When I’m driving through Mississippi and pass through a town with a piggly wiggly 2 things I’m 99% sure about that town.
1.) on a Friday nights in the fall the entire town will be at the football game
2.) really good people live there with great food.
First time addressing the student body formally as the Head Football Coach of West Harrison High School. I just loved the energy inside of the building. I can really feel a

@CoachECollins
for the last 8 years he’s been a father figure, a head coach, a mentor, and most importantly a FRIEND. Together we have battled fires and walked through valleys but all in all great times.

Excited to finally open “The Hurricane Shelter” thanks to our administrators, school board, athletic directors, community and everyone who believed in our program and athletes.

I hate when people say it’s just track, it’s just tennis or powerlifting or any of the non major American sports. It’s so disrespectful to the kids their parents and coaches who sacrifice energy and time into their sport.
Happy Anniversary to my beautiful Queen and the real head coach. Thankful for everything we have accomplished together and even more excited for everything we are going to accomplish.

What a blessed week I’ve had this week. Not blessed because I had chance to come some of the best football players in state of Mississippi but blessed to be around some of the best young men in state.

As an assistant I worked as hard I could because I knew my head coach trusted me to feed his family
As a head coach I work as hard as I can because I know my assistant coaches trust me to feed their families.
He has spent the entire month of February honoring all the black coaches throughout the state of Mississippi. Today we honor
@CoachD_Gary
one of the best doing it right now. Keep your head down and keep chopping 🪓 🪓 🪵
I’ve had some great mentors when it comes to football one of them who has taught me so much about not just football but about life and I still call him for advice

The untalked about part of spring football in Mississippi:
Day 1 high temp can be 60s and by the time you play your spring game the high can be in the 90s.
Coaches wife : let’s go out today and get out the house
Coach: that sounds awesome
Coaches wife: put on some normal clothes not gym shorts and don’t dress like a coach
Coaches looking in their closet:
Everyone love the turf fields because you don’t have to cut the grass and stripe the field but it’s a different story when your wife tell you to sweep up the little black pellets you brought home in your shoes after summer workouts.
I pride myself on having the best attitude of any teacher or coach on campus. Do I fall short some days? Yes a lot actually but try it again the next day. “Attitude reflects leadership captain”
Attitude is an asset or liability in your work environment.

I couldn’t have asked for a better group of seniors to help me lay a foundation for the West Harrison Football program. Like I said earlier we weren’t going to measure our “success” this year on wins and losses.

Today is my little guys birthday what a blessing this year was for us through all the ups and downs of the outside world. Happy birthday man. Slow down this year flew by.
So many people want to only measure success and growth by the scoreboard, but I’ve witnessed so much growth and success in West Harrison Football program since May 22nd. I’m beyond proud of the “never give up” mentality.
To every high school athlete in Union, Ms I believe in you and you can make it as far as you want to go. Keep working and don’t let anyone tell you anything different.

My professional journey over the last decade has been truly a blessing. The young men I’ve been able to coach to working with some of the best God fearing men on planet earth. As we start the new decade I pray to you Lord to order my steps in your word.
#bestyet2come
Want to personally thank all of our fans, parents, cheerleaders, band members and everyone In the West Harrison community for the great support all year.
#NXTSTEP
The best thing about powerlifting in the state of Mississippi is yes the athletes are competing and competitive but watching them earn each other’s respect and encouraging each another is something special.
Unpopular opinion: the off season isn’t just for athletes to get better at their craft, but also for coaches. Auburn coaching clinic. Let’s get to work
#Now
Not the outcome we prepared for all week but I’m excited to be the head coach of West Harrison High School. The kids fought extremely hard all night and community showed up with great support. West Harrison High School and community is a diamond in the rough.
A year ago today professionallly speaking one of the greatest days of my life. I was officially named the Head Coach of West Harrison High School Football Team. Thanks to everyone who helped me and made this possible.

Normally I can process everything internally and never turn to social medial but this one just hits hard and different. This was my guy only person I ever met who was happier than me in the morning.

My goal for next summer is to take a group of kids to some camps at some of the MAC schools and other schools outside of the Mason Dixon line. We have kids that can play college ball but they have to have the exposure as well. Not all our kids can play at LSU

at West Harrison will be worn by the athlete voted on by coaches and players as team captain. GPA, summer workouts, and leadership.

I want send to love to my first hero the WOMAN who taught me to be a MAN. Dropped me off at practice while she was leaving 1 job headed to her 2nd one. So here is my “WHY” Love You
#mommasboy
Young assistant coaches you want to be noticed by the head coach and taken serious show up to practice and team functions before the head coach. Start passing out the laundry loops, sweeping up the locker room or the coaches’ office.
Happy father day. Even though you’re gone I carry your memory daily. I posted this pic because you said this was the proudest moment of your life having a college graduate in the family. Hope you’re still proud of me.

The West Harrison High School family really outdid themselves tonight. Thanks to the band, the cheerleaders, the dance team, the amazing student section, and everyone else who supported us tonight.

The play sheet in your back pocket. In the middle of a game we had conversation about life that meant more than any play would ever have meant to me. So to that I say thank you

and love you.

speakers are amazing but it’s nothing better than sitting in the lobby talking some ball, culture, leaderships, solutions with your fellow coaches and brothers.
