Not That There's Anything Wrong With This Coaching

MZone reader MA sent us the YouTube link and stills below from an online coaching video called SUCCESSFUL COACHING: JOHN COOPER - DEFENSIVE ENDS.

Now, a couple things caught our eye about this gem (and no, not just the title). First, in the YouTube description of the clip it states:

This program teaches fundamental techniques, drills and championship philosophy. Learn how to improve your technique and learn from one of the legends of the game. John Cooper is the 6th winningest active coach with a career mark of 179-73-6 and has led the Ohio State Buckeyes for the past 13 years. His Buckeyes have won 62 games over the past six seasons nad in the decade of the 90's Ohio State compiled an 85-23-3 record, eighth best among all Division 1-A schools and captured a national title for 2003.

Naturally, I was quite surprised to read the above as I thought Jim Tressel was the one that led Tuos to the National Title in '03. My bad.

And then there were the stills MA sent from the video that the eternal 8th grader in us couldn't help but wonder just what these drills were teaching...
