That's my dad's team highlighted in the articles. "dacoachmo" is right it is just a different "spin" on the single wing. Combination of wing-t, power football, etc. out of the shotgun double slot.
My team, however runs the Tony Franklin System for offense, but I use the Spin as a change-up. It has worked really well for us in that capacity.

I was at the World Clinic this past week and the coach who wrote the AFM articles spoke on the Spin Offense. He said that there is a 6 DVD series on it that is detailed. His name is Dale Weiner from Catholic High School in Baton Rouge, LA. I guess you could get it from him or from AFM or some of the coaching video sites. He seemed like a genuine guy who really liked this package for his offensive gameplan. It is double wing/single wing principles from the gun with the QB always turning his back to the defense to conceal the giving or keeping of the football.

It is double wing/single wing principles from the gun Actually, it looks like double wing/single wing principles from the double wing, to me...the one Pop Warner invented in 1912.  The author who actually wrote the AFM pieces did Coach Weiner a huge disservice by making it look as though he claimed to have "invented" the full spin from a direct snap offense... |

You right about doing a disservice if you read the article and felt it was crediting my father with inventing the offense.
He actually had already ran some single wing stuff when I played for him ten years ago. We called it the STAR package. A few years back after reading an article in COACH Scholastic about a similar offense he started to implement what he called the SPIN package. He added more and more to it and with a successful program it was noticed he was running a version of the single wing.
My old man has gotten some nasty letters accusing him of claiming to invent this offense. He never says that in the articles or tries to claim it, in fact any time he speaks he usually devotes some time talking about how he started running what around our area, was some forgotten single wing plays.
Anybody interested in getting some cut-ups can email him at dweiner@catholichigh.org

I would like more material on this offense if anyone has it. |

Does anyone have the 3-part series from AFM that they would care to share?

Just remember everyone wants to hate on your dad for all the success. Of course, he did have a lot of help...Travis, Warrick, Major...
And it goes to show you just how shabby reporters are...the guy in ESPN the mag didn't even get the mascot right. The "Bruins" I mean is research THAT hard? (it is the Catholic High School Bears) for those who don't know

Have been in contact with Coach Weiner at Catholic and you couldn't find a more accommodating guy (I shouldn't say that 'cause I don't want to spoil a good thing!). I'm fascinated by the Spin and how I can work it into my WingT/Shot Wing scheme and he's been real good about responding to the emails I've sent him (he can thank you for givin' that out, Neil!) and answering questions. I do have to let him know how booting the QB out the back side works off some of the plays that I want to run, since he said he doesn't do that.
