My annual jelly donut. March 19th 1990, my dad’s last meal was two jelly donuts. Take a little time today to enjoy your life and the people that make it special.
Little reference for point for you. I’ve been getting asked how I’m losing weight....well ya see it started 10 years ago when I was closer to 400lbs than 300lbs.
My annual jelly donut. I hate them, I never actually finish it but I buy 2 every year on March 19th. It was my father’s last meal, 2 jellies. He is been gone 30 years today.
I think I have a new red flag for interviewing for an HC job. I always asked if the committee has anything they would like me to bring or present. When they say No, I think I may decline it on the spot. How can they get a feel for me as a coach with 8 basic questions in 30 mins.
Calling all Defensive Coaches, keep an eye out for a D Clinic hosted by the esteemed
@JerryGordonFB
this Thursday. It’s all about heavy sets!!!!! Lots 10 and 20 clinics out there, Jerry is going BIG. Like, retweet, comment this we want make sure everyone has a chance to learn.
I love the O guys on Twitter beefing about scheme. When is the last time you saw squabbling from D guys about scheme? I have coached a 3-4, 4-2, 4-3 and a 3-5. I love getting into a 5 man under front. Because ultimately all I want to do is get the ball tackled.
Under 240lbs for the first time since 1994. When I got my drivers license I weighed 212 coming off basketball season and that was my lightest since the beginning of 6th grade(1989).
We had 2 punters, left and right footed rugby punters. QB1 and QB2......it was fun. I know it screwed up a few DC's weekends, our install time was actually really short.

I see some of the coaches on here with their off season processes and it makes me question myself. Am I lazy or are their guys in love with making shit more difficult? It’s probably me…..
Yesterday I stepped down from my coaching position at Park City. It was an incredibly difficult decision. I have loved my time with the program. I am sad to leave behind great kids & coaches. Especially E, he is my favorite Miner, I am looking forward to watching him this fall.
I do not care for jelly donut but every year on the anniversary of my Dad’s death I eat one. He had 2 jellies that morning, so if you are grabbing a donut today, eat a jelly.
14 freshman come to ILBs about 5 mins into Indy, from the DBs “What’s 14 divided by 2?” “Ok, so that’s means 2 of you are what?” “7th string, now look over at OLBs. How many freshman are over there?” “Yep, zero. So the first guy over there with a pulse is, What????? The starter!”
Can we all agree that fully hand timed 40s are wildly inaccurate? Track coaches use electronic timing for practices, but you want to break out the iPhone to time a 40.
So it’s been 33 years, and it’s a very complicated day. Emotionally it’s seemingly different every year. Today I woke up angry. I use to feel like I got cheated. As I’ve gotten older, I realize Dad got cheated.
Football Twitter has some dudes you can’t tell sh*t. You’re allowed to be ignorant, you don’t know what you don’t know. But if someone takes the time to give you additional info, to help you see or understand at a deeper level. How about take a second and reflect before 2x down.
I’ve talked about getting to 191.4 for at least for 1 second. At that moment I would have lost over half my weight from my heaviest. 383. I am going for it.
Who wants to get real instruction on Linebacker and Defensive Line play this offseason? I’m looking to work with a select few that are 100% committed to improving their overall game.
You don’t want to see a practice plan, off-season program, S&C plan, coaching roles and assignments, samples of parent communication, fund raising, youth program integration and development…..Nothing? A playbook, a position group manual….Nothing?
I have a younger coach that wants to learn. O guy but wants to understand D better. We are going to Zoom tonight. 7PM MST any and all are welcome to join in.
@_CoachQFootball
also dude needs some followers. Golden rule of Football Twitter: Give a follow, get a follow. DM for code
Tomorrow I have an appointment with
@ArbiterSports
Could be something, may turn out to be nothing but I want to show them being in the Cody G business is a good thing. LIKE or RETWEET Coaches and ADs, even give their profile a look, it could actually save you some headaches.
Played 7s today. It was great, we ran our stuff from the playbook. A lot of kids got reps, made mistakes, corrected a lot. But hanging out with the kids from 9-4, baking in the sun, eating fruit snack, crushing water all day & throwing my sunscreen around to them was the best.
Well, I have had my fill of kids and families getting ripped off by private trainers. I have avoided training kids because of the potential recruiting accusations. I no longer care, I am looking to make myself available for kids that want to be better. D-Line and LBs get at me!
Clinic season. You can stay to yourself, walk in late, leave early and not take notes. Or you can arrive a few mins early, introduce yourself to the coaches around you take notes and shake the speakers hand and say thank you. You’ll get what you put into it. I’ve been both.
Customer: “Do you coach football here?”
Me:Yes.(oh boy where is this going?)
Customer: “I thought I recognized you.”
Me:Yeah?(holds breathe)
Customer: “I am coach, I recognized you from Twitter.”
Me: Awesome! (total relief)
When I was 16 I got pulled aside and lectured on the perception of "driving around with a backward hat and my music loud." 26 years later. You should have seen the looks I was getting from this couple tonight......I ain't changing, I ain't for everybody.
@fbcoachsimpson
I’m hard on players, I was extremely hard on him. It wasn’t always easy for us, but we constantly spoke about “what do you want from the game?” I didn’t need him to love the game like me or for me. I’m forever grateful for the little moments…..my favorite player ever!
Here is what I propose - Situational 7 on 7. 20 plays of O & D, 10 at a time. Each set of 10 O plays will be a scripted situation like 3rd & short or goal line redzone. No points, no BS, just working on your stuff. Rotate teams, get 2 new situations.
This isn’t a copy & paste. These are my words. I have been as low as I can imagine. I don’t know how that compares to your mental health. But I know that feeling. I have my answers, I don’t have yours but I will listen, I will try to help. I will stand in the darkness with you.
Never knew so many people tracked half squat PRs & 1 rep max. Seems an odd thing to test, Do you also count bench reps when the bar is 8” from the chest? Only have to run 3 laps for your mile time today kids, you are all going to the Olympics!
I love seeing all the Twitter love for Carson. Y’all see a kid that’s 6’2 230 runs in the 4.5s…but I cannot wait to hear people around the program talk about this dude after they are around him. His work ethic is unbelievable, I told their LB coach, good luck teaching him “rest”
Back at again today. Nashville Hot seasoning then dusted with corn starch. The corn starch gives it a fried texture and it hold sauce better. My be the perfect wing, smoke, grill char and crispy skin. Try it next time.
