I've coached now for 5 years. We have been a little successful. In my 5 years, I'm 49-11 at three different schools. I also got lucky and stepped in as an offensive coordinator right off the bat. We been shotgun no huddle since the beginning. With all of this said, I've taught myself everything I know. I've read,begged, barrowed, and stole as much as I can. It has gotten to the point that I don't think I can teach myself anymore. I think I need to go and learn from someone. Who are the great shotgun no huddle guys out there. More importantly, how do you go to work for them?

find out the "why's" behind the scheme not just the actual x's / o's of the scheme. to me, that is what learning is. i not only want to see a good run play drawn up but the theory behind it. this lends itself to the complimentary plays and how that play fits with other plays in an offense.

They have a clinic every year and he might be a good one to visit with. I heard Beatty speak- very good guy to talk to. He has been successful at all the schools he has been and really does a great job with teaching passing concepts. Also helps that he had Percy Harvin at WR (Army All-Am Bowl) and another stud at WR. Landstown is a good program from VA Tidewater Area. Last year 2004/05 they won Div 6 States in Football, Basketball, and Tied for Outdoor Track. Wish we had a few of those athletes... |

Football has been around now for over 100 years. I have learned a lot myself in my short coaching career (6 years) by just researching the game of football -- looking back at the history of football.
If you are a ground-n-pound guy, research some run oriented offensive systems like wishbone, power I, and single wing. If you are a pass happy guy, research passing innovators in modern football. TCU head coach Dutch Meyer (1934-52) was a pioneer in the use of the "forward pass" in football. He was the first coach to show/ use 5 receivers "spread" across the field. That's right back in 1934. Why? Simple, there was no one else doing it.
I believe that we can learn my things from history. Understanding why coaches do / use the systems they do is really important.
