Talking Football with Coach McKie

Do you want to go fast in games but don't know how? Are you holding up practice by not knowing what to call throughout practice? Do you want to know what drill you need to do every day to work on tempo? If you answered 'Yes' to any of those questions then this is the podcast for you. Today I'm talking about Four Things You Must Do To Increase Tempo.

Do you want to get into the high school coaching profession, but don’t know how? Want to know what defense has me going bald? Want to know my thought process when I’m in the Red Zone? Then you are in for a treat. Today’s Coaching Mailbag involves getting started in high school football, worst defenses to go up against, and how spread teams game plan in the Red Zone.

Are you a ground and pound offensive team that wants to go to the Air Raid offense? Do you want to learn how to perfect the Four Vertical play? Do you want to learn the secret to unlocking the power behind the Y-Cross concept? Have you ever want to learn the Air Raid offense so bad that you've flown out Hal Mumme to teach it to you? If you've answered 'yes' to any of those questions then this is the interview for you.

Do you want to know how to install your whole Spread Offense in two hours a week? What about recruiting players to play American Football when you are the third most popular sport in the country? Or how to use technology to steal mental reps throughout the week? Then this is the interview for you. Today, I talk to coach David Butler. Coach Butler is a former offensive coordinator for in England. We talk about how he got his start, how he keeps his playbook small, and how he recruits his players to play.

So you've been hired to run the Spread Offense at a school that barely knows what the spread is. What do you do? How many run schemes do you install? Should you install seven quick game concepts and five dropback concepts? Should each wide receiver have their own screen? How many pass protections should you have? I answer all of those questions and more on today's Talking Football with Coach McKie Podcast.

How do you split duties between two offensive line coaches? Who should you pull in your Buck Sweep? What are three ways to defeat man to man? I answer these questions in today's Coaches Mailbag

Want to run the Run and Shoot offense? Want to know how many days you need to install everything? Do you wonder what the best Run and Shoot concept is? Then buckle up and get ready for a great podcast. Today I'm talking with Coach Justin Clark. Coach Clark has coached in the Run and Shoot offense, and he is going to walk us through what we need to do so we can be successful in the Run and Shoot offense.

Do you have trouble against teams that run man to man? Do you have too many concepts that can only run against a certain coverage? Would you like to always be right when you call a passing play? Yes? Then you need to run the Air Raid Mesh Concept. Why? Because the Air Raid Mesh concept can run out of any formation, has answers for man or zone defenses, and can easily be adapted by tagging certain players.

Do you want to know what's the difference between wide zone and tight zone? Do you want to know how many pass blocking schemes are too many? Have you ever wondered what to run against an eight-man box? Good. Because that's what I talk about today in the second edition of the coaches mailbox.

 Do you want to score 1,000 points per game? Do you want to utilize the latest technology to engage your kids? Do you want to be able to transform your team by implementing character building into your practice plan? Do you? Great. Then you want to listen to this episode of Talking Football with Coach Mckie. Why? Because today I'm interviewing Coach Mike Rowe.

I freaking love the Inside Zone and RPOs. I love how it allows me to call the best play no matter what the defense does. That's why in this episode of Talking Football with Coach McKie I talk about the best RPOs to tag to the Inside Zone scheme. What kind of RPOs do I talk about? First level RPOs - reading defensive linemen for either a give or throw. Second level RPOs - reading linebackers for either a give or throw. Third level RPOs - reading corners and safeties for either a give or throw.
