Kirby Smart doesn’t talk about winning - he talks about his non-negotiables.
A masterclass on standards, toughness, and relentless effort.

‼️Coach Gruden with a message that can resonate with every coach and player at every single level of football.
🔥He makes four key points. Listen and soak it up.
Billy Schrauth definitely believed he would be on the national championship stage some day. He visualized it growing up. The St. Mary's Springs legend plays for a natty tonight, starting at LG for Notre Dame. #CFPlayoffs@FightingIrish@NDFootball
“When you worry about results like so many people in our society do, it makes it tough to ever be happy. We don’t concern ourselves with the results, we try to focus on what exactly it is we want to achieve Unbelievable effort, toughness, resiliency. If you do that, you’ll get good results,” Kirby Smart
“The truth is you don’t have to be special. You just have to be what most people aren’t. Consistent, determined and willing to work for it. No shortcuts,” @TomBrady
Relentless effort combined with discipline will afford you countless opportunities.
“To be successful at anything, you don't have to be special. You just have to be what most people aren't…consistent, determined and willing to work for it. No shortcuts."

@Cheesecurd19 @TomPelissero@CoachVrabel50 take this job. I know it’s not the head job, but less BS, and you still have money coming from the Titans. Wait until the next coaching cycle to take another head job.
@mattschneidman@skcreno27 In a world where there are kickers lined up for another opportunity in the NFL, GB sticks with what was a clear liability all year. And at the end of the day, it very likely cost them a conference championship playoff opportunity. I blame the GM/HC more than Kicker at this point.

Good players workout…great players OUTWORK.
@barstoolsports @Cheesecurd19 I like the hire. Time will tell. Hard to see if he built that Washington team or if Stark did, but either way it appears he can coach ball, and Saban is still going to be a huge impact on recruiting for Bama.
Nick Saban, the undisputed GOAT:
-297-71-1 Career Record
-7 National Championships
-11 SEC Championships
-1 MAC Championship
-5x SEC Coach of Year
-2x Paul “Bear” Bryant Award Winner
-2x Walter Camp Coach of the Year
-2x AP Coach of the Year
BEST. EVER. 🐐

Wow!!
Surprised but not shocked by Coach Saban stepping down. Best to ever do it. From 2008-2023 he compiled a record of 199-16!!!! That’s an average of 12 wins in the last 16 seasons. As consistent and good as the sport has ever seen!
Thank you coach for all you put into the great sport of CFB! Excited to see what’s next!
Vince Lombardi said, “Leaders are made, they are not born. And they are made just like anything else, through hard work."
Leadership is your behavior.
It's about turning a vision into a reality, whether it's leading yourself or a team.
When you lead a team, guide them with connection and influence. You need to:
• Empower others
• Build relationships
• Communicate and connect
When you lead yourself, guide yourself with logic and reason. You need to:
• Be disciplined
• Engage in critical thinking
• Approach challenges with focus and resilience
6 Competences that ALL Leaders Need:
1. Accountability - Embrace responsibility for your actions and decisions because this ensures honesty and integrity in all you do.
2. Adaptability - Stay flexible and open-minded. Alter your strategies as needed because circumstances will always change.
3. Collaboration - Engage with yourself and your team. Think through different options and combine logical thinking with emotional intelligence for effective decision making.
4. Communication - Express yourself effectively and actively listen. This creates an effective way to receive feedback, measure progress, and listen to yourself and others.
5. Resilience - Overcome setbacks with resilience, maintaining your focus and drive amidst challenges.
6. Self-awareness - Recognize your strengths and weaknesses, be aware of your impact on others, and continuously pursue personal development. You can't lead or grow without being aware.
