National championships come few and far between for college coaches. Mike Hankwitz experienced this once-in-a-lifetime feeling as he lead the Colorado defense to the 1990 National Championship. His experience as a 21-year defensive coordinator is unparalleled. This DVD will proclaim Coach Hankwitz's knowledge of the blitz and how it can be used to success. There are 7 Blitz Principles that form the foundation for aggressive football. Some of the key principles are blitzes out of various fronts, using your best blitzer, creating mismatches with your personnel and the scheme, and disguising the blitz. The disguise will make your blitz look like zone. Ultimately, you want your best coverage match-ups, allowing for your best players matched with your opponents best. Because Coach Hankwitz's scheme includes 25 percent zone blitz, the man blitz is an excellent compliment to their overall defensive attack. Complimented with video clips, a total of 18 different blitz looks are broken down. Each element of the blitz is unique yet effective in the overall defensive scheme. Some of the looks include 45 Strike Red & Hammer, 53 Blitz Black & Blood Blue. The 53 Cowboy Blue implements the psycho technique. In the Dime Crash, 6 defensive backs drop back into coverage. Two backers are sent up the middle in Dime Raider Blue and Nickel Arrow Blue. The N Attack Green is a 7-man overload look, and Dime Fire Green is used against spread offensive teams. Dime Sable Green gives a different look as defensive pressure comes right up the middle. The 3-man linebacker cross is seen on video in the 30 Blood Blue and the man blitz with free safety is utilized in 53 Fade Red. The advantage of this presentation is the variety of blitz looks that are possible. A coach can pick the blitz formations that fit his team and defensive philosophy. Calling a blitz at the right time could be a major turning point in a big game. Add needed weapons to your defensive arsenal with this superb DVD.

Building a "Base" Defense
with Mike Hankwitz,
Northwestern University Defensive Coordinator/Safeties Coach
former University of Wisconsin Defensive Coordinator

Mike Hankwitz's accomplishments as a coach are incredible. In his 21 years as a defensive coordinator he has experienced 18 winning seasons, 15 bowl games and seven conference championships. As the defensive mastermind behind the 1990 Colorado national champions, Coach Hankwitz knows what it takes to win at the highest collegiate levels. This presentation focuses on the base defense that Hankwitz has installed at his last four schools; Wisconsin, Colorado, Arizona, and Texas A & M. His experience has helped him blend 4-3 defenses into the 3-4 defense. Multiple formations such as Field, bench, Strong and Tight are discussed. This base defense is strengthened by executing zone blitz's 25 percent of the time. Hankwitz impressively covers the Field Cover 4 defense and its adjustments. Variations of this base defense illustrated are vs. double width formations, 3 x 1 formation to the field, 3 x 1 formation to the boundary, unbalanced and empty. Also shown is Field 4 Press where the corners press up on the outside. Segments of the base defense are the Cleo, stunts to take away blocking angles and Field Storm. In addition, the safety blitz, field fade and the weak side "field cobra" blitz are used to fortify this basic defense. Hankwitz's no-nonsense approach to defensive football can be witnessed on this DVD. Successful teams from youth to the NFL begin with a solid, fundamental defense. Take the lead from the master of the base defense and lay the defensive groundwork in your program. This impenetrable base will keep opponents out of the end zone year after yea.
