Looking for good books/DVD on coaching OL

Although there are many terrific resources available coach, many of which I'm sure will be posted here in response to your question, Coach Campbell's books and clinic DVDs are terrific resources to start with in my opinion. George DeLeone's DVD series (on one disc) is also excellent in my opinion as well. It is available from Coaches Choice. I've purchased all of the above and considered them to be among my better investments in coaching resources.

Best of luck in coaching your new position coach!

Look online for "GILMAN GEAR". Order tapes by Alex Gibbs, Joe Bugel, Jim McNally, & Larry Beightol!

I am a big fan of the Tom Herman tapes and manuals. Even if you arent a shoulder blocking guy there are drills and such that you can get from the materials.

I also like old school stuff from Buck Nystrom if you can find it.

The Delone tapes are good. I enjoy those.

Coach Kitsko - if you want the best DVD on "cutting" - get Alex Gibbs' 2007 "COOL" CLINIC lecture.

The DVD is best - but the lecture is written up in this booklet (order from Amazon.Com):

2007 Offensive Line Coaches Handbook: Featuring Lectures from the 2007 C.O.O.L. Clinic


The concept of a clinic geared specifically toward addressing the needs and interests of offensive linemen came to fruition in 1982, when a group of about 18 coaches met with Jim McNally, an assistant coach with the NFL’s Cincinnati Bengals, in the Bengals’ training facility. Among coaches at the initial meeting were Bob Wylie and Paul Alexander. The 2007 Offensive Line Coaches Handbook features presentations made by several of America’s most outstanding coaches, including Paul Alexander, Larry Beightol, Tom Bresnahan, Mitch Browning, Kyle Flood, Marty Galbraith, Alex Gibbs, Mike Munchak, and Jeff Quinn. The handbook is in large 8/12 x 11 inch format and features over 100 diagrams and illustrations.
