former Porterville (CA) High School Head Football Coach, Coach Stewart has used this offensive system to turn around three different schools that had poor records including 0-20, 1-19 and a team that won eight games in the 5 years prior to his arrival. Coach Stewart led each team to the playoffs with in his first two seasons at the helm.
Coach Stewart shows you how to install the Pistol Wing-T system starting in the spring and continuing through summer, fall, and into your season. You will quickly see why, despite having many 2-way starters, his teams finish strong each game without ever running sprints during practice.
This DVD shows annual, monthly, and daily practice plans that are discussed thoroughly so that anyone wishing to install and run the Pistol Wing-T can do so in a relatively easy manner.
Background & Philosophy
Coach Stewart evolved the Pistol Wing-T offense after coaching at four different schools. He has coached at the small, agricultural school with 600 students and no weight room, to the large, rural school of 2,000 students, to his current position at a large, inner city school of 2,000.
Stewart took all four of these schools to the playoffs with this offense and without ever coaching a scholarship player! His proven system works at all levels.
Stewart briefly shares the vision, philosophies, and goals he had to instill at all of these losing programs.
Practice Goals & Considerations
This is the "checklist" of goals and expectations of every practice in regards to turnovers, maximum reps, and conditioning with a purpose. Stewart's linear teaching progression is discussed and he shows how to match the technique to the drill to the play call.
Stewart also shows how to correctly balance full contact with no contact drills. Stewart's practice schedules always contain "hidden" individual time that gives position coaches additional time to teach important techniques.
Off-Season & Spring
Stewart shows how to get a jump on your opponents by starting your teaching after school and in the weight room when your players come back from winter break. He then goes through his day-by-day installation sequence during 10 spring practices. Daily practice schedules are shown, in addition to the sequence of motions, formations, and plays that are installed first.
Summer
Stewart allows for 12 summer practices which balances the demands of multiple-sport athletes and allows for players and coaches to enjoy their summer break. The installation schedule is continued from the spring with the goal of the entire base offense being installed before August. Stewart also shows how to approach 7 on 7 and summer camps.
August
Stewart summarizes the individual and group drills that are explained in the other Pistol Wing-T videos, but here he shows when and where the drills are inserted into the practice schedules. He then goes through his twenty August practices and how he re-installs all of the plays but now adds the "wrinkles" such key breakers, blitz pickup, and use of different formations.
At all of Stewart's coaching stops, most of the players and coaches worked during the day, so he shows a unique way of doing "double practices" without having a morning practice.
Conditioning
The Pistol Wing-T is a fast, explosive offense that requires the ball to be snapped within 3 seconds of breaking the huddle. This puts great pressure on the defense to recognize all the different formations that Stewart uses. It is also an offense designed for the 180 pound guard and 140 pound halfback, so quickness and conditioning are very important components to compete against bigger opponents. Stewart is a master at incorporating conditioning into the entire practice and challenges his athletes both physically and mentally.
In-Season and Playoffs
This section shows how to effectively use your time once school has started and how Coach Stewart uses every assistant coach in weekly game plans. Daily practice schedules are shown and discussed. He then shows how he modifies for league and playoffs so that players do not become burned out or over-fatigued, exposing them to late season injury.
Scouting the Opponent
Stewart quickly shows how his entire staff is utilized in off-season, in-season, and game night scouting. He talks about what he looks for in an opponent when devising his weekly game plan and what every coach is looking for as he calls the plays on Friday night.

Coach Stewart led each team to the playoffs with in his first two seasons at the helm.
Take your Wing-T offense to a whole new level by implementing the Pistol Wing-T. You get the same devastating misdirection found in the conventional Wing-T, with all of the advantages of putting the quarterback in the gun.
Coach Stewart uses a PowerPoint presentation and live demonstrations to teach you all of the new wrinkles, drills and concepts in the exciting Wing-T Pistol offense. You will see the backfield footwork for all the Wing-T running plays, as well as his newest version of motion that sends the wing behind the QB instead in front of him. This change adds more misdirection to the Pistol Wing-T, which will create hesitation in any defense.
Coach Stewart opens with the Buck Sweep and the 32 G.T. emphasizing that the ball never leaves the quarterback's belly and that the running backs are responsible for all fakes. Next Stewart shows you the 36 Down, Veer and the Counter and how the same steps are used by the QB in all the plays. The Belly Series includes the G, 28 Option, 28 G Belly, 33 Belly GT and the 41 Trap. Stewart uses the Midline and Veer series out of the Pistol to put additional pressure on the defense.
Every day drills are highlighted for each position so that you will have an understanding of specific skills needed to run the offense. Adding plays that require similar footwork for the backfield allows you to efficiently install and practice both traditional Wing-T plays along with outside veer, inside veer and midline. Coach Stewart's drills teach:
- Proper backfield alignment for the quarterback and each running back
- The backfield footwork and the coaching points to execute the motion properly to ensure the defense cannot key on one player
- Various running back drills that involve blocking and running with the ball
- How to fake hand-offs and use deception to your advantage
- The "knuckleball" snap that puts the laces into the quarterback's throwing hand for a quick delivery
Practice video is included that shows how Coach Stewart administers each drill and how it is tied to specific plays.
Expertly execute your backfield movements this season with excellent deception and timing!

Rick Stewart does a superb job of teaching coaches how to improve offensive line performance for the Pistol Wing-T. Coach Stewart walks through each blocking technique and then uses practice video to show how he administers each technique using heavy bags.
Stewart shows how to create proper first-step mechanics in your linemen. He preaches the power step and getting the second step on the ground before contact so your linemen can elevate defenders on their third step. His sled progression includes the 1,2,3-Down-Pull & Trap before he finishes with the Sled Drive.
Hand shields are used to simulate the more realistic block on a moving target. The use of double team and combo blocking is shown as well as the Belly Drill. A group work time allows players to work together on all types of combination blocks needed in the Wing-T.
Stewart designs each drill so linemen can respond to both odd and even defensive fronts. He diagrams each technique, drill and play so that players are prepared each week for their next opponent.
For smaller schools he shows how to use half line drills so that you can get every play installed with fewer players.
This is a comprehensive offensive line video that will assist coaches at both the middle school and high school levels.

Rick Stewart uses simple but effective processes for improving quarterback play and his overall passing game.
QB Drills
Coach Stewart provides over 20 drills for you to use to help improve quarterback play in the Pistol Wing-T system. He covers mechanics, pass play footwork, run play footwork and option footwork. Also included are sprint passing techniques, so coaches can improve their play action passing game.
In the Pistol, the quarterback is three yards from the line of scrimmage, so the 1-, 3- and 5-step drops are modified. Stewart explains how and where the quarterback needs to be based on these modifications. He also shows a highly effective approach to finding the open receiver and explains how to teach the quarterback to read defenses.
WR Drills
Coach Stewart's wide receivers drills are a must for any coach who works with receivers. The receiver section contains 15+ drills. The blocking session shows you how receivers stalk and crack. The 2,4,6 and 9 cone drill for receivers is one of the best set of drills a coach can use to work on cuts, chattering down on breaks, and catching the ball.
Stewart does a tremendous job explaining each drill with PowerPoint and practice video.
Group Drills, Simulation Drills, Screen Game, Practice Schedule
In the last section of the video, Coach Stewart gives you quarterback and wide receiver group drills, simulation drills, the screen game and practice schedule. The simulation drill allows quarterbacks to see where receivers will be at end of their routes and where the open windows will be. You'll also learn to execute eight screen plays with just three blocking schemes.
Coaches will find these drills for mechanics and footwork highly effective easy to install into their daily practice schedule.

Coach Stewart led each team to the playoffs with in his first two seasons at the helm.
Coach Stewart uses a power point presentation before showing you practice and game video of his dynamic Pistol Wing-T offense shredding the 4-3 defense. The key in defeating the 4-3 defense is the ability to run the ball from the inside out and putting the safeties in conflict: "Is it run or pass?"
Coach Stewart provides a very detailed plan for attacking the 4-3 defense beginning with off season scouting up to and including your next game. He explains how to scout your opponent from the previous season by identifying returning players and then creating a reaction diagram for each play. Reaction diagrams will help coaches understand who is reading running backs versus linemen. It will also pinpoint alley players and show how safeties are responding to motion and formation alignments. The need for "if then" statements is covered so you can call plays and make game time adjustments effectively.
The Pistol Wing-T allows for a multiple formation attack to force the defense to declare their gap assignments and pass zones. To start the game, Coach Stewart likes to attack the defense from the inside. Coach Stewart explains the G Trap, Gut, Tackle Trap, and Midline, describing when and where to attack the defense. You'll see the best way to gain an advantage on bigger defensive tackles. You'll also learn how to attack the off-tackle hole with various motions and formations, including the G Lead, GT, and Crisscross series.
The 4-3 Defense leaves the flats vulnerable in the Cover 4, so Stewart shows how to take advantage with a variety of sweeps, screens and options. Coaches will find his seven man alignment diagrams useful in deciding whether to initially attack the middle, off tackle or flank of a defense.
The Pistol Wing-T passing game attacks the various coverages and provides for big play potential when the defense over-commits to stop the high powered running game.
This DVD takes the traditional Wing-T to a whole new level, coaches at all levels will benefit from Coach Stewart's insight on attacking the 4-3 defense with the Wing-T Pistol Offense.

If you have struggled to move the ball against the 4-2 and 4-4 defenses, help is on the way! Rick Stewart gives you an attack plan that will allow your team to light up the scoreboard and attack the defense with both the run and the pass.
Starting before the season even begins, Coach Stewart shares his out of season scouting procedure and discusses why it is important to understand how teams are going to defend your offense. This gives you time to plan your attack for each team on your schedule. He also goes over the basics of his Pistol Wing-T offense, describing his terminology and the number system he uses.
Moving to strategy, Coach Stewart shows you an effective way to identify the front of the 4-4 and 4-2-5 defenses. Stewart attacks the 4-2/4-4 defense off tackle first, as he runs at the defensive end and determines his technique. If the end flies up field, you can run the Down, G-Lead and Belly Counter. If the defensive end squeezes and the Outside Backer is reading, the Buck Sweep, Inside and Outside Veer are available options. Stewart covers each possible defensive technique and how he attacks it.
Learn how to attack the flank and how to put the number 4 defender in "conflict." The OLB has to defend the alley and defend the flats. By attacking his assignment with motions and play actions he is in constant conflict. When the middle softens up, you can attack it with the 32 G, the 34 Veer, Option, Fly Sweep, Belly Pass and Down Pass.
Coach Stewart includes his passing game and shows you how he attacks Cover 3, Roll Cover 2 and man-to-man. You'll see a sprint package that gets your QB on the edge with the option to run or pass the ball.
You can combine play action passing and the sprint passing game to attack the defensive zones covered by the OLB and corners or the corners and free safety. You will see each play diagrammed by Stewart along with practice and game footage.
As a bonus, Stewart shares his screens and wrap around draw play rounding out an incredible offensive package!

Coach Stewart led each team to the playoffs with in his first two seasons at the helm.
Rick Stewart gives you a blueprint for defeating the 3-3 defense with the Pistol Wing-T offense.
Wing-T coaches have often struggled versus this defense due to the number of defenders lined up between the offenses tackles. Coach Stewart explains several base alignments you can use against this defense and how you can force the defense to change their alignment by attacking different parts of the field.
The playbook is very similar to the traditional Wing-T, but with the quarterback off the line of scrimmage, the offense presents additional challenges to any defense. Stewart holds nothing back as he presents his concepts on reading defenses and calling plays.
Coach Stewart uses a count system to identify which defenders he will put in conflict. The system used to count and identify each member of the defense will help you decide whether to attack the middle, off tackle or flank of this defense. He diagrams how the eight defenders at Level 1 and 3 typically line up and how to use this information to your advantage. Coach Stewart offers a four part plan for attacking the eight man front.
Coach Stewart explains that you must attack the flanks of the defense early in the game. He describes the formations to use to spread the defense that will create problems for this defense - and how to exploit it. You will see live footage of the Pistol Wing-T and how the entire offense ties together creating a balanced attack.
Stewart uses the option game, Buck Sweep, and the Down and G Belly passes to attack the flank of the defense. The off tackle hole is attacked with the Outside Veer, Down, Buck Down, and the 36 G Lead. When the defense moves outside, you can attack the middle. You'll also see plays to run when the defense is chasing your motion back, which will open up other parts of your offense.
Coach Stewart will make you think about the way you call plays and help you design your offensive scheme so it will attack the weakness not the strength of the defense.

Rick Stewart combines traditional Wing-T concepts with new strategies to create the unique Pistol Wing-T. Coach Stewart details the innovative Pistol Wing-T Offense and shows you where the 7 man front defense is vulnerable - and how to exploit it.
Discover where to attack and when to attack certain areas of the 5-2 defense. Stewart shows you how to attack the flanks of the defense and how to use formations to force defense to adjust to you.
To be successful, you will need to put the safety in conflict. To do that, Stewart covers the Belly Option, Belly Pass, G Sweep, Fly Sweep, and down pass. Force your opponent to adjust to you using the Outside Veer, the Down, and the G Lead. All of these plays are explained with power point and on the field.
Once you have forced the defense to adjust to your flank and off-tackle attack, Coach Stewart shows you how to attack the middle of the defense.
When the safeties come down too quickly it opens up the play action passing game. Stewart employs the sprint passing game with play action and drop-back passing to attack the two safety look. As a bonus he shares his thoughts on attacking chase motion and the use of trick plays in attacking the 3-4/5-2 defense. If you are currently running the Wing-T or have to defend someone running it, this video is a must.
The bonus side of the passing attack is that lineman don't have to learn a complex set of rules or techniques in the Pistol Wing-T passing game. Stewart explains the Trap, On, Belly, Belly Wham and the Veer to the tight end and away from the tight end. Plus a few wrinkles on how to run the option.
This season, attack the 3-4 and 5-2 with confidence!

Revitalized football programs at three separate high schools. McFarland improved from 0-24 to a playoff team in their second year. Corkrin improved from 0-27 to undefeated league champions in their second year. Porterville improved from winning 8 games total over their last 5 seasons to winning 40 games in their next 5 seasons and back-to-back championships.
The Pistol Wing-T can accommodate programs that aren't fortunate enough to have a big time player at quarterback every season. However, make no mistake, the quarterback is the key to making this offense run. You need a savvy player with the unselfishness and intelligence to consistently make the plays that will get you the most yards.
Rick Stewart believes that if you can find the person with the right character traits, you can develop the athletic qualities they need to excel at the quarterback position. This video will show you the footwork for different Wing-T run plays, throwing mechanics with footwork, reads a quarterback must make, and practice drills needed to produce the caliber of quarterback who can lead your team to victory.
Running Game Footwork
Coach Stewart breaks down the intricacies to the footwork and technique needed by your backfield players to execute the Pistol Wing-T running game. Using PowerPoint diagrams and player demonstration, you will learn how to perform the steps, fakes, and hand-offs in the plays within the Buck, Belly, Down, Jet, and Veer families. You will see how these plays can be run under center or from the Pistol formation. Mastering these techniques will help your backfield maximize their speed and deception to pressure the defense.
Passing Game Mechanics
The Wing-T offense is brought to life by a quarterback who can distribute the ball through the passing game. Learn how help your quarterbacks perfect their throwing mechanics through a variety of breakdown drills. Over 20 drills will instill confidence in your players so they can operate with the ball in their hands.
These drills help by isolating specific aspects of the throwing motion, such as wrist and elbow mechanics and throwing from different body angles. You will also see the footwork for dropping back various distances as well as throwing on the run with proper sprint mechanics.
Coach Stewart uses diagrams, explanations, and video to demonstrate footwork for quarterbacks and running backs. He uses familiar language of the Wing-T used by Delaware, who made Wing-T play calling famous. Coach Stewart also explains how he has changed the language to fit his high school program.
Developing the type of quarterback who will one day be able to lead your team is an investment. Coach Stewart walks you through the details to each of the four phases of his year-round practice plan and discusses how your quarterbacks should read a variety of defensive coverages based on the type of passing play you want to run.

If you find that your team is regularly outmatched, winning a football game can be a real challenge. Rick Stewart is a master of helping teams with losing traditions turn their programs around. He has lead three separate high school programs through transitions from perennial losers into playoff-caliber squads.
In this video, Coach Stewart will provide you a detailed overview of the Pistol Wing-T system that has lead to his repeated successes. This up-tempo offense combines a powerful running attack, misdirection, and passing game to score - even against opponents with superior talent. From the advantages and disadvantages to running the Pistol Wing-T, to the attributes of different positions within the offense, to the technique of snapping the ball, Coach Stewart spares no detail in sharing what makes this system work.
Run Family
See how Coach Stewart organizes his plays into three main "families:" Belly, Buck and Down. Each has the ability to take advantage of a common blocking scheme while still having the flexibility to get the ball to each of your backfield players and attack the defense in a number of ways. This creates a system of "if-then" scenarios where you can always make the defense wrong with the tactics they attempt to use against you. Game film from a variety of schools that have already embraced the Pistol Wing-T revolution will introduce you to some of the plays within the system.
"Look-a-Like" Formations
Coach Stewart shares the importance of "look-a-like" motions and blocking schemes that allow for multiple plays from the same formations, making defensive game preparation and reads difficult.
Learn how to confuse the defense with the combination of 15 different formations and up-tempo huddle system. Through visualizations using PowerPoint, player demonstration, and computer simulation, Coach Stewart demonstrates how to huddle players so they can quickly run a play within seconds. Essential details like the fast timing of the snap count and sending players into motion confuse the defense and make it hard for your opponent to run many blitzes or different packages against you. Coach Stewart shows you how the pace can be accelerated even further with a no huddle system.
Communication
A system for clearly communicating all of the intricacies of the offense to your players is critical. Coach Stewart utilizes schematics and game film throughout the video to demonstrate how he has changed the Wing-T terminology to simplify play calls for the high school athlete. You will see how plays are signaled from the sideline to players in both huddle and no huddle situations. He continues this simplification by demonstrating and explaining the most efficient huddle strategy for deception and conflict with his easy-to-learn play calling system.
Coach Stewart teaches you all of the terminology that is needed to call out formations, play families, blocks, routes, and more for every snap of the ball. He will walk you through the creation of a play with diagrams that visualize each of his verbal calls.
Additionally, Coach Stewart provides you with a value system of different positions in the offense, along with the required traits for each position. This helps less experienced coaches assign the best players for every position, rather than the stereotypical body types for the various positions.
Make your opponents work twice as hard and put more tallies in the win column for your team with Rick Stewart's Pistol Wing-T offense!

FD-04945D: with Rick Stewart,
former Porterville (CA) High School Head Football Coach;
Revitalized football programs at three separate high schools. McFarland improved from 0-24 to a playoff team in their second year. Corkrin improved from 0-27 to undefeated league champions in their second year. Porterville improved from winning 8 games total over their last 5 seasons to winning 40 games in their next 5 seasons and back-to-back championships.
"We had three teams win state championships this year (2015) running this offense. There are 80 teams - that I know of - who've made the playoffs. We have made significant updates to this offense since our videos were first released in 2012."
Rick Stewart
"In one season we improved from 1,780 total offensive yards to 4,433 by implementing the Pistol Wing-T. I attribute all of the success we had to following the practice plans, rules, and procedures that are laid out in the manuals and DVDs."
Eddie Cunningham, Offensive Coordinator
Fayetteville High School (TN)
Rick Stewart shares how to make your playbook look impossibly big through changes in formations and incorporating tactics such as motions, shifts, combo plays and false keys. Additionally, you will learn how to handle special situations with short yardage plays and Coach Stewart's personal library of trick plays.
These components are something you can add over multiple seasons as your program continues to master their understanding of the Pistol Wing-T offense.
Motions, Shifts and Trick Plays
You will see whiteboard diagrams, computer simulations, player demonstrations, and game film that help you visualize the blocking assignments and reads necessary to make these plays work.
- Formations - You will learn how to sprint out of the huddle into 15 different formations that help gain easy yardage off of defenses that cannot adjust quickly enough. Running the same plays out of these different formations expands your playbook and makes it impossible for opponents to adequately prepare for you in only a few days.
- Short Yardage Plays - Every coach needs reliable options to punch the ball through the defense for those situations with 1-2 yards to go. Coach Stewart shows five plays in the "Thumper" and "Tubby" formations to help you claim those precious yards.
- Motions & Shifts - This additional layer of pre-snap movements will make your offense unpredictable. The defense will be in a state of confusion as they try to match up to multiple formations and players in motion before the ball snaps. Putting players in motion will also give you a tool for studying how the defense adjusts and can help you find weaknesses to exploit over the course of the game.
- False Keys - Defenses that are coached well will have certain reads they will execute flawlessly. Mixing in false keys with your guards will make the defense second guess their reads and can open up holes for defenders that continue to bite on misdirections.
- Trick Plays - Coach Stewart shows you the best trick plays he has collected over his career to give you an arsenal of nine plays that will help you pick up big yards in clutch situations. These trick plays give you a diverse number of options to attack the defense in ways that the opponent will never see coming.
- Read Plays & No Huddle Audibles - These plays allows you to quickly line up so the quarterback can read the defense and decide how to attack.
- Combo Plays - For the advanced Pistol Wing-T coach, Coach Stewart shows you how to merge your favorite play actions to attack the defense on either side of the line of scrimmage. Based on reading the defense in 10 different plays, you can run or pass in either direction within the same play!
Adding these extra features to your Pistol Wing-T offense will dramatically increase the stress levels of opposing coaches!
"Coach Stewart does an amazing job sharing his bag of tricks in this video. I walked way entire impressed with how complete this offensive system feels with all of these additional components that can really take your Wing T system to the next level. For anyone looking to run this offense, this video did not feel like an optional purchase at all!" - Customer Review
