I have been let go as Head Coach of Sussex County Community College Football. Coaching this team has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. To my players and coaches: I love and care about you deeply. I’d give just about anything to coach you all again. I believe in your ability to succeed, both on and off the field. If there’s ever anything I can do to support you, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We are family, and I meant that wholeheartedly. Stay focused and keep striving for greatness. I’ll always be in your corner. With love and respect, Coach

After a lot of thought, I’ve made the tough decision to step away from William Paterson and join the staff at DePaul Catholic. I’m incredibly thankful to Coach Williams and Coach Capriola for believing in me and giving me the chance to be part of something special at WPU. That program is on the rise—the NJAC better be ready. I’m truly excited for this next chapter at DePaul and can’t wait to get to work with a top-tier program and a great group of student-athletes. Let’s get to it! To any recruits looking to get in touch with WPU, feel free to DM me—I’ll make sure your info gets to the right people.

Everyone talks about how important DISCIPLINE is, but rarely do they explain why. Here's why: DISCIPLINE is the strongest form of self-love. It's ignoring something you want right now for something better later on. DISCIPLINE reveals the commitment to your dreams-especially on the days you don't feel like it. The future version of you is counting on the present you to keep the promises you made to yourself yesterday. Stay disciplined, Stay committed. #Dawg @Sussexfootball5

"In tough times, help me not ask for you to lighten my load, but strengthen my back." Three years ago today, I said goodbye to my best friend. Not a day goes by that I don’t talk to you or wish you a good morning, just like we did for 36 years. Even now, it feels like whenever I need guidance, you’re still there, gently pushing me in the right direction. Love you, Dad.

As a player, it’s crucial to understand what the coaches recruiting you truly represent. My football coaching philosophy is built on the principles of DAWG: Discipline, Attitude, Work Ethic, and Grit. These core values guide everything I do, both on and off the field. I emphasize discipline in how we prepare, attitude in how we face challenges, work ethic in our relentless pursuit of growth, and grit in overcoming obstacles. My goal is to shape athletes into not only better players but also better people by instilling these values in every aspect of the game. I set high standards, hold players accountable, and foster a culture where effort, heart, and improvement are celebrated. Mentorship is central to my approach, and I’m passionate about helping players succeed beyond football while building a team environment that thrives on challenges and camaraderie. No matter the obstacles, I remain true to my vision, constantly adapting to ensure my players embrace the DAWG mentality as they grow as individuals and strive for excellence as a team. @WPUFootball @WPUPioneers @wpunj_edu

As a college coach, the stretch from the end of the season through winter break is all about relationships. It’s a time to reconnect—having the conversations and meetings that can be overlooked during the grind of the season. It’s also an opportunity to push hard in the weight room, setting the foundation for big gains in the spring, while focusing on something deeper: truly listening and understanding each individual beyond the surface. Each week provides valuable opportunities to build trust, with every moment holding equal importance. My focus, during this time, has always been clear: listen more, talk less, and strengthen the bonds that fuel our success. #DAWG

Culture is not a coach constantly screaming, disciplining, correcting or pushing... Culture is when one player grabs another player to say “That’s not the way we do things here” when they notice them not following instructions or acting the wrong way... it’s player driven

I always joke we have no kids, but I’ve got 100+ players I try to be there for every day. Grateful for the coaches I worked with at Sussex and the players I got to watch grow. While I’m unhappy with how it ended, I’m excited for the next chapter at William Paterson! Here’s to growth, gratitude, and the grind. Let’s get to work!

Too often, people overlook Division III football. They assume it’s not competitive, that it’s just a step above high school, or that it lacks serious talent. But anyone who has played or coached at this level knows the truth—D3 football is good football. D3 football has talent. Plenty of guys slip through the cracks of recruiting, develop late, or just need the right opportunity. Many former D3 players have gone on to the NFL, CFL, or other pro leagues. At the end of the day, football is football. The passion, the competition, the grind—it all exists at the D3 level. If you’ve ever watched a D3 game, you know it’s physical, it’s fast, and it’s real football. So don’t sleep on D3. The players don’t. @WPUFootball #LETSHUNT 🟠⚫️
With seven members of the coaching staff that are former Division III student-athletes, @Chiefs head coach Andy Reid shares how DIII prepared them for the NFL. 📹 @natejlariccia #WhyD3 | #D3fb
