Itโs amazing that you never read about this on National Signing Day. Important to remember long term development and teaching win out in the end with talent as a baseline.
Congrats to both teams and all they have accomplished. Saw both teams on the field and didnโt get it done. Would love the opportunity to meet both again on a neutral field and officials. Canโt happen this year but

This man gave me an opportunity to walk on and join the Hawkeye Family. He gave me a scholarship, my first coaching job, and the coaching DNA for life. I love you Coach Fry.

Two different times and places that are alive in my mind. One of the last pics with my daughters and the other as I stand looking at an amazing mom who always put everyone else first. Those that knew her know what she was to my family and our community. Love you mom.
Gator Bowl could have replaced Texas A&M w/a 5-7 team based on APR, sources told

. Rutgers had 1st option, but declined. Other not expected to accept. โHow many 5-7 teams have been practicing or are still in school? None,โ source said
So I feel as though I have taken a new step in my life as a father. We went to mall, with her new shades on, for a picture with Santa ๐ thanks

From a HS visit with his coach Doug Gatewood to our journey at Arkansas. To the Seahawks on draft night & the move to Baltimore he touched so many lives. Iโm glad I got to know that smile & loving soul. Thank you for always loving my family & always being you! I love you AC

#ThankYou
to all the messages and social media tags for my birthday yesterday. Was the first time in 53 years that I didnโt get a hug, call or card from my mom and that was hard to handle. But I know she is watching me closer in this next year than ever before.
A year ago today I lost the greatest mom in the world to me for 52 years. I saw her happy so many times but to see her hold my girls is what fills my heart. She always woke us up as kids singing a song that I was able to sing this morning to wake my girls up. Love you mom.

I remember first competing against Mike in an Alamo Bowl in the early 2000s. Since then we have built a long friendship. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Mike and his family.
Had a great conversation today with
