Clinic Series - How to Build A Smarter, More Disciplined Unit - Joe Bowen, Defensive Coordinator, U. Buffalo
Manage episode 472286652 series 1404614
Today, on the Coach and Coordinator Podcast we’re diving into an aspect of coaching that is important to all phases of the game - how to build a smarter, more disciplined unit. We will focus specifically on how that is done for the defensive side of the ball, but the concepts apply to offense and special teams as well.
This clinic segment from the most recent Lauren’s First and Goal Clinic is from Joe Bowen, the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at the University of Buffalo, who was named the 2024 FootballScoop Linebackers Coach of the Year. Under his leadership, Buffalo produced the top two tacklers in the nation, while dramatically improving their overall defensive performance.
In this segment, Coach Bowen shares his proven framework for structuring a defense, teaching players how to study offenses, and developing linebacker fundamentals that translate directly to game-day success. He covers key topics like offensive identification, defensive meeting structure, and film study techniques that build instincts, discipline, and execution on the field.
Chapters
- Building an Offseason Structure for Player Development
- Teaching Fundamentals and Techniques in Football
- Offensive Identification and Defensive Strategies
