This is why I LOVE the NIL. These coaches are scrambling now and it’s incredible to see.
Saban made money per day at Bama and has the nerve. Lol.
Ain’t no fun when the rabbit got the gun.
In light of the recent allegations on myself and the confusion around the Desert Edge Football And Track Programs, Marcus (

) and I have effectively resigned as the Head Football Coaches and Boys Head Track and Field Coach at Desert Edge High School. This takes in
Unpopular opinion:
There should be some higher level certification required for coaching youth sports. Especially football. Some of these guys are out here hurting these babies more than helping.

Todd Bowles missed his opportunity to be great and his message allows people like you to have these kinds of thoughts. He dropped the ball. Mayo didn’t.
Please say a prayer for the South Mountain Jaguars Football Family and Community as last night a football player lost his life last night. The young man who lost his life is good football player a great young man. Love you LA! It was pleasure and honor to be your coach.

😂. Exploitation is not development. He needed those kid blood, sweat, and tears to get to the status he’s at. He’s making 32k a day. Those kids got the wealth from playing. Now they can get it earlier.
For the record… because there’s someone right now screenshotting my convos to send to the AIA or my AD, I’m Pro Student Athlete. I’m against adults selling dreams to kids to get them to move. I’m pro families doing what’s best for them. I’m anti- treating these kids as property

To all my Black Coaches. We get caught up in asking White Coaches to speak up. What we need to do is call our white players. Call them and tell them you love them. They are not the problem. Imagine how they feel? Conflicted? Helpless? Guilty? Hit them up and tell them!

@CoachKurtHines
Here we go with the fake outrage. I really didn’t imagine you getting on this train coach. Dr. Seuss’s company did that on their own. They held themselves accountable. You talk about accountability, yet you use this moment to fan the flame of lies.
#StickToTheFacts
Lol! Infer what you want.
1. I know for a fact had this been going on in South Phoenix, it wouldn’t so lengthy and wouldn’t be so much grace.
2. I’ve yet to see Gilbert “thugs” or “gang” only “goons” I guys the previous two are reserved for…
3. The most damning thing about
JUST IN: An 18-year-old has been arrested after an attack on a teen boy at a Gilbert In-N-Out. This is the first known arrest related to the string of teen-linked violence that has shaken Gilbert and Queen Creek.
They say this coaching community is a family. Indeed it is. My brother

I wanted to talk to Desert Edge co-HC Marcus Carter about his players and visit to

"We're trying to build these young men into successful men in society."
Read:
The day I take credit for a kid’s success, is the day I stop coaching. Why? Because it’s no longer about them and it’s about me. That’s not why I coach.
#Soak
I dare coaches to tweet or retweet an accomplishment from at least one kid from another school twice a week.
Even better…
Tweet out an accomplishment for a kid from a rival school…
What you think
@SpiceBoy408
?
Quick question: why when
@JUSTCHILLY
or any media member drops these kids of tweets all you grown folks get in here being negative? If it was your kid, you’d be happy.
So treat these posts as if it was your own kids.

Tolleson the new football darlings in AZ…
New QB
Talented ‘27 Edge
Arguably the top ‘26 WR
High level RB
Top ‘26 Transfer
Culture is poppin
They young, but expectations are high!!
@CoachKurtHines
“We” didn’t focus on canceling Dr Suess books, and that’s my point. They decided to do that and I applaud them for doing so. Not one complaint was filed.
Bringing music in this seems like a case of “whataboutism” that really don’t correlate with one another.
Happy 4 year Hiring Anniversary to our Head Football coaches

Thank you for all you’ve done for DE Football. By the numbers…

Words can’t express how proud of you I am
@JamarBealGoines
. Watching you grow has been one of the highlights of my career. You literally started from the bottom. That’s what makes this special.
Love you man.
Scorpion Nation is excited to announce that the governing board has officially approved Marcus Carter as our next Head Football Coach. He will he joined by brother Mark Carter as co-head coach.
#WeRDE
Don’t mean to be that guy, but this is way overdue and there should be more people speaking on this. I get there are a lot of teams that won, yet he’s the FIRST Black HC in the history of football in this state to win a Ship. Talk about inspiring. My guy should win COY. Period.
@WallStreetApes
Louisiana experienced the highest per-capita murder rate (16.1 per 100,000) among all U.S. states in 2022 for the 34th straight year (1989–2022). 46th in education. Louisiana ranks as the second-poorest state in the US, with a poverty rate of 17.80%. 3rd worst state to raise a
Some folks not gonna like this, but I’m gonna say it anyway.
For those who are silent... remember you players on your team who are people of color. Your silence isn’t going unnoticed. We talk about building leaders. You’re supposed to be showing them the way.
Food for thought
The recent coaching changes should open folk’s minds and eyes to why kids transfer and why they need to be left alone. We don’t hear any gripe about the UW coach leveling up. Kids were blindsided. Heck, people are happy for him. He put himself in a better situation. That’s the
So to put my earlier tweets into context, the first state champion was crowned in AZ in 1912... here we are in 2020 and Coach Davis won it as a Black HC. First and Only one. Yet, it’s not being talked about. Weird...
I don’t care what anyone says.. the RB

#Respect
To HCs: When you say you “empower” your staff, you do realize it involves you relinquishing “power?” Saying it and doing it are 2 totally different things. Can’t say it then micromanage. Can’t say it and then have your hands on everything.

My guy sent me this yesterday. Truly a profound statement.

Or coaches can get out and network. How about not sitting behind the desk with the “if you’re good they’ll find you mindset” because that is one of the biggest lies ever told. Those are same coaches that focus more on wins than getting kids to school. If you build relationships
Once you’re my brother, you’re always my brother. Happy he got this opportunity and my only hope is that we equipped him with the skills to be the great leader he is!
#EachOneTeachOne
The Carter twins are unapologetically themselves. They allow their players to do the same. They brought in boomboxes for pregame warmups. In all honesty, it pissed a lot of people off. HC Henri MacArthur talks about the culture he wants to continue on at Desert Edge🎥
I’d like to know the logic behind this. This man done nothing but fantastic things for that school and community.
Besides being one of my mentors, he’s a man of God who’s always been there for me. He will land on his feet.
Here’s a link to a GoFundMe for the young man we lost yesterday. His mom is going through a difficult time. If there’s anything you can donate to help, please do. Even if you just share. Thanks again.
