I think about @coachkelley1’s quote a lot when thinking about offense: “Be different or be better.” One of the best high school offenses I’ve ever seen was on a very talented team. What did they run? Inside Zone. 4 Verts. Hitches. They had more talent, kept it simple, and didn’t beat themselves. Scheme can be a great equalizer. But like ibuprofen, too much of it will kill you. Before adding more to your offense, ask yourself: Can you teach it? Can you execute it? Do your players have the skill set to run it? Be different or be better. A simple offense executed at a high level can outperform a complex offense that players can't execute consistently. Sophisticated simplicity is the world I like to live in: Present complexity to the defense while keeping execution simple for your players. Same players. Same core skills. Repped hundreds of times. Different presentations. Simple ingredients. Lots of combinations. Make the defense solve different problems without asking your players to learn a new offense every week. Be different in presentation. Be better in execution.
