Why coaches come back

Reasons To Build Your Program On This Library

Coach Campbell has spent five decades installing, fixing and re-installing football. What you get here is not theory — it is the working material of a head coach, written down.

Glazier Academics

Material shaped by nearly two decades on the Glazier Clinics national circuit, in front of rooms full of working coaches.

Coaching Resources

Manuals, playbooks and DVDs covering every phase — offense, defense, kicking game and program organization.

Glazier Clinics

Fifteen to twenty coaches speak at roughly thirty-five events a year nationwide. Coach Campbell is one of them.

Structured Programs

Every title follows an install order — base, adjustments, fundamentals, stunts and coverages — so you can teach it in sequence.

Watch The Install Before You Teach It

Clinic-floor breakdowns of the same schemes the manuals install — offense, defense and the kicking game, taught in the order you would put them into a practice script.

All Videos

Installing The Option Game

The read, the pitch relationship and the blocking rules — taught in the same order the option playbook installs them, so a staff can teach it in sequence.

Multiple Fronts: 3.3.5 And 4.2.5

Two fronts, one personnel group. How the defensive manuals move between a three-man and a four-man surface without re-teaching the coverage behind it.

The Pistol Wing-T

Classic Wing-T series run out of the pistol backfield — buck sweep, trap and waggle with the quarterback four yards deep and the same reads intact.

The philosophy

Why These Football Coaching Books Matter

Fifty years in it

Coach Campbell has been around football as a player and a coach for 50+ years — and hopes he has 50 more left.

Loyalty amongst staff

Putting others before yourself and sticking with them in good times and bad, while keeping healthy boundaries.

Adapt to your players

What matters is a coach's ability to adapt to his players' skills and abilities. It is not about you, the coach.

On and off the field

It is about the athletes we have been entrusted to coach, and helping them well beyond Friday night.

“Coaches, if I can be of help at any time, reach out to me on the Coach Campbell Football Forum. Thank you — and enjoy the journey!”

Most titles are delivered as PDF eBooks you can read on any device and print for your staff. A number of the larger manuals are also offered as print editions, and multi-title eBook bundles collect the full offensive library in one purchase.

Youth, middle school, high school and college coaches at every level of experience. A first-year assistant can use them to learn an install from the ground up; a veteran coordinator can use them to add a front, a coverage or a run-pass option package to what is already in place.
