DEFENSIVE COORDINATORS & ASPIRING DCs:

The Defensive Coordinator Academy gives you the blueprint for building a strong defense - no matter your situation, players, or scheme.

The Challenge

The game is changing.

Every rule is slanted to help the offense score more points. How will you adjust your defensive structure to match up with the Spread, Wing T, Flexbone, Pro-Style, and all the other flavors of offense?

You not only need to keep up with scheme, but also make sure you are great at fundamentals.

In short, being a defensive coordinator is difficult.

Spending the time needed to ensure your team is ready for any situation is imperative. You need to have enough ready, but not too much.

And most importantly, you need to have all the “If-Then” scenarios played out before the game begins.

The Defensive Coordinator Academy is the place to go to help you work through all that goes into:

  • Building a System
  • Scouting Opponents
  • Deciding on a Plan of Action
  • Organizing Your Staff and Practice Schedules
  • Coverages / Fronts / Blitzes
  • Making In-Game Adjustments

And much more…

Goals of the Academy

Learn at Your Own Pace

The entire goal of this DC Academy is to allow a coach to use a systematic approach to build their own offense. While there are over 12-hours of content, each coach can learn at the pace they choose and skip to sections they want to cover first.

Knowledge

The DC Academy includes multiple coaches with experience coaching at all levels including: Cody Alexander, Tyler Manes, Ty Gower, Jarrod Rickman, PJ Gibbs, Adam Harvey, Terrance Gant and more…

Continual Updates

As the DC Academy continues to grow and add content, your membership will INCLUDE all the content that is added.

You will learn from some experienced play callers from a variety of defensive backgrounds.

Building a defense might sound simple, but there are so many moving parts. It is very difficult to be great at this art.

So, I’ve brought in a few expert coaches to come and have conversations in the Lessons to provide insight into this tough job.

Here are the coaches in the Academy:

  • Cody Alexander
  • P.J. Gibbs
  • Tyler Manes
  • Ty Gower
  • Adam Harvey
  • Jarrod Rickman
  • Tony Adams
  • Terrance Gant
  • Chris Haddad
  • Pat Ruley
  • Tuff Bohannon

By the end of the Academy...

I know that this is the resource I needed when I first started my journey in coaching (and could still benefit from after 20 years of coaching).

Trying to put everything together as the leader of a defense is tough, especially when you don’t know everything you need to focus on.

In life, there’s always a lot of noise you must filter through — my hope is that the Academy and Workbook filter out that noise as you plan your defense and focuses you on the key elements.

So, by the end of the Academy, all your thoughts will be organized in a central location and you’ll have a firm understanding of who your team is and what your defense is going to be.

What Coaches Are Saying

Jason Burke
I'm grateful I came across the Defensive Coordinator Workbook. It's been an invaluable resource for me. I'm in my first year as a DC since the Fall of 2011. The Defensive Coordinator Workbook has allowed me the chance to formulate notes and thoughts that would've otherwise been just sheets of looseleaf paper. Thank you! I'm sure I'll be using this resource for years to come.

I consider FBCoachsimpson a tremendous resource for our program. I've ordered several items off of the website and even attended an in-person clinic this spring. Everything is handled professionally, coach centric, and efficiently. Coach Simpson and his staff are first class.
