Had several questions on what I’m looking at when I’m identifying coverages. Here’s a thread on it.
These are generic keys to determine what’s being played.

- This is hilarious... Have the DE chase the dive to force the QB keep but gap exchange it with the DT instead of the LB.
00:00 - Starting a new journey @oregonfootball! Appreciative of my time at @RavenFootballBC and will miss the BC family. Thankful to have the best wife in the world on this ride! #GoDucks 🦆
- Here's a thread on man match cover 2... Saban Clip/Cut. Split safety coverage. Clip is the call strong. Cut is the call weak. Essentially it's 2 man but defenders will switch WRs vs out routes. Playbook pages are from the 2008 Alabama playbook Cut ups are Week 11 Saints vs Bucs
- Recently had some guys ask me about zone match vs man match coverages. Here is a thread with a description of each...
- The LSU install on YouTube is one of the best places to start learning the Saban system. Explains about anything you’d want to know and has video to go with it. Hard to beat that! Here’s a link: youtu.be/1Kd_IzYYa0U
- Had this discussion with a coach the other day. Defensive philosophy on why you teach kids to do what they do within your system. First I have to explain the difference between playing “Fast” vs “Slow” Big misnomer in defensive football world IMO
- There are 4 types of coverage philosophies you can play on defense. 1) Man 2) Zone 3) Man Match 4) Zone Match This is a basic list of the core coverages Saban runs. Coverage = Short description. Type.
- Nailing down on the over route and rolling the corner to the MOF in zone match one high. Things NFL defenses do are wild.
00:00 - Excited to announce I have accepted the position as the head football coach at Lexington High School, MO for the 2019 season! Many thanks to guys that helped me along the way! Wanted to give shout-outs to Tim Cogan, Kyle Barkley @Coach_Lite @BouchardFred @SOTOCoachJ @BarteeDante
- Proud and excited to announce a new adventure in my coaching career! I have accepted a defensive position (Corners) at @RavenFootballBC! I am sad to see my time at @LexingtonFB end but will forever cherish those memories and relationships. Go Ravens! ravenathletics.com/article/3537.p…
- Slinging the Fits = A term for LBs and sometimes DBs vs RPO. Used in mofo coverage bc you can’t max fit or be gapped out presnap. Rules = If the QB looks at me, I play pass. If the QB looks away, I play run. Philosophically you're trying to fit mofo coverage like mofc coverage.
