No huddle

I have not ran it for a whole game, but I am thinking about doing this in my up coming season. What do you think are the pros and cons to running this style of offense? I Coach high school kids, so one of my issues might be the focus it take from the whole group to run that type of offense.

just saw a coach from Rice speak @ Chicago clinic (formerly at Tulsa and W. Va) about the no huddle and its affect on HIS PLAY CALLING.
He said he played against Maryland when he was at W. Va w/ Rich Rodriguez and what caused him trouble was the CONSTANT CHANGE OF PACE. They would no huddle sometimes and not others, so as the D Coordinator he didn't know if/when he could change personnel or take time sending in a defensive call. He had very high praise for Marylands O Coordinator because of how well he kept W.Va defense off balance. Something to think about. If I as a dCoordinator know I have time call plays I probably call in a different way than if I'm pressed for time to communicate.
Because of this he has a system to communicate w/ his players that is very interesting

Dear Tiger:
Yes, I knew I had a reason to be angry with you. I just know figured it out. (LOL)

PS: Yes, Coach Taaffe's fall from grace was alot of heartache for all concerned. The program at El Cid has never recovered. We went from dogs to DAWGS (1-AA quarterfinals) to dogs all within 3 or 4 years. We have had some good men as coach since, but either they were getting near the end of their careers or were offered really good assistant jobs a Div 1 or NFL. Charlie really seemed to understand how to work with Cadets and squeeze great work out of them. For one, he realized how hard it was to recruit a great passer/QB to a military school even if they didn't have to go into the service afterwards. OH! Did you notice my classmate Lance Thompson is O'Leary's DC at Central FL.

HEY BEETLE,

WAS LANCE THOMPSON THE KID THAT GOT ALL THE PUB ABOUT GOING TO THE NFL FROM THE CITADEL,
THE ONE SPORTS ILLUSTRATED CALLED " THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE" ? IF SO, HE WAS A GREAT PLAYER. NO, I DID NOT KNOW HE WAS WITH GEORGE AT CENTRAL FLORIDA. WHAT POSITION DID YOU PLAY? AL SEMONSEN WAS THE LB'S COACH AND HE AND CHARLIE RECRUITED MY SON. IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, AL WENT TO MARYLAND WITH CHARLIE, DID HE NOT? I REALLY LIKED AL, HE WAS A GOOD MAN. THEY HAD A GREAT LINE COACH AT THE CITADEL, HIS NAME ESCAPES ME AT THE MOMENT, A BIG ITALIAN GUY. THE RECEIVER COACH THAT WAS THERE AT THE TIME, ENDED UP GOING TO CLEMSON WHEN MY SON LANCE WAS THERE. HIS NAME WAS RICHARD SOMETHING, WORE HIS SOCKS PULLED UP TIGHT INSTEAD OF WITH A LITTLE SAG IN THEM AS MOST OF US DO. HE WAS A GOOD RECEIVERS COACH! SPENT TIME WITH CHARLIE IN THE FILM ROOM TALKING AND WATCHING HIS OPTION GAME ON OCCASION AND ALWAYS ENJOYED PICKING HIS BRAIN.
