Mike Popovich, Head Football Coach at  .....Mt Zion HS Decatur IL  is the guest on this edition of Coaches' Corner.     Popovich, who previously served as the Offensive  Coordinator with the US Army Sprint team , discusses the Tony Franklin system. With its roots in the Air Raid  Offense, the Franklin system is gaining in popularity with High School and College programs across the country for its explosiveness, fast-paced play, and ability to light up the scoreboard.  A great  show that you will not want to miss.

The discussion includes an overall introduction to the Tony Franklin System, route concepts like 4 Verts and Streaks, Shallow, Mesh and Spacing. 

Popovich came to West Point after serving as an assistant coach for six years as the Head Coach at Bunker Hill High School in Illinois for two years. As head coach, Popovich led the Bunker Hill Minutemen to their first winning season and first playoff appearance in program history.  Popovich left Bunker Hill as the winningest coach in program history. In his first season as Army's offensive coordinator the Black Knights averaged a CSFL-best 430 yards per game and 37.3 points per game  and routinely produced 400+ yards of Offense per game.
