2 yrs ago I was coaching the game that would win us a trip to the State Championship. Today I live 4 hrs away, at a new job, a father of 2, and more or less a "coaching consultant". Life can take you away from the game. And that's ok. Just appreciate the time you have with it.

I see a lot of coaches commenting "Oh, that offense is easy to stop. Just do so-and-so". They average 11 wins/yr. Guess they're just fortunate most coaches in Texas aren't as smart as the ones from Twitter. 🤣

Is there anything more miserable for a Defense than playing 4 Quarters against the Slot-T?

Many HS teams (especially smaller ones) would be more successful running vintage offenses rather than trying to copy what they see on Saturdays.

What opinion about sports do you have that would put you in this position against everyone else?

People love to crap on the Wing-T until they get ran on for 400 yds

Don’t run the same offense as everyone in your conference. The goal is to be a nightmare to prepare for.

Air Raid coaches who crap on 3 & 4-back offenses have less in common philosophically with Mike Leach than many of the coaches of 3 & 4-back offenses.

1/3 When you’re Wing-T, you probably don’t have tons of time for the pass game. Versatile concepts are ideal. Scissors originated in the West Coast offense, but I learned it from Coach Gilleran of Lake Hamilton and his “Waggle and Roll Passes” presentation. (link in comments)

1/2 Some say the Wing-T wont work in today's game. Then theyre presented with proof to the contrary. Then some of those same people say "OK fine, but it wont work at a large school". I know of only a handful of large schools who run it. Here are their records the last 3 yrs:

"If the Wing-T is so great, why don't we see any D1 colleges or NFL teams using it?" Hold my Waggle...

"What will Wing-T guys do when they have a stud QB?" Fair question. All coaches should seek to learn & adapt to maximize their talent. What do Air Raid guys do when they don't have a decent QB? Isn't that the more common problem? Not enough talent rather than too much?

Don't you know that is how it works these days? Just keep regurgitating the lie until it is accepted as fact.

People love to crap on offenses like the Flexbone (or Wing-T, Wishbone, Power T, etc.) until they get ran on for 400+ yds. Hopefully this leads to more diverse offenses at the higher levels. Imo neither the spread nor the flexbone are bad for the game. Homogeneity is.

Last night my HC and I talked about 4 different ways you can sell a Buck Sweep fake when running Boot (what many call "Waggle"). We're in year 6 running this offense. If you're bored of the one you run, you probably aren't paying enough attention to the small stuff.
