Joe Paterno DVD Linebackers- Defense football video

I watched Successful Coaching Football Instructional Joe Paterno: Linebackers DVD and its was great.  The Linebacker video should be called Jerry Sandusky Linebackers because Coach Sandusky conducts the training on the video.  But do not let this fool you, this is one of the best coaching videos I’ve watched, especially on defensive linebacker drills. I rented the

Fritz Shurmur – Eagle Five-Linebacker Defense Football Book

I just started reading Frtitz Shurmer’s The Eagle Five-Linebacker Defense. This is a must have book simply for the description of outside linebacker / defensive end play. The play of the outside linebacker “starts with a good take off, or explosion, across the line of scrimmage on the snap.” They must “sprint across the line

Youth Football Skill and Drills by Tom Bass

Tom Bass in his book Youth Football Skills & Drills: A New Coach’s Guide says one youth football coach to 6 pee wee football players an ideal ratio of coaches.  I must agree with Coach Bass.  To really teach the youth football player you need multiple drill stations to keep the young little league football players interested.

Another great addition to your youth football coaching library is Frank Beamers Complete Guide to Special Teams (American Football Coaches Ass).  This is a great book on special teams.  My copy is worn, highlighted and notes in different colors along the page edges.

Block to the Pile

I like John Gruden’s coaching point to offensive lineman. I tell my guys the same thing. Offensive lineman should block to the tackling pile and block / peel tacklers from piling on the your running back. Don’t watch the defense pile on your teammate. Help your brother out. Have Fun and Winning is Funner. Sent
