5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for Offensive and Defensive coaches, April 30, 2001

This is truly a great book. Well put together in all aspects. The in depth view on quarterback mechanics, route running for recievers make this a must have. Not to mention, Mr Jenkins breaks down the west coast offense better than any book to date. He leaves room for creativity, yet it's still the same system. The call sheet in the front of the book, and the free plays in the back are definately a bonus. For you defensive coaches, the chapter on O-line protection will definately enhance your blitz preparation for any team. Not to mention, it will better help your game plan in general of how to better control the game on the defensive side of the ball.

5.0 out of 5 stars KUDOS!!! An excellent book that is a MUST have..., November 10, 2001

This review is from: Coaching the Multiple West Coast Offense (Art & Science of Coaching) (Paperback)

Right along the lines with Coverdale and Robinson's work, even though I'm not a west coaster I found myself going back to this book again and again this season looking for new wrinkles and techniques. A very thorough book and I must agree the VERY BEST of the West Coast Offense books dare I say even superior to Bill Walsh's mammoth tome.

Game plan, technique, teaching methods, offensive line, qb and receiver play, and run game its all here!! And best of all its all very adaptable to what ever you may be running. KUDOS I say again to Coach Jenkins and Ditto with all the other positive reviewers, this books is a MUST HAVE.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best!, December 29, 2001

This review is from: Coaching the Multiple West Coast Offense (Art & Science of Coaching) (Paperback)

The book was a gift from one of my assistant coaches who is trying to get me to use this system. Although I am very set in my ways, the book does make me think. It's very well written, with a lot of great information. In my view, this is most likely the best football book on the market today. I am a "run first" football coach, but the Jenkins' pass system seems extremely easy to learn and teach. He lays out the basic QB reads, and is making a believer out of me now. There seems so much that can be learned from this book, that I have to put it down at times to digest all the information. The added quarterback section is also one of the best I have ever seen on the passing game. This QB section could be a book all by itself. As I stated before, this is probably the best book on the market today, with respect to offensive football!
