Coaches: please join me in praying for Andy Luberda. Andy is in the hospital fighting against Covid. He has covered HS Sports in AZ for years and has often shined a light on players from rural programs that typically get less attention. Above that, he is a good man.Keep fighting!.

Maybe I’m old school on this, but in the off-season I want my players Strength training and COMPETING in winter/spring sports. Find your role within another team, learn a new skill, face down adversity. Step outside your comfort zone!.

Could not be happier for a coach than I am for @CoachHughFreeze! After I had been fired from my first HC job Coach Freeze gave me invaluable advice I still follow today. He’s a great man, coach, and leader. #Libertyfan.

This kid @KeonaPeat used to say he was a RB every day at practice his senior year. We never let him carry the ball. Thanks a lot @KennyDillingham…. 😂.

I have been talked into coaching a 3rd-4th grade flag football team this winter. Currently recruiting all position groups! Don’t have much scholarship money but we do provide every player with Orange slices at halftime and our post game snacks are the best in the conference!.

As a HS coaches association can we get together and let the AIA know that the damn knee pads do not need to be covering the knee completely to play a football game. 🤬watching the CIF SS championship game and not one player has knee pads covering. Did the game stop? Of course not.

Biggest win in AZ tonight! CG Cougars beat #1 CDO 19-17. The game ended on a blocked field goal. Our players never quit and played hard all throughout! I could not be more proud of this team!.

Embarrassing for AZ. think about who you are really hurting. Come together to fight for AZ Juco Football. Get on the phone and let your voice be heard. In my opinion, it all starts with getting back the funding our community colleges need.
Multiple sources confirm MCCCD will eliminate football after the 2018 season. Phoenix, Mesa, Scottsdale and Glendale Community Colleges will honor all scholarships through 2019, but this upcoming season will be the last that those schools have football programs.

A tough way to end the season, but very proud of our Aztecs. The foundation has been laid and the future is bright. Now time to find homes for our class of 2023!.

Something I’ll never understand…kids taking a PWO to a school when other schools are putting in the time to build a relationship with you and are willing to offer you a full scholarship. Don’t under estimate the value of being on scholarship!.

My rant: we have one of the best QBs in AZ. Fact. I have had 45 min+ phone calls with Texas, Rice, Tennessee, Stanford, etc about @angelf17_ where are the AZ schools??? Don’t miss out on another kid right in your backyard.

There is nothing better than high school football. Tonight was a perfect example of that.

Everytime you make a sacrifice (get up early for a work out, skip time with friends to study for a test, stay late for practice, etc) you are actually making a deposit into your future! When the time comes, what will your investment look like? #investinyourfuture #mindset.

If I’m your coach, I’m going to bust my ass to help you achieve your goals and be part of something great. That’s remained constant throughout my career. Regardless of the outside noise. That’s who I am.

Some recruiting advice for HS players: it’s not about where you SIGN it’s about where you PLAY. Putting on the hat for signing day is cool, but make sure it’s the RIGHT FIT FOR YOU! You’re making a commitment to a university for 4-5 years of your life. Go where you’ll be happy!.

If @ArizonaFBall doesn’t offer @angelf17_ after we throw there on 6/25 they are out of their minds. This kid is having a HUGE summer. Next stop Houston tomorrow. Tremendous leader, 4.2 GPA, and P5 dual threat ability.

Lou Perrone has been the recruiting coordinator on my staff for the past 7 seasons at 2 different programs. I didn’t know these numbers until tonight. But during that time we have sent 79 players to play college football on scholarship. Totaling over $14 million. @CoachPerrone
