When I played in the TBA (Tidewater Buzzball Association) several years ago, this was the rule we used:
1) Prior to each game, each coach selects one player to be designated as "fumble man."
2) On any solo tackle by that player, a coin is flipped:
2a) Heads: No fumble.
2b) Tails: FUMBLE!
3) If a fumble occurs, the coin is flipped again:
3a) Heads: Offense recovers at the spot and retains possession.
3b) Tails: Defense recovers at the spot, 1st-and-10 (there were no fumble returns).
This rule was in effect on all plays from scrimmage, special teams plays, etc. We didn't have too many, but we had just enough that it kept a nice flavor in the games.
