I think the caveat here to Big John's method of tackling is the head can not be the first item of the tackler to make contact with the tacklee. The tackler can not lead with his head, imagining a kid with his arms to his side and his helmet drilling the opponent in the chest as the primary method of face tackling.

You might want to ask the prospective coach to demonstrate his method in a follow-up interview. He may just mean that he wants to teach the kids to wrap up and then drive thought the chest without using the helmet as a weapon. In his excitement, he may have just left off the pertinent and legal details.
