It’s hard to put into words what SXU has meant to me the last 9 years. I played alongside great guys, then had the opportunity to coach alongside the men I looked up to as a player. Saint Xavier is a special place. It’s been an honor to coach the cougs. Thank you SXU

10 years ago today!?! I’m getting old! Every year there are only 5 teams in all of college football that get to call themselves National Champions. This was no doubt one of the best experiences I’ve ever been a part of

With all of the frigid weather throughout the country, I’m just here to drop in and say that today’s forecast in Ave Maria, FL is sunny high of 87 and a low of 71. Possible cloud coverage this afternoon. Why not go to college where people vacation?

Watching 2021's on tape and talking on twitter has me thinking two things: 1. I cant wait for football to be back. and 2. Man, I really fell off twitter. I haven't put a tweet out in months. I'm back though time to be more active on here
Big day for SXU Athletics and the university as a whole! A much needed renovation happening right now. Can’t wait to see the finished product. Big things to come for the Cougs 🐾

You don’t have to go division one for exposure! Go where you’re wanted, you can be developed and will have an opportunity to shine!! Take care of business and you will be seen!
You can be a nice person and an offensive lineman. You should be a nice person and an OLineman. However, you cannot be a nice person while being an offensive lineman. The nature of our position is nasty
That’s my hot take for the day
3 home games. A very good FCS opponent. Nonconference games against 2 of the best teams in the NAIA. Win 6 straight to win the conference and clinch a playoff berth. Rd1 “upset”

Proud of the dogs up front! We’ve battled through injuries young guys had to step up and we still managed to win 6 straight! 8-3 (5-0) Back to Back Conference Champs clinched a playoff spot... now it’s time to heal up and get ready to keep this train rollin

We’re young up front and still learning. An issue we’ve been havin this spring is gettin out of our stance in pass protection so I was trying to think of drills to work on our explosion out of the stance. I swear you come up with some crazy ideas right before bed

Couldn’t have asked for a better group of guys to go to war with. Thank you to the three seniors in this group. Can’t wait to see these guys become successful men outside of football. For the rest of us time to start preparing for the 2022 season
