Excellent 4-3 Resource

There is a new book out by Coaches Choice, "Coaching Footballs 4-3 Defense" by Tim Simons and Mike Freeman. The original edition came out in 1998 and was an excellent book on the basic 4-3 front. Coach Simons broke the defense down so it was very easy to teach at the high school level. Coach Simons was then the coach at Clovis High School in California. In 2000, pat Hill hired him as the receivers coach at Fresno State. Coach Simons then took his experiences at Fresno to produce a second edition which is updated and more complete. This new edition includes a good chapter on the eagle front. Some teams that currently run the eagle front as their base front include Oklahoma, USC, LSU, and Kansas State. Virtually every 4-3 team in college now at least employs this front as a change up to strengthen themselves versus the run. Coach Simons also included a chapter on the zone blitz package that is so popular now and how it can be implemented at the high school level. Interested coaches may purchase the book at www.coacheschoice.com. Be sure tou get the updated second edition, published in 2003.
