Defensive Coordinator, Skyler Cassity Media Availability

Skyler Cassity Media Availabilityhttps://youtu.be/EljCOVDdIC4Had the chance to ask Coach Cassity some questions, and he's SUPER impressive. His conviction and belief in what he does will sell you on the spot. His confidence will be contagious, and it will attract competitive people.The message is, do your 1/11. And if that happens, the defense functions at a HIGH level. Another thing that sticks out, at least to me, and it's along the same lines, is how convicted he already is in exactly what he does.And what is he so convicted about?First, this defense is going to play aggressively. In fact, being aggressive is a mandate from Coach Morris, but it also matches perfectly with the principles and philosophies of Coach Cassity as well.It's also going to be versatile. Multiple fronts, multiple coverages, anywhere from man to every-eyes-on-QB zone in the back.So, then the question becomes, how do you get this many new players to understand the complexities of doing this many things?He didn't hesitate to talk about how "bought in" each player is . And while this defense will be VERY multiple, within that structure, it's a 1/11 approach. Every piece of that 11-man pie has to be simple enough for each player to understand, to the point where they don't overanalyze and can play fast.That's one part, maybe the biggest part I'm excited about. When you can make the overall scheme very versatile and complex, but then make each player's individual responsibilities very straightforward and simple to understand, you get the best of all worlds.That's the plan, and I can't wait to see it!Hear from Coach Cassity himself. #GoPokes #OkState#GoPokes #OkState
