April 16, 2025
Video Description:
In this video, I break down how to run the Midline Triple Option against a 4-3 defense with a 1-tech and 4i-tech defensive front. Learn how to identify the dive and pitch keys, how to handle the interior alignment, and how to attack the defense with precision. This is a must-watch for coaches running Flexbone or any option-based offense looking to beat even fronts with interior variations.
Before the 2010 season, Falls City HS (TX) had never won a regional championship in school history.
In 2010, after running a camp with Lou Cella as Camp Director, Falls City HS (TX) won the Regional and State Championship for the first time in school history in Texas while scoring 680 points in 15 games.
“The biggest thing for us is that it gave our kids the opportunity to work together in our offensive system before the season started – the techniques and fundamentals they learned was so big, so was the team bonding, and so was having an outside source (Lou Cella) teaching them – this was invaluable.”
– Mark Kirchhoff, Head Football Coach
In 2015, after running a camp with Dr. Lou Cella as Camp Director, Odessa-Harrington (WA) scored 508 points in 11 games, averaged 46 points/game, made it to the second round of the Washington State Playoffs, and did all this with a roster of 20 players.
“Dr. Cella is an absolutely fantastic instructor of triple-option football who taught our players as if he were coaching his own team. From the very beginning of camp he arrived with an enthusiasm, excitement and a passion for football that was infectious for our entire team and coaching staff.
– Jeff Nelson, Head Football Coach
