Something that says, “We Were Here And We KicKed Butt!” These “marks” are measured by records, signature wins, team milestones, playoff wins and titles.

    O-D SPECIAL TEAMS COACHES MANUAL 2015 Stacking System The Stacking System is a teaching method where core offensive and defensive concepts are used to keep Special Teams SIMPLE (NOT NEW learning – stacking of the BEST). *This is modeled and researched from Auburn University – HC Gus Malzhan + The University of Oregon – HC Mark Helfrich + The University of Michigan – HC Fielding Yost + HC Dick Wuest @ Decorah, Iowa High (4 time State Champion – Class 3A). It will look complex – but by using proven learning and memorization techniques while combining core offensive and defensive concepts with consistent transition methods – Special Teams become Super Teams (Efficient – Effective - Electric) OFFENSIVE SPECIAL TEAMS – use BEST 3 plays (O Triangle) We use offensive personnel and plays to attack defenses using Numbers, Angles and Field + keep teams simple-sound (every player in the program will know and can participate on special teams by using O-D positions). *THEME – Super Hero’s (Super Good Teams) (1-2-3-5-0) SWINGING GATE PAT (Point After Touchdown) *Auburn University 2013 and University of Oregon 2014 - Swinging Gate By using our no huddle – supersonic speed – spread offense along with multiple shifts (Swinging Gate) for all PAT’s we can gain 2 advantages without doing extra teaching. #1 – create mismatches for high percentage 2 point plays (extra point = extra possession) #2 – create tentative defensive play – eliminating block attempts = increase kick success (4-9) SHORT PUNT (Align in offensive set THEN shift-sub to Spread Punt) *University of Michigan Short Punt – HC Fielding Yost 1901-1926 (6x national champ) Like the swing gate / short punt gives us 3 options – (1) go for it on 4th down with live play (2) quick kick (3) substitute-shift into Spread Punt formation – punt or fake with a live play.

  • Axiomatic Design of a Football Play-Calling Strategy
    Axiomatic Design of a Football Play-Calling Strategy A Major Qualifying Project Report Submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering by _____________________________________________________________ Liam Koenen _____________________________________________________________ Camden Lariviere April 28th, 2016 Approved By: Prof. Christopher A. Brown, Advisor _____________________________________________________________ 1 Abstract The purpose of this MQP was to design an effective play-calling strategy for a football game. An Axiomatic Design approach was used to establish a list of functional requirements and corresponding design parameters and functional metrics. The two axioms to maintain independence and minimize information content were used to generate a final design in the form of a football play card. The primary focus was to develop a successful play-calling strategy that could be consistently repeatable by any user, while also being adaptable over time. Testing of the design solution was conducted using a statistical-based computer simulator. 2 Acknowledgements We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the following people, as they were influential in the successful completion of our project. We would like to thank Professor Christopher A. Brown for his advice and guidance throughout the yearlong project and Richard Henley for sharing his intellect and thought process about Axiomatic Design and the role
