2024 NFL & College - Head coaching changes
FBS: Offensive Coordinator Tracker | Defensive Coordinator Tracker
NFL Staff Tracker Pages:
Bears | Cowboys | Jaguars | Jets | Patriots
3-Puller Pin & Pull - Solving Your Wide Zone Problems vs. 3-Tech Defenders: North Carolina Central's staff cracked the code on running into 3-man surfaces without getting destroyed by dominant 3-techs. Their solution? A modified 3-puller pin and pull scheme that averaged 180 yards rushing per game last season. Their approach flips conventional pin and pull wisdom on its head, eliminating the common frustrations of backs outrunning pullers and defenders blowing up your backside. Better yet, it's built to adapt – whether you're facing 9-techs, getting mesh-charged, or need to attack 2-man surfaces. The best part? It's easy to install. X&O Labs has the complete breakdown, including alignment keys, coaching points, and game film that shows exactly how they're doing it. See the full system here.
