Coach DiGaetano is an expert on tackling and his twitter videos made me want to see this course. It goes in-depth on the science of tackling and how to train players to tackle in game situations with different angles, leverage, and most importantly, how to work with your teammates in group tackling situations. Most tackling videos will show you good tackling drills for the individual tackler but Coach Dig goes into group tackling and shows you the drills to teach it. The course also shows you how to evaluate your tackling on film and give feedback to your players.
