Great stuff Coach Wilhite! Triple option is very complimentary to the RPO game. READ THEM ALL!

Thank you coach! Have always loved the triple, and you're right, they fit together very well. Looks very hard to defend both -- can read just about any player on the field. Kansas mixes it in so well with the rest of their offense. Honestly hope they lean into it more though I need to watch more of their games too

This is great stuff. I do have a question though. How do I get our OC to buy into this concept? I have been doing extensive research on the Flexbone this season. It is a sustainable offense no matter your personnel year in and year out. Right now we are a throw it all over the field team. In my humble opinion we need to be more run oriented.... like 65 run to 35 pass. I have studied film from the previous year and our passing approach is causing our defense to be on the field at a rate of 18 plays defended per quarter. Nothing is sustained. How can I suggest a change without be viewed as a "change everything Coach." Thank you.

Tough situation to be in a system you don't align with, and I've been there in the past. However, I think I focused too much sometimes on that disagreement and that took time and energy away from me fixing the problems my group was facing and coaching them up with everything I had.
