Biography and Coaching Experience

Education

18 years High School & College Coaching

leaned about myself as a coach in high school

slow down, teach, communicate, be humble You must be humiliated, before you can be humble

Introduction

I am not here to convince you play our defensivecoverages, but more importantly to shareinformation that we believe works for our athletes.

Hopefully, our information can assist you as a coachand / or your players.

I believe that coaches must understand the playersthe personnel you have, then use your philosophy to

fit the mold of our players. "It's not always the X's and the O's,it's the Billy's and

the Joe's... It's a true statement!

Introduction

Ive been associated with some great coaches.

I have had the chance to coach with them on

the sidelines I've had the opportunity to pick their brains at

clinics or during the recruiting process.


5/42

Defensive Staff at LosAngeles Valley College Preparing for each opponent each week.

Our secondary philosophy is to teach our base defense that ourathletes can master in a two year period.

Do the little things, first

establish a solid foundation in our base coverages and our blitzschemes

builds confidence in the players

by keeping it simple the secondary can grab a large number ofrepetitions with each practice repetitions create confidence for the athletes

allows them to perform at a high level in games withouthesitations.

discipline plays a key role in the secondary without it, the season will be very long.

L.A. Valley CollegeSecondary Philosophy Our Philosophy

Teach secondary fundamentals; alignment andassignment

Must be able to make a tackle

Stop the run Control the passing game The use of deception in disguising the coverage Personnel and evaluation of players Recruit speed, quickness, football intelligence,

mental and physical toughness

Prevent the big play and easy touchdown


7/42

Our Secondary Philosophy Read and React

Forget about the last play (deep touchdowns)

Protect Your Territory - each player is asked tobe responsible for their territory

The tendency to help your teammate protect hisareas

Do your primary job first; then help & pursuit once the yourinitial territory has been secured.


8/42

The Keys To TeachingQuarters Coverage The coach must be able to teach the

principles of alignment and

assignment to his players Find players that will execute properly

Players must believe in the defense

Basic overall understanding of offensiveformations; 21P, 20P, 12P, 11P 10P, GL


9/42

The Keys To TeachingQuarters Coverage Know the Weaknesses - coaches must

know the weaknesses of of the defense

Repetitions of Fundamentalsfundamental techniques will differ fromone coverage to another

do you have a secondary coach thatunderstands technique & can teach

technique to the players?


10/42

Advantages of QuartersCoverage Nine man front

Compliments the play action pass

Assist the defense with four verticalreceivers

The transition from the base defense to

zone blitzing is simple Good Run Support: Primary Force and

Alley Fill


11/42

Advantages of QuartersCoverage Juco s often have players reporting late

We need a defense that is easy to learn in a

short period of time. The DEFENSE CONTINUES

Coaches can use many different schemesthat all look the same to the opposing

quarterback: Disguises: C4 to C2, C4 to C3

(traditional S/S or Cloud), C4 to Man


12/42

Alignment FC = Field Corner

The alignment of the Field Corner is 7 yards back by 1 yard inside the #1receiver.

He is the CB to the wide side of the field. When in the middle of the field the coach can designated the left or right side

based on the opponent. He is usually a better zone player and run support that the boundary corner

back.

BC = Boundary Corner 7 yards back by 1 yard inside the #1 receiver. He is the CB that is aligned to the boundary side of the field.

He is the defender on your team that can play man to man coverage to thesingle receiver side; 10 personnel trips (1 RB / 0 TE); 11 personnel strong trips(1 RB / 1TE).

This allows the defense to zone the wide side of the field and man the backside when needed.

10 yards deep by 2 yards outside the end man on the line ofscrimmage.

If a a slot receiver is present and ball on the hash, safeties will alignno more than 4 yards outside the end man on the line of scrimmage.

He can adjust to his quarter of the field, but never outside his

responsible quarter (fast receiver in 10P trips) If ball is in the middle of the field, alignment is a 10x2

R = Rover 10 yards deep by 2 yards outside the end man on the line of

C. AssignmentRun Support Keys and Reads Safeties - Dont Go Until You Know

Safeties - Flat-Footed Read; Wait technique

Safeties Read and Key end man on the LOS

Safeties - If its run; primary force on back fieldspeed flow to the perimeter

SafetiesIf its run; stack flow

Safetiesif its run; tight flow

Safeties - cutback on all back field flow away


22/42

Run Support Keys andReads Cornerbacks key and reads QB triangle

Cornerbacks have secondary run support on

back field speed flow Cornerbacks have angle of pursuit on backfield

flow away once ball is pass the LOS

On WR crack on safety, CB must be primary

force; CB must see contact on safety (veryhard to teach)

PASS DEFENSE Practice Techniques and they will become second nature

Fundamentals; we always concentrate on EDDs ( every day drills)

I. Stance

II. Backpedal

III. Break on the ball

IV. Zone Turns with hips, leg drive, and acceleration

V. Man to Man hip movements and hand placement(opponents hands or hips and high thighs

VI. Intercepting Balls

VII. Tackling

VIII. Alignment

IX. Assignment


26/42

AssignmentPass Keys and ReadsTechnique for CBs - shuffle, shuffle , bail

CBs: Routes 10 yards or more is your man

off man from seven yards

Three step read key from quarterback

If three steps is no longer a threat; work hard into a speedbackpedal with eyes on #1 receiver

18 yards or more the CB will take his man on an intermediateroute or to a deep route


27/42

AssignmentPass Keys and Reads Technique for Safeties

Dont go until you know

Flat footed read; wait technique

If no vertical threat by the #2 receiver, get insideand underneath the #1 receiver

4 important keys by the #2 receiver

a.) block; primary run support to cutback

b.) vertical release; 10 yards or more man to man

c.) inside release; look to double #1 receiver inside out

d.) outside release; look to double #1 receiver inside out
