9 hours of getting better for the JVille Titans today at @OuachitaFB. 2 hours of team camp and then 8 games of 7on7, finishing runner ups to @PABruinFootball. Very proud of our kids fighting through fatigue and competing! TitanUp!
Let’s make June “dead month” for football and all sports… except for the 1,000 college camps every week.
All we are allowed to do in June is lift.
Coaches, who’s with me?
Congratulations to Mason Ball @MasonAball on his commitment to @UKFootball ! BBN you’re getting a great one!
A lot of hs coaches never get to coach a P4 athlete. Mason will be my 4th. Safe to say I’M BLESSED!
I will die on this hill. I will argue till I’m blue in the face. I will produce the data.
Participation in youth sports/activities is as important as many of the classes my kids take at school. Maybe more important.
Luke Falk shared a Mike Leach story that stopped me cold:
Two kids. One rich. One poor.
Every training camp, Coach Leach told his team about these 2 kids.
The rich kid has two choices.
Get soft. Get entitled. Expect everything handed to him because he was handed more.
Or take the resources, the coaching, the opportunities, and compound them into something greater.
The poor kid has two choices too.
Say nobody gave him anything. Blame the world. Make his circumstances the reason he never became what he could have been.
Or outwork everyone in the room.
Luke said the locker room had both. Kids from wealth. Kids from nothing. Kids with every advantage. Kids who scraped for every inch.
Same choice for all of them.
Ownership or victimhood.
Fuel or excuse.
The rich kid can waste the head start or build on it.
The poor kid can drown in the deficit or weaponize it.
Greatness doesn't come from where you start.
It comes from which kid you choose to feed.

A look at the teamwork the head coach and I have in the off-season (student vs faculty game) before we go at it for 10 practices in Spring Ball. Nice dish @CRSportsLive
Most football staffs don’t fail because of talent.
They fail because:
• No clear structure
• No defined roles
• No consistent communication
So I built a Coaching Staff Manual and I’m giving it to every coach 👇

I’ll send you the copyable version.
Appreciate the hospitality from @ArkRazorbacks and @RSilverfield allowing the titans coaching staff to shadow them today! @CoachBreyCook is an excellent host! Learning from the great @CoachRonRoberts gave us some superb knowledge to take back to Jacksonville!
SMU Head Coach Rhett Lashlee requires every coach to have a photo of their family outside their office.
A simple reminder of what matters most.
S/o Alexander Kilgore for showing me around!
NEW: Football recruits are figuring out how to use AI to fabricate FAKE highlight plays.
All these plays were generated by artificial intelligence.
This will completely SHAKE up the football world 🤯
