Hey Coaches,
Someday, someone else will have your job.
They’ll sit in your office, wear your gear, and lead the program you once called yours.
That’s not meant to diminish the importance of your work. It’s simply a reminder that we’re all replaceable professionally.
But there are roles in your life that nobody else can fill.
Your children only have one you. Your spouse only has one you.
Don’t become so consumed with being excellent in a role that someone else can eventually fill that you neglect the roles that only you can fulfill.
I’m all for pursuing excellence in your profession.
But just make sure you're bringing that same commitment to the roles that only you can fulfill.
Most OL problems aren’t scheme problems.
They’re FUNDAMENTAL problems.
If your offensive line can’t consistently execute base, down, reach, and combination blocks, adding more plays won’t fix it.
IMO: Unless you as an Assistant Coach are giving a shoutout or saying something positive about an individual player or position group...The only person that needs to talk after practice or after the game is the head coach.
NEW: UCLA head coach Bob Chesney on his goals for the 2026 season and whether they've changed:
"Goals are for people that want to win once. Process and standards are for people that want to win longterm."

0.1% of people know anything about Offensive Line Play.
Don't waste your time arguing with the other 99.9% of people.
But, when the 0.1% speaks... listen & learn.
