Blair Hubbard had a couple of really good presentations on shotgun wing t at national wing t clinic. Also enjoyed Rich Erdelyi former OC at Carnegie Mellon is always a great presentation plus always has good jokes. He is more than willing to sit with you after his presentations and talk with you about your ideas.

Saw a prominent HC in my area this past week do a presentation on his goal line and short yardage approach.
He talked about how he runs QB sneak in short yardage situations....and then showed us clips of QB Sneaks.
Thanks dude.

Guy stole my talk - "101 Ways to Run the QB Sneak."
There's a guy who thinks he has a lot to hide.
Hope you and others let the clinic director know.

Sometimes the best plays are the simplest ones.
I could tell you a couple stories how running QB Sneak helped us beat our arch-rival that was half again bigger than us in enrollment and had twice as many players dressed two times.
And two other games that running it broke games open for us.

I chatted with a guy once who went empty on his own one. The defense walked all of the LB's out and the QB took it 99 yds.

I used to face a team who would bust 40+ on QB sneak as a matter of course. If nobody had the edge, or the end looked disinterested, or if he just felt like it, he'd bolt around the end.

I wonder how many DCs even discuss possibility of QB Sneak (not talking about Short Yardage or Goalline Wedge plays) with their players?
Here's another little tip similar to what fantom posted:
Your opponent just punted you down to inside your 1-yard line.
What do you call on 1st Down?
QB Sneak on two.
If defense goes offside you get a free five yards and "breathing room."
If they don't you get what you get without having to worry about handing off or throwing from in EZ and risking Safety - or worse.
If YOUR OL jump off - you lose all of what, six inches?
We practiced that play every Thursday along with how to Give Up Intentional Safety.

a million years ago now at my old school on consecutive plays we scored a 60 yard TD on QB sneak and a 90 yard TD on a QB sneak One of the most aggravating games of my career as a DC was vs a team whose sole mission was to keep our very explosive offense off the field. Their solution? Double tight wishbone and give the QB the green light to sneak it any time he thought he could get more than 4 yards. So. F***ING. FRUSTRATING. Oh, you put DL in both A gaps? Cool, we'll send 2 backs through the open B gap right at your undersized ILB. You blitzed your backers through B gaps? We'll run off-tackle and wash them down. You shifted your front to deal with unbalanced, double tight wishbone? QB Sneak. Nevermind that their offense for the entire season was nothing but 21 personnel split back and they just decided to be full house bone for funsies. I'm still salty and frustrated and that was 7 years ago.

Nevermind that their offense for the entire season was nothing but 21 personnel split back and they just decided to be full house bone for funsies. I'm still salty and frustrated and that was 7 years ago. I still remember the game i referenced above. It was the upset of the year in our league and section. We were in last place in league at the time and they were in 1st. They threw it a lot and were scoring 40 a game (this was before everyone was spread and tempo) one of our assistants had been their DC the previous year, the HC made him run the HC's defense so he knew all of their "rules" like the back of his hand. If we came out in 1 back, they automatically ran a defense with both DTs in 3 techs their only change up was to put the DTs in both A gaps. First drive we run QB sneak, knowing we will get 3 techs... Center to Mike, QB was a fast athlete and he just sprinted 60 yards straight ahead and no one ever got near him. Next drive we take over on our own 10, say screw it, lets do it again... they went to their double 1 techs. Middle was stuffed, they all sucked in, QB backed up and ran around the edge and was gone for 90 down the sideline

Best of Nashville Glaziers was coach Tuke from SE MO. Great defensive talks and also a very good program building session. Worst was Greg Brown from Auburn, showed an hour of 1 vs 1 practice film.

I'm currently at the Vegas Glazier clinic. Most guys didn't stick around for the evening session last night and I'm assuming an even lower turnout tonight. The level of pictures being taken during talks is kind of word to me too.

At the New England Glazier Rich Erdelyi, the former OC for Carnegie Mellon was excellent. St. Joseph Prep's HC Gabe Infante was very good also.

I have a standing complaint that every presenter has an overly ambitious topic, gets behind, and blows through the last third of his talk.
And I feel like all 425 guys just assume you were born in their system, molded by their terminology.

Zach Azzanni is the WR coach at Tennessee. Heard him yesterday. He is legit. Yeah he has studs, but he talked about techniques for getting open that are applicable to anybody.
His stuff for getting off of press man was awesome, and can translate to any level.
He also had some great stuff on motivating prima donnas that exist at all levels.
The other side were the RPO talks that all started with the bubble that everybody throws. University of Ohio WR coach and University of Wisconsin Platteville HC both gave good RPO talks. Even the Ohio coach was scribbling notes and asking questions in the Platteville session.

Bobby Acosta was good. Phil Longo is good. Taylor Mazzone did a decent job but without the flare of his pops.
Pat Fox is interesting. He spent 20 minutes talking about how he wasn't going to short change us with his talk because no one short changed him and people are driving all over the country to get to a Glazier clinic. He's also one of those guys who walks around throughout his talk and will look each coach in the eye for at least 10-20 seconds while he's talking.

Just got back from the Vegas Nike COY Clinic. I only got a 2 hours of sleep the night before but Coach Orgeron made it impossible to even dose off. Enthusiastic, Funny, Inspirational, are some words to describe him. Blended in Technique, Drills, and culture beautifully. Even with a projector that constantly shut off and on, he made it work.

Greg Brown was terrible in KC. I was really disappointed because I had seen him years ago right after he left Colorado? and he was really good then.

Question: "When you run your 300's, what do you do if they horn their Dog?" Answer: "We just run our 600's instead." Crowd says a collective "Ooooohhh" and starts scribbling madly.

I went to Indy Glazier and I Jed Kennedy was very good talking about the Single Wing and Tim Murphy was great as always.

Listened to a HC from a big high school talk about his offensive "philosophy", which was more or less that he had 8 very fast, very big wide receivers he could run on go routes. So their offense was a spread with everybody running deep. QB was taught to throw it as far as he could in the direction of the guy with 1 on 1 coverage. After each play 4 receivers would run off the field and 4 new ones would come on...was fun to watch for a minute or two until you realized that was all he was going to show; don't get much of that in the cornfields of Indiana LOL

Minneapolis Glazier
Josh Hood (Park Hill HS, MO) and his assistant Coach Buford were great talking their Pistol offense, RPOs, and Special Teams. Some innovative ideas going around down there. They were also very approachable and waited around to answer more questions and watch more film with anybody who wanted to.
Joe Tripodi (Northern Illinois) had some good stuff on Power/Jet Read and RPOs. Very slight with the explanation of the plays at first, but watched a ton of film and gave you the ins and outs as he showed tape. Definitely got a good sense of their offensive philosophy, various tags, and how everything fit together.

So I listened to Bobby Acosta talk about receiver play. He showed us some drills and gave his teaching techniques for get offs, route running and catching the ball. It was pretty good. He had us all write down our email addresses and said that he would send us everything (powerpoint, video, drills) including the stuff he didn't really get to cover in a 3 hour time frame.
I thought to myself, "wow this is really cool of the guy. He's going to email all of us everything he has. Never seen something like that before but hey, I'm not going to complain." When I got home I had an email, not from Acosta, but from Championship Systems to purchase "The X-Factor," system for receiver play. We would have to purchase the system to get all the content. Acosta never shared that with us at the clinic.
I didn't think it was cool to deceive us like that and I didn't like the email from "The X-Factor" who just wants my money. Besides, there's no way I can go to the X-Factor because that will break the contract I've already made with FACEMELTER!

We had a group of guys at a clinic in Hartford that sat around a table talking ball for couple hours. It reminded me of the old days at Glazier Clinic in Baltimore when they used to host it at the Sheraton near the airport. There was some darn good ball being talked and we expanded on the clinic sessions. I took several pages of notes. The best speake I saw this year was Joe Casamento from St. Johns College High School in Baltimore. James Franklin was also very, very good. Dick Arbuckle did a very good job in Seattle. The best part about clinics is the information that gets shared outside the sessions. I had the opportunity to meet some Coach Huey members at a few clinic this year which was very cool. There are some stud coaches on this board.

Detroit Glazier last weekend - to be clear I really enjoyed it and the speaker's did a good job, I know it might seem like I hated them but this is just the feedback I've got.
1. Toledo ST had a great start, awesome KO stuff. Stayed good throughout, although could have spent more time on his scout reports or cut them entirely, they were rushed.
2. Detroit Lions tackling was a quick one-hour. Can't say I agreed with everything he said, but he had basically 7 points and 5 were good. His presentation was right on time and well rehearsed, almost as if he were a professional.
3. Hamilton Tiger-Cats DBs was a last second fill-in. Talked about their press stuff. It was good but I was mostly disappointed that he adapted it for an American audience. In the second hour his anti-RPO stuff was pretty bad, considering. His practice was pretty good and avoided a lot of the usual clinic talk pitfalls. Good use of practice and game film.
4. Stanford DC was good. Got a little overexcited with his blitzes and didn't go into the depth he should have. I got a chuckle hearing that they blitz a lot with 4 up 2 down coverage. Solid handouts. His last hour unfortunately would have made a great DVD because he went through what felt like 200 drills. Couldn't possibly keep up. He did a really good job of relating drills and practice to game film.
5. Pittsburg state DC started off awesome with his 425, really taking us thorough their fronts and terminology, covering the structure of their defence. His RPO defence stuff was not very good. I think (and it wasn't just him this weekend) he missed the fundamental reason RPOs work. A lot of the solutions he had were kludges. Unfortunately this dominated the second half of his talk and we didn't get to talk much about regular match coverages.
6. Concord HS was good stuff on spread power. This is a very rare thing but he actually went a little overboard on showing game footage of the plays he was discussing. Kept it to three concepts. Didn't love his blocking rules but it seemed to work.
Generally the common problem was trying to do too much. Four of six guys did that and by the end it's a sprint to the finish. I guess my suggestion is to rehearse and get the length right, accounting for questions and delays. And prioritize! It kills the flow to see you skip 15 slides.

I nailed it at a Grand Rapids this weekend.
1. Mike Uremovich, NIU offense. Awesome. Kept his topics really limited and focused. Organized, detail oriented, prepared. I'd buy on his stock.
2. Harmon Barnett, MSU defence. Very good, not nearly as good as last year. Got a little tied up being cute I think, and this was a much bigger crowd than last year.
3. Grand valley state DC. Very good. Not sure if it's intentional or not but made it clear that RPO defense isn't about playing man, it's about not giving a guy conflicting jobs. Went a little nutty in the last hour showing too many blitzes but that's all DCs.
4. Steve Szabo. Good. A bit reductive in his assessment of quarters. Made a few too many grand pronouncements. But if you follow his train of thought he explains it magnificently.
5. Tim Lester, WMU but really Purdue/Syracuse offense. Awesome. Very clear explanation of what he's doing and how.
Really I couldn't have done better.
