Head Football Coach Nettleton High School

Sadly, many parents wouldn’t agree. Reason….in HS, little Johnny has to compete for a position. In travel, you pay for one. That’s the difference and most parents will never admit that.

@DJournalSports @JohnLPitts @Bfarrell727 Tupelo’s loss!

Just had a student in my strength and power class, tell me “Coach, your standards are too high”

Yeah because wearing shoes, changing for class and putting your weights away is such a high standard…. Idk about these kids anymore

Bonus visit at the NEMFCA All-Star game with my Ripley connection Cooper Winter, video king now for Northeast CC!

It was great getting to watch Travis Sullivan represent the Nettleton Tigers in the NEMFCA All-Star game last night. His team ( South Team) won.

@jperry_nixa Ordered today!

[Chance Lovertich @Coach_Lovertich]

RIP Grandpa! Doug Hutton. Absolute legend and such a blessing to call him my Grandpa. Winner, leader of men, and an even better person. Humble man who always put his family first. Used to love hearing stories about the player and coach he was back in the day.

[Larry Gann @RLGann]

@Coach_Lovertich I am so sorry to hear about Coach passing. I had the pleasure of coaching at Clinton while he was there. A great man that influenced a whole generation of young people and young coaches. Prayers for his family.

Celebrate Mother’s Day 2026 with a heartfelt message from Coach Paul “Bear” Bryant.

Happy Mother’s Day 2026!

Have you called your mother today?

Soon after Charlie Strong was fired at Texas in November 2016, he went home and isolated himself in his office. He picked up a yellow legal pad and started writing. Day after day, page after page:

What could I have done better?
What really happened?
What are you going to change?

Sean McDermott is doing something similar right now. After nine seasons and a 98–50 record in Buffalo, he built a new routine from scratch, including six to eight hours of self-assigned film study daily.

Dan Quinn, fired by Atlanta after a 0-5 start in 2020, put it plainly: "I wasn't going to be the blame person or a victim. I've got to gain something from this."

The thread running through these men is the willingness to treat failure as a curriculum.

Many people, when they get knocked down professionally, either rush to the next thing or retreat into bitterness. The coaches who come back stronger tend to do something harder: they sit in the discomfort long enough to learn from it, and they ask the questions that have no flattering answers.

When was the last time you sat with a difficult question long enough to fully answer it?

When things go wrong, do you reach for the next opportunity, or reach for the honest question first?

As McDermott told The Athletic: "When you stop asking questions, that's when you get yourself into trouble."

[Sean @Sbarry___]

@CoachSwit This fully depends on your staff. If you have a great staff you can be involved in the program, but let them coach their squads and build their abilities. There’s a lot going on between ignoring a feeder program and directly coaching it.

[Larry Gann @RLGann]

@PByrdlm @JohnLPitts Correct!

[Larry Gann @RLGann]

Thursday motivation.

[Larry Gann @RLGann]

@CalhCoJournal Congratulations Coach!

[Coach Jeff Barnes @JeffBarnes52]

As an AD, you learn quickly that the loudest voices are not always the right ones. Many are driven by personal agendas, not the mission of the program. Volume does not equal value. Stay anchored to the people and principles that actually move your program forward.

[Larry Gann @RLGann]

@RipleyHS A great young man! Congratulations!
