Hello coaches,

New to the site and I am seeking some help to formulate some new ideas I have been tinkering with. I am no stranger to the no huddle but I am looking for new ways to communicate within this system. I have used wristbands and this year we used a color and number system and no band. Each color stood for a certain series of plays and the number told what play. We required our players to learn the numbers and plays. I was wondering if there was any coaches out there who had in-sight to what Auburn and Clemson does and the whole code word things at the LOS. Also one of the teams in our region used several coaches to signal in plays and formations to different players OL Coach to the O-Line and etc... If you have knowledge of any of these I would greatly appreciate it. Feel free to e mail me what you have. My e mail address is utkd1834@yahoo.com

I think hand signals are the easiest way to go, but I also like the band to script special plays that do not have signals.

As for code words at the LOS, we use things like football team names, for example, Florida Gators would be the code word for our QB Dart play. The state is always to the right and the mascot is always to the left. We also use Oregan Ducks when we are reading the 3 tech on IZ and Cincy Bengals when we read the end on IZ.

Something else we do is what we call NASCAR. We have 5 plays, 3 run, 2 passes that we use as to try to catch the defense out of position. When we complete a big play we start yelling, "NASCAR," "NASCAR" and hold up a white board with a number on it, they get lined up and run the play.

I have been at schools with players that have a very high football IQ's and also at schools with very low football IQ's, so the best advice is do what works and keep it easy for the kids to be successful.
