Why is the option when executed so beautiful to watched? Simple it reminds me of my football camp Counselor days in the late 1990's. That's where I meet one of the best modern day option coaches Jerry Campbell. He would get a some poor slap coach on the white board and whip him when they did something not sound with that slap's X&O's. He had such swag when he was explaining his Option on Me system.
- Odd front run lead option to the tight end.
- Even Stack (4-3) run speed option to the Split End Side.
- Even Front (4-2-5) run midline to the 3 tech.
This system is a check system now fast forward to Rich Rodriguez and his spread offense more specifically his outside zone play. Using Blue or 20 personal the Blocking back and the Back running the ball both read the zone play.
After one of his bowl games at West Virginia his opponents asked how he called the right play for each of their called blitzes. The last one with the chalk won again but not only on the board but on the field.
