In this episode of the Football Coaching Podcast, host Daniel Chamberlain is joined by Coach Chris Cole to discuss high-pressure defensive strategies in football, particularly focusing on how to implement and adapt these techniques. They explore the concept of drinking from the fire hose as a new head coach, referencing experiences from both small school levels and powerhouse programs like Bixby.
 
The conversation covers various defensive fronts, the importance of outside linebackers, and using tight fronts to disrupt offensive plans. They encourage coaches to simplify reads for players to eliminate analysis paralysis and share insights on effective halftime adjustments. The episode closes with their personal 'level up' moments, highlighting recent learnings and strategies for continued coaching development.

“QB Guru” is a title that’s often thrown around… and seems to be rarely regulated. We aren’t QB Guru’s on the podcast, and we’re big on “hire a professional.” So, we brought the professional to you!
 
On this episode, Joe and Daniel are joined by Mitch Wieland to discuss developing your QBs, what fundamentals are absolutely necessary for them to have, and how soon you can start.

Developing Your Future Quarterback

It’s the offseason, which mean the weights in your weight room should already be bangin’ and clangin’. But, we aren’t all being the absolute most efficient with our weight room practices.
 
On this episode Joe and Daniel discuss the importance of the right person running your weight room, getting an expert to develop your weight room plan, and who all you should be running INTO your weight room.

Who Should be Coaching Your Weight Room?

Quarters coverage, with man or zone match principles, can be one of the best defensive coverages in football if you get the proper reps and communication. But, there are even options within the coverage, a dime package as Joe was introduced to it, that allows you to be more efficient and look more complex.
 
On this episode Joe and Daniel talk all about Quarters coverage, the new dime package, and how you can stay versatile in the ever changing arms race between offense and defense.

Coaching the Dime Package in Quarters Coverage

We all know a coach is only as good as the staff they hire. But, hiring the right guys out of the pool you have access to isn’t always the easiest thing to do. We’re breaking it down to try and make it easier.
 
On this episode Joe and Daniel talk everything you need to know about the wrong coaches to hire, the right coaches to hire, and what to do with your staff once you’ve made all the hires.

Hiring the Right Football Coaches

Not every high school takes the field on Friday night with the perfect kid in every position. Sometimes they have a SR Linebacker who never learned how to get downhill. Sometimes they have a freak speedster who doesn’t have the confidence or ability to make a tackle. Coaches at many levels are usually trying to prevent one player from losing them the game and need to hide them in the scheme to eliminate them being exposed.
 
On this episode Joe and Daniel are joined by Coach David Lane as they discuss what kind of player needs to be hidden, how to hide him on gameday, and what you should do to prepare your players for such a scenario.
