PROUDEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE❗️
As a coach, I have seen 500+ pound squats, 400+ bench presses, 385 cleans…
But 31 hours after brain surgery, this little guy walked 10 steps on his own 😤😤😤
Never wanted to yell out with pride/joy in my life so much 🥳
#MyHero
⚠️ PSA⚠️
You reeeeeaaaallly think that everyone who owns #AMC woke up at 4 AM and decided to sell off all of their shares after holding for 6 months???
I got a bridge for sale if you believe that… $AMC#apestogetherstrong
NEWS FLASH: WE. AREN’T. LEAVING.
Best day of quarantine so far... @_TJWatt and @DerekWatt34 made the day of 2 of my students, who are HUGE @steelers fans!! The Watt family never ceases to amaze this old football coach...

A message to recruits:
IF YOU ARE BEING RECRUITED BY @IlliniFootball, TAKE THE TRIP TO CAMPUS. WHEN THEIR COACHING STAFF PREACHES #famILLy, THEY MEAN IT!
Thank you Bart for thinking of my son and I say the following as a life-long Badger Football Fan…
I-L-L 🔶🔷🔶🔷🔶🔷🔶🔷
Out of surgery and did great!
Doc said his cerebellum extended down past C2 but they were able to get everything in place. Said the cerebellum was whitish because it was getting cut off from some blood flow; it doesn’t really serve a purpose so we are in a much better place!
FANS:
Just remember this is the WORST time of year for many coaches. The carousel of coaching is gonna be in high gear soon. We aren’t talking about jobs. We are talking about families moving, new schools, friends, etc. Remeber that next time you call for someone to get fired.
GRATITUDE 🧵
When I posted 6 weeks ago about Mac’s Chiari 1 surgery, I immediately got a phone call from @Coach_BMiller
For the first time in a long time, we didn’t discuss football, our President’s Day graphics, or recruiting. We discussed LIFE…
1/
We get to go home, dad!
No seizure activity detected 😁
Next MRI is scheduled for 3/17 to determine spinal fluid build up.
Words will never be able to express how much the calls/texts/emails/prayers have meant to me and my family.
Not out of the woods, but a big piece solved
🚨🚨NEWS FLASH!🚨🚨
If these 🤠 boots are in your school , it means @Coach_BMiller and @IlliniFootball are in your school to discuss some future Illini.
First question from Coach Miller, “How is Mac??”
That’s all any recruit needs to know how you will be coached at Illinois!
When you are having a rough morning, and your son can sense that…
Mac grabs my hand and smiles before they wheeled him back for surgery…
He is stronger than his old man, that’s for sure!
