What I did not know about LaVell Edwards.. Thanks to a comment from Jon E here on our blog!

We all know the greatness of LaVell Edwards and his impact on college football with his incredible success at BYU and his awesome passing attacks. Thanks to a comment from Jon E now we know the rest of the story. Coach Edwards got his start partially because of his single wing football knowledge. Here is the link..http://www.collegefootball.org/news.php?id=336
or just click the title above for the details..
Enjoy! Sorry to say Jon that I think we are talking about two different Coach Tommy Hudspeths. More Later...

Powahhhh! Football!

Great cutups of some power mixed with spread single wing. It sets up devastating play=action when mixed with the half-spin and carzy or loco option shovel. Some really nice variations shown here. Thanks to the gentleman listed who put this together apparently there is some affiliation with the Run to Daylight runningback academy. Great stuff!

This is a good article about Gus and the wildcat.

Something tells me Gus had a little bit to do with this too..

A good simple look at a "Wildcat" package.

This Looks like aTruck I've seen before!

After viewing the "I Love me Some Gus" post I had to go back and get some retro inspiration...I think it looks a little familiar to some popular power sweep plays of today. don't you think so?

I love me some GUS!!!!

Greg Wright got me started in trading football videos in 2006 with about 10 videos. We now have 600 dvds. Anyway, part of that original 10 were the Gus Malzahn set that he made when he was the head coach at Shiloh Christian High School in Arkansas. Gus is Mr. wildcat, but much more than that. He is now the OC at Auburn and a cult hero. Here is my Gus story. Greg & I have had many discussions about Gus. We were having one of these chats after a offseason workout inthe indoor facility. Former yellow jacket, Ryan Taylor, was hanging around. He was a soph at Tyler Junior College being recruited by many D1 schools. We walked out the door talking about Gus and BAM there he was. Shock, awe, reverence, whatever you want to call it, I had it. We didnt' get to talk to him that day but the seed was planted.

A NEW BEGINNING OF SORTS

This Spring is the first of my coaching years that I will not coach baseball. I made a family decision in the Fall of 2008 that I thought was best for my family. I am hurting. Baseball is the ONLY reason I am a college graduate. It has opened a lot of doors for me and the relationships that were created with coaches/players/umpires etc. are priceless. Anyway, I am a track guy now. I have not been thrilled about this but I welcome it. I am a professional educator and work-ethic has never been an issue. Here are the stats. On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the highest, I am about a 1.5 on any knowledge level about track. I have been given the hurdlers. My knowledge level about hurdlers is a 0. I look forward to this challenge and can't wait to see what impact, if any, I will have on my boys & girls this Spring.
