5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding, But Don't be Misled, Aug 11 2003
By 
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.
