This week, Coach Robert Irwin and talk with Dodge City Community College Head Coach Ricky Coon. Coach Coon talks about his coaching journey which includes stops at every level of college football, culminating with his current position at Dodge City. A longtime believer in the 4-2-5 defense, Coach Coon and the Conquistadors now employ a 3-4 scheme with a heavy dose of Bear and Tite fronts. Coach Coon talks about why he loves the 3-4 over the 4-2-5 and breaks down his fronts and fits with both the defensive line and linebackers. We then talk to Coach Coon about the challenges of being a head coach in the wake of a national pandemic and what he and his staff are doing during this time away from their team.
