I was planning on driving to Pittsburgh today to hear Maddox's talk on the R4 and E4 topics, but seeing as how I have been a bit under teh weather I am rethinking that right now.
So my question is, has anyone seen him up to this point and is it an informative talk or is it more of a sales presentation?
Thanks for any help.

If you missed Dub Maddox, you missed a great opportunity.
For the record, and you probably aren't aware of this, so I am not holding you entirely responsible for that, we have been on this board informing openly and willingly any coaches who desire to understand R4 and the like, and while I take deep exception to the idea that what we are trying to offer is only a sales presentation, if you consider attempting to get coaches a competitive advantage through a system that is tried and effective a "sales presentation" then I guess that is what we are all about, but I am sure with some investigation you will find that is not the case.
As for Maddox, you will not find a coach more committed to helping kids and coaches crack the code on the benefits of these concepts than Coach Dub Maddox. He is one of the most intelligent, creative, passionate, teachers of the game I have had the privilege to know.
I happen to know that he spent 12-15 hours a day for 2-3 weeks preparing E4 to be ready to serve coaches, and there is no DVD series available yet for sale. He felt, as I did, that is was worth it, to work overtime to get the system ready for teaching, so coaches could benefit now from the concepts, despite the fact that there is nothing to sell.
His ever increasing knowledge of this game, coupled with his capacity to deliver clearly and concisely in an organized fashion, makes him one of the best presenters you will hear.
I am just sorry you didn't feel well, he is a special coach.
One more thought on the "sales presentation," I am sorry you feel that is all you sense this is...it is obvious you haven't really been exposed to the content of these offerings, or the manner in which the material has been shared openly on this board, but I will extend the benefit of the doubt, and chalk this up to a fair question from a coach who hasn't been exposed to these things too much, and has probably been burned in the past by subpar presentations, with little to no content, from coaches who have little to offer. I am sorry that has been your experience...
BUT, if Dub were "selling" something, you would do well to buy everything he is offering because you won't find anyone who is more committed to doing things right with integrity, for the betterment of coaches and players at all levels, and I am privileged to know him.
Hope you are feeling better and can search these things out on the board.

Saw Dub last year for the R4 presentation. This was before the series was out. Yes they did offer preorders at the end of the session but it was by no means pushed. After walking out of the R4 presentation I felt like I could use it right now. Now I have found that depends on how well you retain information but it was by no means a sales pitch. He taught the R4 system and tried very hard to get the room as a whole involved in in the process. I just wish Dub would be at a close clinic so I could hear him talk about the E4. I think we got some brief looks at it last year with the WR drills he showed.

Saw him at Pittsburgh....he was awesome!!! Great speaker/presenter! E4 looks like it is going to great.....as is R4. I've seen both Darrin and Dub and they are far from salesmen. They are both very helpful and great teacher....easily two of the best speakers I've seen!!! I wish the E4 disks were ready!!!!

Coach , I was really looking forward to hearing you speak at the Boston glaizer clinic, but I came down with the flu that weekend and couldn't go. Are you planing on being in the New England area in the future? I heard you might be holding your "Coaches" 4 clinic in the boston area is that true? hope so.

Heard coach Maddox speak at Jenks last year, a very skilled communicator of the game. He presents complex information in a systematic framework, the work of a great teacher of anything. No wonder Jenks is perpetually at the top of Oklahoma football.

No worries coache67, glad you benefitted. I really respect Dub as a coach, and I want coaches to know what value he brings,
as for the burr, unfortunately, I do have to work harder than average to keep that sales mode perception limited. thanks for your patience with me.

I have had the opportunity to meet Coach Maddux at several DSQA camps and the Glazier clinic as well. He has a vast knowledge of offensive football especially in regards of quarterback play and wide receiver play. He systematically breaks down each skill to help each individual player "service" his respective team. Regardless of the players role within the team, the skills and techniques he teaches benefit the starting wide receiver or the 6th string player placing on a uniform. His clinic lectures are thorough and easy to follow. Coach Maddux is a class act. Over the years, I have met many coaches who speak at a clinic and are not willing to answer questions after the session is over. Many try to push their ideas and merchandise on you without giving a definitive argument of why you should utilize their approach or ideas to the game of football. Coach Maddux is not one these men. He gives a very compelling argument to why he teaches each individual skill in regards to quarterback and wide receiver play. His willingness to share his ideas and to clear 'cloudy' issues that I may have had during the lecture is unparalleled. He takes the time to make sure an average Joe as myself has a clear understanding of the topics and concepts that he presents. He has a bright future in coaching and I am excited to see what the future holds for him.  |

R4 is the real deal! I posted on another forum about this topic. Every coach can use this in his offense. Coach Maddox does a great job of explaining the system.
