Coach -

I am always excited when Dan Gonzalez releases a new resource because it means I am going to learn something in a way that I haven’t thought about it before.

In his latest contribution on CoachTube, football coach and consultant Dan Gonzalez takes a deep dive into As part of his 27th course on the passing game and the fourth in the "Read and Shoot 3.0" series, Coach Gonzalez continues to empower coaches at all levels with tools to elevate their passing attacks. This resource is nearly 4 hours long, covering everything you need to install and run the flood concepts.

Why Three-Level Floods?

Three-level floods are a cornerstone of offensive strategy because they offer unparalleled versatility. These concepts can seamlessly integrate into any offensive system—whether you're running a veer, wing-T, pro-style, or spread offense—the secret lies in their adaptability to different protections, quarterback actions, and personnel groupings.

"Regardless of your style of offense, there are pieces of the three-level flood concept that will fit," Gonzalez explains. This adaptability makes it an invaluable tool in any coach's playbook.

A Comprehensive Toolbox

Coach Gonzalez's teaching method focuses on providing a "toolbox" approach. In this course, he categorizes three-level floods into two main types: outside floods and middle floods. These categories simplify the implementation process, helping you match concepts to your team’s strengths and situational needs.

The course also demonstrates how to mix and match these patterns with elements already present in an offense. Whether it’s the "dagger" concept or a "clear and in" route, Gonzalez offers variations and adjustments to ensure seamless integration.

He uses a practice clip here to illustrate what Floods can do for an offense.

Teaching and Application

The emphasis on teaching quarterbacks to process complex information is a standout feature of Gonzalez's approach. He introduces "A.C.T.S. refresher"(Advantage, Concepts, Third Fix, Scramble progression) content, which lays the groundwork for understanding and executing flood concepts efficiently. This foundation enables quarterbacks to match patterns with protections and make confident decisions on the field.

"One of the things I'm proud of," Gonzalez shares, "is that we can find a way to teach and have the quarterback process through any pattern or read type seen in NCAA or NFL games."

Installation and Game Planning

The course goes beyond theory, taking a deep dive into practical installation and game-planning considerations. Gonzalez guides you on integrating floods into your existing system and preparing players for game-day execution. By providing a roadmap from classroom to field, he ensures these concepts translate into measurable performance improvements.

A Must-Have Resource

Dan Gonzalez’s expertise in the passing game is unmatched, and this course is no exception. Whether you’re a new coach looking to modernize your offense or a seasoned veteran refining your approach, the insights in this course are invaluable.

As Gonzalez puts it: “This course is about creating a toolbox for coaches to mix and match concepts that apply to any offense. It’s all about teaching, applying, and achieving success on the field.”
