This is a cheap ploy to get “likes.” I’m tired of people using him. He was a husband, son, brother, and friend who ALL miss him terribly. Leave him be. Seriously, knock it the f*ck off.
Took some time but finally realized it was time for therapy. Too many little things I can’t/couldn’t let go of, quick to frustration & anger, moody, & just not the person I want to be. Or the person I want my kids & wife to have to deal with.
It’s ok to not be ok.

There’s NOTHING like playing in Rose Bowl.
The tradition. The venue. The pomp & circumstance.
While we didn’t win, it’s an experience & game I’ll never forget and am forever grateful that I got to play in it.
As the coach of a team that got its a** kicked a few times this year all I can is this…
There is no magic answer. No magic pill. There is work. Then more work. And then even more work.
Take it on the chin. Then get up off the mat & go to work.
I hate today. My heart hurts. I’m sad and just really miss my friend. I’m thankful for the time we did have but it wasn’t enough & I want more. Ugh.

I’m going to be perfectly honest with you, my Twitter people.
I’m not sure I could possibly be any happier than I am right now.
It’s Friday. No school tomorrow. Get to train tomorrow. More football on...
...and, oh yeah, WE F*CKING BOAT RACED THAT SCHOOL DOWN SOUTH.

SAME.
Can't even imagine what was going through her mind while that was happening.
Like, "listen b*tches I ain't pay for no ride like this...put me DOWN and I'll walk."
Actually...on average a football athlete will spend 55hrs/wk on the sport (film, lifting, meetings, practice, etc.) for an average of 350 days/year. That's 19,250 hours. If you divide the tuition by the number of hours worked the total comes to approximately $2.30/hour.
It’s HERE!
I’m able to finally let everyone know what’s happening.
This has been a long time in the making. I’ve had other opportunities throughout my life. They just weren’t the right ones and/or I wasn’t in the right place.
I’ve spent an extensive amount of time the last…
Can’t believe it’s been 20 years. Not sure how time has gone so fast.
I will forever remember our time together & friendship. You’ve inspired me to be the best version of myself.
The world lost an amazing human. We lost an amazing friend.
Love & miss ya.
Some facts: 1) we never threw the ball in the 4th; 2) we rushed for over 400 yards; 3) we had the chance to drop 77. 4) this was my favorite game of ‘96
version for my family, friends & students. It’s because of the time, consistency, discipline, & hard work that I’m now in this position.
Now is the right time.
I’ve accepted the HC job for Pacifica High School. I’m stoked!
I’m f*cking PUMPED.
I wanted to hit 250 before leaving for AZ. There’s been peaks & valleys and through it all, I’ve stayed consistent.
288.8 —> 250.2 = 38 pounds lost.
Huge thank you to

I’ve been in therapy for six weeks. It has been an uplifting experience. Coming to terms w/traits & characteristics that have hindered my ability to communicate effectively & caused consternation & friction w/those I care & love most. /1
Thread.
I went into teaching so I could be a coach. Not a great reason. Which is a form of teaching BUT I didn’t do a good job of teaching in the classroom & helping my students.
I was brash & arrogant. I didn’t give my students the time & attention they needed. /1
RUN THE BALL. RUN THE BALL. RUN THE BALL. RUN THE BALL. RUN THE BALL. RUN THE BALL. RUN THE BALL. RUN THE BALL. RUN THE BALL. RUN THE BALL. RUN THE BALL. RUN THE BALL. RUN THE BALL. RUN THE BALL. RUN THE BALL. RUN THE BALL. RUN THE BALL. RUN THE BALL. RUN THE BALL. RUN THE BALL.
Just so it’s crystal clear, I am pro-choice. Pro-equal rights. Pro-gun control. Pro-intellectualism. I respect the opinions of those I may disagree with. And, if your beliefs attempt to control the rights of anyone else’s freedoms, I’m uninterested in further discourse.
ASU now needs to handle success well, something they didn't always do last year. Two of their Pac-12 South foes, USC and Colorado, lost their respective games yesterday after beating a Top-25 team the week before. So a big test ahead for the Sun Devils in their Pac-12 opener.
‘National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation’ came out 30 years ago today on 1st December 1989. Retweet if you agree it is one of the best 80s Christmas movies...
I will never understand ASU people talking crap about Arizona basketball. The pleasure they took yesterday is super weird to me.
Matt should be spending this time coming up with enough money to keep the team from bailing every year.
This is going to sound odd, I forgot how much I love coaching.
Being on the field…teaching, molding, smiling, joking, and the excitement that comes from watching kids make plays.
What a blast.
Massive thanks to
@Coach_Joe28
his staff and
@ASUFootball
for allowing
@mominacube
and me to use the weight room this afternoon.
Brought back a ton of memories and felt right at home. Appreciate the warmth shown to the alumni.
Thanks again.

guard Nick Allegretti, who started Super Bowl LVIII in place All-Pro Joe Thuney, played all 79 snaps despite suffering a torn UCL in his elbow in the second quarter, per source.
An MRI today revealed the full tear. Few are tougher than Allegretti, now a three-time champ.
I’m in a classroom everyday for roughly 10 months. I’m around teenagers. I see how they laugh, smile, agonize, grind, & celebrate. I cannot, for the life of me, imagine losing them to gun violence & not figuring out a way to make it stop.
If an athlete or student continually…
Be an offensive lineman is one the greatest things ever.
There are no words that can aptly describe what it’s like. It’s helped shape me into the person I am.
I felt a huge level of comfort being around a large group of OLs. These are my people.
What a weekend.
Hi, I’m Kyle Murphy. High school teacher, OL trainer, former college football player & high school coach. I battle w/trying to be perfect, self-doubt, feelings of unworthiness, rigidity, & needing control. I’m in therapy weekly. You’re not alone. We’re in this together.
People can sh*t on Twitter all they want but it’s given me an amazing support system & unbelievable friends.
I appreciate everyone who checked in.
It means a ton & I’m incredibly grateful.
Thank you.
Today is
#PatsRun
- an amazing event w/30,000 participating in AZ and a plethora in honor runs across the country.
I’m thankful so many recognize and want to honor who and what Pat stood for.
But at the same time it’s always a tough day...I miss my friend.
Charles Barkley said he wanted to give up Diet Coke as a New Year's Resolution.
In response, Shaq, Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson each enjoyed a Diet Coke as Inside the NBA goes off the air.
There are roughly 1.7 million academic scholarships given/year.
Conversely, roughly 180,000 athletic scholarships given/year in D1 & D2.
That means the majority of kids have a better chance of earning an academic scholarship than athletic.
Something to think about.
@mominacube
was diagnosed w/a benign meningioma (type of brain tumor) ~ 6 weeks ago. Today she underwent Gamma Knife Radiation to shrink it. It was kinda brutal but it’s done & she’s home. She’ll be monitored closely for the next year to make sure it behaves & leaves her alone.
Anyone with multiple Ds or Fs will not practice for us during spring ball. They’ve had 12 weeks to work on their grades. If we can’t trust you to take care of what you’re supposed to off the field, then we can trust you on it.
Football is a privilege.
Started our annual Abes Boot Camp today. Any players with 1 F or 2Ds must attend at least 1.5 hrs of tutoring by Thursday night. 2.0 or no spring ball for our players, they are students first !
There are days filled with doubt, frustration and exasperation...BUT, when a parent writes a card like this, I know I’m making a worthwhile impact. I’m grateful for the opportunity to positively affect young people.
#Teacher
A new opportunity has been presented.
An opportunity that will be hard & full of ups & downs.
Am I strong enough to allay my fears, insecurities, & idiosyncrasies to allow my strengths to shine & maintain balance?
Am I strong enough to say yes?
I’m getting closer & closer.
Happiest anniversaries to the love of my life,
@mominacube
. Married for 18, together for 23.
If you can name it, we’ve been through it. Not sure how we’ve come out the other side sometimes. I do know I’m right where I’m supposed to be w/the person I’m supposed to be with. ❤️
May 1, 2004
Twenty years ago I married an extraordinary woman.
That aren’t enough words to tell you how deep my love is for you. Having the opportunity to continue to show for the next 20 is all I want.
Happy Anniversary,
@mominacube
.
All my love.
We’re not seriously trying to make the case that Antonio Pierce is a good HC because the Raiders beat a booty Giants squad and barely beat a slightly less booty Jets squad, right??
….RIGHT?
Junior ELA teacher told me that it was unrealistic to think I was going to get a college football scholarship.
Ran into that teacher spring of my senior year. She asked if I was applying to schools. I said no b/c I accepted a full scholly to ASU. Then walked away.
#ForksUp
If you blame Manny Wilkins for why ASU lost yesterday than you’re a punk. Yup, said it.
The entire offense played like sh*t in the second half. And yet, there is vitriol for Manny. You want to rip the team, cool. You want to rip an individual...than suit the f*ck up.
#ForksUp
PSA: if you’re a recruit and have committed to a school that’s AMAZING. That said, you can only be committed 100%. Not 110. Not 1000. ONE HUNDRED PERCENT.
Herein lies your first math lesson.
I GRADUATED THERAPY YESTERDAY!!!
What a journey. So thankful for my therapist. She was exactly what I needed & is as skilled a person as I've been around.
Can't recommend therapy enough. If you have questions and/or need to talk, send me a DM.
THANK YOU!!
To everyone who took the time to congratulate me & send messages.
I’m honored so many people have reached out & are pulling for us. It’s been overwhelming in the best possible way.
I’m eternally grateful for the support.
