Overview of the Gun T - Perfect material to decide if this system is right for your team.

Personnel Choices — What to do with the hand your dealt

Base Packages — How to work packages

Game Clips of film of the offense

What to do next

If the system looks like a fit for your kids, the Gun T RPO Playbook is the starting point, and you can install off that one book without buying anything else.

When you are ready to get those calls to your players on Friday, the Gun T Offensive Wristband Template prints four matching bands off one page. You type the plays once and the other three fill in on their own.

What do you think about when designing a gameplan? Calling plays? Making adjustments? How do you utilize shifts/motions and why?

Coach Simpson goes through all these scenarios in this PPT.

Game clips, play call sheet and why he uses them included.

Buck Sweep RPO — Huge powerpoint presentation given at multiple clinics that will show 8 different RPOs and how to install the buck sweep to maximize it’s effectiveness.

Coach Simpson goes though why trades/shifts/motions can help your offense. He also shows how he uses simple terminology to move.

Coach Simpson’s answers to the different looks a defense may throw at him when he runs buck sweep.

Format: PowerPoint (.pptx), 74 slides with 40 game clips built in. Updated for 2026 with our newest film.

Our goal is to have a run/pass option every time we run strong. The RPO game protects our runs from defenses trying to gain numbers, creates explosive plays when the defense over-commits, and lets us read as many defenders as our QB can handle. This is the clinic talk on how we do it.

It covers bubble and fast, Peek (with X, Y and B Peek), Y and B Pop, Key for the QB who is a better runner than thrower, the Steal call against three-man fronts, Y Chute out of our over sets, and read routes. Every one has the teaching points, the drawing off Buck and game film.

Who it is for: Gun T coaches, or anybody with a gap-scheme run game, who want to protect their base runs without adding a pile of new plays.

What to do next

For the answers when the defense adjusts to all of this, get IF-THEN: Building an Offense. Every RPO we run is written up in the Gun T RPO Playbook.

Coach Simpson’s Double Handoff is a great counter for the buck sweep. Here are the different ways he runs the same blocking scheme with different backfield actions.

Includes:
Base Double Hand-off

QB Read

Shuffle Pass

Triple Option

This powerpoint discusses the same play - BUCK SWEEP - run through multiple looks to create issues for the defense.

13 different sets or shifts to create issues for the defense.

No RPO’s simply using formations to create the ability to run the ball.

Coach Simpson walks through his heavy package.

This PPT will give you alignment, game film and philosophy on how he runs “Heavy”. His teams have been 92% conversion on 3/4 and 2 or less using this set.

It has also accounted for 65 touchdowns the last four seasons as well.

Coach Simpson gives how he adjusts his game plan, how he works with players, etc… to learn the most important situations in the game.

Most staffs break down an opponent by everybody watching the same film and then arguing about it Sunday night. You end up with a lot of notes, a call sheet nobody quite trusts, and two coaches who watched the same tape and saw two different games.

This is how we do it, laid out as a presentation you can walk your staff through. What to look for, how to split the work so each coach owns a piece instead of all of you doing the same job twice, and which things actually change what you call on Friday as opposed to the things that just fill up a scouting report.

Who it is for: head coaches and coordinators who have a staff and want everybody breaking down film the same way.

What it is not: it is not film study software and it is not a fill-in-the-blank scouting report. It is the method behind one.

What to do next

• The template that goes with it: Scouting Report Format
• Organizing the rest of the week: Head Coach Workbook
• Turning the breakdown into calls: The Playcaller's Guide

Using bunch trips to run the Gun-T.

Power-point has multiple clips, drawings and a link to an 8-minute overview video of how we have used this set to create issues for the defense.

This set has paired perfectly with our base looks and we feel we can run 95% of our offense from the same look.

Presentation given at the Alabama Spread Clinic in 2020. Details how we installed the 3-4 defense. Choosing the right personnel, hiding weak links, what to teach as “base”

What to do next

This presentation is the overview. The 34 Fit and Swarm Defensive Overview Book is the complete breakdown of the same defense.

If you are building this week’s plan, the 34 Swarm Defensive Call Sheet is the sheet I call games off. It is laid out by down and distance against four formations and it ships with my Swarm calls already filled in.

Coach Simpson walks through defensive practice schedule:

Daily drills

Pod work

Tackling for positions

Situational work

Film during practice….

And more

Working to maximize the blitz. Coach Simpson gave this presentation at the Alabama Spread Clinic in 2020. How to get pressure without having to dial up blitzes.

Teaching the bucksweep from the blocking scheme’s to the RPO’s that pair nice with it. This 23 minute video will cover:

1) 3 blocking drills for linemen - Concept and film of the drills

2) Key point for running backs

3) 5 Different RPO’s taught with coaching points and game film

Format: a 4 minute video, digital download. Free.

Most buck sweep problems are not scheme problems. The play is drawn right and the reads are right, and it still gets walled off, because the guard is late pulling or the back is running to a spot instead of running off a block. That does not get fixed on the board, it gets fixed in individual period.

This is three drills you can put in this week to clean that up. Four minutes, and you will know what goes in tomorrow's practice plan.

Who it is for: any coach running buck sweep, at any level. You do not have to run the Gun T to use these.

What it is not: it is not an install video. It does not teach you the buck sweep, the blocking rules, or the RPO tags off it. It assumes you already run the play and want your kids to run it better.

What to do next

• Learning the play from scratch: Complete Guide to Buck Sweep from the Gun
• Play is sound but defenses have an answer: 3 main problems with Buck and solutions, also free
• Building the whole offense around it: Gun T RPO Playbook

This is the packet and format Coach Simpson used as he raised over $1.5 million for school facilities without using any district money. Gives a great framework for raising money.

Format: Editable Word document (.docx), 46 pages, prints on standard letter paper.

This is the manual our staff at Southside is working from in 2026. It isn't a template somebody made up for a book. The names are real, the dates are real, and the jobs are the ones our coaches are doing this season.

Every section comes in two pages. The first is our page, how we set up that part of the program with our staff's names and dates. The page right behind it is a blank card for the same section, so you can type your own staff's names and dates right on the lines, change any label that doesn't fit, and print it. When you get to the back, you have your own manual. If you'd rather edit our pages directly, every word of those is editable too.

The 20 sections: schedules, head coach goals and academics, theme of the week and program goals, staff standards, practice expectations, coaching requirements, emergency action plan, summer program, the off-season year from December to August, practice duties, game day duties, halftime organization, staff roles, coaching responsibilities coach by coach, the typical in-season week, film breakdown, the game day timeline and pre-game waves, JV, JH and 7th grade, rules and punishments, and lock-up and summer duties.

Who it is for: Head coaches building or rebuilding a staff manual, first-year head coaches who want to see how a program is organized on paper, and coordinators who want their side of the program written down.

What to do next: If you want to start with one piece, some of the blank cards are free on their own, like the Game Day Duties Card, the Pre-Game Timeline Card and the Staff Expectations Card. If you want the whole job of running a program written down, grab the Head Coach Workbook.

Practice Format for team that is able to platoon.
