  • The Power and the Glory: Single-Wing Football
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 14, No. 4 (1992) The Power and the Glory: Single-Wing Football by Jim Campbell "There is no way to improve on football beyond the unbalanced line single-wing" -- Coach Carl G. Snavely, Bucknell University, 1933. Certainly, there are those who would take exception to Coach Snavely's statement of years ago, but one of those would not be Keith Piper, head coach at Denison University in Granville, Ohio, where he still runs the single-wing -- much to the chagrin of the Big Red's opponents. Piper, who was a fine single wing center at Baldwin-Wallace, during and after World War II, contends that no one really ever caught up with, or passed, the single wing offense -- it's like the double-breasted suit. It just went out of style. Don't look now, but the old "dee-bee" is back. Is the single wing far behind? Once college football shook itself out in the 1880s and '90s, the basic offensive formation -- as practiced by Amos Alonzo Stagg, Walter Camp, Fielding "Hurry Up" Yost, George Woodruff, John W. Heisman and other pioneers -- was similar to a "full-house" T- formation. The legalization of the forward pass in 1906 -- football had become so brutal by '05 that President Teddy Roosevelt called leaders of the sport to the White House and told them, essentially, "Clean up your act. Get rid of the massed formations, interlocked interference, kicking (other than the football, we assume), slugging or I'll ban the game" -- gave birth to new tactics. Glenn Scobey "Pop" Warner, then riding the crest of a wave of popularity as coach of the storied Carlisle Indian School, invented the single-wing.

  • Dictionary of American Football Terms by John T. Reed
    Dictionary of American football terms by John T. Reed Copyright by John T. Reed Order Form | Coaching home page Ever since I first got into football coaching, I have wanted a dictionary of football terms. There are some in the backs of some older books, but they are never comprehensive. So I am going to create one here on this Web page. I will try to add a definition a day because it’s a massive project and pays me nothing. Another problem is that football is a Tower of Babel in many respects. Some words mean different things at different teams. For example, many coaches feel they can pick their own name for some positions, most commonly linebackers. They call them “stud” or “monster” or “rover” and so forth. Often a term is only used at one team. This is dumb and I wish they would stop doing it, but I am not going to hold my breath. So in that sense, this will have to be a multi-language dictionary. In addition to clarifying the meaning of various football terms, this will also help coaches spell and punctuate them correctly. Embarrassingly for guys who call themselves “educators,” many coaches do not know how to spell or punctuate their own specialty’s terminology. Football coaches as a group have a public image of being ignorant or even morons. Unfortunately, there is too much truth to that image. Coaches who object to that image need to read through this dictionary to make sure they are not contributing to it. Among the most common and devastating to coaches’ reputation as intelligent people mistakes are the many malapropisms in the profession.
