How To Call Plays That Confuse & Frustrate Your Opponent
It's never been harder to be a defensive coordinator.
Offenses are now running both zone schemes and gap schemes, along with simple concepts that beat both man and zone coverages. Quarterbacks as young as 10 years old are now throwing pre- and post-snap RPOs.
Running a base defense like the 4-4 or 5-2 used to be enough to win football games. It isn't anymore. Not even close.
In order for your defense to compete, you need answers for everything. If not, offenses are capable of scoring 28+ points in a hurry.
Over the past 10+ years, I've coordinated a defense at the high school level and have met with over 10,000 coaches from youth to the NFL level through vIQtory Sports. I've developed and refined a system designed to handle any type of offensive attack.
I've now turned that system into Defensive Coordinator University.
It combines a proven step-by-step strategy to build a defense, create your front structure, install coverages that make sense, and show you how to coach your run fits.
Here's what's exactly inside Defensive Coordinator University.

Tackling & Game Plan
Step 1
Learn To Install Base Fronts To Stop Every Type Of Run Play
Popular offensive plays like buck sweep, power, counter, and iso all have weaknesses. We're going to show you the best ways to build your defensive fronts to quickly stop each play.
Step 2
Install Coverages & Run Fits To Shut Down Both The Ground & Air Attack
Games are won and lost based on whether you can stop the run or not. We'll show you how to stop the run vs each play and how to adjust your front to counter any offensive attack.
Learn how to install coverages that your players feel comfortable in, and you feel confident calling. We'll cover leverage, depth, asssignment and the best time to call them.
Run fits and coverages are the foundation of any defense.
Step 3
Learn How To Blitz Smarter To Reduce Explosive Plays
Learn the exact strategy to blitz with a purpose. No more calling blitzes and praying they work.
We're going to show you exactly how to blitz your opponent based on the scheme they run, and how you can limit explosive (20+ or more) yards.
Our system of blitzing has helped our team better protect against big plays, with a higher success rate.
Step 4
Learn Exactly How To Watch Film & Game Plan So You Find The Right Tendencies
Learn to watch film with a purpose. We're going to show you the exact system for watching film, game-planning, and putting your players in the best position possible to make impact plays.
Our film-watching system has been refined multiple times to save you time on weekends.
