Education
Stunt packages are a large part of the defense's strategy, and it requires the team to keep as
many men in the box while maintaining sufficient coverage from the secondary.

Coaches Association Assistant Coach of
the Year
Runs a swarming 3-5 stack defense. His blitzing schemes create
pressure on the opposing quarterback while relying on both zone and
man coverage from his defensive backs. The outside linebackers in
the 3-5 stack tend to be athletic, bringing the most pressure of any
position on the defense on the opposing team's quarterback. He has
moved players into 4-3 and 4-4 defenses in the past to maximize the
talent on the field.
