Wishbone is BACK!

[wishboneguru]

I am the runningbacks coach of the CC Lions semi-pro football team of the ECFA. Last season, we were 11-1 but that was NOT due to a great offense....rather, a superb defense! This season, I have finally gained some ground in trying to convince the Head Coach/ Off. Coordinator to implement an option style of play. I am very close to convincing him to go with a triple option Wishbone offense. I figure we could dominate teams with our offense assuming we have the right personnel. What I envision is a wishbone running and passing game with the added wrinkle of a Gun Option offensive set. In this set, we could either run draw plays, double or triple option plays, or even a devastating passing game. I figure, that by combining these two extreme offensive philosophies, we might just be on the cusp of a very grand offensive philosophy.

What do you guys think?

Wishbone Book

A book titled, "How to Coach the Wishbone Football Offense, According to Emory Bellard", has just been released. The book can be found at the following website optionfootball-publishing.net/collections/all

As a former assistant for Coach Bellard, I wanted to make this information available to all option Coaches. It is applicable to any option formation. His concepts have been used successfully in the Spread as well as the Flexbone.

These are the things he was doing the last four years of his active coaching. Many people don't realize he was in constant search for new ideas and ways to execute the option.

Thanks
