This bowl and playoff season, I’m reminded of this quote: “There are two things every man in America thinks he can do: work a grill and coach football.”.

I’m just a 36 year old white dude who’s lived a privileged life. I don’t know what I can do, but I too am frustrated. I’m not here with answers. But I am here with empathy & support. “The Lord works righteousness and justice for all who are oppressed.”.Psalm 103:6.

How do you lead all SoCon RBs in rushing yards per game vs. conf opponents as a sophomore? Strong legs help. @raydevezin with a cool 440 lbs on the bar for a set of 2 on front squat. 💪 #GBz

I’m so thankful to @bobby_lamb. He gave me a chance as a player a long time ago, then hired me in 2012 to coach the RBs at Mercer. I’ve learned so much from him as a coach, but also as a man. He has an amazing love for his players and staff. He’s truly one of a kind!.

For those that don’t follow the NBA but have been watching the Finals…Monty Williams is the current head coach of the Phoenix Suns. This video was 5 years ago after his wife was killed by a drunk driver. Here he shows God’s love, mercy, grace…and the peace we can have thru Him!.
WATCH: Powerful eulogy on love and forgiveness from @okcthunder coach Monty Williams at his wife's funeral.

Last year we signed 11 players with at least 1 FBS offer. We signed others who fit us better than a lot of guys who signed with FBS teams. We also passed on a lot of guys who ended up signing with FBS schools. Don’t buy into what D-1 level it is. Pick the best fit!

From first birthday we celebrated together (while dating in college) to this birthday…she’s still beautiful. But she’s also a great mom, loving wife, Christ follower, and my best friend. Happy birthday Jenny! Couldn’t ask for a better wife to go through life’s adventures with!

God is good! This period of transition between coaching jobs has blessed me with free time I normally wouldn’t have. Today was a blessing! My dad & I got to take my oldest daughter to the Arnold Palmer Invitational in Orlando. She loved it! Even got Rory to wave at her!

If signing day is the peak of your college career, I feel bad for you. It should only be the beginning! Hard work, grit, team work, and discipline should follow. Don’t be just a Signing Day celebrity. Be an elite college student-athlete. Be great.
