So incredibly thankful for the short time with our boy Kohen Jay. He went to be with Jesus early Monday morning. If you feel called to participate, we will wear blue tomorrow to honor our son as we celebrate his amazing life๐ฉต #TeamKohen
Wins fade. Relationships donโt.

Coach accordingly.
Why Coaching Is Harder Than People Think (A Holiday Reminder)โฆ
Because coaching isnโt just about plays, drills, or game nights.
Itโs about people.
Itโs about walking into practice every day and managing emotions you didnโt create but are responsible for.
Your own.
Your players.
Your assistants.
Parents.
Administrators.
Fans.
Itโs about teaching kids who are all at different stages.
Different maturity levels.
Different confidence levels.
Different home situations.
And somehow holding them to the same standards while still meeting them where they are.
Itโs about decisions that look simple from the stands but feel heavy from the sideline.
Who plays.
When.
Why.
How you communicate it.
And how that decision might land on a 16-year-old who ties their identity to minutes.
Itโs about losing sleep over kids who wonโt buy in.
Over conversations you need to have.
Over mistakes you replay in your head long after everyone else moved on.
Itโs about being judged by people who see the outcome, not the process.
The scoreboard, not the hours.
The result, not the relationships.
And yet, you show up again.
You plan. You teach. You model. You care.
As the season slows and the holidays arrive, this is the reminder:
What you do matters.
Even when it goes unseen.
Even when it feels heavy.
Even when itโs hard.
Coaching is about influence. And influence lasts longer than any season.
Thatโs why coaching is harder than people think. And also why it matters so much.
As the year winds down, I hope you find a little rest, a little perspective, and a lot of pride in the work youโre doing.
๐Happy Holidays, Coach.
My little brother passed away 10 years ago. He wouldโve loved that I picked Notre Dame. Chad, love you buddy! @PlayersTribune

Jeremiyah Love is a unique talent. But long before he stepped on a football field, Love and his parents knew he was different.

My favorite part of the Magic-Bird rivalry is that two men from different worlds who competed like rabid animals came to legitimately love one another. Thatโs the best of what sports has to offer if you ask me.
"Give me my first love!"
Lee Corso's first-ever headgear pick belonged to Brutus and the Buckeyes and it's only fitting that his last one is the same โค๏ธ
