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 interviewed for a Head Coaching position and was turned down for somebody with a much more impressive resume and much more experience. However, I guess I made a good impression with the Interview Committee and they asked me to interview with the new coach for an assistant position.
I interviewed last week and they offered me a position as the Offensive Line Coach/Assistant Offensive Coordinator (Head Coach is the OC). It is a step up from what I currently doing as an O-Line coach without any coordinator responsibilities and the Head Coach really impressed me so I took the position.
The interesting thing for me is this:
I have always been an I-formation Power/Iso and Veer guy. I am used to repping run blocking for the majority of our individual periods and our pass protection was always Turnback or 7 man simple protection. The Head Coach that I'm going to be working under next year is a Tony Franklin Spread guy.
I am familiar with pass blocking technique and understand 6-man slide protection on paper but have never really coached 6-man protection.
I know I am a hard worker and already have a basic understanding of this stuff but I really want to get started learning and preparing right now. If anybody has advice for me in preparing for next season I will take it. I know there are some very knowledgeable people on here. Also, are there any good pass protection DVD's people can recommend to me?
Solid reply John! It is the Head Coach's program and it is his responsibility to MAKE CERTAIN all assistant
coaches FULLY UNDERSTAND WHAT HE WANTS, AND HOW HE WANT'S IT COACHED. That's why it has always been my contention that is is absolutely necessary to put your time in as an assistant, and I don't just mean a year or two. A good HC will know the fundamentals of all the positions on both sides of the ball!!! He will have a knowledgeable view of the kicking game and special teams as well. If you find yourself, as a new HC, in the position of having very good assistants that's a plus! But, no matter how good they are, it the HC's JOB to make certain, in no uncertain terms, that they are coaching what he wants coached and how he want's it coached!

Good response Coach Easton...I guess all great coaches think alike...Coach Mountjoy and Coach Hicks (his good friend and my high school coach) told me when I was beginning to look for a head coaching job to be sure I could coach every position on the field...and TEACH my assistants how I wanted it done.
I agree. I am entering into my second year as a HC. This was the area that I really overlooked. I am working on the communication between myself and the assistants and making sure everyone understands what is expected of them. This is advice that is necessary for anyone interested in being a HC. It is not all about the X's and O's.
