Does anyone know if there has been a book (s) written in detail about the history and evolution of offense and defense? I have googled this topic and the responses always take you to more player and team specific books. Thanks.
(I posed this question here because it is not a book review.)

Rex Ryan does a good job of explaining the evolution of the 46 in the opening pages of his book.
Google / Wikipedia "Clark Shaughnessy (sp?)" and you will pretty much get a basic Darwinian account of offensive evolution

Coach,
Homer Smith has a 17-volume series of manuals. One of them includes this topic. I highly recommend all of them.

I have a theroy on the evolution of defense as it pertains to the different levels of play.
High School - just get lined up correctly and fly around the ball
College - Disquise coverge, stunt linemen, and fly around the ball
Pro - put all 11 players at the LOS and bail out at the last second.
Just my opinon
Coach Vaughn

What kc361 said: homersmith.net/?page_id=30You don't have to agree with everything the delphic Mr. Smith says to get great value from this book. |

, Football started before WWI and quickly took on the same approach of trench warfare used in the war. During WWII and its subsequent use of air power, the forward pass came into being.... 
Nowaday's, we have high tech precision & stealth technology, which is the equivelent of the spread option game
