There's 3 regions that have produced the most HS Coaches who have been hired as College OC's
- TX
- Arkansas
- Arizona
(Ohio produces a lot of Coaches as well, but mainly on Defense)
But in terms of Offensive innovation, you can literally find HS Coaches in the Southwest & hire them on College staffs & there won't be a drop off in knowledge or capability to Coach at the College level.
What that results in, is the QB's these guys Coach in HS come to College ready & prepared to play at a high level. Because they actually understand the verbiage & usually have the arm talent to make all the throws to any part of the field.
The heavy Baseball culture of the Southwest (TX in particular) plays a part as well.
Most TX QB's grow up playing Baseball & the early muscle activation in their arm & shoulders makes them much stronger throwers, who can usually change platforms & throw from multiple arm angles.
