I have finished my new drill book for Running backs. You can see a preview to the right of this post or you can follow the link to scribd.com
The way that I intend to use this is giving each drill book to the position coach. They can then use it as a resource to pull drills from. When I plan out my practices with the coach I would ask them what drills they would intend to use and then add it right into the practice plan.
Enjoy

I have been away form blogging for a while. Well for quite a while. Now that football season is over and I am almost over with the basketball season, I will start adding new topics to my blog again. I hope to make the sight better than ever.
I shall begin talking about the shotgun wing-t. Videos will be added as well as plays drawn up. This topic will discuss the running game, passing game and empty backfield.
I have also started working on a couple of new drill books. The first that I will release will be a drill book for the running backs. This book will have drills specific for the wing-t and drills that can be used by every offense.
The second book I will be releasing will be one with the receivers. This will have a section specific for the Tight Ends.
The third book I will release will be specifically for the wing back.
Please give me some feedback and let me know if you would like me to address something specific on this sight or you would like to see in the drill books.
Always keep football burning in the back of your mind

It is that time of the year again when football camp has started again in Iowa. I don't quite know how other states do it, but here in Iowa we are allowed to have team camps any time during the summer (without pads) and can start official practices (helmets only) August 10th. This is 18 days before our first game.
I do know that other states have spring football, Iowa does not.
I am starting a new season at a new school this year. I am coaching at Bondurant-farar. A friend of mine is the head coach. I will be coaching the offensive and defensive line this year. Adam asked me to come on board to help them make it into the State Playoffs.
This has been a great relief to me. I just was not happy under the system that I was coaching in. The head coach and I had a difference of opinion about which way the program was heading. I expressed my opinion to him several times in private and finally I got fed up and decided to leave.
From what I have seen so far of Bondurant, it looks like we have the potential of being a team that can go along way in the playoffs. The lineman that I am working with are dedicated, hard working, and listen and respond well to the way I am coaching them.
I am still getting to know the kids and the other coaches on the staff. Overall I believe it is going to be a great year.
I still plan on becoming a head coach again in the future. I actually had to turn down three head coaching jobs this year because with the economy the way it is and after talking it over with my wife. I have just can't afford to uproot and move may family to another town. I don't think I could sell our house or to buy another at this time. There fore I am coaching at a new school but keeping my teaching job at the old one. Who knows maybe after this season there could be an opening for a head coach where I just left from.
Well wish me luck and I will keep you updated.

I have finally finished the first of my drill books. I have decided to make the offensive line drill book as the first that I am publishing. I decided to this first of all because I feel that the offensive line is the most important positions on the field. I guess I may be biased because I have always worked with the o-line.
In this drill book I have included several drills that I have used over the years. Very few of these drills are my own invention. I have learned these from my fellow coaches, videos, books, and seminars that I have attended. Coaches have been using these drills for a number of years.
What I have done is try to make these drills available to head coaches as well as position coaches. I have often seen in the drill books that I have read, that they are several drills for the entire team. Only a few for each position. I have made this so that the book can be handed to a position coach so that they can use them in practice. The reason why I am asking for a fee is because I have put these together into a book. I spent a lot of time and effort in obtaining the drills and putting together into this format.
If you have any questions or comments please feel free to share them with me.
The season is approaching fast!!!!!
Coach D
I will be posting the offensive dill books by position on August 15th. Make sure you are checking back for them.
I am also willingto take peoples questions and post answers to them on this blog. Questions as what to run in certain situations, what kind of personnel you should look for at each position, etc.
If you would like to leave a question for me to discuss please leave it as a reply to this post.

I have been slowly working on creating drill books to be used in the Definitive Wing-T system. I apologize for not getting them on my site yet. I am trying to get them done and posted however with my summer job, spending time with my young ones, and trying to get things ready for the upcoming season at a new school I have been a little busy and have fallen behind in my plans.
I know that several people have expressed interest in these drill books.
I will get them posted as soon as I can.

I have come up with a new name for my Wing-T system. I have named it the Definitive Wing-T. I named it this because I have tried to make it easier for coaches and players to understand. I use a three digit system. The first number is the series (backfield motion), the second is position getting the ball and the third, the hole that they are going to.
This definitive playbook contains all of the series that also includes the Jet and Fly motion that I have made their own series.
I also include a passing system that I have tried to make easier for the players. This includes a three step, five step, roll out and play action passing.
I have tried to incorporate the traditional Wing-T system with the hybrid system.
The playbook is available for purchase through scribd.com or may be bought here on the blog.
Enjoy,
Coach Dillon
