double dive read

This was our "midline" at the previous school I coached at. QB opened up just like any midline play and we read the 3 tech. Had to be run at a three. Center and backside guard combo blocked the backside DT and Backside Inside LB (we saw 4-4 almost exclusively), the playside guard inside ripped up to the playside inside LB, the playside tackle blocked out on the DE and the TE folded around to the OLB--Coach Campbell's "Jill" I believe. If the 3 tech took the dive, the TB replaced him and got the ball. Hope this helps!

The double dive and double dive keep were predecessors to the option with a pitch back.The more we change,the more we stay the same!

Augustana College won several NCAA Div III national championships; from 1982-1986 five appearance with 4 championships in a row. The coach at that time was Bob Reade. He was a very successful high school and Augustana coach. I do not know how his offense evovled but he used a TE/Wing with a Split End opposite the Wing. He ran Power, Counter and Belly(Double Dive) to the TE/Wing side and Triple to the Split end side. The current coach, Jim Barnes, still uses the base offense. There are alot of western Illinois high school that run variation of this offense. Coach reade wrote a coachng book "Coaching Football Successfully" that is a great football book and gives you a good idea of his offense.

coach,

I am having trouble trying to find that thread, could you give some specifics on where it is located?

thanks
