Lincoln Riley Clinic Notes (5-13-20)

Lincoln Riley had a Zoom Clinic last year and had some good information about leadership, advice for the coaching, and RPOs.  I used some of his insight on the Defending RPOs Clinic I did last year too.

·         Counter – can run vs just about anything.  Have to be totally invested in it and create answers vs problems

·         Allows us to be more explosive than Zone Runs

·         Create an environment so good for your Asst’s that they don’t want to leave

·         Ruffin McNeil – one of his best friends, a mentor to him

·         The Standard – he has 12 Pillars – what guys can control

o   Doing your best

o   Let them judge and police themselves

·         Have to personally know your guys to consistently motivate them

·         Have to be creative and mix it up and bring in new voices and your Asst’s to say the same message

·         Advice for 1st yr college Coach – want to get in with the right people (if you can)

o   Do your job

o   Carry yourself like the next guy up on the totem pole: how you dress, how you work

o   Make yourself so valuable that they are scared to lose you

o   Show how you are ready for the next responsibilities—find opportunities in your job to do that

·         WRs – ability to separate, catch the ball, YAC!  Height not that big of a deal

·         RPO – for them it is a tool, nothing more, nothing less.

·         They are not a RPO-based Offense

·         Defenses are reacting slower—trying to muddy reads and controlling where the ball goes

·         Lock you up and make you throw Go routes

·         He likes them but it is something they gameplan and run if conditions are right

·         QB already has so many decisions and sometimes he just want to throw it and then Run it

·         Minimize the # of times you put your QB in a bad situation

·         Muddy reads – slow reacting – go straight at them. Go PA and throw over the top

·         Have to keep your QB healthy

·         If the OL is blocking Run, that isn’t the best Pass Pro—exposes your QB to hits
