There were some books that had a big impact on me coaching on the defensive side of the ball.
One of the first books I was introduced to was Rex Ryan's book on coaching the 46 defense. This is a great book to build knowledge of the 46. We use the principles of this book in our defense.
Coaching The Under Front Defense - Jerry Gordon
Jerry Gordon wrote an awesome book on the under front defense. Jerry passed away recently, but his book will live on, leaving his legacy. This is an outstanding book that will give you great incite into building your defense, regardless of the structure you use.
Lou Tepper was a great ball coach, and he wrote the bible of linebacking. This book helped me to understand second level play and how to maximize the success of your linebackers as you build your defense.
One of the best defensive minds of the 80's and 90's wrote a tremendous book on the eagle and stack defenses. Ron Vanderlinden was a part of national championships and wrote a great book that will provide you with some outstanding guidance on being great on defense.
Finally, is my man Cody Alexander. He is a guru on playing quarters coverage, and his book Match Quarters is a must read for every coach. I highly recommend.
Each of these books will help you to grow as a defensive coach. There are also a lot of great videos you can get, but nothing matches the knowledge you can gain from reading a book from an expert.
Some of My Own...
One of the most important aspects of coaching is your preparation and organization. When I was a defensive coordinator we posted 6 shutouts and gave up just 6.8 points a game. A big part of this was our preparation.
Here is a link to the defensive game planning documents. It includes 12 fully editable and customizable documents.
https://sellfy.com/p/AY1u/ These are what we used to post 6 shutouts when I was a defensive coordinator. Defensive coordinators at all levels of football are using this.
I spent many years as an OC with very successful and explosive offenses. If you are looking for specific resource you can use to help you be more effective with your offensive game planning and more explosive on offense, check out my offensive game planning packet at
https://sellfy.com/p/AndN/
It includes everything from a scouting report template, to practice plans, to a two-sided color call sheet, and more! Each of the nine documents are fully editable and customizable! Order today and start preparing for your first game right now! This helped us be able to be prepared to attack the defense and put more points on the board. It also helped us be much more efficient and targeted on the weekends when we were game planning.
And finally, I put together a special teams resource. This has everything you need, included drill tape, practice tape, and game footage. It includes teaching presentations and scouting forms just for special teams!
https://sellfy.com/p/tJwz/ This helped us to build dominating special teams!
I wanted these to be available at a very reasonable cost. These can help you to be more successful on the field and more efficient in the office!
A while back I got hooked up with CoachTube and put together three courses for offensive football coaches. I put together two courses on RPO's, and a course on Building An Elite System of Communication. All of these courses will help you to score more points!

All three of these courses are detailed, with everything you need to be more explosive and to score more points.
The course on communication gives you a detailed approach to your gameday communication. I give you a system and a process to improve the quality of conversations, leading to improved play calling on game day. This course has received outstanding reviews from coaches at all level of football. A coach with multiple state titles told me this course helped them to be much more efficient and explosive this season.
My two RPO courses take you through a systematic process of installing RPO's into your offensive system. RPO's put the defense in conflict, forcing them to defend all 53 yards of width and all 6 skill players every single play. I not only give you a system, but I teach you the methods to develop your own RPO concepts.
Books
I published a couple of iBooks that can help your program with X's and O's. The first is on Installing RPO's into any offense. Here is a link to the iBooks version:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/book/id1078061959. The ibooks version includes explanations, diagrams, and video clips on multiple RPO Concepts. It will give you a simple process for implementing them into your offense.
If you don't have an apple device, you can order the paperback version! It is available on Amazon!
https://www.amazon.com/dp/1520447485I also wrote a book on Tempo. It will greatly help you build a multiple tempo system with simple communication that will allow your kids to play with confidence. It also had over an hour of video clips! You can order the ibooks version here:

New Book
Over the last several months, I have stepped out of my comfort zone and wrote a new book about faith and purpose. The book is available as a paperback on Amazon, and as an eBook for the Kindle App. The cool thing about the Kindle app is that you can read the book on any device. I invite you to read it, and discover the power you receive when you make a decision to walk with the Lord. Here is a link to the book: Finding Faith
Since publishing the book, I have received numerous texts, calls, and emails, from people who are going through similar trials and tribulations. They were feeling many of the same things I was feeling. The found comfort in the book. They also found they had a desire to change and to live better. They wanted more joy.
I would invite you to read the book and discover the possibilities that God has planned for your life.
