I’m surprised how much I get certain questions. This one falls in that category. How do you tell the Quarterback and Center what alignment they should be in - under center, pistol or shotgun?
The question reminds me of when I first started trying to learn offensive football. As a lifelong defensive player, I had no understanding of the mechanics of one of the most basic elements of football - the handoff. Yet, no one ever wrote about it or talked about it in videos.
Well there’s no need for you to be in the dark on this quarterback alignment issue. In this episode of the JDFB Quick Clinic, I’ll talk about how you can communicate (or not communicate) the desired quarterback alignment to your guys from the sideline.

Unfortunately, for a head football coach the possibility of losing that position is a reality. There’s lots of reasons it may happen, but even some of the best coaches of all time have been fired at one point or another.
What should you do when confronted with that reality? In this episode of the JDFB Quick Clinic, we take a look at just what your plan of action should be when you lose your position as a head football coach. (Good news, it’s not the end of the world!)

Most position coaches dream of moving up one day. Calling the shots. Whether as a coordinator, or as the Head Football Coach.
For position coaches to move up, and be ready to make that move, your knowledge needs to extend past just one position. Or even one side of the ball.
During the off-season, there are plenty of opportunities for a position coach to expand the horizons. Here’s how you can learn new position groups, or new schemes, in the fastest time possible.
