The Football Coaching Podcast with Joe Daniel

How do you Coach Simple so your players can Play Fast? Triggers are the answer to your problem. Triggers are a stimulus, or event, that happens on the field that tell your player to initiate a response, or reaction. For every action on the field, there is a reaction by your player. (but this is not physics and we do not want the response to be equal!) In this episode of The Football Coaching Podcast, we'll be looking at triggers for every offensive and defensive position. Plus, how you can use triggers to simplify your teaching and get your players to react faster.

Clemson's Spread Offense uses a Hurry Up, No Huddle approach. Don't be fooled, there's nothing fancy here.. The 2013 Clemson Offense playbook is available from Chris Brown's SmartFootball.com through the link below. It's a great look at the simplicity of many modern Hurry Up, No Huddle offenses. The Clemson Offense was already introducing RPOs at that time, and showing the development of some of the more run-pass options we see today. It's an interesting look at the Spread Offense during a time of critical development. In this episode we'll be focused on the Day 1 Spring Install for the Clemson Offense in 2013.

The Miami 4-3 Defense is one of the most successful defenses of the last 30 years. Let's break down the 1996 Miami Hurricanes 4-3 Defense Playbook. The Miami 4-3 Defense is one of my favorite defensive schemes out there. In the previous episode of The Football Coaching Podcast, we talked about the foundations. In this episode, I'll dive into the 1996 Miami Hurricanes 4-3 Defense playbook. This very detailed playbook gives a look at how the defense was evolving throughout the 1990's at the college level. https://www.footballxos.com/download/miami-hurricanes-4-3-defense-1996-bill-miller/

How did the Miami 4-3 Defense come to be one of the most popular defenses in football today? Here's the background. When Jimmy Johnson installed his 4-3 Defense at the University of Miami, he built a great defense. It continues to expand and adapt with the evolution of offensive football, year after year. In this episode of The Football Coaching Podcast, we'll look back at the origins of the 4-3 Defense, before Miami. The Even 4-3 Defense and Tom Landry's Flex 4-3 Defense get examined. Then we'll break down the basic philosophy and foundations of the Miami 4-3 Defense that I teach today in our 4-3 Defense System.

Run or Pass? What should you call? Here's how to decide. When you're putting together your playbook, you've got a good idea of what you like to do. You're either a running team, or a passing offense. But how do you know what to call during the game? Should you try for balance, or take what the defense gives you? In this episode of The Football Coaching Podcast, we'll talk about when to call a run vs pass and why should make that decision!

Increase your completion percentages and get better pass protection by coaching your Quarterback to read coverages. In the Pistol Power Offense System we have a great passing system that can attack any defense. And it's simple. But it will really accelerate once your Quarterback is able to start reading coverages. This doesn't have to be a super complicated graduate level class on reading coverages. There's only a pieces he needs to be aware of before the snap. 4 to be exact. Listen to this episode of The Football Coaching Podcast to get your quarterback started on reading coverages. Don't forget download the PDF document above for the visuals from this episode.

Georgia Military College's 3-5-3 Defense is the foundation many teams have based their entire playbook around... We're breaking down Georgia Military College's 2008 Defensive Playbook. You can get the playbook from Coach Hoover's 3-5 Defense page. This is one of the best defensive playbooks we've looked at on the podcast. The description is fantastic, and useful for any defensive coach (not just 3-5-3 Defense guys!). We'll look at the GMC Playbook for the fronts, blitz packages, defensive line play, and an in depth look at the coverages.
