I have coached varsity football for a few years and have found that many coaches do not seem to have a system for installing their offense or for running their offense. The wing-T isvery popular in my area and is very successful. I became interested in the option as asystem but have not been able to find schools that run it anywhere near me. I have read many books on the subject and have found the veer split back series to be very interesting. This is the 6 play series mostly run out of a twins formation. I have many questions about this system. First, is it still capapable of being successful such a simple system. What is the negatives or weaknesses of the offense? I have heard its not a catch up offense but that is not my concern. I want to understand the true negatives and positives of the series. Any answers or leads to find the answers would be very helpful.

Ready to learn the Veer!

All we really ran was veer, lead option, trap, iso and power. It was very successful but you need linemen that can block well one on one on reach blocks. What specific questions do you have. Maybe I can help.

DeLaSalle of California and Mt. Carmel of chicago are two split back veer teams that are two of the most successful high school programs in the nation. They both run the split back veer. It is an attack that can let you run the ball with mediocre personnell and be dominate with better personnel.

I have had a 5'10'' 155lbs OT's and 5'7'' 210lb Center and have had at the same time a FB and RB go over 1,000yds in a season. The Veer is one of the most effective offenses in High School. The scheme does need to be your bread & butter. The Veer can NOT be a part of the offense but THE Offense with other plays like the power, option, dive, trap and Counter accompanying it.
The only thing with this offense is that you must be patient for it to develop in the program. The offense must be installed early enough for the young QB's, who are the key to the scheme being that they are reading the offense, and REPS, REPS, REPS, is the best way to make this offense effective.

I agree. If you can get the junior high programs running your scheme you will only reap the benefits down the road.

I also agree with the assumption that if you want to run veer you cant use it as a simple supplement. The Veer needs to be practiced over and over and over again. The reads need to be sound as well as the mesh and the pitch. They need to be practiced until they can be carried out in the players sleep.

I have heard Frank Lenti who caoches Mt. Carmel speak a few times, and he has said that they have won a number of games where they had no business winning in terms of talent but his players executed and refused to quit, therefore they were successful. If you have a series of 4-6 complementary plays the veer can be an offense you can dominate with.
