Outstanding Guide to Great Plays

Dee Hawkes does a great service to all coaches with this compilation of the best offensive plays in current use. He also provides a handy "play finder" section for quick reference.Plays are broken down by type (off-tackle, options, quick passes, etc.), and by formation (predominantly I formation, but with a healthy mix of single back/spread, Wing-T, veer and even wishbone). Hawkes also makes it easy to locate plays by each coach who submitted them.And what a group of coaches -- the greatest offensive minds in college and high school football for the last 20 years are represented here. Cross-referencing plays among coaches reveals insights into the differences a seemingly minor blocking variation can make in the success or failure of a play.Highly recommended.

Hey coach, you need this book!

This book is a great investment for any coach. It has diagrams of the most successful plays by the most successful coaches in the profession. Not only does the book diagram the plays, but it also provides in-depth information about each play. There are plays from almost all offensive formations, such as the I formation, Wing T, Split Backs, Wishbone, and Single Back. I would recomend this book to any football coach that is interested in expanding their offensive knowledge.

Awesome offensive playbook!

If you are looking for a comprehensive playbook this is it! It lists plays submitted from some of the best and well respected High School, College and Professional coaches in the nation. Not only does it diagram the X's and O's but also give detailed position by position responsibilities for each play against various defenses! Even if you don't implement these plays into your own offense, it is a fantastic reference book.

Accomplished its goal

This book shows just a few tidbits of genious in the coaching ranks of both high school and college football. Even if you have a concrete system of your own, this book will give you an idea about a few plays you may want to add to your arsenal.

An excellent look at offensive football plays.

I highly recommend this book for both offensive and defensive coaches. Dee Hawkes has persuaded many coaches of note to talk about the things they have always kept a closely guarded secret: the ins-and-outs of their favorite offensive plays. Detailed descriptions and diagrams accompany each play.Fans of the game will find this book interesting and educational as they seek to understand more about offensive play and techniques. At least an intermediary knowledge of football is suggested for non-coaches.
