The last 48 hours has been a reminder to me about what makes this profession special. I’ve heard from former players, co-workers, coaches, friends and family. This profession is about building and developing relationships, and the last few days have been incredible. Thank you!
Year 20 is ready to get started! Rookies are moving in today and returners are here tomorrow! Incredibly blessed to be in this profession! Thank you to all of those who’ve been there for me over the years!

Happy Anniversary to my wonderful wife
@emwitte35
Can’t believe it’s already been four years! She is such a wonderful mother and my biggest supporter. I definitely out kicked my coverage with her. To be honest I’m not sure if that kick has landed yet!
Great team win today! Wasn’t always pretty but the effort was outstanding! Long way to go to become the team we want to be but this was a great step forward!

Happy Birthday to my wonderful wife
@emwitte35
The word strong is an understatement to describe her! Wouldn’t be who I am or where I am without her support! And she is an amazing mother to our two boys! Have a great day beautiful!
This morning I watched assistant coaches drive the tempo and leaders take that and start driving it on their own! Great energy this morning! Construction is under way on the culture and it I’m grateful to have a great staff helping to create it!

Things leaders do:
-Bring light to the darkness. -Give direction to the lost. -Clear the path for others to follow. -Lift up those who have fallen. We are all called to be leaders, but will we choose to answer that call!

Looking for a coach looking to get into the college game. Guys with RB or WR experience that are interested send me a DM and email me your resume. Position runs from August to December and includes housing!
Congratulations to my Dad the original Coach Nardo! After 43 years in the newspaper industry (42 with the same company) today he is officially retired! Just in time for the start of the season!
My grandfather would reply "Lord willing" every time I'd say "see you tomorrow". That simple statement is a constant reminder that today is all we are guaranteed. Stay focused on today & make the most of your opportunities & hopefully "Lord willing" you will have more to come!
Can’t believe that this little man is already 6 months old! I don’t know what I’ve done to deserve a family like this, but I thank God everyday!
#FamilyOverEverything
Huge win today great things on both sides of the ball! Far from perfect and a long way to go, but I’m looking forward to the journey! Todays the worst we will ever be!

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the mothers in my life. My mom, grandmothers, aunts, sister in laws and cousins provide great examples of what it means to love! A special Happy Mothers Day to my wonderful wife, I still can’t believe how lucky I am to have her in my life!
Yesterday, something spilled in our kitchen and without hesitation our 2 year old said, “it’s ok mom it’s just a mess, we can clean it up.” If a two year old can look past the problem to the solution, then why can’t we as adults?
