My wife Tonya continues to inspire us as she battles breast cancer. As she finished the 2nd round of chemo, our son Bryce shaved his head in support. Several teammates joined the cause. These funny guys asked me if I wanted to participate. Love our players. #BetterDaysAhead

In honor of National Equipment Manager Week, we’d like to thank our Head Equipment Manager, Shawn Cronin. Shawn goes the extra mile for @jcusports, and we truly appreciate all he does. “Crone Dog” is the best.

Thank you, Shawn for making a difference.

TODAY MARKS ANOTHER YEAR SINCE MY INCREDIBLE WIFE FACED ONE OF THE HARDEST CHAPTERS OF HER LIFE.

[Dean Paul @coachDeanPaul]

We are grateful that the University, Administration & program supports this cause. Every 3 minutes, someone in the U.S. is diagnosed w/ blood cancer and while many patients can not find a donor in their family. That's when @nmdp_org steps in match patients with stem cell donors.

Raising awareness for @nmdp_org at Saturday’s game! See you at Shula! ⚡️

Game day Vibes from our youngest grandson Bryor. Start FAST & finish STRONG.

Congrats on this incredible accomplishment. @Coach_Talley & @KristaFinanRoss leading the way.

A milestone worth celebrating.

Built on the strength of college athletics and the powerful relationships among coaches nationwide, the NMDP Get in the Game Program has officially surpassed 2,000 blood stem cell donors.

That’s more than 2,000 people who stepped up and said yes to the opportunity to potentially save a life.

We’re incredibly proud of the athletic administrators, coaches, and student-athletes who continue to make this impact possible—and grateful to everyone who has chosen to Get in the Game. @TalleyBoneMarro @nmdp_org

As we conclude training camp, it seems like a good time to thank the defensive coaches for their hard work and dedication. This is a fun group to work with, and they definitely keep me young! Grateful for all they do.

Happy Birthday to our son, @brycerpaul. This is the 1st BDay we’ve spent apart, and It seems like a good time to cherish some awesome memories—starting w/ the year he was born, when we started 11-0; the opportunity I had to coach him; & 2 great years here at JCU. Love you Brycer.

@STUPrez The real ones know.

[Dean Paul @coachDeanPaul]

It’s always a thrill to meet retired coaches who enjoyed such great success. We were fortunate to meet former OSU coach John Cooper in Columbus on Sunday, and former NFL coach Dave Wannstedt while he was dropping off his grandson at camp at JCU. Both men were incredibly gracious.
