In 2001, Osovet started running an offensive scheme called a manipulation.

19 years later, the scheme known as manipulation plays are the face of offenses throughout the sport of football, as they are now referenced as RPOs.

Osovet’s scheme is known for his creative manipulation of defenders.

The current Tennessee tight ends coach served as offensive coordinator at Nassau Community College and wide receivers coach at LIU before being named head coach at Nassau CC in 2013.

Osovet served as head coach at Nassau CC from 2013-15 before taking the head coaching position at ASA College from 2016-17.
