Coach ,

The COOL Clinic is back!

It has been the premier offensive line coaches event since 1976. It’s where offensive line innovation has happened, networking was done and the details of offensive line play shared by the game’s top coaches.

It continues to be an incredible clinic and the success and wider reach allowed by the virtual delivery of the event in 2021, as well as the need for flexibility in presenter schedules, has allowed this to continue to be the premier event.

The COOL Clinic - Virtual - May 19th-21st

This year’s line-up includes some new topics outside of the technical side and even bridges over to the defensive side and learning from the perspective of a defensive line coach.

Kicking things off is a former colleague and long-time friend of Bob Wylie, Jon Gruden. Coach Gruden will share exactly what he looks for in hiring an offensive line coach.  As you look for opportunities in the future, this will be a valuable resource.

On the defensive side of the ball, NFL Alumni coach Mike Waufle, who continues to tutor Rams All-Pro Aaron Donald, will share his insight into what he is teaching in terms of pass rush body mechanics. Why is this important for an offensive line coach?  Understanding the technique and schemes that will be needed to handle a rusher can be the difference between a clean pocket and the quarterback on his #$@!  

The line-up includes the offensive line coaches from 

• World Champion Los Angeles Rams Kevin Carberry - “Fundamentals in Running The Gap Schemes”
• College National Champion Georgia Bulldogs Matt Luke - “Grouping Your Schemes. How To Simplify Your Teaching”
• CFL Grey Cup Champions Marty Costello - “Techniques And Adjustments In The Zone Running Game”

NFL Alumni who was on the Hall of Fame Ballot, Willie Anderson will be speaking about “The Evolution of Pass Protection.”

Other coaches and topics include:

Andy Heck, Kansas City Chiefs - “Teaching & Drilling Pass Pro 3, 5, and 7 Step Drops”

Joe Philbin, Dallas Cowboys - “Five (5) Man Empty Protection”

Ron Crook, 2021 Cincinnati Bearcats OL Coach - “Inside Zone Fundamentals”

Cody Kennedy, Arkansas - “Gap Scheme Combos And GT Counter To A 3 Man Surface”

Brent Davis,  Army - “Integrating Conventional Run Concepts and Techniques into an Option Offense”

Kyle Caskey, NFL Alumni Running Backs Coach - “Exotic Pressure Pickup Schemes”

Steve Palazzo, Pro Football Focus - “Using Analytics in Developing the Offensive Line” 

Craig Doman, Sport Attorney & Mindset Coach - “What Is A Pro Mindset? The Mindset That Separates The Gold Jackets From The Rest”

And of course, there are the usual suspects, the original members of the Mushroom Society, Jim McNally, Paul Alexander, and Bob Wylie.

Until April 1, you can save $20 on registration, and when you register now, you get the Pro Football Focus course from the 2021 C.O.O.L. Clinic for FREE.  

It covers the analytics on the importance of the offensive line in the run and pass game, how play action is a cheat code, break down and analysis of what teams were best at certain run concepts and pass protections. It sheds a ton of light on offensive line play and will certainly spark thinking about how you can help improve your offense thru OL development.
