Fred P. Mariani, Head Coach of the Iona College Gaels, contributes to footballdrills.com

Coach Roth of footballdrills.com contacted Coach Mariani in his campaign to get the college coaches involved into his internet project to provide free American Football coaching material to all coaches in the world. And Coach Mariani responded by sending Coach Roth a copy of his “QUARTERBACKS SUMMER MAILING #1” which covers the drills they run in practice, but also words of wisdom about leadership, work ethics and quality.
Coach Roth incorporated immediately some of these drills into his website www.footballdrills.com.
These can be found in various sections of footballdrills.com:
Drill Progression: http://www.footballdrills.com/quarterbacks.html
Drops: http://www.footballdrills.com/quarterbacks/agilities/drops.html
Drop and Progression: http://www.footballdrills.com/quarterbacks/passing/drops-and-progressions.html
Drill: http://www.footballdrills.com/quarterbacks/passing/spot-drill.html
Drill: http://www.footballdrills.com/quarterbacks /passing/wave-drill.html

These Drills focus mainly on the quarterback dropback mechanics, that is they are mainly drills to be executed by one single player at a time, but might need assistance from some other players/coaches/helpers.
These drills are a great addition to footballdrills.com.
Most American Football coaches on the youth level and most coaches outside the USA do not have a solid coaching education nor can they afford to attend the various coaching clinics - mostly because of time and financial restrictions. But all of these coaches (mostly volunteers) take their assignment very seriously and thirst for information how to become a better coach, and how to teach their players the game.
