Coaches,
I'm a New Varsity Head Fotball Coach and I'm in the process of getting my staff together. I've coached HS for 12 years and have been an Off. Coord. for 7 years and coached DB's on defense. I've worked in the 4-3 defense most recently, but I have worked and played in the 5-2 defense. I'm looking to find a defense that is best suited for HS Football and a very run oriented league(mostly "I" and Wing-T). Which defense do you think is best and why? I'm am partial to 7 man front though, I like the fact of a 4 man secondary and being able to do different coverages and alignments with the SS and FS. Any info. would be appreciated.
On another point, I'm looking to hire a Def. Coord. During my interview with the DC's, I will ask and talk about the defenses they feel most comfortable with and have worked in. If I find a coach who is loyal, committed and willing to work hard, but has coached in the 4-4 or 5-3 his entire career, do I still tell him I want the 4-3 or 5-2 or go with what he feels best being a coordinator in? I'm not talking about bending or giving up my authority as the Head Coach, but whats best for the DC and the teaching process.
Thank you
