This Proven Defensive System Gets Faster, More Aggressive Players in Just 5 Practices for Less Than the Cost of a Coaching Clinic.

The Only 4-2-5 Defense Built on the Coach Simple, Play Fast, Win Philosophy to Shut Down Any Offensive Attack.

You work your butt off. Come up with a great game plan. You and your players put in long hours on the practice field.

But on Game Day? It’s rough.

You're smaller than the teams you play against. Players play slow on the field. Get confused. Forget assignments. 

Missing tackles. Can’t get off blocks. Sometimes they’re not even lined up right.

And as offenses get more complex than ever… you have less time than ever to get your defense ready.

How is this going to work?

You Need a New Approach.

The 4-2-5 Defensive System is built on one critical philosophy that changes it all.

Coach Simple. Play Fast. Win.

The 4-2-5 Defense System is a complete coaching system built on simplicity. Use only what you need for your team. For your schedule.

When you keep your teaching simple, players understand what they’re asked to do. How to do their job on the field.

They have confidence. Confidence is the key. Confident players play fast.

No more paralysis by analysis. No more indecision. No more fear. 

Faster players play more aggressive. Fly around. Make plays.

Simply put… faster players WIN more games.

Coach Simple. Play Fast. Win.

Time to stop reinventing the wheel every week. Making huge changes on defense for a schedule filled with different offensive attacks.

Spread Option. Flex bone. Wing-T. Air Raid. Double Wing. You see it all.

Trying to come up with a new solution every week? That just confuses your players. 

How many times have you had a top-notch game plan on paper, but your players just couldn’t execute? 

And all that time you spent installing that defensive game plan they couldn’t execute… you could’ve spent that on fundamentals. That’s what really wins games.

The Tools to Turn Your Program Around.

The 4-2-5 Defense System starts with a 5 Module Training Course. All the critical nuts and bolts of the System.

Modules are segmented into short clips so that you can study around your busy schedule. Most videos are less than 20 minutes.

The entire System is all online streaming video. No DVDs to wait for. Learn right from your home. You get Instant Access to start improving your football team right now. 

You get access to the playbooks. Practice plans. And the Drill Library. 

Everything you need in a one-stop coaching resource unmatched anywhere else. For less than it costs to take your staff to just one coaching clinic.

Ready to Dominate in Just 5 Practices

Once you learn the System, you decide what your team needs. Keep it Simple. Only what you need to win.

Then follow the 5 Day Installation Plan using the included Practice Plan Templates. This is a huge advantage that only Coach Simple teams have. 

The entire System is installed in just 5 days of practices. As little as 45 minutes of defensive practice time per day.

Unleash the Full Potential of Your Athletes

Your football team is going to fly around from the opening kickoff. Fast. Aggressive. Confident. 

When you Coach Simple, your players keep getting better as the season goes along. Every week they’re gaining even more confidence.

Practices are about sharpening the sword. Not installing a whole new collection of play calls.

Better tackling. Better block destruction. Better execution. And making tweaks in the game plan each week that give the defensive play caller more tools in your tool belt.

Proven Way to Winning More Games

How do I know all this is going to work? Because I’ve seen this transformation happen countless times with other football coaches. Just like you.

I’m Joe Daniel, founder of Joe Daniel Football and host of The Football Coaching Podcast. That podcast has been at the top of the list for football coaches since 2012, with over 1.53 Million downloads from coaches all over the world.

I’ve been a speaker for the Glazier Clinics, featured in American Football Monthly, Gridiron Strategies, and listed as part of the Hudl Top 100 Influencers.

My most popular coaching eBook, Coaching Football’s 4-2-5 Defense has been one of the top resources for defensive coaches for nearly a decade. In 2014 we raised the bar with the introduction of The 4-2-5 Defense System

As of this writing, I have helped 6,946 football programs install or improve their 4-2-5 Defense using the Coach Simple way.

The Keys to Your Best Defense

My Complete Coaching System gives you instant access to everything you need to build your Coach Simple, Play Fast, Win defense right now.

I’ll share the simple alignment rules that never need to change. No more wasting time teaching guys how to line up every week. 

Learn consistent run fits built on the Umbrella Principle, a total game changer for defensive football coaches. Teach your players this simple principle, so they know how to stop any run play. No matter what offense.

The we build the No Fly Zone so that your defense can shut down the toughest passing attacks. A complete, versatile coverage package to back up your stout defensive front. 

Keep it simple with Cover 3, or lock down in a Cover 1 Man/Free coverage. For those high flying attacks, install the Simplified Split Field Quarters package. It's all included. 

Remember - you install only what your defense needs. Based on your players and your schedule. Keep it simple so your players can play fast.

Top off your playbook with a full blitz package including basic blitzes and more exotic man and zone blitzes. Dial up the perfect pressures at just the right time. As aggressive as you need to be.

I’ll also teach you and your coaching staff all the skills, techniques, and drill packages for every position on the defense. Have your players prepared to execute on game day. No more wasting precious practice time on anything that doesn’t transfer directly to the field.


Making a Difference for Coaches

The Coach Simple, Play Fast, Win philosophy works. When you simplify for your players, they play faster. Play more aggressive. Win more games.

Coaches across the country and around the world have been coaching The 4-2-5 Defense System and loving it. Here's what just a few of our coaches had to say this year...

Our Kids Can Just Play

The 4-2-5 Defense System has given me base principles I can build my defense on for next season. I got way more out of this than any video series I have spent money on, plus it was 1/4 of the cost. I can now give sound reasons why we are doing this and it allows us to make it simple, so our kids can just play.

Clarity

Joe Daniel Football is complete, concise and clear. He's honest and forthright. He gives you the clarity on his mission for you to get what you need from his System. He's one of us, high school war dogs trying to make men out of kids through football.

Chris Nemith

Fort Walton Beach High School (FL)

Invaluable

The resources that Joe Daniel provides are invaluable. As a new Head Coach I learn something new every day from Coach Daniel's website and podcast. He has one of the best services for coaches across the country. Thank you Coach!

Joe Grosso

Hastings High School (NY)

Culture of Winning

This past year was my first as a head football coach, and with help from Coach Daniel it was a very successful one. I was able to use JDFB Insiders to learn how to use systematic schemes, develop time efficient practices, educate assistant coaches, and establish a culture of winning. Joe Daniel's simplistic approach helped me with my understanding of the game, as well as my players.

Beau Jackson

West Greene 7th/8th Grade (PA)

Foundation of a Championship

Joe Daniel and his website is a wealth of knowledge and a huge help. Our entire defensive staff utilizes him and his resources. Changing from our defense to a 4-2-5 and being as effective as we have been would not have been possible without JDFB. His resources open up questions to allow your staff to put your players in the best position to win. The underlying principles can be the foundation of a championship program!

Rick Honaker

Ryle High School (KY)

Above and Beyond

Joe was a tremendous help for our team this season. I love Joe's systems and highly recommend them, but there are a lot of great systems out there. What makes JDFB different is the extent in which Joe interacts with his clients. Whether it is through the message board, live YouTube clinics, or direct contact, Joe goes above and beyond to assist his clients and the results show on the field.

Geoffrey Strickland

Asheville School (NC)

Tools That Work

JDFB can help every team in America. This isn't just clinic speak from colleges, or for big programs with large numbers. The information is useful at all levels. I can take what I've learned and implement it to improve our team. Too often I walk away from clinics thinking I can't use what we just learned because we don't have spring football or one-way players. We're a small school with two or three sport athletes who play offense, defense and special teams. JDFB gives me the tools that work with our program better than any other resources.
