One of the more forgotten run schemes out here. DART!. Dart is a great run play especially if you need another 10P run. I plan on doing a video on Dart this off-season!!. Do you run Dart?

Coach Tatum what’s your favorite run play?.“GT Counter w/ Bash Read!”. #TrenchMob #YoungBallCoach #Hogfbchat

Are you even a Coach if you don’t consistently wear your teams gear and have your wife or significant other roll their eyes when you go to put it on 😂😂😂.

Refs & state associations, can you please stop worrying about our players knees being covered up or shirts being tucked in… it’s so tiring, no other level of football care and that’s why our kids do it!!!.

Power… Gods play!.But sometimes defenses will send that W through the B-Gap. Our Guard will make a “Solid” call, this communicates that the pull is off and now we’re gonna dbl to the PSLB and BSLB. Essentially running DUO. This is easy since we already run DUO anyway!

That is how you play 11 hats to the football on defense. My goodness.

Are you even a Coach if your players don’t impersonate you and mock your sayings??.

Okay Offensive Coaches it’s our turn, don’t let the Defensive Coaches out do us!!. What is your terminology?.Formations.Motions.Runs.Passes.Screens.Protections.RPO and other Tags!!.

What’s your biggest pet peeve as a Coach?. Mine is when coaches just write a kid off and say, “this kid sucks, or they’re lazy, or he can’t play.” 🙄.How about you do your job… & COACH them!!!.

10P Power.If your best personnel is 10 but you want to run Power, I got you!.Gonna need a QB you’re willing to run!

Trap & Wham vs Odd. So I don’t have my OL Card taken….Even though I love blocking odd defenses anyway….@CODY_GARDNER 🖤🤣

Terminology is one of my favorite parts of football. Offensively for the most part coaches call things similar. Defensive Coaches let’s talk terminology and what do you call front, blitzes, and coverages in your system??.DM is need be or shy.

11P Inside Zone vs Multiple Fronts. Link to my IZ video is below ⬇️ . I’ve always been more of a Gap Scheme guy but sometimes you just need a touch of IZ in your life!

We need to normalize coaches diagramming plays on paper, whiteboard, or on apps more!. Don’t be scared to do it because someone might openly criticized it and say “that won’t work”. Screw the naysayers, just draw up and send me your favorite plays, I don’t criticize!.
28

21P DUO vs Multiple Fronts. (Duo is not IZ 😎). Link to my DUO video is below the post ⬇️ . I love 21P and I think DUO is a beast when it is ran from bigger personnels!.READ the Safety if he’s an issue. The mesh on Duo can be slower to allow time for the 3rd lvl RPO

HS athletes SHOULD play multiple sports!.I might get some hate, but I fully believe in it, it’s a hill I am willing to die on. I know many of you agree with me!.

Idk who needs to hear this but you better develop your JV kids as well. They’re the future of your program!.You cannot just be “a Varsity coach”. If you’re at a huge school that has a JV staff then develop your JV coach that also coaches your position.

Split Back Triple on 4 popular run schemes!. Depending on your personnel you can do this to either side without flipping the backs!. But if you have a dive style & pitch style back this is great too!

Coaches, how about a little diagram exercise for Friday?!. Offensive Coaches:.What are your favorite motions, plays, & tags from this 12P formation?. Defensive Coaches:.How are you aligning to it in your base rules & think this is a run first offense.

Okay OL Coaches!. What are we calling our Combo calls??. Do you have different calls for Gap vs Zone or are they the same?. Do you specify or have different calls for playside doubles vs backside doubles???.

Formations are cheap.Plays are expensive.Keep it simple.

Coaching Paradoxes:.Offensive Coaches believe that a 3-4 yard gain is a win. Defensive Coaches think limiting a team to a 3-4 yard gain is a win.

My defensive coaches, how are y’all lining up?.I prefer diagrams. (Words don’t defend 😉)

11P Power Read vs 3-4. Man we used to run so much.Power Read back in the day! (3-4 years ago 😂). Is Power Read in your offense?. *Defense is from old looks we used to get!*
16
10
303
20P 2x2 GT Counter vs Multiple Fronts. Link to my Counter video is below the post ⬇️ . Also I completely recognize that GH CTR as well as 3x1 20P is better to some of these looks but for the purpose of the drill I am keeping the formation the same!
8
19
289
I love formations, but here are some of my favorites!. I know they’re a bit all over the place, but with their base & tags we could get pretty multiple!. #12DaysFB.#TXHSFBCHAT
Tweet your FOUR Favorite Formations!. Be sure to include #12DaysFB & #TXHSFBCHAT in your tweet. One lucky coach will be chosen to win a Formations Course from @CoachKGrabowski!

286
Nub Formations.Man, I love Nub sets, I would/could create a whole offensive series/package from these formations. I only fit 8 on the screen but you can be so multiple from this base alignment!.(The Back(s) align for the play's success!) . @CoachMMJohnson can I get a witness?
13
20
285
Power is Gods play, but Power Read & Power Toss Read are 2 fantastic variations to carry into the game to take advantage of defenses!. In today’s video we diagram and watch film of my teams running these 2 plays!. Link ⬇️

I’m seeing a lot of comments say, “it doesn’t have to be this difficult” uhhh yeah it does, this is the NFL level bud, IT’S PRO BALL!.As HS coaches, no it doesn’t have to be this hard but at that level it’s a whole different animal!.
Dan focuses on the macro of NFL playbooks. check out the micro as I breakdown 1 of the 700 plays from Sean Payton's offense. Gun King Bunch Rt Jab 15 Stutter F KILL 84 Z Cowboy Y Shallow Cross

Coaches!.What is your philosophy?.(Zone guys know lol).Power to the 3, Counter to the shade?.Or are you with me, I’ll call it to either side, doesn’t matter to me, defense does what they want!. I’ve seen some coaches that are adamant about ONLY calling runs to certain techniques.
46

133
An interesting question is:.Am I a good coach?. You can be from 15-0 to 0-10.No matter the W/Ls or stats, are your current & former players sending you texts each holiday, asking for letters of recommendation, sending invitations to weddings??.That’s what makes you a good coach.

The detached 2pt conversion formations have always been an interesting part of the game. Some call it: Muddle Huddle, Water Bucket, Swinging Gate, etc. 1. What do you guys call it?.2. Do you run it?.3. What ways do you line up in it Offensively or to it Defensively?

Yesterday in 1st period we had 5 mins left. My 6th graders asked, “Coach Tatum, can you teach us a football play!”.I got on the whiteboard & said, “Guys, this is called Power, aka Gods Play!”.They all said “OOOOOOOOHHH!!!!”.*or at least they did in my head 😅*.

Coaches, let’s start a thread. How do you work with difficult players?.What are your procedures for working with them?.I don’t wanna hear, “kick them off the team” because we’re supposed to be mentoring these young men too.

Are there any Coaches out there that only run plays to certain sides?.I know back in the day some coaches would only go Power to the TE and Counter away. Power RT.Counter LT.I prefer to run my plays either way, but I think it’s interesting!

I want to clarify something about my YT videos. I am no guru, I am no expert, I am just a HS coach who loves talking ball, I think that’s okay! .Yes, coaches should be able to draw up plays, but I just happen to do it on a video. Plus 115+ coaches seem to like it too!.#TatumTalk.

1. QB GT CTR w/ our “Heavy” tag. 2. GT Pass Pro, fake “Heavy” H-Cross. “Heavy” tag we use with 3 LBs. The dbl goes to -1, the TE (Heavy) goes to the point, and the pull goes to +1. We decided to build on it and run H-cross (H is too deep, should have had the X run a CB or Hitch)

OL Coaches!.You get 5 INDY drills for the rest of your life??.The thing that makes us the best coaches is being efficient with TIME!. For me:.1. Dbls for “on & off” LBs.2. Reach the Reacher.3. Down & Pull (Trap & Skip) Drill.4. Individual Hands 1v1 .5. Half or Full Line walk &.
7
3
109
Woke up & chose violence:.Why do some coaches ONLY keep to their group?.OL coach doesn’t care to know the DBs names, LB coach doesn’t care to know WRs names, etc!.If we’re called to coach then we are mentors of young men first. Screw the technique & scheme, develop relationships.
