Join TCU Safeties' coach, Paul Gonzales, as he shares his invaluable expertise in this comprehensive drill tape. Coach Gonzales wanted to give back to the coaching community, so this course is free! The drill tape is split into four detailed sections, covering the essential skills for developing top-tier Safeties:

1. Footwork Drills
2. Agility and Reaction Drills
3. Tackling Drills
4. Ball Skills Drills

Although this course is geared towards Safeties, Paul used many of these drills when he coached Corners at TCU. The course can also be good for Linebackers, specifically the tackling section. Take advantage of this unique opportunity to learn from one of the best in the field.

Note: Although this course is listed under my page, it is entirely Paul's tape. My role was solely in its production and distribution. Paul asked that I manage it for him.

This course contains the main 3rd Down Pressures used over the past few years for Coach Vass' defenses.  It goes over the 3rd Down philosophy, pressure philosophy, breaking down each protection and plan of attack, Bluff/Mug looks, top pressure paths, and pressure coverages.  The course also includes film of each concept with detailed slides for each pressure.

The course takes you through the entire process from breaking an opponent down (my personal favorite part - how we structured our tagging in Hudl by coach to match their responsibilities throughout the week), creating a game plan, structuring your practices for the entire week, and creating a play call sheet. Each phase will not only give you my personal process, it includes how I structured my staff's responsibilities. Each day's practice will contain the individual, group, and team periods we typically used. 

This course is perfect for anyone: from seasoned vets looking to shake things up a bit to rookie DCs who don't have a process in place. Please take a look at the topics below for more information!

“Defending the Wing-T” by Chris Vasseur (aka Coach Vass) gives coaches a detailed, step-by-step plan to implement when facing the Wing-T offense. Coach Vasseur focuses on the base Wing formation, as well as Slot variations, Red/Blue hybrid formations, the unbalanced versions of the previous three formations, and other sets commonly seen when facing the offense such as 2x2 Snug and 3-Back sets. His 7+ hour course leaves no stone unturned – he shows detailed drawings and diagrams, coupled with over 140 clips of film with voiceovers to walk you through each and every play the Wing-T offense runs (including some double and triple-option plays) with specific instructions for each player on every play.

After taking you through the philosophy of the offense, and his general guidelines for defending it, Coach Vass lays out his base plan to stop the offense in its tracks. Primarily using even fronts and different slant variations to get your players where the offense wants to run, Coach Vasseur installs his Robber coverage to help outnumber the offense at the point of attack, and spill techniques to force the ball where the offense doesn’t want to run, by triggering different fits based on Wing and/or Slot blocks. He lays out a position-by-position guide gives alternative fronts, coverages, and pressure concepts, giving you an array of tools to defend one of the classic offenses in the history of football. From there, Coach Vass goes through each and every play in the entire Wing-T playbook, detailing every defender’s responsibility, with accompanying film to show you clips of success, and sometimes even the ugly!

The course covers in great detail how to defend the main plays of the offense: Bucksweep, Power, Sweep, Down, Down Option, Belly (XB), Belly Option, FB Trap, FB Dive, FB Gut, and even Triple Option plays from Wing-T sets. He reviews the counter plays in the offense, including Wing Counter (Counter Criss-Cross [XX]), Tackle Trap, Wing Tackle Trap, and the playaction passing game including Waggle, Belly Keep Pass, and Power Pass, as well as the Waggle Throwback Screen. Lastly, Coach Vasseur gives some insight on specific periods for practice, as well as his thoughts on a progression throughout the week, to effectively rep your defense and prepare them for the offense.

Coach Vasseur uses his trademark breadth and depth you find on his podcast, “Make Defense Great Again” to teach the concepts. You will not find a more detailed single course or clinic on any topic related to football, period. Coach goes the extra mile, even adding his presentation in its entirety so you can watch each video clip at your own pace, without interruption.
