I completely agree with this philosophy offensively. I don’t know why more coaches don’t build an inside run game out of a pistol spread. The concept puts so much stress on a defense due to the defense being forced to remove guys from the box and I like the running start from the hybrid I the pistol creates
You read my mind for some odd reason. I changed my offense to the pistol. When you have backs coming out of the backfield especially in the air raid, linebackers and corners key off of their alignment. When I went to the pistol I noticed he would out flank the linebackers as fast as usual. Also coach, it’s time to get MSU lanyard. Cougs are going to be 🗑 😝
How well does misdirection work for you out of Pistol.. For example, play is going Right.. Back takes a jab step or 2 Left and then comes in front of the QB to take the hand off going Right.. IE, sort of like a counter, then off that possibly have the QB fake that and pull back going left.. (pin and pull in a way) .. Your video's are awesome btw.. thank you
Great video. Easy concepts to grasp, simple fundamentals as it pertains to X’s O’s. I’ll bet you’re a great teacher, too. It was easy for me to understand what you were putting down.
@@CoachMcKie one of the main things I took away is this pistol makes it easier for the QB rather he's a thrower or runner or both and for the RB. You can get all of the pro style looks as well so I don't understand why NFL offenses don't use pistol more often than under center especially when most QBs coming out are in pistol or the gun 90 percent of the time. It would streamline their success a lot quicker just off of confortability. You're teaching vids are awesome man!

@Lance Fabian I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and Im trying it out now. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Coach McKie Yes, we’ve ran it from pistol. The downside is you lose any read/RPO. We will run a “bootleg” off of the action though. The jab step and reverse open by the QB causes the LBs to either take a step in the wrong direction or at least freeze them, allowing the OL to get in a better position
In order to eliminate the apex player when you go sidecar, could you 1) send that player in motion pre-snap to the other side and just run a slant concept with your R behind him, or 2) could you go with a two back sidecar set to eliminate that apex player?
I love the concept. However, I hand off the ball to the opposite side and teach them to "cut" against the grain. Tiger Ellison in his "Popcorn Series" would hand off on the opposite side of the trap From his Run & Shoot scheme of the early 1960's.
Last year from watching a bunch of LSU I noticed Joe Burrow would pivot and almost end up in the same position as a QB would be making the handoff in a pistol set. Almost not allowing the back to cross his face. When they played Mike Leach and the Boys two weeks ago this technique was completely missing.
coach...when you speak of "2 high"....are you mainly in dealings with zone concepts...like 4 quarters?? cause i hate 2 high (cover 2).....1 high actually gives you more deep defenders if you consider cover 3....which covers up more holes medium to deep wise than a plain cover 2...don't you think? whats your facts or opinions on that? if i ever was to run 2 high...best believe it would be a cover 4 concepts with maybe bringing the safeties in just a little bit...
Is there a goal and running playback that wears down the pass rushers and dbs that the vertical passing game will benefit from with big plays and gains and what is it called
We were the traditional sidecar spread team that had the problem of the backs ignoring the cutback. Put this in and suddenly they were hitting it and we were owning folks. Spiced it up with a little split zone and it was our devastating, go to run play.
Hey Coach, we went to pistol last year and it made a lot o things easier, and i like the fact we're not giving away keys for the defense. Do you think you could run Pin & Pull the same way you run outside zone from pistol?
@@CoachMcKie I guess I'll just try and see where it gets us. I haven't had the Opportunity yet, last year we ran Inside and Outside Zone, and Power, and I would really like to add Pin and Pull to that. I'll let you know how it worked for me, Season's about 3 Months away here in Europe ;) And Thank You for all this great content!
@@ryanfritz773 Well, due to Corona the Season and most of Pre-Season and Practice was cancelled, we only had three games with very limited practice time, so I wasn't really able to test it yet
I never ran the pistol and for whatever reason one day, after having the game for 6 years, I decided to give it a chance with East Carolina and was a ton of fun. I wasted six years of NCAA14 life.

Awesome job as usual coach. This was great video from both an offensive and defensive perspective.

No man. The Run and Shoot is at WSU now!
We just ran zone the old way and my backs were trying to outrun penetration and never cut back.

To run pin and pull, have the back jab step away, and have your QB reverse open and hand behind.
Do you run Pin and Pull from Pistol? Are you reading anyone is you do?

One of my OC buddies runs Counter trey out of Pistol same way. He’s also run it from traditional gun

I am not currently a coach, but I have aspirations of that in the very near future.
Coach, I want to run a pistol formation with stack receivers could we run it at the youth level?
OF course you can do that. And it would be effective.

This does make sense, but what if your pass designs are already put in right or left, will it take more to execute from pistol?
What do you mean coach?
Would it be smart to run an option pass out of this formation?
Yes sir. It would be great to do
@@CoachMcKie thank you so much Im trying new ideas for next years playbook

Is there a goal and running playback that wears down the pass rushers and dbs that the vertical passing game will benefit from with big plays and gains and what is it called
What are the steps that the Qb takes during zone read
such great content. keep it up
Thanks coach. Just saw your email too. I'll hit you back up.
What depth did you have your QB at? Have people moved the QB up in pistol?
I have coached and run Pistol since its birth at UNR. Quarterback at 5 yards
We put QB at 5 and RB 1 yard behind him
We were the traditional sidecar spread team that had the problem of the backs ignoring the cutback. Put this in and suddenly they were hitting it and we were owning folks. Spiced it up with a little split zone and it was our devastating, go to run play.

I haven't been successful with Pin and Pull that way. Maybe you could though?

I need some explosive plays out of 21 pers. Gun form
What do you have so far?
Yes Sir I took some of those chiefs plays have a lot of option plays
I kno it's late could you make a video with some
I put these schemes into NCAA14. Lol.
I never ran the pistol and for whatever reason one day, after having the game for 6 years, I decided to give it a chance with East Carolina and was a ton of fun. I wasted six years of NCAA14 life.
@@jamesmarhen I have a custom Pistol playbook that I love. IMO its the best way to run the option in NCAA 14
