The Coach Who Never Punts: incredible coaching strategy, and it works!

Hire this guy, immediately...

If everyone onside kicked after every score, how long until the NCAA / NFL banned onside kicks?

They aren't right now, so let's be the first.

Does Pulaski have better players than everybody else? I can see Alabama getting away with this because they are so much better than everybody else. But I'm not sure Tech could pull it off.

That would be the only drawback, you MUST have players that can run this system perfectly every single time.

The Parkway coach doesn't punt either.

After Parkway mysteriously tried to convert a fourth-and-14 from its own 21, Byrd took the lead on a 3-yard Starks run.

PA just believes they can outscore the other team.

That's just dumb. This whole strategy of "never punting" is just dumb. It smacks of small-time gimmickry.

PA just believes they can outscore the other team.

....which means they are probably capable of out-scoring the other team anyway, without resorting to gimmickry and silliness.

So was the Wildcat and hurry-up offense at one time... Football changes man.

Combine the no punting offense with the three QB offense.

Dumb for a college team with decent punting a kicking. PA is a highschool. The coach explained it pretty well. On kickoffs the opposing team got the ball on the 33 on average. On an onside kick the opposing team got the ball at the 47 if they recovered. A 14 yard difference. PA recovered the onside kick 20% of the time. It was worth taking the risk over 14 yards. It was a similar situation with punting.

This wouldn't work in college if a team has decent punting and kicking. The yardage difference between an kick vs. onside or punt vs. going for it is greater, I assume.

This is an example of the type of coach we need though. We don't need coaches who bang their head against the wall, walk around with a cane exclaiming "Football is won with players (T1), seniors (T1), defense (every football fan over 50), a full back (diito) and defense. We don't need all these numbers and stuff. God invented football so we could play defense. Just look at Alabama. We need to hire somebody in Saban's coaching tree: special teams and defense. Geaux Holtz geaux!"
