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.
I've been at the school for 10 years now. Playing state powerhouse, they come in with 28 game win streak, blah, blah, blah. Great game, back and forth, lousy conditions, we're up 9-8 after taking intentional safety. On their next drive (2 min to go) we pick them off at our own 10. They have no TO's left, so we run into the line 3 times, then punt with 16 seconds left. We call TO with playclock at 1 to set things up. We make sure of protection, get punt team ready, then we kick. I'm sure they're coming after the block, right? Nope. They fair catch the ball at the 37 yard line. Who can guess what happens next? You older, wiser coaches can probably think of it. The officials back all our kids up 10 yards off the LOS, and the placekicker comes trotting out onto the field with the kicking block and a holder. We stand there and watch, helpless to do anything as this kid booms a 47 yard FREE KICK field goal! Of all the things. What a helpless feeling. Credit to the kid for making the clutch kick, and to their coach for realizing the opportunity. What a sick feeling. Thanks for letting me vent, I've been an avid reader for the past year, but haven't written in before. Anyone else ever coached in a game with a free kick? Anyone lost on one? :Q Enough whining for now, back in the saddle this week,
I saw a team we were scouting lose a game in nearly the EXACT same way. I had never seen a game end like that, and I can only imagine what a gut-wrenching feeling that must be. Keep your head up, coach!

There is nothing that will show a man's true character like the 2 yard line.
