At SMU, we are working hard to create one of the best cultures in college football. One of the ways we accomplish this is by attacking our objectives, not our players. #PonyUpDallas.#TripleD21

Today, most Americans will choose to honor the life and legacy of Dr. King. It’s easy to post, tweet and IG our respects, including myself. The real challenge exists in living out his dream in our daily encounters with others, the other 364 days of the year. 🔵🔴 #PonyUpDallas

I am thankful to God for this woman, this gift He has given me. Today we celebrate 18 years of marriage. Guys, if you’re considering marriage, make sure she loves God more than she loves you. You have to know Him to appreciate that one. # Itsyouranniversary

One of the greatest rewards of coaching is to see young people grow and move towards their passions in life. These 3 senior RBs (Merek, X and Free) are talented, hard working young men. I can’t wait to see the next chapters of their lives unfold. #Jeremiah 29:11.#PonyUpDallas

High school coaches across Texas do a great job of promoting their student-athletes. My experience in Houston has been no different. I hope these young men realize how fortunate they are to play for coaches who really care about their future.

When you have football players, who are seniors, all starters and without hesitation step in to participate on scout teams that prepare us for our opponents, it’s evident that a healthy culture is being established within our program. #BuiltDifferent.#PonyUpDallas.#PonyExpress

The older you get, you realize who your true friends really are. not associates, not acquaintances, but true friends. I am forever blessed knowing Jamal Powell was my friend. And he had an undeniable gift to make everyone feel the same way. #PonyUpDallas.
We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Jamal Powell. Our hearts and prayers are with his family and friends during this difficult time. #PonyExpress #PonyUpDallas

Systemic issues that have evolved from slavery are like weeds that grow in your yard. Your lawn will never look its best or be totally healthy, until the root of every single weed is pulled up. The roots of hate & racism run deep. Today is a great day for some yard work!
