Follow up on last night show (Johnston and Stadem)



This was a great show for many reasons. One of the reasons was the break down of the Spinner Series of Coach Johnston. The thing I love about this job is that everytime I speak with a coach I learned something new and a different concept on how to look at the game we call football. Coach Johnston fused the wing t, and the singlewing into a basic concept that get results. He talked about the key plays he used and how this scheme make it very easy to make adjustments during the game. It also seem like a system that you can run from youth-HS. His book "101 Little Things That Can Make a BIG Difference is also a good read. He has 101 tips on how to improve your coaching from pre season to the end of the season. Nice interview and one you really need to listen too.        

Coach Stadem interview was interesting as well. He talked about key options plays and the reads of these plays so you can add them to your scheme. He shown why it is very hard to defend him on any given sunday. He also made it known it high risk and high reward. Don't think if you install the option you will have no problems. The key is repping the option and staying committed to it. Then he talked about key skill sets per position to help you see what you need in order to run the option. He stay true to his traditional concepts of the wing t, but understood the impact this addition can be to anyone offensive attack.

Even if you don't like the Wing T you need to attend to see how these coaches think and attack every defense with this scheme that is endless. This is the All Star Line-Up for this week's show.





Coach Mcnew

Coach Elrod


Coach Elrod is the Jet/Rocket King. He run a "Hybrid" scheme within the Wing T. He was also on my show a few weeks ago and spoke at the National Wing T Clinic. His conversation with Mcnew is why this interview was driven.

This was a great show and if you missed it you need to be downloading it ASAP!!! The 1st round table was better than I thought it would be. The guest were great and they passed on some great info on this show. When you get 5 great coaching minds in one place you're bound to have some great table talk. Whatever you ever wanted to know about the Wing T it was said in that show. From how to attack any defensive front to option play in the Wing T. Blocking skills was talked about and also how to use different series w/ key points of offensive adjustments. It's safe to say that another round table will be done and it maybe sooner than later. 350 people tuned into that show and that's the best numbers I have ever gotten. This is why "The Red Zone Show" is listed number one overall for youth football radio shows.

Recap of last night show w/ Coach Birmingham


This was a great show. Coach Birmingham really went into detail about his 4-2-5 defensive scheme. The one thing I loved about his scheme is the "hybrid" phase of his scheme. His scheme allow you to flow from 4-3, 4-4, 3-4, and 3-3 stack. This is what most teams are going to because of the spread and the option. He also spoke about his blitzing schemes and his triangle read he teaches his linemen. This is a scheme that fits a team that has smaller players that are very fast. So if you have a smaller team and want a defense that fits many needs you need to check out his interview.
