Yes, after school weight lifting is optional. So is playing time and so are the types of words coaches use with recruiters. We forever will build a culture of earning in this program. “If you don’t work, you don’t eat. If you don’t grind, you don’t shine.”

Five years ago to the day... I was insulted at my Alma mater as a visiting coach like I have never been done before. I don’t know if I have recovered to this day.

Jim Baxter isn’t allowed anywhere near my program. He isn’t allowed near my kids. He is a fraud and the way he spoke to that young man today should bury his career (if it wasn’t already buried for not paying people what they were owed for working for him)

College recruiters ask head coaches 3 questions:
1. Can he play for us?
2. How are his grades/test scores?
3. What kind of kid is he?
Film....grades...character... they don’t lie. These are what matter most to the people who are looking to invest in you!

Such a great moment to be a part of. Coach Hayes is one of the best men I know. He means so much to the whole community.
One of the coolest, sweetest & most heartwarming things to be a part of. Longtime Wando coach/AD Bob Hayes is battling cancer, hard. Today is his 60th birthday. What a surprise for him! Literally hundreds of cars- his friends, Wando community, rival coaches parade by his home.

Can’t describe the impact this man has had on my life in a tweet. I love Coach Hayes like a father.
Bob Hayes preferred not to be photographed at today's field dedication other than a few family photos
He took the first few sitting down. Then rose from his seat, moved his chair aside & stood proud with his chest out
I couldn't help but smile. Coach still has some fight in him

I really hope we get to have fans in the stands this year for our games. I will not have any clue that I need to “Stop running it up the middle” or that we need to “hit somebody.” The best coaching advice I get every week is from those stands. 🤡
