Need Help Setting Up/Fixing Your Defense?
Discover the proven framework to build your defensive fronts, coverages, blitzes, and terminology so you can give your team a chance to compete.
Lower Your Points Per Game By Fixing Your System
I went from coordinating a defense that was giving up 30 points per game and blaming my players, to now giving up 13 points per game and focusing on hardening my system.
The major shift was when I realized it's not my players that were the problem, it was me and my system.
Coaches will often change defenses every year because nothing works. Then they'll blame their players for not being fast enough, big enough, older enough, or athletic enough. But what if the problem isn't the players?
What if you just need to better understand why your defense is giving up big plays and how to patch it up?
How We Can Help You Structure Your Defense
Defensive Coordinator University is built around 4 powerful systems that will help you build a defense with clear rules and understanding.
Step 1
Understand front structure and what alignments are best for each play.
Step 2
Understand why things break with your run fits and coverages.
Step 3
Build blitz packages that actually work. Not just blitzing random players.
Step 4
Learn how to build a game plan that utilizes data and key tendencies.
Step 1
Learn Why Each Front Is Played
Do you play Over? Under? Tite? Odd? 5-man? We're going to show you the best ways to build your defensive fronts to stop each play.
Step 2
Understand How To Fit The Run
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, assignment, and the best time to call them.
Run fits and coverages are the foundation of any defense.
Step 3
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
How To Watch Film & Game Plan To 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.
More time back = more time with your family.
In this segment, we will also teach you how to practice tackling and how to teach it safely.
