Coach and Coordinator Podcast Defeating the Tite Front - Matt Drinkall, Co-OC, OL Coach, Army West Point
We will be re-publishing some episodes from our archives as we have moved to a new platform. Our old platform limited us to the 500 most current episodes, and there is just too much good stuff from our past guests to leave off of our feed.
Today’s episode is a prime example of that. This podcast with Matt Drinkall is from 2019 after he joined the Army staff as the TE Coach. He’s been named the Co-Offensive Coordinator and Offensive Line Coach in 2023, and we are excited about the style he will bring to the Army offense because he is not an “option guy.”
The tite front has gained popularity across all levels of football, and in today’s episode, Coach Drinkall shares a plan for defeating it. There are a ton of takeaways from this one, so get your pen and notebook ready to capture some of these ideas.
He also has a playlist that we will publish from him. Coach Drinkall always delivers great information on our podcast.
