I have been in this offense since 1982. Here are some "guiidelines" for anyone interested. Cut & Pasted from our notebook:
I. 4 "MUST DO'S" OF THE ONEBACK OFFENSE
#1 = DO RUN AS OFTEN TO THE SPLIT END SIDE AS THE TIGHT END SIDE.
#2 = DO RUN & PASS AS OFTEN AWAY FROM MOTION AS YOU DO TO THE MOTION SIDE.
#3 = DO PASS AS OFTEN AWAY FROM THE SIDE THE RB "CHECKS" AS YOU DO TO THE SIDE HE "CHECKS".
#4 = DO RUN AS OFTEN AWAY FROM SIDE RB TAKES HIS FIRST STEP TO (ON POWER/COUNTER/H-AROUND) ETC., AS YOU DO TO THE SIDE OF HIS FIRST STEP.

II. OFFENSIVE OUTLINE: CORYELL/GIBBS OFFENSE:
1. Why a Oneback Offense (Balance, etc.); 4 MUSTS OF THE ONEBACK OFFENSE
2. Personnel Requirements
3. Personnel Groupings (2 TE/2 WR/1 RB; 1 TE/3 WR/1 RB)
4. Formations (2x2; 3x1)
5. O-Line off the ball (helmets on Center's belt)
6. O-Line Splits = 18"
7. WR Splits = NINO
8. Cadence = factor
9. Shifts?
10. Motion (& Defensive Reactions)
11. Technique Check-List
12. 6 Basic Runs
13. 3 Play Actions
14. 3/3 Step DBP (& Tags)
15. 5/5 Step DBP (& Tags)
16. Look Pass/Bubble Screen
17. Draw
18. Screen(s)
19. Philosophy vs. Blitz
20. Game Planning (Red/White; Coverages; etc.
***************************************************************************
III. CORYELL/GIBBS OFFENSIVE INSTALLATION:
First day of practice introduce: #1: Zone blocking (because we want to teach the base numbering system of defenders right away), &, #2: Three & Five step drop back pass pro.
Second day introduce: #3: Counter/Power blocking.
Third day begin repping all 3 blocking schemes every practice (add Counter Pass). It is just THAT SIMPLE.
QB & Receiver coaches introduce key three step drop routes day one (Hitch, Fade, Slant), & key five step drop routes day two (Curl, Out, Post). Begin teaching the WR's blocks on Day 1.
Backfield coach starts teaching Zone RB steps & reads day one (& Pass Pro check/release). He teaches Counter/Power RB steps & reads day two.
H/Y must spend time with BOTH the O-Line, & QB/Receivers Coaches.
THEN - you only have to add Truck-Toss, H-Around Reverse, when you get to it.

JOE GIBBS OFFENSIVE THEORY (1983)
The easiest approach — and the logical one — is to think of the set-up as you would the "I". But, now you have the "I" fullback up near the L.O.S. on either side, and he is called the "H" back.
"DOUBLE"
X--------------------O-O-C-O-O-Y
------------------H--------Q---------------------------Z
----------------------------R
"TRIPS"
X--------------------O-O-C-O-O-Y
----------------------------Q------------H--------------Z
----------------------------R
Much of your motion comes from moving your "H" from one side to the other. The movement creates problems for the defense in that they must determine how to support the corner of the defense and at the same time account for coverage on each receiver.
By being close to the L.O.S., the "H" back has a higher percentage block than your ordinary "I" fullback would have. At the same time, the "H" position allows a quicker release if he is to be a receiver. Of course, he is not the running threat that your "I" fullback would present, but most "I" teams do not run the fullback as a feature anyway. In addition, you do not have the versatility (of having strength to either side on the snap) that you have in the "I". However, the position close to the L.O.S. does compensate for all of this by being a more effective blocker and receiver as a "H" back (and forces the defense to protect an extra gap). And with the created defensive problems (with movement) as an "H", it more than compensates for the reduced element of surprise. We use our "Counter-Gap" play to keep the defense honest and not over-compensate for the position of the "H" back. A very effective play.
