The 212 is headed to Titletown!! Excited and humbled to be the Defensive Coordinator at Valdosta State University! It’s an honor to coach at a school with so much tradition. Can’t wait to build on that with our brand of defense.

Huge thank you to Colorado Mesa University! To the players, thank you and I love you! You are what make the program go. Special thanks to the 212. Y’all were special and a joy to coach! I will cherish those relationships forever.

Proud of our players! It took a lot of guys to get this win, and man was it fun to get to coach football again! Also HUGE shoutout to
@coachjack212
on his first head coaching win! Certainly won’t be his last.

Wife bought me a display case for the conference/national championship rings I’m fortunate enough to own. One of the best gifts I’ve ever gotten. But there are 5 slots and I’ve only got 4 rings. We’ve got to fix that problem!

Anybody wonder why defensive coaches have a problem with the targeting rule? This is ridiculous. If you want players protected then this can’t be legal
Pt 1. There’s no need to try to perfectly word things. I’ll make this simple. To my black players (past and present), coaches (past and present), friends, etc. I HEAR YOU AND STAND WITH YOU! To everybody else, we have to LISTEN!
Is what it is. Only way to guarantee your way into D2 playoffs is to go undefeated with the way it’s set up. Disappointed but still proud of what we accomplished!
When you think of Maverick Football, 212 Defense always comes to mind‼️
Once again, our defense is amongst the best in the country ♠️🔥🤘🏽

Picked a bad time to play the way we did, but I’m beyond proud of this team! Seniors, your impact was incredible in turning things around. I love you all, and look forward to the future with the group coming back!

I truly hope all the young players I’ve been able to coach tune into The Last Dance. Far too many arguments that I’ve had about MJ vs Lebron or Kobe. None of these players ever witnessed MJ so hopefully this brings an appreciation to the true G.O.A.T.
Excited that our work will be rewarded! Still so much preparation needed in order for our product to look how we want it to look but this is exciting!

This hurts as a USF alum. Coach touched many lives around the program. Though he never coached me, his influence was always felt. He was a winner, but ALWAYS did things the right way. He was a great example for those of us in the coaching profession. RIP Coach.

Legendary USF football coach Bob Young has died. He was 83. Young guided the Cougars to their first national championship and is the namesake of their home stadium. An icon in South Dakota sports and small college football.
Coach C was a legend. He kept our freshmen classes together. He was always a guy to talk to if you just needed somebody to listen. I’ll miss the random phone calls every couple of months. Coach impacted many of us! He will be dearly missed. Prayers to Tep and his family
Extremely proud of our unit! The 212 Defense finished 10th in the country in Total Defense and
#3
in yards per play! Also finished
#16
in scoring defense. So proud of my players and coaches!

Got a chance to travel, relax, and hang out with the family. Really enjoyed it but can’t wait to get back with my guys! It makes work much more enjoyable when you have a bunch of hungry players who LOVE FOOTBALL!!

So proud of our guys! The amount of adversity this group has overcome is incredible yet we keep finding a way! To say that I'm proud is an understatement.

MJ when asked if he cared about being perceived as a nice guy says “Winning has a price, and leadership has a price.” So much wisdom in that quote.

Something I’ve never felt before. I’ve heard this same thing from several others over the last few months about having to have these conversations with parents and sons/daughters. I can’t relate but I can listen. I’d recommend more of that for our country.

We have had some staff changes this offseason!
Please Welcome Coach DG to Titletown!! Coach DG will take over as the Defensive Backs Coach for the Blazer
#WaterTheSeed
The CFB coaching ranks should diversify in the coming years, especially if young head coaches such as
#NotreDame
's Marcus Freeman have success. I've put together a list of 45 minority coaches under 45 who could rise to lead FBS programs.

The Coaching world and VSU Football lost a legend today. Coach Leach's influence is all over the game of football on all levels. However, who he was as a person is what will truly be missed. Prayers to his family and the Mississippi State community. Rest In Peace Coach Leach.
2021 Senior Highlights. Came a long way for this opportunity. Not done yet still have another great opportunity in front of me I’m chasing🖤 vid creds
@BichoMartnez1
and I do not own the rights to this song. 73 total tackles, 5 TFLs, 5 PBUs, 1 INT..
The team with 3 black coordinators is about to win the super bowl. Also, nobody from this staff got a head coaching interview as far as I’ve seen (could be wrong). After watching this performance in every phase, I can’t for the life of me make sense of that!
Beyond Proud of the work our Football Players have done in the Community this Semester. Over 1100 hours of Community Service done by the Blazers ❗️
And still more to come...

Had fun with the guys tonight! Excited to watch the players play but also excited to see other guys get the well deserved opportunity to call plays. It’s gonna be a blast!

Replace the baseball analogies with football ones and it still holds true. In my experience, the closer you are, the more you win. It’s really that simple!
