Master Your Technique - Mike Waufle, Retired NFL Defensive Line Coach

Mike Waufle most recently served as the defensive line coach for the Buffalo Bills. Coach Waufle served as defensive line coach for the Oakland Raiders from 1998 to 2003 and coached in Super Bowl XXXVII. Waufle coached primarily single-gap four-man defensive lines in 4-3 Defenses. He was the defensive line coach for the New York Giants from 2004 to 2009. He won Super Bowl XLII in 2007.

He returned to the Raiders in 2010. From 2012 to 2016, he was the defensive line coach for St. Louis/Los Angeles Rams under head coach Jeff Fisher. He coached the Buffalo Bills defensive line in 2017 and retired after the 2017 season.

In the segment from the 2022 C.O.O.L. Clinic, he shares how his classroom is unique and then goes into the six components of get-off, which he repped every single day.

While he focuses his presentation on defensive line play, there’s a lot to learn here about teaching your players, regardless of the position, to master their technique.
