From A Football Life: @WesWelker's HS coach reached out to 105 colleges on behalf of Wes Welker ... Only 1 school responded: @TexasTechFB (Thanks to Tommy McVay).
Mike Leach was on the phone with McVay discussing whether to offer Welker a scholarship ... In front of Welker 🤣
By the end of Welker's Texas Tech career, he was Tech's all-time leader in:
- Catches (259)
- Receiving Yards (3,069)
- *Punt Return Yards (1,761 - also NCAA record)
- Punt Return TDs (8 - a then NCAA record)
- All Purpose Yards (5,730)
* = still the all-time leader
From the "little kid from Oklahoma City", to one of the greatest slot receivers we've ever seen. Incredible journey!
🚨 UT - 4 Base Drill
Emphasis on:
• Working on footwork
• Throwing from different slots
• Accuracy under pressure
⭐️ Great example of making your practice harder + faster than the game!
You don't remember the teacher who gave you the easy A.
You remember the one who wouldn't let you quit.
Dan Hurley just described every great coach.
Discipline. Accountability. Commitment.
And a bond with players that the cameras never capture.🔥

I took the L on bragging rights this time… but what a moment.
Our father is definitely smiling down.
My brother and I live this game, while moments come and go, we’re focused on growing the game.
Turning young men into leaders, on and off the field.
I asked Tom Izzo about the viral clip of Charles Barkley defending his coaching style by saying people have gotten too soft.
Izzo: "Now we're supposed to just hug and kiss everybody... Accountability is going to be big until I leave."
I asked Dan Hurley the same question I asked Tom Izzo: why does the media have a problem with coaches coaching players hard?
Hurley: "Society has gotten soft in a lot of ways... The real world is tough and cruel... I'm preparing my players for life."
Good luck to all the NJ high schools kicking off baseball season today!
Excited to get things rolling at @Pahsbsbl
Here’s our schedule for the season.
Opening Day: March 28 vs. Teaneck at Hawthorne Field.
A little family competition to start the year.
I really do LOVE the idea of a Mike LaFleur Raheem Morris pairing for the Arizona Cardinals.
But damn, Anthony Campanile might be the next superstar head coach.
Tough decisions in Arizona this week ⬇️
This is going to be fun. Back in New Jersey. Honored to lead the baseball program at the state’s largest public high school. Time to get to work. Go Panthers! @PantherAmboy
