In this episode of the Coaching 101 podcast, Daniel Chamberlain and Kenny Simpson dive into the nitty-gritty of defensive football strategies, specifically focusing on the 4-2-5 defensive formation. Joined by first-year head coach Brady Bradbury, they discuss the evolution of Bradbury's coaching career, transitioning from player to coach, and his recent shift to embracing the 4-2-5 defense at his school. The discussion further delves into the simplicity and flexibility of the 4-2-5 system, comparing it with the 3-4 and 4-3 schemes, and how it allows for easier adjustment to multiple offensive formations while keeping defensive principles straightforward.
