GENERAL NOTES
• We are going to SPREAD you then BEAT you. Just because we are
a “spread team: doesn’t mean we are soft. Being physical on the
offensive line translates to the defense, which means more physical
and productive practices
• Finesse means losing.
• Schemes are beautiful, MATCH-UPS WIN
• We use a DPMO formula for WRs…Don’t Piss Me Off.
• We “FISH”, when we throw the football…CATCH and RELEASE.
• We don’t have a lot of Pass concepts because of the time devoted
to our run game.
Shotgun Zone Read Play Action Passing Game
1. Utilize on run downs. The run fake should model you most
successful run
2. Turn your lineman loose and don’t worry about them being down
field. We teach to the QB to release the ball quickly.
3. Your pass concept concepts should include a CROSSING concept
and a VERTICAL concept.
4. This portion of the offense has great “home run” potential
Shotgun Zone Read Play Action Passing Game
FOUR VERTICALS
Versus Cover 3 or 1 high safety
• Isolate the safety with the 2 inside WRs
• Throw opposite of the Free Safety’s hips OR hold the him to one side
Versus Cover 2/4 or 2 high safeties…BENDER RULES
• In 2x2 formation the bender should be “John”
(aka the WR with the best hands)
• Never bend the TE
• In 3x1 formation, the bender should be #2 WR
• You may build in a bail out with outside WRs…FADE SIT route

BOOT
QB roll out depth should be 6-8 yards, When we deepen the roll, we had less
problems with the edge pressure.
ROUTE RULES (simple from playside to backside)
#1 has a TAKE OFF…clear out the coverage
#2 has FLATS…if #2 is a WR then runs a WHIP. If he is a TE then he runs an
ARROW.
#3 has a CROSS
#4 has a SKINNY POST

Shotgun Zone Gap Run Game
DART
The puller has one simple assignment. “HIM” block.
The “HIM” is the Middle LB. This eliminates confusion which can lead to a
missed assignment.
• No “What if he does ______?” because the answer is block “HIM”
• We want to direct the Dart at a “B” Gap Bubble whenever it is possible.
Coaching Points:
#1 Stay on combination block as long as possible. The counter fake will slow down the backside backer.
#2 Use “Pop” step on the play side. Pick up spark games.
#3 Plays side tackle - Collect the tackle if crosses your face and gap block. Collect “B” gap blitz if he is at heals depth.
#4 Backside tackle must eye the tail of the tackle. If you see it - Isolate the LB. If turns away prepare to trap.
Teach the Dart Scheme - In Three Parts
• Front side Tackle
• Combo Block
• Area and Pull
Program Development
• You outcoach people through the year, not just Friday nights.
• Warren Central has a great relationship with the Marines, “Semper Fi” means Always Faithful.
• The biggest mistake a new head coach can make is not respecting tradition at the school. If there
is not a tradition, find one by looking at the school’s history.
• Coach Hart uses the Urban Meyer’s philosophy about celebrating and rewarding great behavior.
When you separate great behavior, the players have individual incentives that add up as a team.
This can motivate individuals without totally isolating them.
• The biggest difference you can make is in the middle school programs.
• Parent meetings
When the meeting is about playing time…the players should be present.
When the meeting is about behavior, then only the parent should be present.
• Coach Hart handed out a great packet. Contact info [email protected] 317-869-4679
USF Vertical Passing Game
Objectives and thoughts
1. We use it to create BIG PLAYS
2. It makes the defense honor the deep pass, which loosens the defense.
3. Run the concept on FIRST and SECOND down NOT THIRD down!
4. Why switch the boundary WRs?
This makes it easier to avoid underneath traffic

5/6 Man Pass Protections
TECHNIQUES
1. Win one on one reps with the set up point. By choosing the path you will take to set up and engage
the defender on their path to the quarterback. I stress that set up point is the most important aspect
of winning one on one reps. For instance, if a defender is in a wide alignment we can set vertical
(straight back) or kick sink (45 degree angle) depending on which set we think will give us the best
chance to win the rep. Tight alignments we use vertical, kick sink, or power (gain no depth with our
set).
2. Protect inside first. 70% weight inside.
3. Build the “wall of fat”. Stay square and keep hips square.
4. OL should be HIP to HIP when passing defenders.
5. Punch and Defend your QB with aggression.
TWO BASIC TYPES: Vertical Set and Power Set
PROTECTION SCHEME
1. Teach your Scheme once. Make sure you have a scheme and rule system that you believe in. Install
this system on day one and stick with it. I do not believe in adjusting protection rules on a weekly or
daily basis to try and counter a defenses blitzes.
2. Choose what you want to be good at, then practice it every day. I believe in spending more time on
technique and less time on trying to pick up every possible scenario they could throw at you.
3. Study and read your opponent, but prepare your players to be great at what they must do to have
success. Teach them which situations to use them in: Speed Rusher – Vertical, Bull Rusher – Power,
Kick Sink, Twist Scheme – Vertical, etc.
• Frontside Tackle – man on man the EMOL
• Frontside Guard – READ ILB
• He drops, then DOUBLE the NOSE
• He goes out then pass to FS Tackle, you take the END
• He walks up, then you block him
• Center – man on the nose then to A GAP
• Backside Guard- If the ILB drops be aware of OLB (#4) playing games
• Backside Tackle-man on EMOL, then look outside.
• RB-check OLB (#4) He can dual read to either side

BE AWARE of WHO you DON’T have in pass protection responsibility
Attacking Defenses in the Red Zone
General Notes
• You get what you emphasize.
• QB should a 2 ball instead of a 3 ball.
• They only run MESH in the endzone.
• They love to run EMPTY formations, clears up the “picture.”
THURSDAY PRACTICE
• QB sneak from under center
• Hail Mary
• Victory (take a knee) Formation
• 2 point plays
*practice the same ones…UNTIL it is run in a game

Winning on 3rd down
General Notes
Setting it up on 2nd down
Practice idea for 7 on 7
• “PLAY IT”
• The offense starts with a 2nd and 10
• Play is called…result is marked.
• 3rd down and ? (remaining yardage)
Great on backside
SPEED DIG: break at 7-8 yards
PIVOT
*take it toward
defender…
BUT NOT TOO CLOSE
#1 WR (field side) FADE. If you can’t beat the CB then settle at 15 yards.
#2 WR (field side) ADJUSTER. Settle underneath ZONE coverage. Run from MAN coverage.
#2 WR (boundary side) ADJUSTER. Settle underneath ZONE coverage. Run from MAN coverage to OUTSIDE only
#1 WR (boundary side) FADE. If you can’t beat the CB then settle at 15 yards.
QB: Vs Cover 2/4 look for adjuster route
RUN PAST the STICKS!
OUTSIDE
ONLY
#1 WR (field side) FADE. If you can’t beat the CB then settle at 15 yards.
#2 WR (field side) ADJUSTER. Settle underneath ZONE coverage. Run from MAN coverage.
#2 WR (boundary side) ADJUSTER. Settle underneath ZONE coverage. Run from MAN coverage to OUTSIDE only
#1 WR (boundary side) FADE. If you can’t beat the CB then settle at 15 yards.
RB: 5 yard hitch
EMPTY: this helps to free up ADJUSTER and may get a
LB covering him!
UP TEMPO and putting pressure on the defense
General Notes
Attack the opponent with extreme pace in a no huddle format
Force the opponent to defend multiple personnel groups and formations
Defense must react to personnel and formational changes while the ball is being snapped
quickly.
Use a practice play list. Put plays on the QB’s wristband.
When creating the Practice Play List
• Use to break previous week’s tendencies
• Focus on US not the defense of the week
• Add new formations before adding new plays
• Add simple plays only late in the practice week

General Notes
• Don’t over coach the RBs once they get to the Line of Scrimmage
• Why Pistol? • Ball quicker to RB.
• .35 average time to QB, under center .75(4yd) • QB quicker to Depth of Pocket
• .95 average time pistol +3, under center 1.35(+5)
Conclusion: We gain almost ½ second from being under center!!!
INSIDE ZONE
“COMBO”
Frontside needs to be more LATERAL
Backside needs to be more VERTICAL
OUTSIDE ZONE
“SLIP”
Frontside needs to be more VERTICAL
Backside needs to be more LATERAL
QB PLAY/READS
General Notes
Train the QBs eyes, peripheral vision, scanning
Throwing
• Never overthrow a slant route
• Don’t hitch step on quick throws instead “HANG” or pause. The exception would be Quick Fade
• Be decisive on goalline throws
Theory
• Why does the Hitch get picked off? Because you haven’t run Hitch and GO!!
• Get it on game film, so the defense is aware of it!
• On 3rd and 4…run Hitch and GO, Slant and GO, you can always go for it on 4th and 4!
