I’ve received several questions in the past month on LB drills and if I had any tape. This video is a clinic tape a developed for former Baylor LB Coach Jim Gush. The tape goes through basic philosophies, daily reminders, and highlights multiple drills. The clinic is broken down into several sections:
- Philosophy/Points of Emphasis
- Techniques and Fundamentals
- Bag Drills
- Ball Drills
- Pass Drops
- Tackling Drills
- Block Protection and Key Drills
- Special Situations
The video itself is about 30 minutes long and is a valuable reference tool for coaching linebackers. The drills mesh well with a 4-2-5 scheme or a single-gap fitting 3-4 (Okie). Everything in this video was developed by Coach Gush. While at Baylor he developed several standout LBs and two All-Big 12 members (2011-2016):
- Bryce Hagar (2nd – 2012/2014)
- Eddie Lackey (1st – 2013)
- 8 Honorable Mentions
