I wonder how, as coaches, we can say “family first” and then trash a 14 year old for going on vacation with their parents on the only days their folks could manage to get off work and it happened to conflict with football.

PJ Fleck will probably always be a guy whose teams I root for, and it really hits home now. For those who don’t know, 6 years ago my wife and I experienced a devastating pregnancy loss. Fleck was at Western Michigan at the time. My wife is an alum and I was coaching in the area..

So, six years later, here I am watching PJ Fleck row the boat with his team while my 2.5 week old daughter sleeps on my chest. We never stopped rowing.

Man, football coach twitter can be a pretty uplifting deal. I mentioned I'd be calling out some coverages for 7 on 7 for the first time tonight and got tons of encouragement from a bunch of dudes I've never even met. Our game isn't perfect, but it is a community I love.

Through the coaching grapevine Coach Fleck caught wind of our loss and tracked down our address. He shipped us full size WMU oar that he signed, and it included a note to our family to “keep rowing.”

I LOVE college football and I LOVE the NFL, I love all football, BUT, getting ready to coach in a local, small town rivalry game that has been played every year since 1909 has me thinking that it doesn’t get any better or more pure than high school football. Love Friday night!

Coaching high school football isn't nearly as difficult as some guys make it out to be, it's just that a lot of people in the profession have horrible priorities and a total lack of balance in their lives.
What opinion of yours in sports coaching will have you like this?

Every offensive and defensive scheme ever created has merit and can be successful if you’re a good teach. By contrast every scheme can suck if you’re a bad teacher.
What's your take about football that will get you in this position?

This may sound basic, but as a rookie defensive coordinator I kind of want to spend some time with veteran DCs and ask really seemingly obviously questions like "Why is that called that?" when it comes to coverages and blitzes. Or "why would I call that then?" So much to learn.

Some of us as coaches need to accept that football isn’t worth sacrificing family time the way it is to so many in our field. It isn’t an obsession to every 14 year old boy the way it is to 35 year old men. Their kids. Football is fun, but it isn’t their job

My dad has had the same job for 35 years and has had his head kicked in for most of them. Over the holidays he bet on himself with a rival company across town and they were so impressed they created a new position to hire him, so this week he told the old job to kick rocks. Proud

Okay…I have to get it off my chest…if you fall down 7 times you only have to get up 7 times. Where did the 8th get up come from? If you’re getting up 8 times you fell 8 times. Okay, I’m done. Sorry. That little inspirational quote drives me a little nuts. Have a good day.

When you live with depression and you find out you’re going to be a dad, you pray and you hope that you’ll be able to stay out of the dark places. Turns out it can be worse, because now you’re also terrified that you’re failing your family. I need some good vibes, man.

When I take high school prospects to a college camp, I watch the body language and appearance of the college coaches. If they have bad posture or their shirt is untucked, I tell my guys “that’s a loser, you can always tell by looking.” See how dumb it sounds when we flip it?

Many of my kids live in poverty, in a rural area where the closest grocery store is about 30 mins away. Their 2 meals a day are whatever processed stuff ends up on their tray at breakfast and lunch, or what we manage to feed them as coaches. It's tough for some kids.

Deep down, Lincoln Riley ain't mad about that FG. He's mad about losing, and the FG irritated him because everything is more irritating when you lose. Any coach who is being honest knows they've been there. Losing sucks.

We have athletes who will miss workouts here and there because they work, and they are the primary bread winners for their families. In my mind, they have their priorities straight, and they're good players. I'll go to bat for them any day.
