Football Coaching Strategies

This book covers all aspects of the game from the very best college coaches - Paterno, Bowden, Spurrier, etc. Each 'chapter' is about three pages long; a coach diagrams a play for you and tells you the philosophy behind it. It has excellent illustrations. I have used it as a resource for years. The only downside is the book has been on the market for many years now, so the Spread Offenses we have seen so much of in the past several years are not part of the book. This book covers offense, defense, and special teams. As a former high school and college coach I can attest it will work for both those levels of football.

As a football coach this was a good and informative read. Would recommend to other coaches.

It gives you both offensive and defensive overview of the game. This book get you ready for the other two or is the period that finishes them off.

I gave it as a gift so I don't know! Change your possible responses as I gave allthese books away for Xmas!

Even winning coaches need to look around from time to time and see what other coaches find to be successful. This is a good place to start. Thanks.

This book is great if you are looking for a general overview of many aspects of the game. Always great to add more tools to the toolbox. Great reference.

Of the numerous football guides I've read, this is the first book that actually went beyond the X's and O's of football. As the title says, it not only discusses the on-field game, but also preparation, team building, and the mental side of the game.This book touches interesting topics and is probably intended for giving some more food for thought and different angles on coaching issues. It is not exactly a DIY-manual or a literal step-by-step gude for all football coaches on how to build a successful team.While some of the chapters are a bit academic and subject to cross your personal views, this book is a recommended especially for those who are just starting their coaching career or coach youth and junior football.

Great book…Well written with lots of knowledge
