How complex can you get?

If you have a good system in place you can get fairly complex with things. The thing is to realize what your kids can handle and not overload them.

What I shoot for is complexity for the coach breaking us down, but simplicity for our guys lining up to do it.

I agree. One of the important roles of the coach is to simplify complex concepts. This kind of gets back to the post of how long we spend writing our playbook. A lot of the time that we spend is in trying to make it simple for the kids without dumbing it down: making terminology relevant and avoiding terminology that sounds alike; making adjustment rules that are easily understood and as consistent as possible; mixing and matching techniques so that we can show different looks without adding much new teaching. The ideal with something new is to be able to tell the kids that, "It's like Cover X except...".

I know I m late on this but this is a subject I harp on a lot. I pretty much agree with the sentiments above. My personal philosophy is to [hopefully] provide enough looks for the defense via formation and motion to force them to base down their defense.
I am in 1a ball where a lot of the players go both ways as does the practice time..Therefore we get back to that time battle where I have a flexible enough system for my guys formation/motion wise but actual scheme wise[ my OL have 7-8 schemes to learn including pass pro] practical enough to get sufficient reps
