Summary: Good but not great
Comment: First of all this book does a solid job showing the basics of installing the 4-3 front and the slide front which I like more. It also shows some of the very basics of installing the 4-6 Bear.
A couple of the things that I found lacking in the book were in the terminology department and that there were diagrams mislabeled and some of the drills that they suggest in the back were not described. I think it worked out to half with descriptions and half without.
The major problem that I ran into was the terminology of the defensive coverages. What they term a Cover 4 is actually a Cover 2 Lock or Man where you play man coverage underneath the two deep safeties. And some of the coverage adjustments seemed a little exotic for the twins and trips. Either you're a base man coverage team or you're a zone coverage team, and you shouldn't change what you do best just because the other team does something unexpected.
These little gripes of mine don't detract from the overall good product put out. You will always run into terminology difference in football, and this is a solid book and starts with solid foundations and builds on them throughout. Not highly recommended, but still a good buy.

Summary: Awesome lay out in implementing the 4-3
Comment: I have coached at the pee-wee(13-16 yrs) and at the high school level and have had very good success with the 4-4 and the 5-3. Recently I started coaching at the "semi-pro" level where we only practice twice a week. This book was awesome in assisting me to implement this defense. It's easy to follow but very in-depth. A must have for any one implementing a 4-3 def. program and a terrific guide and reference for a 4-3 already in place. Coach D.

Summary: Great at explaining the fundamentals of the 4-3
Comment: The strength of this book is its specificity toward the fundamentals required of each position in the 4-3 defense the way they ran it a Clovis High. There is not alot of variations given however, so if you want to show multiple fronts you may want to get another book in addition to this one.
