Product Description
From the Author
After having coached college football for 18 years, I have learned that football is an ever changing game. Coaches are always searching for something that may give them an edge for the upcoming season. This book on the spread offense is intended to help lay the foundation for those coaches wanting to employ this offense or give a coaching staff who is already running it some valuable information. It is my hope that, as you read this book, you gain an edge!

Outstanding, But Don't be Misled,
By Edmond E. Seay III (Brussels, Belgium) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Coaching Footbl Spread Offense (Paperback)
First off, this is an excellent book on an exciting modern offense.Secondly, the title is very misleading. It should be "Coaching Football's Spread OPTION Offense". This is not the 4- or 5-wide shotgun spread in use at schools like Purdue, Clemson or West Virginia. Rather, it is the triple option run from a spread (run-and-shoot) formation with two wide receivers and two slotbacks, with a single back behind the quarterback. This book is full of invaluable insights from Coach Stowers's days at Georgia Southern University, where the Spread Option attack has won six Division I-AA championships. He breaks down the running attack, based on the triple option but with a small and powerful supplement, and includes his sprint-out passing attack and some play action passes as well. In my opinion, it would be possible to install an effective Spread Option attack from Coach Stowers's book alone. Highly recommended.

Outstanding, But Don't be Misled,
By Edmond E. Seay III - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Coaching Footbl Spread Offense (Paperback)
First off, this is an excellent book on an exciting modern offense.
Secondly, the title is very misleading. It should be "Coaching Football's Flexbone Offense". This is not the 4- or 5-wide shotgun Spread in use at schools like Purdue, Clemson or West Virginia, nor is it the Spread Option-from-the-shotgun that Florida and others have popularized. Rather, it is the triple option run from a Flexbone/Run-and-Shoot formation with two wide receivers and two slotbacks, with a single back behind the quarterback, who is under center. This book is full of invaluable insights from Coach Stowers's days at Georgia Southern University, where the Flexbone attack won six Division I-AA championships. He breaks down the running attack, based on the triple option but with a small and powerful supplement, and includes his sprint-out passing attack and some play action passes as well. In my opinion, it would be possible to install an effective Flexbone triple option attack from Coach Stowers's book alone. Highly recommended. 4 of 34 people found the following review helpful:
