PERSONAL NEWS: Excited, humbled to announce that I am joining @USATODAY@usatodaysports as College Sports Insider. Full-circle moment for me after starting in newspapers & reading USAT thru college & beyond. Many, including my great wife, Jess, have supported beyond measure.
Doesn’t happen w/o the great experience @FootballScoop alongside Scott, Doug & Zach; great colleagues & men.
Excited to roll later this month!
NEWS: Sources tell @FootballScoop that @GeorgiaTechFB is adding a key staffer to its recruiting department, tabbing former HBCU national champion OL TJ Demas as its assistant director of recruiting: https://t.co/yDSgUnB0rp
@FIUFootball@HCWillieSimmons Told y’all WS =Turnaround Specialist! 😉🐾💙 Now I need to update the graphic. #TheSimmonsEffect
Honored to experience each transformation firsthand, as @CoachHen501 has been along the ride from day one & the only coach hired on ALL 3 inaugural staffs…may be the lucky charm🍀😜
FIU would be crazy not to hire @HCWillieSimmons as their Head Coach. He is a PROVEN program TURN AROUND specialist w/ schools that have far LESS resources than FIU.
He is also a family man, leader, great recruiter, has FL roots, & can do more w/ less!! He is the PERFECT match!
"I don't put pressure on them about their shooting.
I put pressure on them on how hard they play, how hard they run, how much effort they give, how much passion they play with.
Those are my stats."
I asked Marcus Freeman what winning 70-7 can do for a team in the moment and moving forward.
His answer lets you in on how Notre Dame is able to win by so much in the first place.
“If it’s 70-7 or 10-7, if you don’t enjoy that, it’s a miserable life.”
Take nothing for granted.
For 6 years you went everywhere I went on away trips (even some places we shouldn’t have gone)! LOL You escorted me on and off the field for 58 staight games! The laughs shared between me, you, Troy, Jimmy and Detrick will never be forgotten! I wasn’t prepared to get the news Friday of your passing! Rest in Heaven brother! We love you Craig!!! 💔🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Proud of you bro! It’s been a blessing watching you grow. Can’t wait to see what God does with this next chapter — all love and respect! Grateful I got to be part of your journey! @Koby13k
