Here is something I've not given much thought to. Lots of coaches ask about best systems for certain kids (usually, "my kids are small/slow/weak, what do I run?"). What do you do if you are short staffed? Or, what is the best offense (or defense) you can run with only a handful of coaches, and still coach the positions?
I was thinking this could be one thing for pro coaches, with large staffs and lots of specialization. You have receivers coaches, QB coaches, RBs (Sometimes halfbacks and fullbacks), OLine, TEs/H-backs, and so forth.
I thought about the true "spread," (4-wide, 1 back), and you could say you only have four positions: OL, WR, RB, QB. And probably the same coach can teach RBs and QBs (and send RBs with WR or OL for certain drills, or send QBs with WRs for others). So you could coach a fairly sophisticated offense with 3 coaches, because they all would need the same techniques.
Now for a big program you might have gobs of people, but if you only have three coaches you probably don't have that many kids either.
Anyway, just a thought I had. I know option coaches for years have always combined QBs and RBs, and often sent TEs with OL most of the time, but was curious if anyone else used this as a criteria when designing an offense or defense?
