The prime directive of Hudson Valley Community College football is to recruit 2nd chance student-athletes, get those student-athletes to perform at their maximum capacity and help those student-athletes to secure a scholarship at a 4 year institution.

Proud to announce that I have been named the new head football coach at .
@HVCCFootball
! I could not have gotten here without a ton of help. Most especially from .
@CoachTalto2
and my boys/knuckleheads at .
@TritonNation
and the young men I worked with at ECC. Thank you !
When you go off to college for football, you are bringing your city *314*, state, and the hopes/dreams of not only yourself but that 9th grader that will one day want to be you. Pave the road smooth for future use!
How does the DB coach end up recruiting two FBS defensive linemen? Even though I recruited one as a WR lol. Love watching these and my other knuckle heads win!
When recruiting, I listen to the HS coaches for two words, "And" or "but". AND he is coachable. AND he loves practice. AND he goes to class. Or BUT he smokes weed. BUT he isn't on time. BUT he is disrespectful to people. Are you a AND or a BUT guy?

Happy birthday shout to my son Donovan Jones! I have many nephews but only one son. The original "knuckle head" turns 12 today. Proud of you young fella!
A man has to stand for something. Killing black men for the "crime" of being black is 100% unacceptable. Men of my color are not target practice. We are not animals on a game preserve to be killed for sport. We clearly see the dissatisfaction when people do not have a voice.
As Co-DC/DB coach/pass game coordinator, our defense gave up only 1,928 (160.7 per game) through the air, surrendered just 10 passing TDs in 12 games and got 17 INTs (4 or 5 went back to the house) with a team defensive pass efficiency rating of 94.57. Not bad boys .

During the season
@TritonNation
had a little meeting and it was explained that if you put the team first, everyone would benefit. As I look at these offers, they come from team ball, playing together, loving one another and fighting for one another.
If you coaches are holding it against a kid who stayed loyal to a program, even without a season to play, against him because he doesn’t have film? You need to reevaluate yourself.
Thank you to everyone who expressed their condolences for the passing of my father. My sister did an amazing job with the organization of the funeral. Dad was a good man and that was confirmed today. Well done dad!

@HVCCFootball
does plan to play ball in the spring. Our school is doing everything to make it happen! If you are looking for a mid year home, YOU have to do YOUR part and sign up for our 10 week programs! Starts Oct 13th. Take part in your own rescue!
When a HS coach calls my phone or texts me and says Coach, "this young man is of good character. He works hard, goes to class, does right on and off the field. Maybe made some mistakes in 9th grade but is figuring it out." That is what I am looking for.
Here is the final version of the ring. As we know, these things have a monetary cost. The REAL cost is blood, sweat, tears, teamwork, commitment, love and belief in those you are or have worked/played with. Always remember the real cost! .

Coming to .
@HVCCFootball
is a sound investment! In two years as an out of state player, you will spend $9,600 on your education. Get your core work done, play good ball and move on. That is better than spending 60k per year at other places!
Kids tend to ask me if they should run track or lift in preparation for college football. I will answer here. If you love track, run. If you love to lift, do so and run with your workout. What you need to do is enjoy your senior year with your buddies.
Hearing from kids way too many coaches holding a kid not having film against them. Not sure if you coaches have noticed but there is a pandemic going. Holding this against kids is very selfish and shameful on the part of the coaches.
The 7 on 7 debate is heating up. I will say this. When you can catch and defend and there are no pads? That is one thing. Catching and defending when it’s real? When the lights and pads are on? That is a whole different deal.
