Discipline is mastery, not misery.

Whatever your best is, that’s all you need to give. We’ll teach you, prepare you, work on your skills, and put you in good positions. I will give my best to you and for you. Make sure you give your best for you, too.

You can tell whether someone is disciplined or undisciplined by how they respond to inconvenient truths. Disciplined people set aside their preferences to serve the truth. Undisciplined people set aside the truth to serve their preferences. Discipline serves reality first.

If I wanted a slow donkey, I’d give the task to a committee and ask for a fast racehorse.

The real price of excellence is not time or effort, though those are obviously required. The real price is social discomfort, isolation, and criticism. People who chase excellence get criticized than those who chase approval. People who demand excellence experience more conflict

Excited to see @brianhartline and @CoachWillStein get their chance to lead programs as HCs. Impressive men. Intense competitors. Great coaches. New challenges. But first, can’t wait to see them go to work in these playoffs.

What price do you make people pay for telling you the truth?

I tell players I coach the same thing I tell my kids: “I want the best for you and I expect the best from you.”

Principle is well-intended @colecubelic but what you suggest creates an impossible trap for HC’s with the CFB calendar. The obvious dilemma: 1. If a coach is an attractive candidate because he wins a lot, by your rule he could never leave because he has to finish. 2. Or he has

Learning E+R=O (Event + Response = Outcome) brings you one step closer to accepting this immutable truth: Even when you are in total control of yourself, you are not in total control of the outcome or other people’s opinions. Your control is limited to you and you alone.

Every path you can choose has two things: promise and pain. You choose one path over another because of its promise, but you must also accept its pains. The promise and the pains can’t be separated. When you choose a course of action—to go this way instead of that way—you are

As you will see in the replies, people missed the point. And they’re being mean to me 😂 I’ll take responsibility for my lack of clarity. 1. All the playoff-hunt coaches taking new jobs want to finish with their teams, which is expected and natural. 2. All the coaches made the

I don’t think anyone should be outraged at any of these coaches. There is no obviously “right” decision. Every possible path comes with very real, very heavy cost.

When it comes to opinions, the higher the emotion, the lower the clarity.

Kiffin, Sumrall, and Eric Morris are each taking jobs at new programs. All three are coaching playoff contenders. All three asked to continue coaching their current team. Tulane and UNT said yes. Ole Miss said no. If you’re outraged at only one coach, you’ve been manipulated.

What jobs? And who? That’s the problem. It’s a black hole of responsibility.

What is keeping every football coach in America awake tonight? Just one thing: “How do I get our players to execute our plan and play with highest level of confidence?” They may tweak the gameplan between now and gameday, but their #1 unknown is HOW their team will show up.

Updated my handle —> @BrianKight “Drop the ‘T’. Just Brian Kight. It’s cleaner.”

The two biggest leadership priorities for head coaches this off-season: 1. STAFF CULTURE: raising and clarifying standards for coaches. 2. STAFF LEADERSHIP: training every member of the staff how to lead in alignment with the HC, the culture of the program, and team needs.

@coach_harvey18 It’s so broken there’s no way to fix it without starting over from scratch. Every intervention—no matter how well intended or what it attempts to fix—will make it even worse. Coaches don’t want this system. They are put into these situations by forces outside their control.
