Coach Rich Hargitt, an innovative leader in the Run Pass Option Offense (RPO), covers the “Window Dressing for RPO.” Coach Hargitt outlines how to attack the holes in the defense while also forcing the defense to defend the entire field. Hargitt also shows how the RPO can reduce turnovers, increase tempo on offense, and how to attack defensive formations, while disguising offensive plays. Coach Hargitt includes film and play diagrams to support his RPO formations and play calling. By utilizing an “Easy to Run, Hard to Defend” offense, Hargitt shows how all coaches can implement the RPO to be successful.
Topics covered include:
• Developing the RPO for your personnel

• Reducing turnovers
• Attacking the blitz
