Coach ,

You say you want a revolution? Well today, you can become part of a coaching tree that stretches back to the sixties, a time of revolution, but first, a very brief history lesson.

Glen “Tiger” Ellison’s book, Run and Shoot: The Offense of the Future (1965) starts,

“This is the story of a revolution. A revolt started in the mind of a football coach and ended in a new order of things on the football field.”

After winning with his Run and Shoot Offense, Tiger went on to become an assistant for Mr. “Three Yards and a Cloud of Dust” himself, Woody Hayes. Woody wrote the Foreword to Tiger’s book, noting to Ellison,

“You're the forward-passingest coach in the country, and they say I’m the most non-passingest coach that ever lived.”

Hiring Ellison didn’t change anything with the Buckeyes offense. Ohio State did not adopt the Run and Shoot, but the book did inspire a high school coach in Oregon.

As with all great ideas, there’s the originator, and then there’s the guy who takes that idea and runs with it and transforms the world. In football, that guy was Darrell “Mouse” Davis.  

Inspired by Ellison’s book which he picked up in the late sixties, Mouse began taking the principles and evolving it closer to the form it takes today.

The evolution continued with a quarterback who played for Davis at Portland State, June Jones, who took the revolution a step further, operating the offense from the shotgun. June used it at every level of football including the new XFL where he was 5-0 and leading the league in passing and scoring before the shutdown.

Of course, in the direct coaching tree, the Run and Shoot is alive and well at Washington State with Jones’ former QB Nick Rolavich. At Hawaii, Rolavich passed for 4,176 career yards and 40 touchdowns and still holds six school passing records.

That’s the very brief history lesson of the Run and Shoot. What’s exciting about the news today, is that you can learn the Run and Shoot directly from Mouse Davis and June Jones through their Run and Shoot Certified Course

The value of learning directly from the coaches who created an offense is priceless.  These opportunities are rare. Whether you take what you learn and stay true to its form or continue the evolution yourself, there’s not a better place to learn a passing game that continues to shatter records and lead leagues.

Don’t envision yourself running this offense as a whole? 

You’ll find that the concepts of the Run and Shoot dominate passing games at every level. Whether these plays are in your playbook, your opponent’s or plays that you watch on Saturday or Sunday, Mouse and June developed these plays as well. They are tried and true at every level. Here’ just a sample:

• 14/15
• Streak
• Choice

As stated, going to the inventors of the concept can teach you so much more than getting it from second hand resources. Mouse and June have been generous enough to offer $80 off the course.

While the foundation of your learning is in the digital course, there’s the opportunity to interact with Davis, Jones, and the Run and Shoot family.  

You can go and try to learn this from secondary sources or go straight to the originators who have been faced with all the problems defenses have thrown at them over the decades.  

Here’s some of what they give you:

• 40 Hours of Teaching Tapes and Film Study
• Exclusive Run & Shoot All-22 video library from 1984 to Present
• Virtual Reality cut-ups of the Run & Shoot offense
• Direct access to June Jones & staff for your questions
• Access to live monthly webinars during the off season 
• Analysis of your film!

Check out Run and Shoot Certified to see all that they have put together for you. It’s the most comprehensive library on any passing game available! 

Then go out and evolve what you do to move the football and score points!
