Does This Sound Like You?
- You're a defensive coach tired of giving up cheap points
- You don't know what to fix but know something's broken
- You want fewer busts and better communication
- You want answers on game day instead of guessing
- You want a defense that reflects your coaching ability
Avoid The Worst Feeling On Game Day
You spend hours game planning and making sure that you stop their best player.
However, on gameday, he goes off for 150+ yards, and you have no answers for him. As a defensive coach, you just stand on the sideline and watch him march up and down the field. There's nothing you can do but watch. This is one of the worst feelings a defensive coach can experience.
And the worst part?
When you don't know if it's:
- A scheme issue
- A teaching issue
- A communication issue
- Or an installation issue
So you change calls, add checks, try to simplify or even blitz more, and yet points keep coming.
The Truth About Most Defensive Breakdowns
Most defenses don't give up points because they are unsound, they give up points because they are unclear.
Great defenses aren't complicated. They are organized and bring clarity to each call. They play fast and react rather than think and process slowly.
In 2015, I coordinated a vanilla defense. 4-4 spot drop cover 3. We blitzed occasionally (for no reason), and when we gave up explosive plays, we would blame the kids. We had no systems in place, and we just called plays at random.
We had no systems and had no answers for:
- When things broke, we had no idea why
- Communication between coaches on gameday was not clear and often was just yelling and chaotic
- Getting every coach involved with the game plan
- Lining up vs every formation & play
Year after year, we would give up points and not know the simple solution was organization and having built-in systems for when things went wrong.
