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.
Does any of you run a no huddle option offense, and how do you install it? Any special teaching progression when teaching the reads so you know what play to run? Thanks in advance for your answers.
Coach Bets,
Tony Annesse from Muskegon, MI. runs a no-huddle flex-bone. I went to see him at a clinic and it seems fairly easy. Here's the general run down.
1: Get everyone to line in 2-pt stance and have QB approach C to get DEF set right away.
2: QB steps back and signals to Coach where 1 & 3 techs are (maybe more info too).
3: Coach signals the play back into QB who audibles to team.
This was clinic talk so I didn't ask what were snags. Hope it helps.
What have you been running? We ran it this year, shotgun spread option. First, don't get in the habit of saying what should we run. How do you know what to run. Like the FBI you play with real money so you can tell what is counterfit. You practice your plays, look at there alignments have a game plan. It's like chess, yes you want to try to scoreearly and often. Find there weakness, POA, attack that with you offense. See how they react, play chess and adjust. You look a few plays or drives down the road. To pull off the no huddle it's a state of mind. You must believe. I can help with more specifics if you would like.
For you coaches that do call all your option stuff at the line, what gives you the most problems? I guess the obvious one is just having the 1 and 3 techniques shift right before the snap, but is there anything else in particular that is harder to deal with?

we switched at the end of 2005. We went 2-1 down the stretch with our only loss being by 6 to the team that finished as the runner-up. This year we went to it full time and we were 11-2 and lost in the semi-finals. Best year in school history!!!

Thanks for the replies. I should have made myself more clear on what I was looking for.
I run Mid-line, ISV & OSV out of the flex-bone formation. Counters and play-action are the complmentary plays.
The information I'm looking for is this: How do you convey the information needed to run the play up there on the los? How do you convey the play direction, the play itself, snap count, and do you call out blocking schemes as well? Also, do you limit the number of plays that you run no-huddle, or do you put in your whole playbook?

We do it with wristbands...we put plays that are in the game plan for the week on wristbands, and then signal in formation and play from the sideline...sometimes play might be a check with me call, which the qb will survey the defense first and based on gameplan will make the final decision where the play is going!!! Hope this helps...by the way, we use different cards throughout the game...we switch cards at the end of each quarter (sometimes during the quarter, but not often)!!!!
