No Huddle

I communicate my plays like this: Let's say I want to run QB Power, which is called "16" in our playbook. I simply yell out from the sideline, "45-16". The second number is live. The formation would have been yelled in or signaled in already. CLosest receiver to my sideline is responsible for getting formation and communicating it to the other skill guys. I could easily change at halftime and say "16-38", the first number being live. If the playcall is a little more complicated, maybe with a motion, I simply would have yelled out, "Rip 16".

I see alot of staffs with lots of signals and whiteboards out there. I even see alot of decoy signal callers. To me, its just too complicated and takes too much time. I will have the play in before the kids get set on the LOS, and if i see something and want to audible, I will yell "check" and change it with my loud voice.

We are a spread offense and do some Tony Franklin stuff and he likes to fast screen right and fast screen left and wear a defense out early. While we dont screen that much, we run jet and sprint out and try to wear the defense out from sideline to sideline. We go pretty fast in practice and pretty fast in a game. Our communication works pretty well in our system.

I had a recruitng coach from Murray State (I think) in the office recently, and he was telling me they use the same exact system we use.
