[Skyline Coyotes Football @FootballCoyotes]

Skyline Football proudly welcomes home one of its own, Anvil Sinsabaugh, as he returns to lead and mentor the next generation of Coyotes as Associate Head Coach.

A proud Skyline High School alumnus, Coach Sinsabaugh brings a wealth of collegiate playing and coaching experience with a proven record of developing championship-caliber athletes and defenses. His coaching journey has included stops at Morningside College, Montana State-Northern, University of Montana Western, and Dakota State University, where he has served in multiple leadership roles including offensive line coach, recruiting coordinator, linebackers coach, and defensive coordinator. (Dakota State University)

At Dakota State, Sinsabaugh established himself as one of the premier defensive minds in the conference, leading defenses that consistently ranked among the North Star Athletic Association’s best in scoring defense, total defense, and turnovers forced. His impact was recognized in 2024 when he was voted the North Star Athletic Association Assistant Coach of the Year by his peers after guiding Dakota State to one of the top defensive seasons in the conference.

Known for his passion, leadership, and commitment to player development, Coach Sinsabaugh returns to Skyline with a deep understanding of the program’s traditions and values. His experience at the collegiate level, combined with his pride in being a former Coyote, makes him uniquely positioned to help Skyline Football build a championship culture.

Welcome home, Coach Sinsabaugh. Once a Coyote, always a Coyote. @CoachSinsabaugh #OnePackOneGoal #creatingalegacyofexcellence

Pain is the entry fee. There is no discount.

The teams that win are the teams that volunteer for pain. Extra conditioning. The set everybody wants to skip. The film session after a 12 hour day.

The teams that lose negotiate with the pain. They look for the deal. They look for the shortcut. There isn’t one.

[Coach Miller @TheShaqMiller]

Not sure who needs to hear this but posting an offer from a D2 school is not going to stop a D1 from offering you lol. You actually enter some FCS schools radar when specific D2 schools offer you because they trust that D2 coach’s evaluation and have seen the athletes they produce!

[Jake Allen @Coach_J_Allen]

Watching other states able to wear helmets in the offseason infuriates me. We don’t need full contact or full pads. But helmets in the spring and summer would end COUNTLESS unnecessary injuries and prep players in a safe manner for the season. What’s an argument against it?

[Secretary of War Pete Hegseth @SecWar]

Eighty-two years ago today, freedom stood on the edge of extinction, and Allied forces stormed into hell to help save the world.

We will never forget the courage, the sacrifice, and the blood spilled on that fateful day.

🚨 Parents of High School Football Recruits

One of the biggest mistakes I see in recruiting is when parents try to take over the process instead of supporting it

College coaches are evaluating much more than film, statistics, and athletic ability. They are evaluating how a prospect communicates, handles adversity, interacts with others, and whether the family will be a positive fit within the program

Over the years, I have seen talented players miss opportunities because of poor communication, unrealistic expectations, social media issues, constant parental involvement, or simply a lack of understanding of how recruiting actually works

Some of the biggest mistakes parents make:

🔹 Speaking for their son during the recruiting process

🔹 Contacting coaches excessively

🔹 Treating camp invites as scholarship offers

🔹 Inflating height, weight, or testing numbers

🔹 Comparing their son to other recruits

🔹 Focusing too much on rankings and social media attention

🔹 Ignoring academic requirements

🔹 Chasing every camp without a recruiting plan

🔹 Becoming overly focused on NIL or one specific level of football

🔹 Creating unnecessary drama with coaches, programs, or teammates

A camp invite is not an offer. Rankings do not determine a player’s future. More camps do not automatically lead to more opportunities. And playing at the highest level possible is not always the same as finding the right fit

The best recruiting families:

✅ Allow their son to take ownership of the process

✅ Communicate professionally and respectfully

✅ Focus on academics as much as football

✅ Stay realistic about recruiting opportunities

✅ Trust the evaluation process

✅ Keep the focus on long term development and fit

Parents should focus on helping their son become the best student, athlete, and young man possible. Be supportive, be realistic, trust the process, and allow your son to take ownership of his recruitment

The families that navigate recruiting the best are usually the ones who stay humble, stay professional, and understand that recruiting is about finding the right fit, not winning a popularity contest

🏈 At the end of the day, the goal is not to win recruiting.

It is to help your son find the right school, earn a degree, continue playing football, and create opportunities that will benefit him long after his playing days are over

Tom Coughlin said, "You never want an opponent to see you in anything, but strength."

"You don't want bad language. You don't want that as a stamp of who you are."

Your body language speaks before you do.

Your presence, your tone, your energy - everything speaks.

I miss when the best of the best played and your buddies worked like hell in practice to compete with you give you guys a look but hopefully take your spot. Competition teaches morals.

[RedWave Press @RedWavePress]

SHOCKING: A growing number of middle school athletes — mostly boys — are intentionally repeating 8th grade to delay their start in high school, giving themselves another full year to get bigger, stronger, and faster, which in turn dramatically boosts their chances at elite high school spots, college scholarships, and massive NIL deals potentially worth millions.

William La Jeunesse: “Of 8M high school students in sports only 7% will play in college.”

“On the other hand, the [likely] number one pick in this year’s NBA draft, [AJ Dybantsa], did 8th grade twice.”

CRAZY IDEA: How about we let more kids be kids!

As recruiting “ramps up” the next month, be aware that I PERSONALLY just recieved an email from a Power 4 school recruiting me.

I am 37.

Find someone you trust to help work through real interest and keep a positive mindset throughout!
