I love that there are games on about every night but I have to watch them with the TV muted or I will break stuff.
Erin Andrews needs to wear a bikini and shut up.

Auburn,
4th year hc here. We started out with a playbook (collection of plays). After our first season we got together with a local college and settled on a system. Like the other coaches said a system is a language but its also a set of rules for how you do things. We are a shotgun spread team but we can get into a two back double tight set within our "system" if that makes sense. We teach about 6 blocking schemes in our run game so for example if we run inside zone out of 4 wide shotgun or inside zone out of two back double tight its quite a different play but for our guys up front its all the same. Thats the beauty of a system. A good one actually gives you a logical way to get into everything that you want/ need to. By the way before this season, we figured out that with all of our motions and formations we could run inside zone 84 different ways with nothing changing on the line. When you first mentioned systems vs playbooks you made it sound like you were thinking systems limited flexibility, actually a good system acts as a vehicle to do what you want because the rules and language are already in place.
If none of that makes sense I apologize. The drinks have been good tonight.

I agree with all of the above posts. We do this with lots of two way players (usually at least 5). Great tempo for practice because you don't have the down time of running back to the huddle each play. Makes it tough for defenses to sub but easy for you to sub. Guys get a rest after they have already lined up for the next play. I don't know if I'll ever go back to huddling with my offense no matter the scheme.

Love this offense. We run something similar. The most important part of making this work will be your pass pro. If you can protect your QB this will work. Most guys that try this and fail do so because their pass pro scheme is no good or they can't execute it.
Lots of great posts on this by the way.

What I've found to be a lot more useful than clinics is to find out what you want to run and find a local college who runs that system. Call them up and ask to spend a day talking to them. That is better than a clinic because you have those guys all to yourself and you can ask them the things that matter to you instead of listening to what a certain person planned to talk about at a clinic. Most college coaches are eager to help HS guys.
