A Head Coach’s Introduction to Under-Center Flexbone Football

A Head Coach’s Introduction to Under-Center Flexbone Football

 
 

You know the problem.

Your roster is what it is. You’re not getting 40 new kids next fall. Your linemen go both ways. Your best athlete might be a quarterback — or he might be your free safety.

And everyone’s telling you to run what’s “trendy.”

But here’s the truth: Trendy doesn’t win at 2 a.m. when you’re breaking down film. Trendy doesn’t put points on the board when you’re down to 16 kids. Trendy doesn’t give you a system that works year after year regardless of who walks through the door.

What wins is what works.

In 2022, after working with Dr. Cella, Wyman King Academy goes to the South Carolina State Championship game. "We dressed 14 players for the majority of the season (one player quit after 2 games and we moved our 8th grade players up during the postseason). "Of those 14, 7 different players scored a touchdown. And none of those were 'manufactured' by getting to the goal line and then playing a player out of position just to score a touchdown. "6 of those 7 scored 5 or more touchdowns. "We had 528 rushes and 36 receptions on the season. Total of 564 'touches.' "The same 7 players accounted for all 564 touches. The lowest number was 5, but above him was a player with 39 and the other 5 players had 80 or more touches. "I think the takeaway for us, and especially small schools like us, is that if you practice running the plays all week from the QB, A back, B back, and TE positions you can expect to see the ball on a Friday night. "If you love under center option based football, or if you are in need of implementing a system that will maximize the potential of your players, we recommend giving Dr. Cella a call. He is passionate about this style of offense, stays current on all the best practices, and lays out a program that covers all the bases. "However, the main reason we recommend becoming one of his clients has to do with his accessibility. Over the last six months each time I called, emailed, or sent him a text, I received a very prompt reply. The questions I had covered a range of topics such as in-season weight training ideas, pregame warmup routines, or the teaching of a specific fundamental. With each situation, he provided quality information in a timely manner. "In life we need people we can depend on. Dr. Cella promises to be there for his clients and he is true to his word. His approach, without question, enabled us to get the most out of our talent." - Dennis Gibson, Offensive Coordinator

The Flexbone Triple Option is the most misdirection, ball-control, clock-killing offense in football. It takes what you have — not what you wish you had — and turns it into points. Fast.

I’m Dr. Lou Cella. For 15 years, I’ve helped high school head coaches just like you:

  • Tyrone (OK): 5–5 to State Champion in one season
  • Falls City (TX): First regional and state title in school history
  • Haverford (PA): 1–9 to 11–2, school record for wins
  • Pamlico County (NC): 108 points to 508 points in one year

This isn’t theory. It’s a system. You get the installation. You get the practice plans. You get me on call 24/7.

You want to win next fall? We start now.

Let’s talk.
