On this Best of 2025 episode of the Coach and Coordinator Network, we revisit one of the year’s most impactful conversations from Alert the Post, featuring Los Angeles Rams offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur. The episode stood out for its clear, practical breakdown of how modern NFL offenses create clarity for quarterbacks and skill players amid increasingly complex defensive structures.

LaFleur explains how offensive structure — ranging from progression philosophy to run-game efficiency and play-action design helps players process faster, play with confidence, and execute consistently. Rather than emphasizing volume or complexity, the conversation highlights why clarity and shared teaching language matter more than carrying more plays.

Hosted by Bobby Peters, the discussion focuses on why concepts work, not just what they look like on the board, making it especially valuable for coaches at every level seeking to translate pro-level ideas into teachable systems.

This Best of 2025 re-air also coincides with the release of the Coach and Coordinator AI Alert the Post Decision-Making Companion — a tool built entirely from Alert the Post conversations to help coaches evaluate structure, spacing, leverage, and quarterback decision-making. For coaches pursuing cleaner offense, better communication, and faster decisions, this episode is an essential listening.
