Well, this is what Wikipedia has to say on the no-huddle/hurry-up offense: "The 'no-huddle' approach to play calling has existed in some form in the game of football since plays were first designed. It was popularized by Ted Marchibroda, former head coach of the Baltimore Colts [1975-79], Indianapolis Colts [1992-95] and Baltimore Ravens [1996-98]. He developed 'no-huddle' strategies with his college teammate, Mike Orbinati, at St. Bonaventure University. Orbinati had coached at Cardinal Mindszenty High School of Dunkirk, N.Y. Mindszenty implemented the 'no-huddle' offense on the high school gridiron long before the strategy was used in the NFL. It was not implemented as a major part of the game strategy until the Cincinnati Bengals head coach Sam Wyche began to heavily rely on the approach."
