THE VALUE OF GOING UNDER CENTER

Too many offenses today live almost entirely in the shotgun and lose some of the physical and fundamental aspects that help offenses consistently control football games

Going under center is still one of the most important tools an offense can have at every level of football

From a coaching perspective, under center football creates better timing, cleaner footwork, stronger play action, and more downhill run game angles. It forces quarterbacks, running backs, offensive linemen, and skill players to operate with discipline and precision every snap

✅ Stronger and more believable play action

✅ Better downhill run game timing and blocking angles

✅ Helps quarterbacks develop footwork, rhythm, and command

✅ Creates more balance within the offense

✅ Allows offenses to control tempo and physicality

✅ Improves communication and execution across the unit

✅ Builds toughness and accountability throughout the offense

✅ Gives coordinators more flexibility in short yardage, red zone, and situational football

One thing coaches always look for is whether an offense can consistently execute the small details under pressure

Under center football teaches those details every single practice rep. Footwork, ball handling, timing, pad level, aiming points, communication, and finishing all become critical

The best offenses are not always the flashiest offenses. The best offenses are usually the most disciplined, physical, and fundamentally sound. Going under center still helps build that identity

[tony franklin @coachtf]

The most important thing I learned from coaching for 45 years:

Everyone wants to win.

Preparing to win…That’s a completely unique journey.

Those are different people.

The best (smartest) preparation equals more quality winning.

Want without preparation is only a dream
