This book is really cool. Football fans might want to jump into a field and start running a football team after reading chapter one. And by footbal fans a mean FOOTBALL FANS... not that west coast/pass wacky/no RB fans.

This book has helped in someways of the offensive line blocking. I believe nowdays some of the plays that were developed years ago are not ran the same way as today. I still believe the Wing T can be successful on many levels.

I was a little disappointed in the quality of this book. The fact that the "running game" and the "passing game" book are faily identical in the beginning chapters was truly disappointing. I felt like a spent twice as much money on the books as I truly needed to. If your truly looking for information about the "wing-t" I suggest that you buy the Dennis Creehan books. I found them to be more informative and each book to be different so you're not spending money on the same information.

This is an outstanding book, even if you never plan to use the Wing-T formation. For those who want to incorporate the Wing-T Offense, this book is a definate must for fully utilizing the system. Most coaches use the Wing-T for its deceptive look and passing game, but the running game is equally important if not moreso.

The diagrams are very detailed with explanations and assignments for individual positions, hole assignments, techniques and the various looks that make the Wing-T successful.

One of the best features of this book is the extensive review of the playcalling system. It's straightforward and easy to remember...the system virtually eliminates confusion and miscommunication between the sideline and huddle, and makes it easy to fully train a player for a new position in a matter of minutes. The sheer flexibility that the system offers makes this book worth reading, even if you never plan to run a wing-t formation.

Definately on par with the other Art & Science of Coaching books, one of the best I've read.
