Dear
@Hudl
we pay for your services. Why do we have to watch an advertisement before watching every recruit? Every football program in the entire country is paying you. Maybe you could help the recruits?
High school football players, if you're a skill position, run track. If you're a lineman, throw the shot or discuss. If you're a LB or TE find an event and go compete in track & field. You will become physically & mentally stronger. The good track coaches will put you to WORK.
Recruits,
Run track, play basketball, baseball, soccer, swimming, power lifting, anything that allows you to compete in a different skill set. As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.
#JustCompete
Especially if you play soccer and run track!

only!! Not shared! By the way, just a short walk from the dorms, since it is on campus!

My first coaching job in college football paid $688/month & worked 70-80 hours/week. I lived in a 1 bedroom apt. w/ 3 other grown men & we slept on bunk beds.

Construction has begun on the D. Kirk Edwards Family Human Performance Center. New locker room, weight room, training room, class rooms, offices and labs. This facility is next level.

By far one of the greatest displays of unselfish, brotherly love. For a DE to give up a 70 yard TD, so the senior can get a TD on senior. What a special group of young men. Love this team.
Chris Hoad is the best player in

to show appreciation for his teammate on Senior Night (the celebration was penalized but who cares)
Prove yourself right!
My Jr. High counselor told my parents I would not be college material (B.S. & M.S.)
HS coach didn’t think I was fit for college football (3 year starter after walking-on)
At the time, they were both accurate assessments. I just wanted to prove me right.🙏
This might be a different year but we’re still recruiting the classes of 2021 & 2022. We can’t wait to watch you guys play this fall. Stay safe & good luck.

ACL surgery in 1 hour. 15 years of football and never had a knee injury. Land awkwardly one time after a 360 windmill dunk, and pop, ACL is gone. I’ll be back in no time.
#ChasingElite
The lockers have all been programmed and ready to go. There’s still a lot of work to be done in the new locker room but we’re ready to move in. Sunday night can’t get here soon enough.
#ChaseElite
The OL never gets enough credit, but this guy made the ultimate sacrifice. Tyson went from starting on the defensive line to starting at center. Played every snap at center and led us to victory. Thank you!
Tonight, we will have our first team meeting with the 2020 team. But first, I want to thank all the young men that came before this group, who didn’t get to experience this facility. I wish the 2015 & 2016 classes could have had this for just 1 day.

Everyone welcome our Strength & Conditioning coach to Twitter.
@josh_jirgal
has been too busy with this new weight room to mess with Twitter. Give him a follow.
Bowl game benefits:
-Everyone gets 3 more weeks of football
-3 more weeks together as a TEAM
-Redshirt guys get more X’s & O’s before spring football
-Seniors get 1 more opportunity to perform
-Playing football is more fun than the off-season
College freshmen, you are about to embark on one of your most challenging years of your life. New home, new surroundings, new friends, new routine and new challenges. Surround yourself with people that lift you up. Make it a year of growth. Surround yourself with winners.

Well, this is a new chapter. Now I’m recruiting the kids of my college teammates. What a tremendous honor & privilege to take in the son of a former teammate.
#ThankYou
I am a head football coach, and I want this... for all of our athletes. Weight room, training room and a indoor facility are 3 things every team benefits from.
Happy birthday to my brother from another mother, my college roommate & my best friend. Nobody pushed more, on and off the field, than Dee. This dude makes 40 look good.
Relive the excitement of the touchdown in overtime and the 2-point conversion to seal an undefeated spring for

. The Falcons finished the spring 5-0 in their fifth season and now won 6 straight overall!
This is huge for DII football, now we need to find some extra money for the 2021 season. Keep the seniors on scholarship and still be able to sign a freshman class. This helps the HS prospects get the scholarship opportunity they are hoping for.
#WINWIN
DII grants all fall athletes further season of competition relief, waives sports sponsorship requirements for 2020-21, and addresses team-equivalency limits:
Kids don’t get recruited because of the scheme they play in. They get recruited because their skill level and attributes fit a particular program.

To the players that go hard everyday, hit every rep, leave it all on the field, give their all in the classroom, hold themselves accountable to a higher standard and play the game with great passion, you're my guy.
#BeThatGuy
There are guys calling and texting me everyday about trying to get back to campus for summer workouts. Your time is coming. Keep working hard and when we report you’ll be prepared to be successful. Stay focused! Stay hungry!
Speaking at the Texas HS Coaches Convention was by far, one of the greatest honors of professional career. Thank you to Joe Martin, Glen West and the entire
@THSCAcoaches
association for the opportunity.
At the office this morning a freshman QB and 2 WR’s came by and asked me to unlock the field. I won’t be surprised to see those 3 in the mix to play as true freshmen. August 9 is right around the corner.

I can see the 9,000 sq/ft weight room, I can see the hydrotherapy area for the training room, I can see the exercise physiology lab. 2015 vision becoming reality. The first senior class is coming up as the walls will be going up. Time to

If you quit before you fail, that’s still failure.
BUT
If you fail, and keep trying, you will eventually become a winner.
Failure is inevitable. Learning is optional.
#Grit
Why do naturally talented people frequently fail to reach their potential while other far less gifted individuals go on to achieve amazing things? The secret to outstanding achievement is not talent, but a passionate persistence. In other words, grit.

Day 3 going strong. Taking care of NCAA compliance paperwork. Fired up to see what this team will accomplish this fall. Can’t wait to take the field dark & early Monday morning.

finishes the spring UNDEFEATED with an overtime victory! Brayden Thomas found Matt Zubiate on 4th down then finds Kobe Robinson for the 2-point conversion and the win!
They say the way to a mans heart his through his belly. In my attempt to CONNECT more with our team, I moved our office fridge to my office. They showed up in droves and I loved it.

Sometimes as a coach we impact the players, and sometimes they have a greater impact on us. This guy right here has had one of the greatest impacts on me as a coach. I am better, because of D’Ondre.

Today, we have a choice in how we will respond to events that unfolded around us yesterday. I believe our team, this university and the Permian Basin will be coffee beans. “The power inside of us is greater than the forces outside of us.” We will love, hug, laugh and cry.
Words aren’t coming easy. I don’t know where to begin or how to help. As a coach with many lifelong relationships I don’t want to see it happen to someone I love. That’s too late. I want to open the doors to positive communication of how myself & others can help?

Every new athlete with us has 6 hours/week of study hall. We meet weekly with each student-athlete to go over their upcoming academic assignments.
