I am new here and as it looks,,, like I am in the right place.
A little background. I am currently the Varsity Linebackers and Special Teams Coach. Our season just ended and in my year end evaluation the Head Coach has informed me has let go of our Defensive Coordinator and wants to promote me into the position. As this last season progressed I could tell our HC was upset with our scheme on defense, so I saw this coming. I have accepted the position and am really excited to start next season right now.
Then our HC informs me he wants to run a basic 4-4 with a cover 3 as our base defense. And keep the defense very simple for the players (we have a young but very good up and coming team). Our defense last year was a 3-4 with the linebackers doing alot of coverage and blitz packages (thus the need for some simplification).
Onto my question:
I will have 52 returning players to the program and about 18-22 freshman. We are going to work from a clean slate of who will play what positions. What would you all consider to be the type of player you would want in these positions and what responsibilities would they have? I know this is really open ended so any feedback you could provide would be awesome! Thank you in advance.
