Wyoming's packaged plays: Nike COY clinic

It's the offseason, so that means one thing for any self-respecting coach: clinics. I spent March 1st and 2nd in Portland at the Nike Coach of the Year clinic. This is the largest clinic on the West Coast and quite frankly the only option for West Coast coaches. This is my third year at this clinic and this year was the best by far. Some great talks with some great coaches, both at the college and high school level, and I learned a ton. As such, I thought I would write about each session here. I will start with a presentation by Wyoming HC Dave Christensen and do another one every few days or so.

Going into this presentation, I was excited. Not for the topic, which was "Wyoming Offense", but because coach Christensen had well-publicized breakdown against Air Force last season, and I was curious to see what kind of person he is. Wyoming is certainly not known as a juggernaut, but has snagged a couple of bowl wins over the last few years and is an up and coming program.

You like packaged plays, flyboy?
