Ferris State HC Tony Annese - Cardinal Rules to Successful Coaching

1. Serve the heart of your players, not their talents

2. Find the good in every player and enthusiastically celebrate whatever strength that individual displays

3. Show compassion and empathy for our players and provide the love and support they need to flourish

4. Love your position group and take care of them like they are your own children

5. Master your relationships with the Jimmy's and Joe's before you focus on the X's and O's

6. Be a Life Coach - Provide spiritual, emotional, and social awareness and support for the players - Understand how vulnerable young people are at this stage and provide the support they need to navigate through the challenges they face

7. Be a Doer! -Spend time with the Head Coach and determine what you can do to help him and the team

8. Be passionate about your role as a coach - Realize that you will impact more people in one year than most people do in a lifetime

9. Make the coaching staff your best friends - You are blessed to have the opportunity to connect with people who are working toward a common goal.

10. Be loyal to the University, Athletic Department, Coaching Staff, Head Coach, and the Players you serve.

@BrennonChapman This is a terrible look by the program and should make the next coach think about taking this job since nothing is long term in today’s game. 6 years is a great run as a coach nowadays, no loyalty on either side. I would say let’s go win one together before you go.

So basically everybody that matters went with him. This was poorly played by Ole Miss. The timing of how all this has to go down though is another big problem in college football. I wish Kiffin would have stayed but LSU is a tough long term opportunity to turn down.

@TuckerItaliano — Wide receivers coach George McDonald
— General manager Billy Glasscock
— Senior associate AD for football operations Thaddeus Rivers
— Head strength and conditioning coach Nick Savage
— offensive coordinator Charlie Weis Jr

All of these guys got on the plane to leave.

@OklahomaLocalSN Southern Ark is definitely the worst I have seen them in 3 seasons. Night and day from last year for sure.
