Coaches, What do you know about the Tony Franklin "system"? I checked into it and it is very expensive. Have any of you been involved or know anything about it. I would like to talk to a coach who has used it or had experience with "the system". Thanks for any help or advice.

I have coached the 3 x 2 spread for 20 years, long before it ever became popular. I have built a system that has been very successful for us on both the high school and professional minor league levels. I will be more than happy to share with you FOR FREE. We built a record of 76-23-1 for regular season play, 2 Divisonal Championships, 7 play off wins and won the 1994 AFL Super Bowl (Professional Minor League) with it. Also was the Head Coach for the Southern Division Pro Bowl Team that year and won that game 16-7 utilizing it. I retired in 2005 after 43 year on field career as a QB coach/OC and Head Coach. If you care to talk call me at 864-224-6628, I can help you and I don't charge to help high school coaches.

What college team would you say it most resembles? I am looking for some information on a Missouri/W. Virginia (now Michigan I guess) type offense. Thanks.

L'ILL SPURRIER,

AT THE RISK OF SOUNDING LIKE A JERK, I HAVE RUN THE 3 X 2 SPREAD LONG BEFORE ANY OF THESE
MODERN DAY COLLEGES EVEN HEARD OF IT. I TAKE NO CREDIT AT ALL FOR THE FORMATION AS IT WAS USED AS EARLY AS 1940! I HAVE MY OWN PHILOSOPHY ABOUT HOW TO RUN IT AND IT HAS BEEN VERY GOOD TO US. I AM IN THE MIDST OF WRITING A BOOK ON THIS SUBJECT AND REALLY AM TOTALLY INVOLVED WITH THAT PROJECT. I DON'T KNOW OF ANY COLLEGE THAT RUNS IT LIKE I DO AS MY EMPHASIS IS STRICTLY ON THE PASSING GAME, WHERE MOST TEAMS WANT TO SPREAD PEOPLE OUT AND RUN THE BALL. WE RUN IT TOO, OF COURSE, BUT WE ARE ALL ABOUT THE PASSING ASPECTS OF THE FORMATION. HOPE YOU DO NOT MISCONSTRUE MY SAYING THIS, BUT I REALLY DON'T HAVE TIME TO GO INTO ANY DETAIL RIGHT NOW. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO DO BOTH HERE ON THE BOARD AND THE BOOK AND IT HAS JUST BECOME TOO MUCH. I ASK FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING COACH.

Coach, stop answering questions and finish the book! lol. I need to put mega points up next season. Truthfully, I am looking forward to your book as I know from talking to you that your information works at all levels. We took some of your 3x2 suggestions the last 2 games of the seaon and put up 35 and 38. The crossing patterns from the formation were awesome against the zones. Anyway, good luck and keep typing.

MITCH,

Not really, I'm trying not to be in a hurry and to keep it as indepth as I can and that takes a lot of reflection, diagramming, etc. In addition, I am tying in some special game memories of our 1994 AFL
Super Bowl championship team by interspersing them as on an ongoing account throughout the book to, hopefully, keep the reader's interest. In addition to that, I am also taking the time to explain my personal philosophies about not only the 3 x 2, but about the game in general.

Coach Easton,

As I've said before, I'd like to be first in line to purchase the book, autographed, of course. Best to you in the endeavor as I'm sure with your injections of the 1994 AFL SuperBowl highlights it will certainly keep any coach on any level feel as if they are right there on the sideline as you explain your offensive philosophy and your philosophy in general.

Mike

Coach Jerry,

Super! I know it will become a very valuable resource for those interested in learning more about the 3x2 Spread/Empty Offense from both a defensive and offensive perspective. It will be a MUST in any coaches' library.

Thanks for all your help along the way and continued success in your writing endeavor. God Bless.

Book is at the Publisher's now! I will keep you abreast of when they have it ready for distribution. I tried to keep it in the easily understood mode, yet in depth enough to give you what you really need to know if you are serious about installing it. Includes some of my favorite plays that have been good to us over the years. Hope it is worthy of your time in reading it.
