CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) - Miami Hurricanes assistant coach Greg Schiano uses one word - actually, three words - to describe his defensive scheme.
"Attack, attack, attack," he says.
Schiano is considered a coach on the rise, and a return to the NFL could be in his future. But for now, he's focused on bonding with his young Hurricanes players.
"Kids have to believe what they're doing is the right thing," he says. "You can have a one-man rush, and if they believe it's the right thing, they'll do it well.
"They need to see how you can help them get better. It's more prevalent in the NFL, but if a guy sees you as someone who can help them get better, they'll listen to every word you say. If they see you as someone who's full of it, they're not going to listen to you and they're not going to respect you”.
