Hoping the power of social media can help out. I am no longer at Stony Brook & am looking for a coaching opportunityโฆ
Iโve coached DBs 8yrs, DC for 3, Co-STC for 3, FCS, D2 & D3 levels, been a GA & QC at 2 diff. places.
Open to anything from FBS analyst to D3 position coach.
The last 48 hours have been ones of reflection. Through all the time to think, I keep coming back to a few words: proud, special, selfless, & fun.
Undefeated Reg. Szn, LL ๐, Cortaca Jugs W @ Yankee ๐๏ธ, Elite 8 appearance.
Winning is hard. Thatโs why itโs so fun.

I just received an email from a 6th grader wanting to introduce himself and get put on our radar for future recruitment.
SIXTH GRADE. Go be a kid.
Parents, please stop this nonsense. Let your kids be kids.
My favorite story of John was when John took a dime out of his pocket and put it up to the sun at practice, and said, you see that dime? Thatโs football... the sun is your life... donโt ever mix them up.
This team is special. Just something about them is special. Theyโve been tested time & time again this fall & havenโt quivered once โ hasnโt been perfect but my goodness are they tough.
Love these guys immensely.
2023 was an amazing year of growth & learning opportunities. I stepped out of my comfort zone & took chances that created uncomfortability & adversity.
Thank you Stony Brook โ I am excited to see what & where 2024 will bring me. โ๐ผ
Got assigned the last row, middle seat on a flight today. A mother wanting to switch with me to fly with her two children told me her seat was 4D. I walk back to the front to find a first class seat with my name on it. Wow what a spin of events ๐
Although photos donโt do the beauty of this place justice, Iโm going to start a thread & post photos periodically for the rest of summer to try to highlight how amazing Ithaca is.

Each job/promotion Iโve gotten is largely due to ppl advocating for me. My 1st coaching job was b/c my college playing career & coaches advocating for me as a leader. I got to college b/c my HS coaches advocated for me.
I ONLY started my Sr. year in HS.
I feel for the seniors...
A year after passing, you continue to inspire me & so many others to be a great man, a simplistic coach & teacher, and to โjust do itโ. You are missed by so many. Thank you, John.
Before your season starts, look at your game schedule. Look at the schoolsโ schedules youโre interested in & that are recruiting you. Put a plan together to get to a home game experience.
PS: Fall time in Ithaca is undefeated ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐
If football is canceled for HS teams across America, coaches NEED to find a way to continue to mentor those SAs in a virtual or social distanced way. We cannot allow this pandemic to force us from mentoring young men who need coaches most. Be

Football prepares young people for many of the trials they will experience in adulthood by providing social lessons that cannot be replicated in the same way off the field.

The NACC, UMAC, MASCAC, NEWMAC, ECFC, MIAA, SCIAC all get automatic bids to D3 playoffs.
Their combined record in the last 20 years is 7-80 w/ 4/7 conferences mentioned never winning a game.
Yesterdayโs record for these conferences: 0-7 w/ avg margin of defeat of 37.8.

Thereโs a story of John Gagliardi putting a dime up to the sun & telling freshman in camp, โThe dime is football. The sun is your life. Donโt ever get them mixed up.โ
The dime is football. The sun is the wives & children of coaches.
Johnโs leadership lessons are important/proven

favorite social environment & competitive opportunities that they love, that theyโd experience depression & anxiety about future college opportunities...
Ridiculous. If you canโt compete, kick them out.
@MIACathletics
you got this so wrong. A founding member, 118 years of rivalry, sad to see. My dislike for UST today is a little more empathetic.
@UST_Football
feel free to score 98 when other teams allow it. Weโd enjoy seeing it.
My father always told me his father always told him, โNever judge a man until you walk a mile in his moccasins.โ I was taught early on through my parents & the Catholic Church to respect & love others for who they are. This led to meeting my best friend, Donovan, who tragically

You want special? This is something indescribably special. This is what it sounds like to make plays in front of (45,161) Ithaca fans. This is Ithaca.

I wake up every day motivated to do my best. But Iโd be lying if I said Iโm not influenced & motivated even more seeing our other Bomber teams achieve excellence day in and day out.
Ithaca is special because excellence is the standard & consistently met by our teams.

Delta CEO asks CDC to shorten the recommended COVID quarantine: "the 10-day isolation for those who are fully vaccinated may significantly impact our workforce and operations"
the next week, CDC shortened guidance to 5 days.
10 days is still the guidance in Canada, Europe + UK

Last active COVID19 case in which hospitalization occurred in Tompkins County: May 29, 46 straight days w/o hospitalization.
Since then, testing numbers have doubled from 9,288 to 18,640, while positive tests have only increased 20, an equivalent of .0021% positive test rate.

My heart hurts. In such a short time, Coach Collins impacted me in an extraordinary way. I know that if we had more time, we would be a mentor for me for my career. He was such a good person and all that came in contact with him will miss him dearly. RIP Coach ๐
people & culture in it. I canโt imagine my life without the black community.
And that is exactly why I canโt comprehend how people hate other people for the color of their skin. I never will. But I will speak up for them when needed most.
