How to Organize Your Passing Attack w/ Dub Maddox

The Coaching 101 Podcast

Installing and maintaining an explosive but simple passing game can be a tedious process if you’ve never done it before. For some coaches, the run game comes naturally. But, the passing concepts that we need to be successful can be a whole other story. Dub Maddox joins Kenny and Daniel to talk install, non-negotiables, and changing routes at the line.

What is a basic install?

• Compare talent to system
• Quick Game / RPO / Intermediate
• Boot / Sprint Out
• Power Pass
• Quick Game: RPO Stick/ Snag (phasing out)/
• Intermediate:
  • Does your OL let you use it?
  • Beat the Coverages you are going to see
  • Arm Talent of QB/ Skill of WR’s
• Screen Game
• 4-5 concepts in the system, use 2-3 concepts per season
