LEARN FROM 2-TIME GEORGIA STATE CHAMPION THREE books combined into one. - Over 300 pages printed on 8"x11" paper. Roger Holmes has been to THREE Georgia state title games and has the state record for most points (711) scored in a season. His team rushed for over 700 yards in one game and had 6,700 rushing yards on the season to rank #4 in the entire country. Holmes has won over 170 games in a 29-year career. This manual is a systematic way to teach the Wing T Offense based on the system developed by college coach and Tennessee Hall-of-Famer Herschel Moore. Coach Moore modified the Delaware Wing-T system to have multiple blocking variations and is also credited for developing the Jet Sweep. Tubby Raymond and Ted Kempski themselves went to Moore to learn about the Jet and Rocket sweeps. Most teams run Delaware’s Wing-T by the book, with only 3-4 basic series, never jumping into unbalanced formations, and always using the same blocking schemes. Traditional Wing-T teams also do not pass the ball often. Roger Holmes has expanded Moore’s offense to use more wide receivers and pass the ball more. Holmes also added the midline and the veer and loves using unbalanced formations. Coach Holmes philosophy is to quickly identify whether your QB is a runner or a passer. The Holmes system has the ability to pass the ball more the years you have a QB who can throw, or run an expanded option game the years your QB is a runner. FOUNDATION & FRAMEWORK It is important to learn the roots of any system in order to truly understand the “why” behind the play calls and drills. Holmes gives detailed descriptions of the type of player he looks for in each position before going thru all the formations, shifts, & trades. RUN GAME Every traditional Wing-T family is covered in this section: Buck; Belly; Down, Counter & Power. There is also Midline and Veer for the years you have a running QB and the games when there is a D-Lineman you cannot block. The Jet & Rocket section shows how to attack the edges and spread the defense out. PASS GAME It is the not the Wing-T system that lacks a passing attack, it is the coaches that are refusing or not understanding how to pass. This book has a complete Pass Section showing you how to attack each coverage. Holmes’ play action pass game is much more expansive than most Wing-T offenses and his use of 3-step and sprint out only further opens up the running game. His simple pass protection schemes are easy to install in practices that devote the majority of the time to the running game. DRILLS & PRACTICE You can have the most complete, well thought out offensive system that football has ever seen and none of it will matter if YOU CAN’T TEACH IT TO YOUR PLAYERS!!! This section will show you how to maximize your practice time. Practice fast, efficient, and physical. Not only put them in, but rep them enough times to be really good at running them. This requires a very organized coaching staff who can “coach on the fly” and run practices at high tempos. It also requires “MASS TEACHING” where players are constantly getting reps and not standing in lines. GAME PLANNING and SCOUTING ¨ Detailed explanations of what to look for when watching opponent’s film. ¨ Flow charts of “If-Then” statements using plays that are most effective vs defenses. ¨ How to call the plays on Friday night so that the defense is in conflict. Roger Holmes has been doing this for more than 30 years and as AD, has hired and mentored hundreds of coaches in multiple sports. Holmes shows you how he delegates year-round duties for every coach, including the in-season tasks during weekend film break down to Friday night assignments.
