After spending over 20 years as a D1 coach on signing day, one thing I know for certain is there will be a lot of unsigned talent at the JUCO level that can win championships for you. Don’t stop working, keep looking for those hidden gems, I promise you they are out there!

40yrs ago I was playing JUCO Ball and couldn’t wait to go to practice with my team mates who today are still my good friends, never underestimate the power of the game, I’m gonna say it again those were the best years of my life!
I don’t care who you play for Just #EnjoytheRide

Every year at this time, I hear guys talking about all the things they want to do this season. But then they are missing class or not showing up to workouts! Makes no sense, Don’t be that guy!

38 years later there is one thing I know for sure, there are still plenty of really good 🏈 players unsigned after today, the Real Recruiters will find those hidden gems! They May have to go the JUCO route but that doesn’t mean they are any less talented then the signees!

As a coach all you can ever ask is for your team to give you their best effort for 4 quarters, we got that today as we did all season! It hurts, it’s emotional but I am so proud of our team @VCPirateFB that I can’t even put it in words but they will understand!#WePlayedForMore

College 🏈 is on a Whole New Level! I spent 20+ years at D1 and never seen it like this from Coaching changes to the transfer portal, the one thing that’s still consistent is there are still great players to be found at the JUCO Level! #BeDifferent

My Dad was a helluva HS Coach, I started out that way then went to D1, then to NFL then Back to FCS then to JC and all I can say from being at every level, it’s all relative, you just better love Coaching Ball! It’s year 38 for me and I have been blessed to do something I love!

I tell my wife all the time Coaching 🏈is tough, lots of emotions good and bad, one tough game can make your season look bad but in the end it’s still all about relationships the ones that don’t show up in your W-L Record! It’s what makes Coaching special ❤️

As tough as last nights loss was on so many levels, the Sun came up today, made me realize how blessed I was to have had a team like we did, it’s never just about the wins and losses, but about the lifelong relationships that are made! Love you guys #VCFF#2017Champions

Food for thought: There are 2k kids in the NCAA transfer portal, and maybe 200 spots available at FBS/FCS? Where do the other 1800 go? I can take a few but what have we created? Is this what I thought was my dream to be an D1 coach? I did it for 25 years? What are we doing?

Going into Year #50 as a player and then as a Coach: I was asked what would I say to a young athlete today? It would be to play in the moment, go into every season as if it was your last, don’t focus so much on the future but to enjoy the now! #LoveOfTheGame

Did you go to a community college? Quote tweet this and say which community college you attended and what you're doing today. I'll retweet as many as I can. People who attend community colleges deserve to be as proud as people who attend Harvard.
