I received a blog from Coach Matsakis (Triple Shoot Offense) last week and it was interesting that he decided to coach again. I went to his Triple Shoot Clinic in Columbus, Ohio and was so impressed with this guy, I wondered why he didn't get back into coaching? When I asked him about that, he just kept saying he couldn't leave Columbus. I guess my thoughts were accurate, I wonder if he started doing these clinics to get back into it or if the clinics motivated him to coach again, either way ... I can't wait to see how he installs his offense in one of the toughest D3 conferences in the country. By the way, he is the new OC at Capital University in Columbus, Ohio. It should be interesting to follow his offense this fall.  |

is the Triple Shoot just the Triple Option run game with the Run N Shoot passing game ?

Not really, The triple option is not really a part of it, though he does run some speed option. Triple to him means a 3 back run game that is combined with a 1 back passing game. His run game does have triple option blocking schemes but the QB does not have to make triple option decisions.
Run game wise, he did have quite a few 1000 yard rushers and even had a guy rush for 2000 3 years in a row with this package.

triple shoot consists mainly of the pop(sweep) and belly series as the base run game. also trap, belly back , belly option, belly toss, belly zone, wrap around draw from the shotgun. Pop is the speed sweep run with outside zone blocking rules.
the big things is the belly is run by using veer blocking rules and by adjusting there splits much like tony demeo does with his spread shotgun option attack. a guard with a 3 tech wides to see what the 3 tech does. if the 3 tech widens with him, it creates a gap to run the belly to the 3 tech side. the guard to a 1 tech cuts his splits down thus creating a gap.
typical splits are 3 ft between the guard and center and 4 ft between the guard and tackle. when you adjust your splits, you create 5 ft splits based on the tech of the defense.
the passing game is PAP off belly and pop. like to run pop switch which is run from a trips set.
passing game consists of your typical run and shoot. manny is a big slide guy.
interesting note, jim collins was a spread guy at capital and he went to Saginaw valley state whoes staff is made up of run and shoot guys. Capital is a spread team and is now going to run the spread set.
I do not care for manny but I wish him best of luck getting back into coaching. he is a colorful guy, a jersey guy who is in love with ohio i guess.

Didn't his brothers both go to high school in Ohio though? I know both of them are on the Kansas staff.

Yes, he is an Ohio Guy. Coaching took him from Kansas State to Hofstra (NY) and when he was there quite a few high schools in Long Island, NYC and NJ were running his offense .... he had a bit of a "cult" following. So, I can see how some would think he is an East Coast guy .... he connected really well with those coaches, now he is helping coaching all over the country with his clinics.
Not sure where this next chapter lies for Coach Manny but there are a few guys that will be watching to see how he does.

Wow! I come to this board because it is NOT footballscoop and bashing. I am really dissappointed that when a coach asks for film on Coach Manny that anyone of us would respond in this way. I really enjoy(ed) this message board until now. Anyhow, if you want to see some of his offense just go to his www.tripleshoot.tv website and you can get a good idea about it. Call him, or e-mail him he has been so gracious to me and every coach that has attended his clinics that I am certain he will help you in anyway you wish. He gave me way more information that I ever expected he would. But, as they say, don't believe people until you really know the person. Coach Manny is a stand-up guy. FYI, I asked him about the NCAA Violations and he told me all about it, in fact he showed me a letter from the NCAA that exonerated him from any major infractions. He just chose to move on and ignored everything in Texas. Just minor stuff, in fact, as far as his offense is concerned that stuff has nothing to do with it, The Texas State offense was the top ranked offense in his conference and in the top 10 that year nationally, even without recruiting his type of players. I also know that the guys he recruited went on to make it to the Final 4 in I-AA and they haven't had a winning season at that school since. I researched that myself, none of this came from Coach Manny. |

I personally liked his work he did at Emporia State. |

Probably nobody has film on him. if he has been so gracious to you, why don't you call and ask him for some cut-ups you can share w/ us

I'd like to learn a little more about his offense. dubmeister: AFM did a good article on his Emporia State days titled "High-Flying Hornets" (he called his system the "Sting and Shoot" at Emporia). If you can't track it down, shoot me an e-mail. |

Thanks anyway Ted. |

Single back based Run and shoot...He was a hell of a coach too, was instrumental at Hofstra, Emporia state, then Texas Tech before taking over at Texas State...then he got in trouble |

is the Triple Shoot just the Triple Option run game with the Run N Shoot passing game ? I call my offense the triple shoot and it is option run game with R&S principals for the pass game. I gave it that name cause it was very fitting. Didn't even know the name was used as a different offense. |

I have acutally run this offense when I was a player. It is a lot of fun for players because there is a lot of scoring. My HC and Matsakis were/are still buddys and I have met him a few times. He seemed like a real class act to me. The thing I liked most was the fact that it makes kids be football smart. It has simple rules for all the positions. I would almost compare it to the Franklin System

Ok so where do we learn more about the offense if we want? I think Bill Williams put out a clinic tape calling it the Fly and Shoot. So where do you findout about the rules the positions used?
