“Leave it better than you found it”

Principles/Logistics of the No Huddle Offense

Tempo/Mindset

Question>> What is your goal?

• Control mind and tempo of BOTH TEAMS
• We want the appearance of hyper speed
• Physical in the run

Meetings… quick reactions make quick reactors

• Players need to ask questions, not always coach driven/lecture
• Make sure QBs come into meeting with questions
• QBs learn from each other!

Practice - make it harder than the game

• It should include unexpected situations
• Helps to narrow their focus, leave outside distraction off the field

Weight Room - This is where you prepare to become a great football player!

Make your physical fitness a real AND physiological weapon.

This is taught as a fundamental just like blocking and tackling.

Playbook

How many words do use?

Motions?

Shifts?

Formations?

Cadence/Snap Count/True Tempo

• The offense controls when the ball is snapped.
• You can manipulate and stress the defense before you snap the ball.
• You give the QB or the Offensive playcaller a tremendous advantage using the time at the LOS instead of the huddle.

Communication-Pre Snap

How do get plays in?

Signals

Signs

Numbers

Coaches/Players/Managers

Wristbands

Use terms/phrases that your team can identify with…

Holtz/ROCKNE

Kelly/BREY

At Oregon….

We used ONE to signal to LINE

And ONE to signal to SKILLED

Practice

• Whatever it is...keep it game like as possible
• Keep your coaching as game like as possible...NO REDOS...have a “NEXT PLAY” mentality
• Number of plays vs number of minutes (The defense on a different schedule usually…
• Use walkthroughs tempo for teaching periods to rest/recover and adjust when tired

Game Planning

• Whatever you run
• You cater to the QB- sometimes you want to call it; sometimes he checks
• You make it more difficult to disguise their defense
• You find or create mismatches 
• Always dictate tempo-mind games and stress
• Brand new every week in the first series >>>> SHIFTS,ACTIONS,ROUTE,FORMATION

***QBs are becoming too much like a specialized position.
Too much GURU/drill work.
More Competition is needed to be successful!!

QUICKEST WAY to communicate a play?

USE ONE WORD for everything= Formation,Strength,Play PERSONNEL TOO!

TENDENCY BREAK= Have one formation that has each of the following

• STRONG RUN
• WEAK RUN

• PLAY ACTION
• VERTICAL

I was writing fast and furious anyone else in attendance feel free to fill in the blanks at

ZONE STICK by Coach Banks!

"Don’t change the play, change the presentation." 
Noel Mazzone

As all of us use the offseason to research changes and updates to our offenses,  I have come to one conclusion, FIND multiple ways to run the same play and not add several new plays. An example of this lies with "America’s RPO"… Zone-Stick!

Here is a clip of the play and three variations.

Play 1: Directly from the 3x1 alignment.

3x1 CLIP at VIMEO

Play 2: Starting in 2x1 pro alignment and using motion to create the 3x1 alignment.

PRO clips at VIMEO

Play 3: Starting in 2x2 and using motion to achieve 3x1 alignment.

2x2 Clip at VIMEO

Play 4: Another way to window dress the 3x1 alignment is to go Trips with the TE away.

NEW a WALK THRU!

3 DAY INSTALL by Coach Banks

Install your offense and 3 days and just repeat! That has been the wave of what football coaches have been saying for the past few years. This post agrees but disagrees with them! Our install schedule on offense has a 10 plan. Which is broken down into three groups, and each group has three parts. Basically we take each install section and have an A, B and C part. People have asked me why we do it that way. To me the answer is simple. As an educator, I look at teaching my players the same way I teach my students. I would never start off teaching multi-step equations on day one without first teaching them one and two step equations, so why would I do that on the football field?

 Our Spring Football and Preseason Install Schedule goes as follows for Ten Days:

Day One	Day Two	Day Three
1A	2A	3A

Day Four	Day Five	Day Six
1B	2B	3B

Day Seven	Day Eight	Day Nine
1C	2C	3C

Day TEN is SCRIMMAGE.

Pretty straightforward right? 

I know you want to know what goes in each group and how we determine what goes in A, B, C. 

Here is a sample for us.

RUNS

• INSIDE ZONE
• OUTSIDE ZONE

PASSES

• VERTS
• LEVELS
• HITCHES
• STICK
• TE DRIVE SERIES

SCREENS

• JAILBREAKS
• KEYS

So on Day A: We are installing Base Formations no motions, no tags, simple line up fast and play the basics (one step equations).

When we come back to 1B: We add something all of our motions, our combo plays for example zone/stick & stretch/pop pass, still no tags (two step equations) 

Then when we get to 1C: Everything (Verts with shallows, and Fade/Out , stick/nod, hitches w/ corner and fades, etc) (multi-step equations) 

This is our modified three day install with groups. 10 day install keeping it easy and simple for our players to learn, after the ten days we meet again as a staff to determine what to keep and what to throw away. 

As always if you have questions, find me on twitter: @tbanks1906 or join us at http://nohuddlespread.proboards.com/ and ask questions away!

The BOLT Offense

I just attended last weekend's Glazier Clinic in Chicago and one of the speakers DEFINITELY had the spark. Joe Osovet, former Head Coach for Nassau Community College. Non stop high energy for the entire day! 

From my notes and his Presentations.

• Foundation is TOUGHNESS…..NOT finesse, gadgets, or tricks!
• Limit the number of schemes for your offensive line
• Ability to run the “READ” game out of our POWER PLAYS
• Make defense defend multiple players during same play (Triples/RPO’s)
• Be MULTIPLE in our Pre-snap alignment
• Play Fast –Well conditioned athletes DEFEAT tired talent!
• MAKE CONDITIONING A FACTOR!
• Put all the thought process on your QB (He touches the ball the most)
• DO NOT let defense play down hill
• Must have ANSWERS on game day

If you have the chance, go see him!  @CoachOsovet

W Read Redux by Coach Banks

A couple years ago, I and Coach Maurek talked about a play from Chuck Martin; I believe 4 to be exact. The name of the play is W-Read. The play is a Boundary Vertical Switch concept that I love to run off of play-action and in 3rd and long situations. If you are looking for a play research this off-season this is it. You can add tags including shallow and an out route and very multiple in formations. Go back here to read, research and watch Grand Valley State clips. 
Here I give you a few of ours from the pass season.
