Installing Today’s Hybrid Pistol Offense Run & Pass from Top to Bottom
This manual provides you with the full offensive line, receiver, and quarterback mechanics for installing each offensive play presented. Coach Campbell has left no stone unturned for implementing today’s Pistol Offense into your program.
Have used it for over 10 years now, it is an inverted wishbone that I call diamond. It is a specialty alignment that we run to max protect our QB out of. WE also run it from double tites and run short yardage and goal line power plays out of, as well as, our passing game. VERY EFFECTIVE FOR US!

If there is, I am not aware of it. I "stumbled" on to the formation one day totally by accident in practice. I had run the triple out of the bone on the HS level for a long time, and as I stood watching my guys in middle drill one night, the formation just came to me as a great way to insure protection of the QB, as well as, run out of. If someone had ran it before, I never saw it. I'm certainly not trying to take credit for it, but it works well for us.

Coach -
We run a version of this that we call Bone Cat. It is an inverted wishbone with the QB in shotgun. We mainly use it as a short yardage or goaline set.
My hogs love it because our OC always puts my two most athletic "Big Uglies" at the two upback positions.
We also run just a straight-up inverted Bone like Breddick posted about. We call it Legend in honor of a coach named John O'Boyle, who ran it for years at Stockton High School in Northwest Illinois (O'Boyle won 2 state championships and has the most coaching victories in Illinois high school football history).
Doesn't Jerry Kill at Southern Illinois use this? I have just seen this flow through on some forums but not gone into on any depth. Apparently he uses it as an option and power formation. Anyone out there really know anything about this? Greg B

Not sure about Jerry Kill, but we picked up the inverted Bone shotgun formation from one of the parochial high schools in downstate Illinois. Probably a very good chance that they picked it up from the Salukis.
We use this also. We run gap o and use the back on the side of the puller to fill for the guard. We Run iso with the two fullbacks splitting, and we used to run outside veer out of it. Toss is a good play and you can get both guards out by filling with the backside fullback, and you can run a misdirection trap off of toss to the backside fullback. This year I got double splits and put the qb in the shotgun with the tailback beside him out of this formation and scooted the two fullbacks up and blocked everyone down and had one back kick out and the other wrap. I either handed to the tailback coming in front of the qb or had the qb keep off this action. It was hard for the defense to see the two fullbacks because of how tight they were to the oline. I mean they were sniffing their tails. You could run the crazy option off of this look too and have a lead up inside of the end out of this look. We threw it deep down the sideline when we had good matchups on the outside with really good protection.
