30 Years of Offensive Evolution with Idaho OC Ian Shoemaker | Ep. 79
Idaho offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Ian Shoemaker joins The Left Hash Call to break down nearly 30 years of building and evolving college offenses.Shoemaker dives into his offensive philosophy, why true balance is about what a defense has to prepare for, how he marries the run game with RPOs and play action, and why tempo is much more than simply playing fast.We also get into the evolution of RPO football, developing quarterbacks, coaching Walter Payton Award winner Eric Barriere at Eastern Washington, his time at Grand Valley State and Hawaii, what being a head coach taught him about calling plays, and how he is building the offense at Idaho.Plus, Shoemaker explains how he installs tempo, approaches opening drives, uses helmet communication, and why the best coaches have to adapt how they teach to the players in their room.This is a deep dive into offensive football, quarterback development, play calling and nearly three decades of lessons from one of college football’s most experienced offensive minds.
