Statistical History of the West Coast Offense

From its '80s golden age, or the dominance it enjoyed throughout the '90s and '00s, right up to the present day, the West Coast Offense has consistently been one of the most successful offensive schemes in football. Whether it was Joe Montana showcasing Walsh's invention as the revolutionary approach to football that it was in the '80s, or the success of Mike Holmgren and Brett Favre in the '90s, or modern quarterbacks like Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes, the West Coast Offense has shown, season after season, that it can be retooled to face the challenges of the modern game and still deliver success and Superbowl wins!

In Statistical History of the West Coast Offense, author Terry Matthews takes you on a guided tour of the West Coast offense, revealing the best teams, players and coaches to have operated in the system, reliving some of the great games when the West Coast faced up against not just some of the great defenses – like the '46' Defense of Buddy Ryan – but also how things played out when West Coast teams and some of the finest minds to coach the scheme, would contest the greatest prize in pro football.
