In this episode of KYPD, we are joined by Colorado School of Mines Defensive Coordinator and Defensive Line Coach, Tripp Thomas! We begin by talking about Coach's career which has spanned five states and vastly different experiences and his rise from a NAIA assistant, to high school coach, to Division II Defensive Coordinator in just a few short years. We talk about the unique challenges and benefits that come from coaching at CSM and the things they have done to help them be the one of the top rush defenses in the country in 2019 while being a primarily base defense. Coach goes on to talk more about his defensive philosophy, individual drills, and his advice for high school kids in the recruiting process.
