After 29 years of coaching, I can tell u that hugging your son after his last HS football game is one of the toughest things I ever had to do. For all u young coaches with young boys, it doesn't get any better than coaching your own son.

- Most football coaches are exceptional men who spend their days investing in someone else's son. They are exceptional role models for America's young people as husbands, fathers and men of character. The best men I know wear a whistle!
- Here's a HC secret . . . soak your whites overnight in hot water and Oxi Clean. Agitate them with a something to make sure everything is coated. The water should be slimy from the soap. Wash the next day. You'll be surprised how much cleaner they are. #HCtips
- I was in a room with 300 football coaches last night. 2 categories of coaches: #1: skinny pants, thermal vest over a long sleeve, textured t‐shirt, immaculate color coordinated Jordans. #2: stained 2017 "Iron Works" team t-shirt, sweat/athletic pants, staff issued game day shoes
- I got 36 JV kids that do this when the temperature drops below 68°.That one mf that just bought a Canada Goose jacket and wants everyone to see it
- When a parent complains to me about my coaching, I remind them that I spend a player's 9th & 10th grade years trying to get him to pick up his trash and flush the toilet. If they had done a better job teaching basic life skills, then he would known how to defeat a double team.
- Here's how u fix America's teacher problem: 1) Expel students who repeatedly disrupt the teaching environment. 2) Put the responsibility back on the shoulders of the parents. More often than not, schools don't fail students, parents fail their kids.Hundreds of school districts are currently dealing with ‘The Great Teacher Resignation’. And now they have a new problem…‘The Never Applying in the First Place’. @garyvee #EdChat #TheGreatResignation
- 14 year old me after seeing Top Gun: Dad, I want to be a naval aviator. My dad: They don't let offensive lineman fly fighter jets. He bought me a honey bun and a Coke to make me feel better after shattering my dreams.
- I had 4 college coaches come by today. Didn't post any photos on Twitter with any of 'em. Not sure I'll be able to sleep tonight because of it.
- I don't believe in a bunch of bullshit when it comes to winning. A bunch of hard nosed, disciplined kids who play with passion and for each other coached by a staff of good men who genuinely care for their players. Give me that, and I'll show u a winning football program.
- As a coach, sometimes you have to cut out the cancer so that the team will thrive. It sucks. We hate it, but sometimes, it's necessary.
- The greatest boost in confidence a high school kid can get occurs on the day that he first hits 225 on a one rep bench max. If u know, u know!
