Hey Coaches,
I was wondering, what do you all think of scripting the game plan(High School) with your Quarterback? The QB I have is a smart guy and him and I communicate on what we see on the field, sometimes he see's things that I dont see. What do you all think? For example he and I sit down and discuss what plays would be most effective for 3rd dwn and 6yrds to go. Thanks guys. Please give me your opinion.

I don't mind scripting 10 plays but I think that you gotta be willing to go away from the script. I like the idea of getting your formations shown to see what they line up in, but don't run Iso on 3 and 8 just because its the 3rd play on the script.

Yash-- The solution to that is to script SITUATIONS...not plays.
You script out your "openers" from your call sheet. Script out your first P and 10, your first 1st and 10, your first 2nd and long, medium, short...your first 3rd adn long, medium, short. I think that that makes a great deal more sense than putting together a 10 play script in H.S. As you said, Iso isn't necessarily a great call on 3rd and 8.
Although, I could see validity in an argument stating that H.S. play results vary a great deal more than College and Pro, and that a team running more of a series based approach would benefit from a specific series of plays.

Let him provide a list of scripted plays on Thursday or so after you have spent the week practicing plays. Compare it to the script you and any other coaches have come up with. Anything all of you have is going in.
Most important are probably situational scripts: Only have him put in one play for 3rd and 3, 2nd and 5, blitz etc. His answers will tell you exactly what he is comfortable with. You're the coach, he runs what you says, but it's nice to know what he likes.
And again it's most useful later in the week after you have spent the week working on what you have put in/adjusted for that week's opponent. Helps you whittle it down to the stuff that he is comfortable running on gameday and that's always a good thing.

Last time they ran off my script we had 26 points at the end of six plays. The top 3 skill players got with me and each said what they liked, those ideas actually fit what we had in mind and had done best in practice. Each one helped the other become the feature of the plays they ran, signature items.
We actually spent more time on defense that week and it showed in the game. The short field allowed those good gains(about 20 or more a pop) to score or set a score up on the following play.

I'm going to script my first 15 plays but go off the script accordingly as need be. I like the idea of scripting plays because of how much we will shift and motion not to mention I can run by best 10 or 15 plays against what coverage's I think I will be seeing. If something is working I can come back to it.
