Back in my coaching days (2007), I shared an office with a former Offensive coach from Southlake Carroll. He was our OC at a 2A Texas High School and he was a class A-*******. Right before two-a-days started he asked me to make a couple of copies of our playbook, and told me he had left it on his desk in a binder.

I went in to our office, grabbed the green binder and went to the copy room. Lo and behold, it was the Southlake Carroll playbook that Todd Dodge had crafted many a teams into a juggernaut offense. So I made a copy.

Went back to our office and then saw "our" playbook, and went and made copies of it as requested. I've kept the Southlake playbook ever since then.

Seems like now is the best time to throw my hat in the ring for our OC position. Do I just show up at Kyle or should I call ahead first?

I'd be interested in pdf of this.

Well, it's almost 200 pages, some double sided, of everything from the way to warm up, to blocking schemes against every conceivable defense, and a whole lot of plays. I don't have the time, patience, or energy to scan it.

IT only works if you son can projectile vomit and throw a TD pass in the same play.

If a guy named Red Beaulieu shows up to take it away from you, don't give it up without a fight.

I went to school with and am still friends with Riley. I'm telling on you.

Please do. Maybe he'll autograph it for me.

Also, " The statute of limitations is set at five years in Texas for the following crimes: Theft or robbery, kidnapping or burglary, injury to elderly or disabled individuals that is not a felony, abandoning or endangering a child and insurance fraud. Other felonies have a three-year statute of limitations in place."

I was only joking. Even if I told him he'd laugh it off and jokingly ask for it for his offense. (he's the current HC at SLC)

I figured you were kidding, as this playbook has been in the hands of who knows how many people over the years.

Coincidentally, we were visiting Caddo Mills in 2007 and they let us use their JV locker room. I went in early to help set up the boards and training table and one of their players had left their weekly practice plan and playbook adjustments for our game.

I grabbed it, handed it to our DC, and we promptly lost 44-0. Thank God we had their playbook and plan against us, or we would have lost way worse.

'03 Katy v Southlake remains the best pure football game I've ever seen. The clashing of old-school ball control rushing vs. air raid 5-wide.

I was at that game at the Alamodome. Super fun to watch. Sad at the result though. I'd have to go with SLC v Trinity in 2007 at old Texas Stadium. Both defending state champs with opposite styles of offense. Easily 55k+ on hand and that result I enjoyed much more.

Green playbook you say?

Southlake beat two future pro QBs in state championship games: Andy Dalton from Katy and Nick Foles at Westlake.

Not sure Southlake will ever get the horses to win state again as Duncanville, DeSoto and North Shore have really ramped up their programs and talent levels

With 20 years (yikes) to reflect on it, Southlake had to have about 10 things not go their way that day in '03 in order to lose.

What really sticks from my memory is that they hadn't been challenged late into a game in years - through no fault of their own and it sort of showed on special teams. They had a punt blocked late in the third quarter to fall behind 9-7. I'm sure the number of times they had punted from their own end zone tied in the third quarter was zero that year.

Then with 3-4 minutes left, Garret Hartley, who had a great career in college and the pros, and was already hitting field goals from 60 yards, lined up for a 45-yarder that would have made it 18-9, but he shanked it wide left.. Same thing though. When you're up 45-3 every week, it's easy to relax and try and hit a 50-yarder. When it's the end of the title game and you know if you miss the other team has a legit shot to beat you, the nerves set in.

That one loss by one point kept SLC from winning 5 straight 5A titles. Incredible effort either way.

Love the pun. The plan they had to beat us was exactly what they executed against us. That was a sad Friday night.

You can put the whole stack on top of a modern xerox machine, set it to double sided, put in an email address, and hit scan. It will scan the whole stack into pdf for you and email to the address you entered. This isn't 1990.

His Offenses generally did well. The defense…not so much.

Not the fancy-smancy thermal fax machine that has the warm fax paper in small rolls all over the floor when completed?

I worked in the SID department of Rice University once and we'd come to work on Monday mornings to see the office floor just buried in that stuff.

We just got rid of one dinosaur of a play caller.

Why would we want another one?

I went K-12 at Southlake, so I've seen some epic games in my day. But as far as what I've seen in person, the '02 game against Lufkin would certainly be up there. Dragons were down 2 or 3 scores in the second half and came back to win. They went on to win their first 5A state title that year.

understood

What chapter covers how to bleach your hair?

I'll forever despise Todd Dodge. My nephew played for him at Marble Falls. My nephew and one other guy were about the only guys on defense making plays. Nephew had 22 tackles. During what proved to be the game winning drive my nephew hit their rb, both helmets flew off, the rb stayed down, nephew got up stumbling, obviously concussed. He staggered off the field without anyone from the sidelines helping him or checking him once he got to the sidelines. Two plays later Dodge is screaming at him to get back out on the field.

How does a high school "ramp up" their talent level? Their pool of players seems limited by boundaries.
