Coach and Coordinator Podcast Keith Grabowski

This is one I shared years ago from our archives, but I believe that it is a tool that can help everyone in your program.
By focusing on identifying the traits and abilities needed for each position on your team, as well as creating a tailored plan to help players reach their physical peak, a clear picture is created for the players and coaches, as for the parents in high school, junior high, and youth teams within your program. At the college level, it becomes a manual for recruiting and developing.
When I first created our position criteria manual, it was all on paper, which I still encourage, but now you can develop a database of video examples, development plans, and drills that can become a part of this. I will share more ideas in our winning edge takeaways and ideas for implementation at the end of this episode.

Show Notes:

What's the secret sauce to mastering the outside zone philosophy in a successful offensive system? That’s a question I took a deep dive into myself in 2003, and it changed the way I viewed putting together an offensive system.
In this segment from the beginning of his presentation at the 3rd Annual Lauren’s First and Goal Clinic, Ben Steele, the new tight end coach for the Arizona Cardinals, shares the essential thought process behind the outside zone strategy. I call it a strategy instead of a scheme because for those who truly utilize outside zone like some of the originators who made it popular, like the late Alex Gibbs, it’s not just a play, it’s the play that sets up the entire offense and how they think about it.
Coach Steel shares his wealth of experience from playing and coaching in the NFL, discussing how the scheme requires all 11 players to work together and forces the defense to cover the entire field. He also touches on the importance of getting off the line of scrimmage quickly and the individual drills that can be done every day to ensure success in this area.
Can the outside zone be part of your offense and not be the focal point? Sure it can. And the coaching points and insight shared by Coach Steele in this episode will be useful. There are plenty of takeaways from this episode. We will share our Winning Edge Takeaways and DIeas for implementation at the end of his segment.

Show Notes:

Mastering the Outside Zone Philosophy: Discussing the importance of outside zone philosophy, 11-player cooperation, quick line of scrimmage release, and individual drills.

Mastering the Outside Zone Run: Quarterback techniques, outside zone runs, and adjusting to looks are discussed.

Strategic Considerations for Attacking Linebackers: Anticipating linebackers' reactions, setting the edge, and identifying the techniques are key to maximizing the effectiveness of an outside-zone offensive system.

On today’s episode from the archives, we talk with Jason Mohns, now the tight ends coach at Arizona State. Having been able to follow him since the beginning of the Coach and Coordinator Podcast and talk to him on a yearly basis, it’s been fun to watch his growth as a coach and how he ran an elite high school program at Saguaro High School. 
In 11 seasons as head coach at Saguaro, Mohns compiled a 123-19 record, including a state record six consecutive State Championship tiles (2013-18) and seven state titles overall.
He is a prime example of doing things the right way and having opportunities come from it. In this episode, we talked about how to put in wrinkles that the opponent must take time to prepare for, but aren’t really the main focus of what you do. We discuss the role of a leadership council and how they used it to keep a pulse on their team in-season and be preemptive in problem solving, and the keys to having consistent success season after season.
This short episode is filled with insight into what makes not only a great high school program, but what makes a program great at any level.
