Summary: Good intro book
Comment: I bought this book expecting to get a football playbook. Well, I got some football plays, but not a full playbook. If you're new to football then this book would be for you. I got what I was looking for in www.totalplaybook.com . They offer a pretty solid offensive and defensive playbook. If you are a rookie then get this book, but for us veterans the www.totalplaybook.com or equivalant is more our speed...

Summary: Outstanding Guide to Great Plays
Comment: Dee Hawkes does a great service to all coaches with this compilation of the best offensive plays in current use. He also provides a handy "play finder" section for quick reference.
Plays are broken down by type (off-tackle, options, quick passes, etc.), and by formation (predominantly I formation, but with a healthy mix of single back/spread, Wing-T, veer and even wishbone). Hawkes also makes it easy to locate plays by each coach who submitted them.
And what a group of coaches -- the greatest offensive minds in college and high school football for the last 20 years are represented here. Cross-referencing plays among coaches reveals insights into the differences a seemingly minor blocking variation can make in the success or failure of a play.
Highly recommended.

Summary: This is NOT a playbook!
Comment: This book is a collected work of the most successful football plays from a variety of systems. If you purchase this book, as I did, looking for a PLAYBOOK you will be sorely disapointed.
The individual plays are well diagrammed and explained, as well as the philosophy behind their use, but there is no consistency within the book. You could not, for example, take this document to your football practice and install the plays with your high school team and expect to have a successful offense.
Rather, if you are running an offense SIMILAR to the offense of one of the coaches who contributed to the book, then you may find ONE OR TWO plays that you can add to your existing system. This is a far cry from being a "playbook" as the title claims.
I do not recommend this book for any coach below the high school level, or for parents wishing to learn the sport better. You will only be confused.
