Run the UNSTOPPABLE Air Raid Offense

[@philyandall265]

This was super helpful coach!! I am an O line coach preparing myself for an OC position at my old high school. Much appreciated! Awesome job breaking it down.

[@anthonyarinaga9086]

Love seeing the content. Definitely support perfecting what you run and making sure the kids know the "why"

[@CoachMcKie]

Absolutely!!

[@steveyeater7017]

thanks for the info. Retired from coaching about a decade ago was a doublewing coach. Going back to help the school since they have been down since and now they are a spread team, your info is really helping.

[@joeygaddy3782]

Hey coach I love what you doing. We are going to the air raid. So i will be asking more as we go along. You are a great teacher

[@CoachMcKie]

Heck yeah man. Hope you score a crap lot

[@quinonbrooker3623]

Great job Coach!

[@tcsaheadcoach212]

I have literally posted this particular session 4 times on my social media because of all the gold you mentioned. I suggest coaches jump on this GOLD!!

[@CoachMcKie]

Tha k you very much coach.

[@Thunderbirdguy23]

We are a wing T team... but we have transitioned to new concepts out of the gun t. That's have helped our passing game tremendously we have always been solid at running the ball but now we have dabbled with the RPO game and we have had some great success now teams can't just load the box on us anymore.

You just bottled up my offense and sold it 😂😂. We make the game so much harder than it has to be. Once I started playing like this football became fun again and we’ve been playing deep into the playoffs every year. Really good stuff man. Great job!

[@charleshicks6144]

Great stuff Coach Sorry I couldn’t get there for the live show.

[@CoachMcKie]

That’s alright coach

[@Sasketchejuana_man]

Finding that I rarely have to go to the backside of a play. The first 2 or 3 reads are same side of the field. They rarely take them away

That’s good

Who am I to judge the 🐐 of the Air Raid, but I think if Leach wasn’t so pure he would have a championship by now. He could window dress plays better and add a few more runs in. He reminds me of Gus. Their offense was on the cutting edge. Their failure to adapt is why defenses can adjust on the fly.

[@CoachMcKie]

I kinda agree with tou

[@kevanrymer6118]

@@CoachMcKiehey coach, I was wondering how I can get access to All 22 film study on TN Vols? Any and all of there games from the past two years. Is there a software or something I can get on to study the way coaches do? Coach to coach?

[@winstondeonta]

Coach, I noticed in the practice plan you didn't mention anything about time set aside for the run game. Is there a section where you do that during a certain period or is it just focused on in team?

Love this, love this, love this. Thank you 👏👏👏👏👏

I problem coach. Hopes it hwlped

[@leejo5462]

@@CoachMcKie sometimes it’s good to have a coach like you confirm what your already thinking ie.. keep it simple, get good at a few rather than be average at much etc. Not to mention the little light bulb moments that go off in my head when I’m listening to you. I love what you do man and I freekin love when your honest and say “I don’t know” you just keep it real. I also like how you admit your still learning stuff from other coaches coz I’m on that journey with you. Love what you do and love your channel. 👏👏👏👏👏

[@carlosluna1500]

Hey coach. I am having trouble coming up with EDDs for practice. 2nd year HC and wanting to run the air raid. I saw the practice plan you posted on this video but what I need help is with the actual drills to do every day. Any way you can help me with a detailed practice plan? I would be so thankful for your time and guidance. Appreciate all you do for us.

[@carlosluna1500]

Hey coach , I am having trouble with the formation of the plays. In this video you mention about 4 formations that you would run. Does that mean all the concepts inside outside zone counter stick corner cross etc… would they all be ran out of each formation going left and right ? So would it be 104 plays ? 13 plays going left and right would be 26. But that would that be for 1 formation. Would you do them for the other 3 formations as well? Or are we just picking any formations and having 26 plays total left and right? Any advice is appreciated.

[@seanlancaster4699]

Wassup buddy. Good stuff

[@carlosluna1500]

Hey coach. I have tried to put this in and we are now 3 games in and scored zero points can I send you some film and maybe you can tell me what it is I am doing wrong ? Any help would be appreciated! Thank you

[@andrewvanderpool2517]

I know this is primarily for high school Football, but I would love some input on how to run this at the youth level, I’m coaching 3rd and 4th graders this year and think this would be fun to run. Coming from a wing t background

[@dcanada34]

Yes this helped allot

[@mitchellmayhaus1430]

How did you get started in coaching? I’m trying to become one and I’ve been told it’s all about who you know, I do not really know any coach’s so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

[@541-RAIDER]

Volunteer in youth coaching. You'll figure out if you enjoy coaching and learn the process. After a few seasons you'll meet other coaches who coach at other levels. This should help you find options gain experience. Good luck.

[@gregk7916]

Hey Coach. I'm getting into coaching for the first time, any chance you still have some stuff from the patreon? I couldn't find it when I searched, maybe you took it down?

[@IamHimothy24]

Do you have any playbooks for download??

Of course. There are running back screens, tunnel screens, quick screens, double screens...

[@cowgoesmoo9981]

Hey coach. Our team has just lost in 3 straight semifinal appearances with only 2 regular season losses in 3 years. We are losing a lot of great players cuz our senior class was one of the best we had in about a decade. Our offense was not that good 2 of the 3 years and the 1 year we had an insane power RB that would break every tackle and would get 10-15 yards per carry on bad days. Our head coach always wanted to have good lineman and blockers before anything else, and when we had great skill players he wouldn’t utilize them. We were winning games putting up average of 14points per game and our highest scoring game was 28. Our defense was what carried us every year allowing only 3 points per game average. Our DC is a genius and I am convinced we will still have a good defense for years to come. I’m just wondering a team like this would be able to go from semifinal appearance to state championship if we switched to this simple air raid offense. The OC job is up for grabs and it’s between me and a good friend of mine who I know is always listening to me for any football advice for schemes, plays, installs, concepts, etc or anything really. And we will both be on the same staff no matter who gets it so we will still essentially have the same knowledge and scheme and play calling. You think this simple air raid offense can take this team to the next level even tho we are considered to be at a somewhat high level?

[@lochfoster1514]

When you say “take what the defense gives you,” does you mean like equating numbers and box counting to determine whether to run or pass?

[@CoachMcKie]

Yes

[@lochfoster1514]

@@CoachMcKie I feel like I so often see spread teams say it’s all about equating numbers and giving what the defense takes but then they throw against a 5-man box with a 5-man line and it’s 1st and 10. Is there a reason for that? Like, even if it’s a standard cover not trying to take advantage of a pressing corner or a WR screen?

[@lowery14]

I can see these being great additions after you have already used an entire season to grasp the simple concepts displayed here.

[@johnsergesketter5196]

Do you believe this will work at the 8,9,10 year old Youth level??? I feel the 11,12 year old division in the league I have coached in, can handle running the Air Raid. I have seen people try spread and Air Raid in the young age group and gotten destroyed or quickly abandoned the offense. I'm a single wing guy, but if I ran an Air Raid I'd have Inside Zone, Fly, wide/outside zone as my run game.

[@CoachMcKie]

100%. I've worked with coaches who coach that age and they've had success.

[@johnsergesketter5196]

@@CoachMcKie 3 days with 1.5 hrs of practice. Does it come down to the right drills and skills? I'm a single Wing and spread single wing guy that uses fly sweep series. I tend to be run heavy because I was not a QB and most of the guys I have volunteered with weren't either. My interest is for when my son plays and I coach again.

[@bobobeebs]

@@johnsergesketter5196 I was a sub par lineman in HS and had no college aspirations or ability. In 1993, I read the original Run and Shoot book by Tiger Ellison and combined it with some classic Joe Gibbs run concepts. It looked like an even simpler version of what Coach McKie presented here. I think we had 10 total plays and ran 4 of them almost exclusively. The players were aged 11-13, and the previous season had been blown out of every game and barely scored because their coach was an arrogant prick who didn't know what he was doing.... that was me too. 😁 We lost the first game of the season and the championship game to the same, talented and well coached, team. We averaged a little over 30 points per game. Our quarterback was reluctant to play QB at the start of the season because he had dyslexia, went to special classes to learn how to read, and none of his other coaches had confidence in his ability. He ended up calling his own formations and plays until we were so far ahead that I made the team huddle. Also, I was the entire coaching staff, with occasional help from some of the dads. I'm no great coach, not even close. But my experience has shown me that this kind of system, if it is practiced correctly, can work at the levels you're asking about. Good luck!

[@richiebenfrankz2834]

I wouldn’t run inside zone at the youth level. Atleast not ages 8-12. You will be facing 5-3 and 6-2 fronts. I’d run off tackle and jet sweep plays at that level.

[@timlamb1156]

I run air raid for 5th and 6th grade, inside zone and belly base run plays, I have consistently competed for leauge championships with different kids every yr. It definitely works, work progressions with qb and run against air tons of reps. Best part is your backups will be stud defenders after a half season after manning up on the edges all fsll
