Learning a Playbook is Learning a New Language

This is one of the harder aspect of coaching. Developing a naming system that the players can remember, and remember the small details of the play. The more you do on offense or defense the more your players have to master.

BTW coach Sirianni coached my position group at Mount Union and we didn’t have so much verbiage !

@RayTheGrouch they could definitely simplify the language if they wanted to, right?

lol

It is learning a new/different language & the QB has to be fluent! You can do so many variations to a relatively simple play w/ a call or tag that is simple, effective & easy to learn for that position(s). Another wrinkle in the system is to call two plays/1 called & 1 signaled

Sheesh! 🤯
