Since buying into the R4 System, I’ve become a more efficient and effective QB coach—and our quarterback play has improved every year.

QB'S & OC'S AS ONE
R4 is a cognitive training system for both quarterbacks and offensive coaches.
For quarterbacks, it simplifies reads into clear, repeatable steps.
For coaches, it provides a unified way to teach, game plan, and communicate.
Together, R4 creates collective cognition—a quarterback and coordinator operating as one.
R4 FOUNDATIONS
Where the journey begins...
QB FOUNDATIONS
PASS DECK
A visual system of 72 oversized playing cards that teaches route timing, spacing, and leverage—so quarterbacks and receivers play in sync.
TACTICAL TRAINING BOARD
FIELD COMMAND
The R4 Field Command Board is a 29”x19” teaching and game-planning surface that provides a repeatable way to learn coverage recognition, formation structure, and concept intent. It brings scouting, install, and game-planning sessions to life.
WINNERS PLAYBOOK BUNDLE
R4 LIBRARY
The Winner’s Playbook Bundle brings together the four bestselling books of the R4 System—Headset to Helmet, Adapt or Die, What Is Open, and Capology. This collection gives coaches and quarterbacks the full foundations and advanced applications of the R4 methodology.
FOR QB'S & COACHES
It trains both the QB and OC to see the field the same way—through space, time, and defender leverage—so they can identify patterns, diagnose problems, and make fast, pressure-proof decisions together.
A UNIFIED FOOTBALL LANGUAGE
R4 organizes the game into a readable system—space, time, leverage, and matchup—giving quarterbacks and coaches a shared framework for understanding every play, every coverage, and every situation.
A TURN-KEY DECISION LOOP
Instead of relying on instincts or “feel,” R4 gives players a step-by-step decision model that turns chaos into clarity—so reads, progressions, and adjustments become predictable and consistent.
ANSWERS "WHAT IS OPEN?"
Most offenses fail because coaches perception of "Open" is different than players.
R4 removes that disconnect by identifying key frames of reference, aligning play design, QB timing, route families, and defensive recognition into one synchronized system.

I'm currently reading the books and it's the beginning of football season in SC. The information is well organized, detailed and simple to implement.
Eye-opening! I bought the R4 VR Training to develop my quarterbacks, but after just one week, it completely changed the way I see the game. Watching film, I was amazed at how quickly I could identify where the quarterback should go with the football. I'm already a better coach. Thank you!"
I've seen a lot of football training, and the progression and reinforcement in this program is better than any course or lesson I've seen. The way you teach high-level concepts so young quarterbacks can actually understand and apply them is incredible. After just 8 weeks, Drew has developed a foundation of football understanding I'm truly grateful for.
After using it three years as an offensive Coordinator, We have averaged 48 points per game and 565 yards of offense with a 21-2 record over the last two years and 8-3 the year before.
Coach Maddox and his staff were phenomenal. This was our second consecutive year attending, and every returning athlete agreed the camp was even better than the year before. The coaching was individualized, the instruction was outstanding, and the staff adapted seamlessly through weather challenges. This camp is now a staple of our summer development program. Highly recommended.
The R4 Concept Passing Camp is a must-attend. Our players left better, smarter, and more confident thanks to the time, knowledge, and investment from Coach Dub Maddox and his staff.
Great books that are crucial to our offensive staff on-boarding process!
Honored to have been apart of the R4 Tier One Training Camp. Looking forward to applying what I learned this season!
This is the camp that will help take your QB to the next level. Exceptional coaching that is focused on the mental aspects of playing the position. One of the most valuable camps we have ever attended!
Hey coach first day of spring & I crushed it, R4 helped exponentially & my dads gonna get me the R4 Reps VR System this week. Thank you!
The R4 System has made me a better coach and play caller!
It’s awesome 😎
Committed to the R4 Masterclass after reading Headset to Helmet. It has sharpened my understanding across the board, especially in areas I thought I already had dialed in. Game-changer!
This helped me see the whole field—how defenses align to formations and how to beat them. I’m making faster, better decisions now.
Huge thanks to Dub Maddox | REPS VR for R4 QB School—getting me ready for the next level. Can’t wait to bring this to the field.
We love the grading system
NEW! R4 + REPS Virtual QB / WR Coverage Reads & Route Family Training Bundle
The R4 System has transformed how our athletes see the game—clearer picture, faster decisions, better results.
This is easily the best money we’ve spent on our program in a long time! We have started applying the R4 QB School concepts in 7-on-7, and the impact is immediate.
The R4 System turned our program around. We went from 1–17 to 6–3 in league play with a playoff appearance after our staff fully bought in. The impact was immediate!
The QB Mastery Bundle is an immersive academic class involving the strategies of a creative passing system!
Using this tool is a game changer
Coach Maddox’s Glazier Clinic on the R4 Framework was phenomenal. The clarity of the concepts and language made everything easy to understand and apply. Our young staff is fired up to start implementing R4!
Another great QB Academy session in the books. Reinforcing game film with hands-on learning on the R4 Field Command Board has been huge this off season!
Saw Dub Maddox at Pittsburg Glazier Clinic - 6 sessions. The BEST clinic I’ve ever attended. Not even close. R4!
Gives a simple, clear and concise way for quarterbacks to read the field and for coaches to study film and gameplan.
I have really enjoyed the Master Class. I like the way the information is chunked out & the diagrams/animations make it easy to understand. I'm looking forward to seeing it put to use in the fall!
Great book if you are trying to learn more about the R4 system!
Me & my QB coach just went through the R4 QB School this past month & it has already helped me tremendously! Love you you're doing!
Reading the book I could hear myself using a lot of the same “typical” coaching points for routes the book pointed out. The way they lay out the system is very clear and easy to understand. Can’t wait to dive into it more.
This is an outstanding tool. I wish I had this earlier in my coaching career—it would’ve accelerated my learning curve significantly. Thanks for putting this together.
Well done! Never had a bad experience in any interaction with R4 Football System. Thank you for all you do!!!
Just a great reference for clarity in offensive football. A great addition to my library and it rounds out my collection of Dub Maddox books all the way back to "From Headset To Helmet". Thank for sharing your knowledge!!!!
Thankful to have found R4. My athletes are going to be in a better position to learn and perform now that we have a better common language to use.
Great read. I've been coaching for 8 years and this book helped connect the dots on the why we've done things the way we do and what needs to change. Excited to get through all the books.
The R4 system creates a systems based approach to gameplanning that allows for uniformity in communication and execution for both players and coaches. A remarkable resource for coaches!
The QB School is packed with quality content, and the VR training component is outstanding.
I just started the film study course. Absolutely outstanding! 40+ years of coaching and thought I had seen it all. Game changing!
The academic and visual results is greater than any football training for qb's/rec's. The best method to pre- practice Qb meetings for more efficient practice time . Less explaining during practice....more reps
We are using the field command board for off season QB school, the athletes are loving it!
