I am not ashamed of my journey. My life will be a testimony.
But if I could offer a word of advice to any freshman, sophomore or junior athlete in high school it would be to just listen bro. All them adults in your life not just talking to talk. They been here longer. They done bumped they head already. They trying to save you from doing the same thing.

Do not make the mistake of thinking your talent alone is enough. It’s not. Talent open doors. Character and grades keep you there. And if you already messed up, if your GPA not where it should be, if your name been in rooms for the wrong reasons… don’t quit. Keep digging. You can climb out the hole the same way you dug it.

Class of 29, 28 and 27 hear me.

Take your grades serious.
Choose who you hang around wisely.
Protect your name. Word spreads fast if you a crash out.
Respect authority. Nobody riding for you like your parents and coaches.
Work hard when nobody clapping.
Do not wait until senior year to lock in. That GPA do not lie.
I’m still figuring it out myself. I’m struggling but I know God got me.

Be intentional.
Lock in early. Pray. Show up ready to work.

I’m learning the hard way that my future is being built in the small decisions I make today.

Start now.

This has got to stop being promoted as “good offensive line play”

Recruits, stop doing this. Coaches aren’t impressed.

The amount of coaches we have interviewed that want to be coordinators that cannot draw power vs an under front is ASTOUNDING

Aaron Glenn said, "Culture is about people."

"The best form of leadership is influence. The guys we brought in, they really influence everybody within this organization, within this team."

Your culture is demonstrated every day through your attitudes, behaviors, and values.

Bill Parcells said, "Losers assemble in little groups and complain about the coaches and the players in other little groups."

Complaining is not a solution, IT'S A DISTRACTION!

It distracts you from action, gratitude, and positivity.

If i’m ever a HC again I’m banning the following:

“What are you doing”

“Block somebody”

“You gotta tackle”

“You gotta make a play”

“Catch the ball”

None of the above convey anything of substance and is just noise

Football Twitter do your thing

Add to the list on coach-isms for me to ban

THE #1 assistant you will hire as a head coach… OL. You can hide play calling mistakes with an OL. Just my opinion. I’ve coached every level of D & O. I’ve called both sides. If you’ve got dudes coaching your fronts you’ll be ok.

For all the coaches, athletes, and leaders in the arena every day...

Here is a great reminder.

The Man in the Arena: By Teddy Roosevelt

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither knows victory nor defeat."

Don't let laziness hold you back!

Deion Sanders said, "I want to see you practice. Because how you practice is who you are."

Greatness starts with your preparation.
• Embrace the boredom of consistency.
• Put in the work.
• Put in the time.

With football starting, here are the top things heard from the stands:
1. "Get him"
2. "Make a play"
3. "Catch the ball"
4. "Come on coach"
5. "Stop running up the middle"
6. "Come on Ref"
7. "Block Somebody"
8. "Throw the ball"
9. "Run faster"
10. "That's a hold"
