Today on Coach and Coordinator Podcast, we welcome Southwestern University's head coach, Joe Austin, onto the program. With the help of his longtime friend and current offensive coordinator Tom Ross, Coach Austin helped develop the Tex-Bone Offense. A combination of the triple option and spread offenses, Coach Austin has adapted the power run technique of the triple option to modern football. Spread formations allow easier reads for the offense, and Coach Austin takes advantage of that in his hybrid offensive attack.
