Josh Heupel kicks off 2022 Michigan High School Football Coaches Association clinic

“I have been fortunate to be around some great quarterbacks. If you want to have success, you better have a trigger guy. You have to find and develop that guy. You have to find out what he can do and put him in position for success. That is the number one thing where we start off offensively, every single offseason.” –Josh Heupel

“It sounds easy, really hard to do, because you have this playbook or you have these schemes you want to run. Schemes are great, but at the end of the day, it comes down to the guy being in position to be successful and effectively operate within your system.” –Josh Heupel

“Plays off the vertical run game. We’re vertical, downhill, tight, we have isolations on the outside. It gives us the ability to push the football down the field. It makes you the aggressor, an aggressive mentality in everything you are doing. I think that mindset matters, your players want to play in that, you’ve got to create that, they’re going to need that on Saturday nights. Put pressure on the defense, don’t ever give them an opportunity to catch their breath. You can’t score if you don’t try. We’re going to try and score some points.” –Josh Heupel

“Unbelievable institution, unbelievable place. The power of the T is real, the power of the experience in the four years that you are there and long term are unbelievable. First class education, top-50 public university in the United States. The VFL program, the professional development, what they do for our players while they’re there, for four years, their plan, what they have instituted and what they do for our players long term is second to anything I have ever seen or heard about in college football.” –Josh Heupel
