Attention HS RB’, QB’s and WR’s....if I offer you a scholarship to play LB don’t discount it cause you want the ball in your hands! This guy was a HS RB, college DE and just signed for 2 more years as an NFL OLB. Maybe I see something in you that you don’t yet see in yourself!

The Covid Era has forced a next man up mindset. This old JV option QB had to dust off the cannon earlier this week. Good thing for @Cameron7Ward I don’t have any eligibility left!

Great Linebackers come in all shapes in sizes....but only 1 mindset, only one look in their eyes when the ball turns over

Got a bunch of returners on defense doing the little things right in meetings and on the field. The little things don’t always get recognized, but they do always get noticed. And they always show up on Saturday

One of the best feelings in coaching is watching your players stay on the field and work by themselves after practice....you can’t teach someone how to love football!

Most special teams penalties are 15 yards OR even worse...Spot fouls that cost valuable field position! Great special teams units have DISCIPLINED players! #SmartHardTough

Watching Texas high school football on the bye week has me thinking of the 13 true freshman (2 walk-on’s) that played in @UIWFootball footballs first conference win last week. Guess the future is now! #Stealthmode

The @UIWFootball Defense forced 17 int’s in 2019 finishing 1st in the Southland and 7th Nationally. UIW LB’s took over half those picks with 9 as a position group! Big shout out to our Star Coach @Coach_GSanders for his role! #FindYoungTalent #FlightCrew

Listening to @CoachVass podcast with Wade Phillips, it was worth throwing an extra log on the fire! I started listening two years ago to support a good friend. After these last couple interviews I am listening as a fan! #MakeDefenseGreatAgain

Low key…my favorite part of recruiting is talking ball with HS coaches. Bringing some great nuggets on scheme, technique, culture and teaching back to @UCOFootball
Oklahoma HS coaches are top notch!

Growth can be measured a lot of ways:
1-10 to Conf Champs= Growth
4 All-Conf LB’s in 2 yrs =Growth
The ring is nice, but my proudest moment came today when the best collection of semester grades in 3 years came back! Linebackers are TOUGH and SMART! My guys proved that!

The best part about a morning at home is pancake breakfast with the girls! The hardest part is when they try to stop me from going to work!

The best part of virtual recruiting is how much ground I can cover! Already been to West Texas, Dallas and Houston! About to be back home @SETCA_Coaches for the rest of the day!

You might be a Special Teams Coordinator if:
You are evaluating a Linebacker and you get excited when he shows KOR film of him setting a double team!

A good long snapper is the most under appreciated position in football. The mental and physical preparation put in by @JoshuaWells99 over the last two years has been critical to our success!

After an afternoon talking ball with local HS coach @mattarrufat I figured I would keep this weeks showcase on the #210! @TeamIP21 led the @UIWFootball LB’s in explosive plays in 2019 with 7 TFL’s, 2 forced fumbles, 1.5 sacks and 1 pick 6!
