How did the Miami 4-3 Defense come to be one of the most popular defenses in football today? Here\\u2019s the background.

When Jimmy Johnson installed his 4-3 Defense at the University of Miami, he built a great defense. It continues to expand and adapt with the evolution of offensive football, year after year.

In this episode of The Football Coaching Podcast, we\\u2019ll look back at the origins of the 4-3 Defense, before Miami. The Even 4-3 Defense and Tom Landry\\u2019s Flex 4-3 Defense get examined.

Then we\\u2019ll break down the basic philosophy and foundations of the Miami 4-3 Defense that I teach today in our 4-3 Defense System.
