This was an educational video that I needed to keep to around 2 minutes for a graduate level course. It teaches you about the West Coast Offense and the Vertical Offense.
Per Wikipedia the creator of the video was correct about Sid pioneering the vertical offense before Coryell (Coryell perfected it); also, creator of video's description said it had to be under 2 min; seems like "the 60s" may have been cut out during editing; just my 2 cents
Good, simple, introduction, but Sid Gillman brought the vertical passing scheme to San Diego in the '60s, not the '70s. You might've been confusing him with Don 'Air' Coryell's attack with St. Louis and San Diego in the '70s and '80s.
