Just heard this from PJ Fleck: “A Golf ball was originally made smooth, golfers would hit it & put dents in it & they discovered the more dents in it the farther the ball would go. Dents in your life can help you go farther. Failure is growth! Don’t be afraid to fail!”
Great staff visit to
@OU_Football
yesterday for their clinic. The energy and passion of Coach Venables & his entire staff is just different! OU is in great hands! I was fired up leaving yesterday!
Lessons I have learned: Do u love football? It’s easy to love Friday Night Lights! But do u love Saturday recoveries, Monday scouting reports, & Tuesday- Thursday practice? Do u love the weight room? There’s a big difference between love & like & both r ok! Just know who u are!
Not meaning to offended anyone but too many guys always have the answers. I have been 13-1 and I have been 2-8. What I have learned is I am way more intent on relationships & building than I am on other things. I am a constant learner but I also know if I have then pen last i win
So proud of our players, our staff and the support of our families! Great team win by our entire program past and present! Hats of to Norman North tonight! Trust the process!
Proud to welcome
@coachbrettjones
to our staff for next year! Coach Jones is a phenomenal husband, dad, coach and leader. He will make our program better. He will be great for our student athletes! The T-Wolves just got better!

Great day visiting Texas Tech with our staff and watching "The Brand" work! Thank you
@JoeyMcGuireTTU
@Coach_Martin34
and the rest of the staff for the hospitality! Looking forward to the next two days!
Saw this and believe it to be true:
“Your body language is a billboard for your mental toughness and maturity.”
Don’t blame being passionate as an excuse for poor body language and actions!

Heard this at Baylor Clinic this am:
“We were not put on this planet to lay on a couch and trudge through life. We were put on this earth to maximize our time and abilities. How do we treat people? How do we utilize our gifts?” - Jeff Stoutland, Philadelphia Eagles OL Coach
Heard this quote at Church tonight. Hit me hard.
“Sometimes you don’t know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.”
—Dr. Seuss
Brought back all the memories and moments I have had as a husband, dad and coach!
Our ceremony for
@owen_condon
who is signing with
@UGAAthletics
tomorrow, will be at 11:40am in the gym. Everyone is welcome! Come out and support Owen as he officially becomes a Bulldog!
Tough,tough, day in our program today! Please pray for our players, coaches, and families. God has a plan and a will! Coach Rich we love you and may you Rest In Peace!
Obviously losing hurts! But I’m so proud of our football team & what they were able to accomplish this year! While our program isn’t on top of the mountain tonight, we aren’t far from it! Trust me we will get there, and when we do the guys of the past will be there with us!
Saw this just now and absolutely love it! so true for athletics! Remember: Head up, chin up! Keep the faith and keep running the race! God always has a plan!
I am so thankful for the players and staff who give all they have to what we do. We had a great run this year. Thank you to our seniors who left it better than they found it. I am blessed to have the opportunity to lead these men. 9 wins & COAC Champions & a bright future ahead!
So proud of these dudes! Came in as the 11 seed and fought themselves all the way back to the finals. So incredibly proud of our growth and grit!

Football is the ultimate team game. Teams that play together, put in the work, & take ownership for the things they can control (practice & preparation) usually find success. This holds true at every level of football regardless of class or division; high school, college, & pro.
It's sad that someone was given a platform to spew ignorant thoughts & words. I am shocked and saddened for everyone involved!
The athletes, coaches & community of Norman deserve better! Our entire state deserves better!
We all have to be better!
So incredibly proud of our football program. Our players and our staff stuck together and trusted the process! We played team football tonight and it paid off!

1 thing I have learned is there is more than 1 way to do things. There are smart coaches but not gurus (Gurus R self promoters & forget their kids make the plays) I will also tell you that scheme is only a small part 2 winning! Culture & operation are so much more important!
The end is never easy! The pain will lessen & the memories will grow! I am so proud of our team for the way they stayed together & played together this year. What a bunch of warriors! They were BUILT for this! Thank you to our players & staff! I love you all!
#AmatVictoriaCuram
Tough loss! But so proud of our guys! We are going to keep climbing the mountain TOGETHER! Noise will come, our investment N each other will allow us 2 keep climbing, even amongst storms! WE will stay true 2 US, and just keep swinging! WE are all WE got, but WE are all we need!

Hats off and congrats to the the Carl Albert Titans! Their program is great, but the team they put on the field last was so impressive with so much skill! Congrats to Coach Corley on his 1st state title! Irish: our time is coming very soon!
Exhausting day! Proud of our association and the work they put in to help make the game of HS football great for everyone in Oklahoma. Proud to represent our coaches and schools. Lots of work ahead in the coming weeks, but hard is good!
@OFBCA
We have some of the best coaches in our state. So proud of our staff. Excited to see how our offense grows. Proud to announce these staff promotions. Congrats fellas!
Football season is so busy because as coaches we have a drive to turn over every stone we can for our players to be successful! I love what I do. I also cherish little moments during the season when I get to take the kids to breakfast & school! To these two I am dad not coach!
Some of our guys and their Sunday night Bible study group, went out today and posted flags for some of our fallen veterans! This is what it's about! Thank you men!

What a great season by our young men. We did not finish the way we wanted, but that won't define who we are. These young men grew in so many ways. Adversity is just an obstacle in your way. Never quit, & you always will find a way on the field & forever in life!

Saw this quote as I was filing away Clinic notes. This has always resonated with me through my coaching career:
“Am I building people, or building my dream and using people to do it?”
Thankful I found my why! This is what it is really about in my humble opinion!
Proud of our guys tonight! It felt so good to be back out there! These guys and our staff have worked so hard. These boys have endured so much and started our season off right tonight! Now the focus shifts to next week!
#wiNNow
Awesome to have the ability to have 80 guys and 11 coaches in the weight room all at once getting work done! We have one of the best facilities around!

BE COMMITTED TO HAVING CLASS – Treat teachers, trainers, support staff, and all you meet w/ respect. Treat other people the way you want to be treated. Remember to smile, to say please, thank you, yes sir, yes ma’am, & give people the benefit of the doubt.

Full staff dinner tonight at clinic! We have our staff, and both our middle school coaches with us! Vertical Alignment, relationships and football! Love my job!

Back to work this morning to find a way to continue to improve! No complaints, no excuses, no poor me. When you want something bad enough you will fight your tail off to find a way! We must remain steadfast in our purpose & unwavering in our quest. Keep the faith, in you & in us!
Heartbreaking 2 tell our guys that our game was called off. Our district made a difficult decision in an effort to protect participants
We will pivot our focus to Edmond Memorial.
Hang in there! Proud of our guys! Best wishes to High & their athletes/coaches in their recovery!
Asking for prayers for someone close to our program. I don’t want to give out any details just ask that those of you who pray, please pray for continued strength, grace, and peace for this family as they face this adversity!

2019 Fall camp is here! Let’s get it!!
My heart goes out to the class of 2020 students who will miss their spring seasons, state competitions & other activities. Though heart breaking it is the right decision! Remember that this does not define any of you, your dreams can still be as big as you want them to be!
Heard someone from a neighboring state say this today:
"Commitment to great facilities benefits EVERYONE in the community"
Vote Yes on 2/14/23!!
Our community deserves the very best for our kids & for our future!
We either grow or get left behind!
So proud of our guys! We are so fortunate to be able to practice on Thanksgiving again! Our dudes know how to fight! We found a away to scale that wall! The next one gets even bigger!
