Brian Dawkins on playing for his teammates:
“I had a healthy fear of letting you down, that’s why I went so hard.”
This is what it’s all about. The teams that embrace this mentality accomplish the most. Don’t let your teammates down. It’s bigger than the individual.

Proud dad moment yesterday as Matthew was able to get in the game for 12 plays. While the result wasn’t great for Miami, words cannot express how proud I was.
Our daughter, Emma, is graduating tomorrow from Iowa State University. Here’s what’s notable about it: she did it in three years while earning Summa Cum Laude distinction. Here’s a few of her graduation pictures.

Patrick had a pretty cool opportunity today. It’s not every day that an 11-year old plays catch with the best QB in the country. Thanks to
@CJ7STROUD
for making Patrick’s day! We appreciate it.

22 years, 5 kids, too many moves to keep track of, and all kinds of great memories... but you really know you have a keeper as a wife when she helps you paint the coaches’ office on your anniversary.
Happy Anniversary Amanda, I love you!

My thoughts on Clemson’s visit to the White House:
I was a part of YSU’s 1994 staff that had a chance to visit
@BillClinton
We did not get fed, and no one cared. It was an honor to be recognized by him.
Side note: I’ve never met a football player that doesn’t like fast food.
Had a chance to be at OSU football meetings/practice today (1st time since Ryan Day was named HC). My takeaways:
1-The culture is different. Rapport between coaches and players is special.
2-There is a huge amount of TEACHING taking place.

I wish nothing but the best for
@CJ7STROUD
He won me over when he played catch with Patrick after practice last spring. He had a million other things he could’ve been doing, but wasn’t too busy for this. I hope he crushes it at the next level. Patrick’s smile says it all.
I may be biased, but he’s a better football player than baseball player (and he’s a REALLY good baseball player)
@UCF_Football
really should take a look. He would’ve had power-5 offers, but committed to baseball early in the process.
Freshman OF
@BradyShannon15
was also a 3⭐️ QB (247) with offers from Akron, Kent St & Youngstown St.
As a HS Senior he had 2,829 yards passing & 29 TDs. He added 832 yards on the ground & 8 more TDs.
Congratulations to Lonnie Richardson-Parr

@CantonMcKinley
One of a kind. Such a great influence to so many players over the years. The best model for doing things the right way.
He also was huge in my development as a young coach. Thank you coach for everything you’ve done for Youngstown. You will be missed.
Congratulations to Matthew Reardon who was named First Team All-Ohio as a wide receiver by the Ohio Prep Sportswriters Association today.

I was disappointed that I wouldn’t be home for the 4th, but we had a chance to go to Berlin. I appreciate the holiday a lot more than I ever did at home. I saw the place where Jesse Owens gave a middle finger to Hitler, Checkpoint Charlie and a concentration camp. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
