Best Eleven of 2023, #7: Using the “Why” to Create High-Level Execution – Mike Peck, Offensive Coordinator, Burley High School (ID)

Mike Peck, the offensive coordinator for Burley High School in Idaho, is our #7 interview of 2023. He joined us earlier this year to discuss why and how he and his staff install and coach their offense in a way that leads to better learning and understanding of their system. Going back and identifying the “why” and “how” behind all of what you do on offense, defense, and special teams can pay great dividends as you construct your plans for 2024. Show Notes: Spread the field and attack horizontally and vertically Based out of 10 personnel and empty, but highlight personnel year-to-year Hang your hat on runs and passes for the base offense Two factors that create execution: installation and practice The players understanding of why Install as a year-round activity leading up to the season Front loading for better learning Quarterback school The quarterback should be out on the field teaching it with you  Tools used to teach in the classroom Quizzes and competition Seven-day install format Practice format Early outs: walk through Situational periods in practice Unscripted situations so play callers get work Debrief periods so players understand why and what happened right or wrong Coach learning from the debrief as well Kids don’t come in on weekends Technology to allow coaches more family time Follow Mike Peck on Twitter @CoachPeck11.
