Outstanding Compilation of Offenses

I really like this book. It is a compilation of presentations from 20 of the country's best college coaches of how to run their base offense. Each coach tells not only how to run the offense, but why. There is a significant amount of detail in the 10 pages or so each coach has from splits, to handling 3 and 5 technique defenders, to blocking assignments. Some even explain how much time they allot in practice to various techniques and what key concepts they need the players to learn. For example, on page 56, there is a paragraph that explains what the tight end does on his first and second steps. The book is not as dry as it may sound. These are presentations that have been transcribed and most coaches start and/or end with a story or tell about something meaningful to them.
