We had a great time at Family Weekend! From a concert by our very own Zander Dawson to watching the Eagles football team practice, A&M TXK was the place to be! Soar Eagles!
The divorce rate among college and NFL coaches is estimated at 60 to 70 percent.
Joshua Eargle has coached 23 years. Five FBS bowl games. Thirteen players to the NFL. His wife, Kristen, has moved with him through 14 programs. One of their children, Landrey, has had 23 hospitalizations and needs around-the-clock care.
They have been with programs where the kids weren't welcome at the office. Their children went several days without seeing their father.
Now Eargle is building the first football program at Texas A&M-Texarkana. He hung a motto on it: "All families. All the time. Always welcome."
When a coach gets the job, his family gets the lifestyle. Nobody asks them first.
We pause this morning to reflect on the horrific events that took place 25 years ago... to thank those who ran into the fire, to honor those who took action in the sky, and to mourn the lives that were taken that day. We will never forget.
