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.
How many plays do you run in your Defensive Team period?
How do you designate work to your assistant coaches? Right now I am overwhelmed--- guys are new and young-- they are not getting done what needs done. If asked to draw pass plays for cards, it gets done without our defense drawn in, etc.
thanks
If you can "stop the run", the offense becomes predictable.
that is why i end up doing a lot of the stuff myself.
You have to be very specific about what needs to be done, like actually showing them what you want.
As far as team D, as many plays as we can get. It usually takes 30s to a minute to get the scout team running at first. I would say we spend 20-30 mins 2 times a week on team d once the season starts, plus maybe 30 more minutes of half speed or pre-game stuff..
Whenever I had new coaches, we had a minimum of 3 staff meetings a week (regular regimen was always at least 2) just for the purpose of DEMONSTRATING AND PERFECTING TECHNIQUES that I wanted coached CORRECTLY. They can't coach what they don't know and you will soon discover you cannot be truly efective trying to do everything yourself. You must learn to coach smarter, not harder.

1. Goal is to out practice our opponents.
a. Practice harder
b. Practice smarter
c. Practice with game day intensity
2. You Must Get Your Position To Believe That You Are The Best Coach And Teacher In The League. If The Players Don’t Believe, We Won’t Win.
3. We Must Be Great Teachers.
What you see on video is what you have coached.
You are a teacher! Your teaching is evaluated by your player’s performance. Profs can have A, B, C, D, F students. We must have all A’s. Keep things simple. Don’t over coach. Find the best way to teach. Teach fundamentals. Our goal is that each player masters the fundamentals at his position.
4. We Know What Must Be Taught – Staff Growth. Improve Schemes, But Have A Philosophy And Sell It To The Players.
5. Utilize Teaching Aids.
Change up procedure of meetings
Must use them
Video Breakdown (find a way to use it).
Marking Boards – accuracy of diagrams is critical – 75% of learning is visual.
Practice and Scrimmage Video
Training Video
6. Great Enthusiasm (Not Cheerleading) - 3/1 Theory (3 Positive - 1 Negative).
Explain to athlete we criticize performance and not to take it personally. Find things to be positive about.
80% of your communication and motivation should be positive! If this is not true, then change!
7. Must Be Consistent.
All players must be team players and abide by the Team Covenant.
Consistency in everything.
Praise and criticize – all players. Players will notice any inconsistency in your player interaction.
Coach toughness. Coach toughness. Coach toughness. Coach toughness. Coach 100% effort every play. Every Play Every Day! - Play Hard Players must be on time every scheduled meeting or practice. Attention to detail.
Demand players to compete in everything they do. (6-second player)
8. Hard Workers On Field. Coaching.
Coach every play! Coach every play! Coach every play! Coach every play! Don’t stand in one spot. (Hands in pockets, arms folded not permitted in our program.) Get to where the action is.
If coach stands around, so will players. No clinics on field. That’s why we meet and have walk-thru. Coach will run drill to drill just like the players. Players must run on the field - never walk.
Players don’t lay on the ground. Demand enthusiasm, intensity and knowing assignment.
9. Control The Hitting - Tag-off, Play Ball Live-Tag Off, Thud, Live.
10. The best coaches in the country take their players
performance personal. OUR COACHES TAKE THEIR PLAYERS PERFORMANCE PERSONAL!
All you have listed above is what I call collectively: COACH TOWARD PERFECTION IN EVERY ASPECT OF THE GAME. Your list is certainly all inclusive in my book.

Coach, if you are coaching high school, you MUST run 48 plays/practice. Statistically, that is the average amount that will be run in the game. This can be done with 7-on-7, 9-on-7, and 11-on-11. Make sure you coach situational defense and train your players to know the who, what, where, when, and why of the situation. I coached a defense last year that allowed 10 touchdowns in 10 games and went undefeated on the college level. It was a great learning experience for me.

Essentially, we do a 9-on-9 drill. There are no corners and receivers in the drill. The offense will run ANY running play vs. our defense. We play ANY defense called. When I was at the Browns' Training Camp, they did a true 9-on-7 with no secondary. At the Bills' Training Camp they didn't do any 9-on-7.
Philosophically, I wonder if the 9-on-7 drill provides any more merit than simply going 11-on-11 because you need to involve safeties in run support and if you're a "cloud" team, you need your corners to force. So I really wonder if it's necessary. When I was at Penn State in the spring, they did not do any 9-on-7. It's an interesting topic.

I like half-line stuff...rapid fire plays..no huddling...against various looks. Easy to align the defense . Wr's and DB inclusive and the work stalks block's and you can add play Action pass to keep corner and LB honest. You can add BSG for pulling;traps and counters.
The best part of this is amount of plays and the coaching that takes place.....Ol coach only has 1/2 line to watch. Rec coach has 1 to coach. 2 plays per minute.
Happy are those who dreams dreams and are ready to pay the price to make them come true.
"9 on 9" is the way to go. Bugel described it in his great tape from Gilman Gear.
QB gets to see SOME pressure - plus 2 defenders get pass rush & 2 blockers (alternated & designated as "live") get pass pro combos (2 on 2 - work vs. twists, etc.). They may not hit the QB however.
