Tanner McLean

Athletic Director / Head Football Coach at Christoval High School

[Tanner McLean @CoachTMcLean]

Coaching a sport is pretty low on the list of things we (most of us) consider our job actually being.

Above that on my list are things such as:
Example
Counselor
Guardian
Protector
Shepherd
Advisor
Shelter

If you aren't in this to love the kids, do us all a favor and move on.

Technique

Finish

[James Light @JamesALight]

Nick Saban - Rip/Liz Match

- 1 High Man Match Cover 3 (Strong Rotation) or Cover 6 (Weak Rotation)

Corners
- Responsible for #1 unless short or under within the first 5 yards.
- If #1 is short within the first 5 yards, CB gives a smash call to the curl flat player & matches #2 vertical.

Flat Defenders
- If your man is vertical in the seam, then you match him.
- If your man goes under, make an under call and zone off to the curl flat.
- Come off #2 vertical and match #1 short if you get a smash call from the corner.
- Come off #2 vertical versus a fast #3. "We're playing zone versus a fast 3."

Hook Defenders
- Must take #3 thru unless given an under call.

- Saban started running Rip/Liz after 1994 in order to deal with the vertical seams + out route combinations vs 3 Deep Zone (lost 3 games to the Pittsburgh Steelers)
