The Slide Concept (PRO--Pass, Run Option) is an easy concept to teach at any level and provides opportunities to get the ball in space to your best players.

Darrin Chiaverini was an Offensive Analyst at UCLA when he presented his Glazier Drive clinic: Slide Concept out of the Pro Spread Offense

He is currently the head coach at Northeastern State University.


It is important that your players know if you are running an RPO or a PRO.

For an RPO, you are looking to run the football, but will check to the pass if the numbers dictate that.

For a PRO, you are looking to pass first and will run the ball if that is where the defense is more vulnerable.

The install teaching progression that Coach Chiaverini follows is 
1) Assignment
2) Alignment
3) Technique
4) Execution
5) Finish
