I remember the first time I cut the game/practice field. I rode around on the mower and never engaged the PTO for about an hour. The head coach just watched me the whole time and was laughing. I though something was wrong with the mower. #Rookie

I was vested in retirement before I owned my first cell phone. Thank the Lord they weren't around. #GoodOldDays

Play teaching > Play calling.

I learned very early on in my career that my most important allies had to be the clerical staff, lunchroom ladies,and all M & O personnel. You WILL NOT survive if these people don't like you. Take very good care of them.

Want to make this fun and engaging and hope to expand the following, so we will play an ongoing game (punt or go for it). So get ready! Should be interesting.

Punt or Go for it.(easy sample)Size 42 waist skinny jeans. PUNT!

A perk of my first job was for working so hard my HC would pick me up after dinner some evenings and take me to see a massage therapist. As a naive young coach I thought all massage therapists were Asians and wore nighties. Little did I know. #shelteredkid

My first ever play call was at the middle school level. Too many today wanna go straight to calling Varsity.

A wise coach once told me, "One of the most valuable skills in this business is the ability to agree to disagree ". Some of you might disagree, LOL. But that's ok.

Do y'all remember the stuff we used to complain about as coaches in the 90s? Lol. 2022 is like "Hold my Beer"!! I'm glad I'm a fan now!!

Playoff time. Where should I go to watch a game tonight. 2 requirements. Good game and just as important, somewhere good to eat. #GHSA playoffs

Cyber Monday is usually not a good day to shop for a football job. #CyberMonday

I can tell you one thing that makes it hard to coach kids today. They are all deaf. They all have these white hearing aids in their ears. They must not charge the batteries because none of them pay attention to anything.

Nothing like walking through the halls of a high school and seeing overweight kids wearing skinny jeans with 3 pair of gym shorts packed in them. #todaysfashion

Today's school leadership is kinda like the candidates we are getting for political office. Nobody any good wants to do it so we are stuck with whatever comes down the pipe.

Why is it the more interesting we try to make school for kids, the more disinterested in school they are? #JustSaying

Am I just too old, or are there more and more arrogant pricks in our profession that are just down right disrespectful? Some of these HS coaches I run across are something else

Young Coaches. You can't wait until you get a title to decide to put the time in. You have to put in the time of a coordinator before becoming one.

Young Coaches. You are not the one who's going to lead your program to where you want it. It will be your higher ups(super/principal) If they are not leading/supporting your vision, you are doomed.
