This kid decided 2 leave mom, lil bro &close friends to join me in moving to Reno back n Feb. lil bro & mom joined 2 months later but COVID has made it very difficult for him to meet new friends. Very proud of his maturity n these tough times.

So... my son’s decided to be on different Little League teams so that they can play and pitch against each other… That opportunity happens tonight. The fathers dream& a mothers nightmare.

When I got to
@ASUFootball
in 2000 all the Cali players (including me) hated on AZ football... things have changed 😤
Shot out ALL the AZ youth & HS ball coaches... the grind is real!
If the NCAA made this decision while I was in college… the 18-21yr me would have pursued sponsorships from:
-Wendy’s dollar menu
-Jack n the Box late night menu
-Pro Club White Ts
-Lids
-Air Force 1s
-Ross

Nevada secondary coach Riccardo Stewart is in his first season as a full-time FBS assistant coach and is loving every minute of it.
Catch our full interview with Stewart on tonight's NSN Daily at 4, 6, and 10 p.m.
Whenever one of my sons ask me to play catch I try always to say yes (even after 8pm).
I once heard someone say in regards to parenting “the days are long but the years are short” got to take advantage of it now before it’s gone
#MomentsAndMemories
Be 1-0 today in life!
Do the little things right:
Be for others
Give thanks
Be thankful
Show respect
Work hard (no matter who notices)
Basically, do what is right...because it is right... until it feels right.
Be 1-0 today!
Cali HS Football on Thursday...
New Orleans HS Football on Friday...
but the best trip was the flight home from NOLA early this morning to be able to watch my biggest recruit... 12U QB1 Noah Stewart
My Mama & Both aunties flew in from Mississippi… One Uncle flew in from Georgia and the other one from Florida to watch
@NevadaFootball
. So thankful for them... wouldn’t be here w/o them.
#thankful
One of the best gifts is being a Dad to these boys ... Mom usually gets all the love (cuz she deserves it) but the love they show me is more than enough.
Proud of my lil man. I was wondering why he had a sports coat this morning when I was taking him to school. He said “I have a speech today and I want to look nice”. His teacher emailed me this pic
#prouddad
My sons ask so many good questions & I love to try to provide answers. I don’t have answers for the questions they ask of me today. My answers would be insufficient. Today they didn’t get answers they got tears & prayers (for them for now) that’s sufficient
Many of us are in great positions today because of what others did for us yesterday... Be thankful & do something good for someone else today.

I haven’t played football in 17 years...yet, I find myself pedaling & breaking in the kitchen, hallway etc. at random times 🤣🤣
Being a DB is habit forming... a mindset, a personality… a way of life....you never leave it & it never leaves you 😤

Last year I visited an original Slave Port outside of Lagos, Nigeria in Badagry. It was a visceral experience w/ many emotions. If you don’t know about
#Juneteenth
take some (good) time to learn & reflect. They don’t teach this in schools. You learn this from Big Mama & nem. 💯
Happy Birthday to my favorite 10yr old. Very few people bring as much joy to my life. Eli “Pup” Stewart was a godsend to our family. FYI.. he plays for the Padres…Tatis is his favorite player… But he’s a Dodgers fan… We do know how to raise our kids...I promise
The annoying part about moving is packing ...
The hardest part is saying goodbye...
The toughest part (by far) is watching my boys say goodbye 😢.

#nextstopPHX
I have much to me thankful for...Wife & sons, family & friends, coworkers, former & current coaches/leaders/teachers, etc. Gratitude has to drown out the noise of complaints. Gratitude begets gratitude & complaining begets contempt.

My Mama (most appropriate title) flew in from Mississippi...came to visit her grandkids and me… made Fried chicken, macaroni & cheese, candied yams, cabbage, red beans and rice with cornbread… Just a regular Tuesday dinner 🤣🤣.

I’m glad Netflix retold the Manti Te'o story. Complete proof that we should never make a judgment without hearing the other side… There’s always two sides to a story.
We moved from one desert (PHX) to another (Reno). Not all deserts are created equal 🤷🏾♂️. Summer nights in Reno are incredible...And the sun is still up past 8 PM.

Kids need to fail. It’s The 4 letter F word that parents/teachers/coaches need to allow. Meaning, taking Ls & getting “punched in the mouth” is needed for long term growth. Kids may not getting ‘soft’but we as adults might be 🤷🏾♂️
#mondaymorningthoughts
Growing up I thought baseball was boring... my Son’s got interested 7 years ago...I observed...coached club ball & now it has become a healthy obsession. All sports are literally poetry in motion... A unique expression of art.
You can always expect
@Utah_Football
to be well coached, smart & physical. Over the past two decades (at least) they have figured out how to get the most out of their football players… You never hear of an “underachieved “ team or player from that program.
#Respect
A New Year of God’s Grace...something he gives to us freely. He offers us more than a “2nd chance”... he offers a whole new life.
Let’s get it!

We are predominantly a football House… This kid plays soccer (like Mom) & this year’s

has inspired him to get left foot shots in before school instead of watch YouTube 😤

My days are packed but full of joy. I get the privilege to coach, teach & develope young adults by day & do the same w/ my own young men at home by night... same message just different context.

One of the most complex & astonishing concepts known to us is GRACE... getting that which we did not earn or deserve...freely, often & forever.
