Parents let your kid sit the bench. It creates a decision that reveals character, they will either: 1. Be complacent and stay there. 2. Work harder to earn a spot. 3.Quit. That’s the problem, kids aren’t facing “the bench” until adulthood.
Saw a thread about pettiness as a Head Coach? Well, I Had an AD that fought a panel to not hire me TWICE! Every year since then, I’ve mailed playoff tickets to his house…also ordered him a state championship ring. 🤷♂️
#workingOnMyself
BREAKING NEWS—Biden signs legislation stating that referees will uniformly support the rule that coaches can be on the field to signal plays as long as they off, and in the box by the time the ball is snapped
The amount of posts/tweets from coaches complaining about working too much is crazy. You can always quit 🤷♂️. SPOILER ALERT: Coaching FB is not a 5 day week full of 8 hour days. Not even close.
Made this prospect camp list for Arkansas In State schools for our kids and figured I would share and save some coaches some time. (There may be more dates, these were the ones that were sent to us as of today)
A few years ago, when coaching circles got big on twitter, it was awesome. So many guys sharing and just taking ball. Now my feed and FB groups are just full of “opportunist” and “look at me’s” All the whole, everyone thought Indy 7on7s and trainers were a threat to our game? 😂
Is everyone in agreement that it’s time to play a scrimmage game in the spring, against another school to close out spring football? I think other states already do this.
I rarely get sideways with officials, but if it happens, this almost always the reason. Gonna print this and give it to them in pregame when they exchange cards 😂
@RAN_TX555
Well he since he left all of our athletic programs have taken off!state champions in 4 sports,boys and girls and we’ve built some of the best athletic facilities in our classification. So you could just enjoy the tweet for what it is(a joke) and get some cream for that butt hurt
Construction is under way! New locker room, film room, offices, and training room! Can’t wait to have these facilities for our football players!
@QuitmanFootball
In regards to the several trash articles written about Arkansas HS Football in the last few days, let’s be realistic.Are less kids playing football…yes a few. Is the quality of football improved in arkansas? Absolutely! So while each school may have less players “most” are (1/3)
Prediction: in 2044, this guy wins the Presidential Election by a landslide, beating Ronald Reagan’s record of 525 electoral college votes. And I’ll be walking around telling everyone “I called this in 2016”.
Got this idea from
@bbudde
! This year at games in the Q, coaches wives who have to drive long distances hauling kids and everything else will, have the first 3 spots to the left of the gate to get in and out more easily! They’ve earned these spots, and it’s the least we can do!
Stay open minded in this profession.16 mo. ago I read an article by
@pntrack
& scoffed,even retweeted making fun bc it was “soft” as a sat there w 1 Player at a sub 5.0. After a deeper dive into FTC, 16 months pass & we have 8/33 under a 5.0 & won’t have Def starter under a 5.4
It’s that time again! Practice plans done, scripts created, scout teams organized, timers synced, fields are painted. It’s football szn y’all! Dawgs hit the field at 8am and again at 4pm!

We aren’t there yet, but I’m proud of these dudes and how far they have come. 2.71 a year ago and now here we are! How you do anything is how you do everything!
Young coaches…don’t chase talent, don’t chase what schools have done in the past, don’t chase facilities. That can all be changed…INSTEAD chase good people, and most importantly, Chase GOOD ADMINISTRATORS. That’s free
PSA for football coaches…workouts on Monday July 22nd are going to be sluggish…you, your staff, and your players will be up all weekend playing CollegeFB25…don’t expect much, it’s been a long time….
Used to be soooo many coaches on this app with ALL the answers for sale$$$…now, they don’t even coach no more! Young coaches don’t fall for the scam, find someone who’s been around or wants to help the profession…that’s the dudes I would(and do) listen to!
All these FB coach zooms have been awesome. But I want to challenge coaches:pick a day, don’t zoom, skip the meetings and instead spend that time in the word a few times that day in place of football. Ask God to help you become a better MAN for your players.
#realtalkWednesday
Unpopular Opinion:you can’t be a great coach and suck at being a teacher.We preach to the kids excellence isn’t something you can turn on and off,it’s true for us too!Glad my conversations with my assistant coaches tonight were about football AND teaching this week.

345-66...let that sink in.When i first started coaching,I found out coach was at rehab(post surgery)place close to my parents home,so called & asked if I could come visit. He told me to come on and we talked ball and life for 3hrs. It’s Unreal what I learned in that afternoon
Natl HOF coach Frank McClellan died last night. Teams were 345-66-4 (83%) at Barton w/8 state titles. He HATED to lose. Teams held nat’l record w/111 straight regular-season wins. Loved crappie fishin & gospel sings. Supported Hooten’s start in 1993. Thankful for the great FM.
We have to be better at tackling & safer at tackling.Everyone has went to rugby style to take the head out,but what about Kabaddi?They don’t miss many tackles & it’s group tackling in an open area.We have been studying it & watching it for a while & today we got out and played it
Crazy day. After a smooth delivery, Lindsey had to go back to the OR for another surgery. Baby Atley is doing great and she’s as healthy as can be. Lindsey has come out of recovery and is awake doing great. Thanks for all the Prayers!
Arkansas is on deck! FB coaches all over this state have done a tremendous job following guidelines and making it safe for our kids. Let’s get to the next step!
@AsaHutchinson
After adhering the guidelines since June 1, the ArFCA feels we are ready to move forward with the previously approved AAA calendar beginning Monday August 3rd by practicing in helmets. We support
@asahutchinson
and his decisions during these unprecedented times.
You always here about how much other states love thier high school football, but let’s not overlook the fact that in ARKANSAS today, there will be a high school football game with around 40,000 people in attendenace. Crazy.
So while it’s fun to say “football is dying” in arkansas in order to gain more readers, don’t use a couple programs and their inability to compete at a higher classification to spread a false narrative. See y’all on Friday nights! (3/3)
Gov. Asa Hutchinson says today that Arkansas high school football teams can continue to have intrasquad scrimmages and then go into their benefit games next week.

Yes, I stole this from another teachers post. But I saw this today and was so proud. I’ve been saying this since I met

in 2015....if this country is lucky enough, he’s gonna end up in the White House one day.
Great message to think about today
“How do you pray?
Because this is the difference —
Do you pray to be blessed?
Or...
Do you pray to be a blessing?”
— Nick Saban 🙏🏼
Coaches: everyone wear mask and follow the rules so we can play this season The Same Coaches: when you are doing illegal things, don’t post it social media bc we might get in trouble. 🙄 It always catches up to you.
I get it...There is a time and place for all trash talk, but jawing at the pitcher while trotting around 2nd, after hitting a bomb, IS the 100% most perfect place for it.
This is the French Ambassador’s Pearl Harbor Day Tweet that he deleted(coward)—

it was our young men that stormed your beach and handed you back your country after you lost it. A simple “Thanks” will do next time
Dawgs are dancing! So proud of this group! There’s Nothing like the high school football playoffs! No shirts will be printed, no signs will be hung. This is the new expectation, not the exception.
#PRYDE
It’s the little things. Proud of my guys, 47/47 lockers in perfect order, uniformed, and clean everyday, all spring. We are starting to understand what it takes

New QB cams with reverse lens eye camera to be able to be in the QBs helmet to replay reps on film. This stuff is unreal.
@QuitmanFootball
QBs getting to learn on a whole new level
I’m hoping Covid-19 turns out to be like the Cubs:
1. Super Hyped Up in the Spring
2. Formidable, yet streaky opponent in the early summer.
3. Begins to fade by late summer
4. Forgotten about by the fall
We didn’t lift today, we didn’t sprint, we didn’t practice football. Instead, we ate fish, we caught fish, and we had a fishing competition. We had dudes just standing around, fishing, and hanging out, shooting the bull!

@PriceHolmes_
If you wanna know if you can coach…try to teach 7th-8th graders ANYTHING…If you can hold their attention and explain it where they can do it, you got the touch!
In honor of everyone posting football pics, I thought I’d throw in some quarantine humor in. I took this during one of our JH games this last season. I took the pic bc no one would believe me if i told them 😂

One of my top moments being a Dad....Rylan & I are driving and there are some trees flooded high with water...
Rylan: “Daddy look at those trees with all that water...mmmmm ummmm some mallards in there I bet”. I teared up.
This is the busiest time of year for us, but I’m thankful that after work on Sundays, our coaching staff takes time to talk about what matters and do a Bible study together! Big thanks to Coach Phillips and Coaches Outreach for providing this and the awesome material!
Aren’t we to the point as High School Football Coaches where we can create 1 database and upload every game film you play there, so if a team wants film they can get it. Maybe I’m wrong, but I would be all for this.

The night before our season kicks off! I’m pumped,But it’s hard to sit¬ think about more than fball. As Coaches&Christians we have so many ppl around us hurting.We have to step up as leaders& make sure the nxt gen is better than us.If u don’t take that personal,u don’t get it
