What I tell my DBs everyday during 1 on 1s!!! Know what you did wrong and don't do it again!!! Make the tackle and make them snap it again!!! R.I.P Pops!!
We will have football this fall, we will have football this fall, we have football this fall, we will have football this fall, we will have football this fall, we will have football this fall, we will have football this fall, we will have football this fall, we will have football
With all that is going on, I am very fortunate to FINALLY close on my new home today. This process has been very draining and tiring, and I am glad that it came to an end to start a new beginning!!!! ๐๐ฟ

DBs.. it is VERY important to take mental reps when you're not in during practice! I speak loudly on purpose so when I'm coaching one guy I'm coaching you all! Learn from his mistakes.

Not too much to say. I will miss many things about you. You were a great DB, football player, and a person. You were always full of jokes and you were always respectful when I got on you. You will truly be missed. Love you my dude!! ๐ข๐ข๐ข Long Live KD ๐๐๐

Sad that all of these high school kids and incoming freshman consistently try to catch the ball with one hand and can't even catch with two because of this man ๐คฆ๐ฟโโ๏ธ
College is a business!!! Just because you sign DOES NOT mean that you will keep that scholarship. This will be the first job for many of you, and it is not an easy one to keep. They recruit every year to replace you!

Nobody should be taking plays off! Coaches included! Make your guys get tired of hearing your voice until they no longer are tired because they now understand WHY you are always on them for various reasons. They will thank you later, I promise!
#lifelessons
I love when my players tell me big boys can't sit low like the skilled guys because of weight and how long their legs are. Well... here you go. When you know you know. It's about technique. Not about HOW MUCH! The loading comes LATER!!!
Iโve learned MANY things this year as a first year DC and still have a lot to learn and Iโm willing to learn. Still proud of my VERY YOUNG defense that only had 3 starting seniors on it. We will GROW TOGETHER ๐ช๐พ๐ค.

As we head into this season, DB coaches DO NOT forget to tell ypur guys how important it is to have a short memory after giving up a crucial catch. Move on to the next play and DO NOT let it happen again!!!
When you are GREAT, others will tell you about it! Thatโs all Iโve heard and been hearing about my HC
@CoachJacobs40
. Then I get to see it firsthand! Iโve never in my LIFE seen a coach SMILE while down 14 and WILL a team back to WIN!!! The Creek is in GREAT HANDS!
๐คฆ๐ฟโโ๏ธ Players. DO NOT let the division of college football that you are getting offers from determine your work ethic!!! If you have grinded your a$$ off like a D1 athlete and have received a D2 offer, then TAKE IT!!!! You can't beat FREE!!!! Keep GRINDING!! Breakthrough season!!!!
Stop comparing yourself to the next man. Your grind will more likely be different than his. You just might have to grind much harder than he does just to reach the same destination. Just stay focused and try to be the best version of yourself.
Everybody wants those โathleticโ inner city kids until itโs time to deal with the INNER CITY KIDS PROBLEMS!!! This crap is bigger than ball for many of us so if you are only trying to win football games then just stick to VIDEO GAMES!!!!
*WARNING* explicit language! This is SPOT ON!!!! I tell my guys the saaaame thing! It's all about winning the chess match, and winning your one on one situation no matter the scheme!!! If the WR coach isn't cussing his guys out in 1 on 1s. Then we're not doing our jobs!!!
My guy

talking to his

group about spacing. Specifically working catch technique right now. Heโs putting on a clinic with this session working with college kids from across the nation.
I really enjoyed calling the defense and coaching the 6th grade NC team in todayโs bowl game at

I wonder how many coaches that does not coach football claim to preach multiple sports as much as we football coaches claim ๐ค. How come we never get any track, wrestling, lacrosse, basketball, baseball, tennis, golf, etc... players on the football team??? Just wondering ๐คท๐ฟโโ๏ธ
If your wide receiver coach/trainer is teaching you to drag your toe when you are running routes, LEAVE! Itโs annoying as hell watching the young athletes take 10 mins on their release or getting into their route. YOU DONโT HAVE ALL DAY!
I can say that I really love being a coach at
@MiddleCreekFB
. The amount of love and support that I have received from the staff, kids, and the community already is unbelievable. Ready to heal up to get back to the boys and the grind ๐ช๐ฟ๐ช๐ฟ.

Dear athletes,
College Coaches can see the things that you Tweet, retweet, and LIKE!!!! Don't be the one liking things that YOU KNOW they wouldn't approve of!
Love,
Coach That is seeing your activity!

WE WILL GET THROUGH THIS!!!! I've personally been through much worse!! ๐ช๐ฟ๐ช๐ฟ
DB coaches. Help this man out, and I don't mean put a safety over the top either lol. Remember, the kids are watching. Make sure we teach them the right stuff. What are some things to teach your boys off of this clip?
#critiquethetechnique
DBs... While you are doing all of this training your PAD LEVEL is EXTREMELY important! It will not translate the way you want it to if you don't practice it. Keep working though!!

Eye discipline and lateral movement is key for a DB to be successful in press man coverage. He tried to catch coach slippin. I definitely told him to just go to his left ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ. Love my boys though!
NO MORE PICTURE CHALLENGES PLEASE!!!! I'll do any other football or workout challenges but there aren't many photos of position coaches unless you've been coaching for 70 years lol. Drill work I'll do. Ladder and cone drills. 40 yd dash. Weight room stuff etc. Film too!!!
THIS IS NOT FOOTBALL SON!!!!!! THIS IS NOT what Prime means when he says, "choke em" ๐คฆ๐ฟโโ๏ธ๐คฆ๐ฟโโ๏ธ๐คฆ๐ฟโโ๏ธ. We've got to do better!
I'd rather have a player that think he isn't good enough than have one that think he is too good! One of them will continue to work, while the other one will settle and cause many other selfish issues! Smh!
What makes a coach a good or bad coach? We often criticize MANY players on MANY things but it seems that the lack of coaching coaches is the larger issue IMO! ๐คท๐ฟโโ๏ธ
Booooo ๐๐พ๐๐พ๐๐พ๐๐๐ CONGRATS big dawg. You earned it and you truly deserve it man. Best wishes to you on your next chapter on the next level ๐ช๐พ๐ค

Come August-Dec we will all see what โworkโ was being done. The easiest way to keep a weakness from being exploited is to keep it OFF the field. Invest into your own development. Championships start in the weight room and on that track.
Nothing like hearing "thump thump thump thump thump thump" then walking out to see my champ working on his OWN!!! Now he is stealing my pullup bar lol.

Being respected will get you much more in life than being liked!!!! Teach these kids about self-respect and respecting others! You can literally do EVERYTHING right in a situation and some will still not LIKE you!
Football changed me life and saved my life. I had given up after living from home to home in Durham and really didnโt care about school at all. The only reason I began to care was because football helped me change. True story ๐ค
Donโt think HS Coaches are important?
Take 2mins to listen of the impact one HS Coach had on this man. Itโs more than football. Always has been and always will be!
Not sure whatโs being sold to these jits but to ME getting a scholarship is about being DEBT FREE after you graduate college! That will help your circumstances the rest of your life along with all the other things being taught through playing ball. The hard work isnโt for nothing
@Dbowman85
Put on a great clinic of not only technique, but how to set a standard and hold everybody to it! Building relationships! DB mindset! "Finishing represents the name on the back of your jersey, where you come from"- Coach Bowman. I felt that ๐๐๐ช๐ฟ๐ช๐ฟ๐ฏ
Your opponent doesn't just get in your head, you allowed them to! Whatever is inside YOUR head are YOUR thoughts! If I find out one of my players can throw you off by a few words, YOU ARE DONE FOR!!!! Know yourself, your assignment, and what you are about!!!
The GOAT speaks! Ed Reed said the saaame thing about the U when they were dominate. You have to train the way you fight! It's a mindset and it will really better a TEAM as a whole to he that way!
If you missed it then go and get it on the Google drive!!! Great coaches giving y'all some great insight to DB coaching, and DB play!
