I would start here for a high level organizational start and understanding offensive schemes and adjustments.

If your team has been a sht show for a while, don't worry so much about attempting to do a lot of schematic things. Pick one front (4-2, 3-3 etc) learn a single zone coverage (C2,C3,C4 etc) and a man coverage (C1) add in only a very few blitzes. From there you can practice scheme specific drills with your guys. Spend more time on tackling and block destruction than anything else. Get comfortable with what you do and make sure you know how to formation adjust against everything you see. Get through one season doing it really simply and then review for additions and subtractions.

Key words: Simple, fundamentals, adjustments.

Any advise on where to start if I want to get into coaching? Football has always been in my life, playing since I was of age to and played only my senior year unfortunately.

I recently purchased this defensive coordinators book because I figured I'd start learning more on the defensive side because I played LB in HS. Is there any books you recommend? I really just want to take in as much as I can so it can be about offense/defense or just coaching in general.

I'm trying to volunteer with coaching at a low level to get my feet wet but it's a little difficult while overseas and only having the option of one DoD high school.
