Resilient!!! Offense puts together a clutch drive that leads to a big time 44 yard FG. Defense comes up with a 4th and Goal stop on the 1 yard line. Victory formation has NEVER looked so good. Proud of these guys!!.

30 for 30 on Micheal Jordan coming in 2019. Not sure that 10 hours will be enough. Finally these kids will see that his mental make up, rather than his talent made him the best ever. He cared more about the next personal challenge than what his perceived legacy was.

Not pretty but we’ll take it. Guys played hard today. Happy for them.
FINAL: @mosofootball gets the win over @snuathletics 21-20 today. The Lions stop a two-point conversion to hold on for the win. Rushing TD's for Josh Mercer and Taylor Thomas and the game-winning TD from Jaylon Banks to Jaedon Stoshak. Win No.1 for Head Coach Atiba Bradley.

Seniors showed up today… Picks, TFL’s, Defensive TD’s and a whole lot of grime… We’re at our best when we’re at our grimiest… First time we’ve hit the 5 win mark since 2013. First win against a ranked team since 2013. Heck of a way to go out. Love you guys.

Recently I followed my heart and took a job at my Alma Mater. I didn’t get the chance to thank the players and coaches that made the last 3 years the most enjoyable of my career. This opportunity wouldn’t be possible without you. Love you guys. Thank you so much. Go get a ring.

Got mistaken for being a McKendree Football PLAYER instead of a McKendree Football Coach. Still. Got. It.

Could not be happier for someone. Due to injury, he switched positions halfway through the season, and we wore the tread off of him this year. Literally gave the program everything he had left in his tank down the final stretch of the season. Well done and well deserved!
Congratulations to @McKFootball senior linebacker Austin Weltha, who has been named the 2017 @GLVCsports Defensive Player of the Year! Austin is the third Bearcat in the last four years to receive the honor (Lucky Baar in 2014 and A.J. Wentland in 2016). #BearcatsUnleashed

There be no quit here. Improvements will be made. Failure to do that is not an option. Time to burn the ships.

6 years ago today I was reminded of how much my family means to me. We were lucky but others weren't. Don't take your loved ones for granted

Debating on what’s better… My wife’s cinnamon rolls, or her homemade runza’s… The chili is an interesting addition to the cinnamon roll that I hadn’t tried yet.

A defense that roasts hot dogs together gets turnovers together. Google it!!!

Got a lot to be thankful for, but i gotta admit that I’m pretty jealous of all my coaching buddies that ate thanksgiving dinner with their position groups because they were getting ready for a playoff game today.

Ate some of @CoachRahl’s magic TD beans even though he said not to. Got our 6th defensive TD today. I’m gonna steal some more this week. W!.

Would not have decided to go into this profession had it not been for the defensive coaches that I played for in college. When Wash showed up everything changed for me. Go Jags!! .

Not the way we wanted to go out but we went out fighting our ass’s off till the final seconds ticked off the clock. Thank you seniors for everything. Returning Bearcats, the off season started when the clock hit 00:00.

Day started with tough news but I knew we’d get some extra help up there. Like so many times before the boys made the day ok. On to the next

Officially time to start practicing this spring. @Coach_CMeyers, @CoachFraney and myself are trying to talk ourselves into the idea that under center RPO could be the next big thing. Even walking through the QB footwork haha. #sticktodefensejoe.

Decided to take a nice easy walk on the cross country course. I’m sure you don’t have to do the whole trail….1. There are lots of hills. 2. Just looked to my right and the baseball field looks like it’s a mile away.

Ok, Trade deadline deals and sell offs happen. I’ll still check in on the Cubs every day. I’ve been programmed to do that for the last 38 years�� BUT, did Lester really need to end up a Cardinal? Who in the baseball universe thought that would be funny? Cmon.

At 37 years old I should understand that my favorite football franchise will usually anger me on prime time television. I’m not sure why I’ve yet to figure that out.

I’ve been saying this for awhile. If you’re going to kick a kid out of the game for targeting then the QB coach should also be ejected for teaching his kid to throw that ball in that location.
