What coaches are saying:
John Rose was my offensive line coach at Creston/Orient-Macksburg High School for 30 years. I consider John to be a football intellectual. His ability to scheme and make the finished product understandable to high school athletes is outstanding. This book details a system of line play which was largely responsible for any success we had with the Creston/OM high school program over the years.
