Minnesota shift The Minnesota shift , also known as the jump shift , was an American football maneuver in which an offensive team shifted from one formation into another pre - determined formation on signal prior to the snap of the ball . It was the forerunner to all quick shifts in American football . The intent of the Minnesota shift was to keep the defense off balance and disguise the offense ' s intended point of attack . To be effective , the shift into the new formation was supposed to be done quickly and the ball snapped immediately afterward . University of Minnesota Golden Gophers coach Dr . Henry L . Williams is credited with its invention in the first decade of the 20th century , and his institution lends its name to the shift . The maneuver gained national attention when it was adopted by period powerhouse Yale University in 1910 .

Yale used the Minnesota shift against both opponents , and beat Princeton , 5 – 3 , and tied Harvard , 0 – 0 . In 1917 , Wisconsin head coach John R . Richards claimed that Chicago ' s legendary Amos Alonzo Stagg had never been able to develop a counter to the Minnesota shift .

The following season , Michigan also effectively shut down the shift behind good line play .
