This week’s guest on Inside the Headset with the AFCA is Richan Gaskins, defensive backs coach at Ferrum College.

He joined us while on the road recruiting the DC/Maryland area. Coach Gaskins shared his coaching background including a stop at Gallaudet University where communicating with players who were deaf and hard of hearing improved his coaching skills. He also provided his thoughts on combating tempo and RPO offenses, plus his answer on the hotly debated question, do you teach the shuffle or backpedal to your cornerbacks?
