Intro:
   The goal of this guide is to get you off to a good start by giving you
the offensive and defensive philosophies of all free agent coaches in the 2006
pre-season. This permits you to know who to avoid wasting interviews on coaches
who are not your philosophy of coaching.

Philosophy Glossary:
   The following is a list of all of the offensive and defensive philosophies
and a short explanation of their focus. Each coach (including your own) has one
offensive philosophy and one defensive philosophy.

Offense:
Spread - This philosophy focuses on creating holes in a defense by
flooding it with receivers

Verticle - This philosphy utilizes speed to stretch a defense down a field.

Singleback - This philosophy stresses a balanced attack with the pass or run,
usually requiring a more powerful halfback and good blocking tightends.

Balanced - This philosphy focuses on a traditional system that uses the run to
set up the pass.

West Coast - This philosophy focuses on a pass first offense that utilizes
quick timing routes.

Defense:

Cover 2 - This philosophy emphasizes zone coverage. Avoid most blitzes in this
philosophy because it creates holes for the opposing quarterback to expoit.

4-3 - This philosophy relies on a strong defensive line and a sold middle
linebacker. This philosophy contemplates fast defensive ends and run stopping
defensive tackles. Defensive backs who are good in man coverage wouldn't hurt
either.

3-4 - This philosophy emphasizes the outside linebacker blitz. You will also
need an extremely capable run stopping line.

4-6 - This philosophy focuses on overloading the offensive line.

Hybrid - This philosophy is a mixture of the 4-3 and 3-4.


   So that you know, your players seem to improve based on a somewhat
complex formula. If the player has a good week of practice or a good game, and
your head coach has a high rating in that position, and your coordinator and
position coaches have high ratings in that position, have a similar style, and
high trust levels, then your player will tend to improve. For example, I have
the Dolphins and use a Balanced Offense/4-3 defense. Based on my offensive
gameplan, Randy McMichael is making 5-10 receptions for 100+ yards a game and
at least two touchdowns. He has gone from a 91 overall to a 97 overall in half
a season. However, he only made those strides because my Offensive Coordinator
(Nick Saban) and my Tight End Coach (Trey Meeks) both have a balanced style and
high trust levels).
     I have completed this guide while trying to find coaches for my purposes.
I have therefore included not only the free agent coaches as well as the
original Dolphins coaches. I will first list the coaches and their respective
styles. I will also list the top 5 coaches for each position for the Balanced
style and 4-3 style. Owing to time, I cannot go further than this. I believe
that this start will help you if you prefer a different style so that you know
which coaches to interview.
     Another note. Some coaches naturally prefer offense or defense. If you
have open positions on each side, your coach may indicate that preference by the
questions asked. Nevertheless, these styles appear to be preset.
     If you have numbers for the other styles, I recommend sending them in, but
that is purely your choice. Remember that you have a total of seven interview
opportunities in the coach management week before your owner gets upset.
