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.
