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.
We ran the ISV and OSV out of the bone(no huddle for our hurry up). Called the plays in "packages" of 2. If we didn't get the first down on the first play(according to yds. to go) we came right back with a pre-called run or pass. The QB made the choice(check with me) and audibled at the LOS. Worked great for us.

We use the nod huddle qute a bit during the second and third quarters when we needed to change the tempo or when we sinced the opposition was about to break due to conditioning. It based up defenses and it kept teams from stemming. They defense really does come under quite a bit of anxiety and will play very tight. We were not fast break no huddle. It was a definite bonus for our team. We stayed in base personnel but got into multiple sets with the nod huddle that forced teams to play the run and pass. if your kids are football smart and do not panic themselves, it can be a great toool. However I do not think you can have many two-way players because conditioning does come into play.
Coach, We are an option team the runs the NO-Huddle on every play, it has been simple for the kids to pick up and gives them something unique to believe in. Most of our players are two way players, we have found that we get in much better with the no huddle and wear teams down by keeping the tempo up.
Now, thats the way to play Football! Get them in great shape, and then run the opponent into the ground by sheer determination not to let any team you face be in better shape than your are! I once took a team on the road, at our level, with 28 players. Our opponents had 53 , the legal limit, on the sidelines. We ran them into the ground!!! We won 28-14 and when the game was over, they came to us and said; When we looked over in pre-game and saw you had only 28 players, we said to ourselves that you will be done halfway through the 2nd quarter! But, instead you just kept getting stronger and stronger, how do you do it? One of my guys said; we have a coach who runs us 5 days a week! It just so happened the fellow making the remark was one of my biggest complainers every night about having to run so much. He came up to me afterward and said; Thanks Coach, you won't hear anymore out of me, and I didn't. The no huddle, fast paced offense is the way to go, imo. I run a spread, but you can run a single wing out of the no huddle if you know what your doing! ISV,OSV, whatever, go for it!!!

Coaches I would like to get some information on your no huddle option offense. I am wanting to install it, but i am having some problems figuring out how to communicate the formation and plays from the sideline.
I watched a nohuddle option team acouple weeks ago. they run the double slot like geo southern does. they have 74 rushing attempts for 400+ and about 8 passes. oh, they went two min tempo the who game.
I noticed this weeks box score they played a much bigger school then they are, they lost but they still had 67 total plays (55 rushes for 300yds). so far in 2 games the qb/fb combo are averaging nearly 50 attempt pergame between them.
we are a no huddle passing team and we are in the high 40's low 50's for pass attempted and we get about 25 running plays.
our goal is 84 pass attempts(high school record) we came close with 74 on time.
offensiveconfusion, We ran a no huddle opt. for a couple of series last week and it ended up breaking the game wide open. We were more conditioned than the other team, and were just taking what they gave us.. The way I installed it was by using coach Campbell's opt. on me technique. I kept them in the I when we did it but I suppose you could signal in different formations. The key is having your qb understand what is a good play and what isn't vs. a particular defense. I was real easy for my kid , since their defense was just a base 44 and we ran midline about 7 times in a row.
How is it going so far for your squad? Are you sticking with the ISV as you originally planned? Let me know how things are going, if you can find a spare moment.

We won our first game 31-28. Capped a 17 point fourth quarter with a game winning FG with 10 seconds left. We ran 40% midline and about 30% ISV. Had 400 yards rushing and average 8 yards a carry. We ran option on me but did not go no huddle. We are saving that for our arch rival.

The other tied in with option on me is the two and one back gun which is an easy and understandable method for kids to learn and execute. Coach CAmpbell
I used to coach at Southern Utah Univ where we ran the spread option. We used a no huddle system that worked great and was easy for the kids to pick up. First every kid had a wristband, from OL, to WR. On the wristband was a list of plays that we used for the week. We would signal the play number in from the sideline. Then the QB would call out 3 numbers, First was a dummy number, 2nd number was the play, 3rd number was the direction (odd left, even to right). We were usually able to get the formation and play in under 10 seconds. If we were consistently calling triple (inside veer) the QB would call any old 3 numbers regardless if it was odd or even we were running it to the field.
