Coaching Points From a Master, 29 Oct 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Coaching Team Defense (Paperback)
Fritz Shurmur provides valuable coaching points on many aspects of football defense, such as personnel requirements, run and pass defense, pass coverage, nickel defenses, practice organization, and scouting information. Rather than present a specific defense, as he does with The Eagle Five-Linebacker Defense, Coach Shurmur delivers something closer to a coaching clinic featuring diagrams, player responsibilities, and coaching tips that any coach would find helpful and which can be adapted to work in any system.

Greatest Defensive book ever written........., 18 April 2005
By Patricia Carter "king" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Coaching Team Defense (Paperback)
So few things in life can ever be truly certain, but this book by the defensive coodinator of the 1996 World Champion Green Bay Packers is the #1 book ever written on defensive football......It covers EVERYTHING. Scouting the opponent, techniques, different packages, overall philosophy...It has it all. Bill Arnsparger's book WAS #1 until I read Shurmur's CLASSIC!!!!!!!! He died of cancer in 2000, but Shurmur's book on defense will be very relevent and helpful FOREVER.

One of The Great Minds in Football, WE WILL MISS YOU!, 27 Mar 2006
By COACH LOUIS - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Coaching Team Defense (Paperback)
I purchased this book for my private collection. This book is a steal at any price. It covers everything you want to know about defense and it does it well. It is easy to read and follow. Once you start reading it you cannot put it down. If I did not already have it, I would buy this book before they were all gone.
