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.
As everyone knows, the majority of the NCAA college football teams use a spread offense or a variation of the spread offense. Only a few teams actually run the west-coast(NFL) offense. My question is why is this so?
In my opinion it is because of the speed and complexity of NFL defenses. Spread offenses are designed to attack slower teams and weaker players on those teams. In the NFL, nobody is slow on defense and they react incredibly fast, which makes it very difficult to run the spread. Another issue is the spread is based around a very simple, quick passing attack with easy reads where as NFL defenses are very complex by nature, and due to the complexity, causes simple passing games to fail. Once again, this is just my opinion.

Games are won during the season, Championships are won in the off-season.
College teams have only a few years with their players. They only have so much time per week that they can meet with them and teach them systems. It is easier in college to have a system in place that is easy to learn, and able to to plug bodies in as needed. NFL systems appear to be simple, but they are very complex and require countless amounts of individual and group adjustments and endless reads by the players...takes time to learn. College teams don't have that time. Despite what they may say/think, successful college coaches need to be at least as good at recruiting as coaching, probably better. They rely on having better athletes. NFL teams have roughly equal athletes top to bottom, they need to rely on ability to outsmart the other team.

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