Joel told Saban he was jealous of his coaching career.

You have to make a choice. Coaching life is hard but rewarding I have a lot of respect for them men who have dedicated lives and have been able to impact so many young men. I WAS NOT willing to trade what it takes. I chose family. Now that kids are getting older, who know? Nothing like being in the Arena.

One of Saban’s best speeches. Greatness demands relentless standards. No shortcuts, No underestimating anyone. Teach your team to embrace the hard truth & build a culture where complacency has no place. Adversity isn't the enemy…it's the teacher.
