The Veer Book

This book is awesome no matter what offense you run. I have been a College and High School coach since 1986 and it's the best book on football that I have read period ! I coached at a small college and we ran the split backs TCU veer and developed our program into a top program due to this offense. The Head Coach would travel to TCU yearly just to visit with Coach Wacker and learn any new wrinkles that he might have implemented into his offense. The book is very thorough and the line calls are presented in an easy to follow format with great illustrations. Some modern authors should read this book to see how explanations and diagrams of plays should be presented to the reader so the plays are easily understood.. The chapter on teaching the Quarterback how to count the defense and audible the play to take advantage of the weakness of a defense is very well presented. The school I currently coach at uses the Slot-I formation as our base offensive formation but I will be putting the inside veer, lead option, and cut back dive, especially against 4-3 defensive teams, into our package next year due to me having read this book.This offense could still be used by major college programs and would still be as effective now as it was when Coach Wacker was alive. Just watch Georgia Tech win a National Championship in the next few years if you doubt it. This book is a real timeless classic and if you can find yourself a copy like I did,BUY IT !

THE book on the veer....

If you are even considering running the veer, or are just wanting to learn more about it, this book is the one to have. Th emost thorough book on the veer ever, it takes you from the basics to the line calls, and even gives some insight on the evolution of the offense. Great Book!

Explosive Veer Offense

Best book on the split back veer that I have read (I haven't read Bill Yoeman's book on the veer yet). The book has an interesting method of line calls which provides food for thought however it's detailed explanation of the outside veer and their version of the counter option (which is different from the traditional version of the counter option).
