Coach ,
Chad Morris has always been known as a great offensive mind. It’s propelled him to head coaching opportunities. Now back as an offensive coordinator at Auburn, he looks to help build a positive impact on the Tigers offense. He shares how he builds the foundation of the offense on the run game.
Morris is grounded in sound offensive philosophy and he shared that with the Texas high school coaches in this clinic.
One of the predominant beliefs is to keep it simple for the guys upfront. To do that, Morris build a huge chunk of the offense off of four base runs:
- Power
- Counter
- Inside Zone
- Outside Zone
He carries those into each game plan and builds complimentary plays and answers off of those four schemes. He wants each scheme to have a minimum of one of the following
- Naked
- Play Action
- RPO
- Reverse
The other aspect which is important really becomes the filter for whether a play can be a part of their plan are the answers. The play has to have an answer for all the various coverages, blitzes, fronts, etc. If it doesn’t have an answer it won’t work for them.
They have a board with all of the different problems a defense can present. They build a library for each and know what plays they will go to when confronted by those issues.
Morris explains how he builds the offense in this video:
