Head Coach at Miami of Ohio Chuck Martin is known for having strong defenses. In this course he teaches why the one high structure provides them advantages.
The Redhawks take the approach that they will make an offense 1 dimensional while taking away conflict from their own defenders. For them it's about keeping their best linebackers in the box and not allowing the offense to dictate and make them apex players who have to get on the edge and tackle in space.
Coach points out that they know what their kids are good at and they ask them to do those things. Their 1 high system is simple and gives them the advantage in getting aligned quickly. He illustrates their defense with examples on game film.
