Katie & I have been blessed once again!
Welcoming our beautiful little Margo Rose Watson to the 🌎.
Born 10/9/19 @ 5:21 pm.
7lbs 4oz & 20 inches long.
You are loved little one.
God is great!
Katie and I have been blessed with the arrival of a handsome, healthy baby boy.
Barrett William Watson arrived yesterday. 7lbs 1oz & 20 inches. My wife is an absolute trooper.
Here’s to a life of health & happiness, young man. We love you.
RECRUITS:
DMing a coach just a highlight link and nothing else is like applying for a job by just emailing someone with the company a partial resume with no subject or content. If you’re going to take the time to copy & paste the link you should copy & paste basic info as well.
Just spent 2 hours in front of the fire pit with my beautiful wife. No phones. Just some country tunes in the background.
Best Friday night in a long time.
I’m beyond fortunate.
Say it again!
“Alabama has their two starting corners running down on kickoff!”
It’s 1/3 of the game. Field position is CRUCIAL! Take pride in being on specials.
ATTN O Line Recruits:
Make sure your highlight film is DIVERSE! Your recruiting coach/OL coach at the school your interested in wants to see you do more than down block. Have a couple of your best clips of you doing a little bit of everything.
Gotta put force through the ground to put force through the defender. Have to keep maya dialed in on her everyday drills. Even this far into the season we start with Chutes & Boards.
I am spending this spring 🏈 season as an assistant with
@DePauwTigersFB
.
Class of ‘22 the DMs are open!
Would love to get you in the database & share some more info about the student athlete experience at one of the nation’s best liberal arts colleges.

An offer to be a member of the program. Not every D3 school allows just anyone to join the team. We offer an opportunity for young men to study at the nation’s number 1 undergrad engineering school while playing football.
The best support staff in the country! Nothing better than seeing these three babes after a victory. Can’t thank my wife enough for everything she does! Maya Jo is so cute in her cheer outfit. Margo Rose took in her first 🏈 game today.
One of our seniors said it best last week...
Life doesn’t OWE you anything. You have to be willing to work your tail off and EXPECT nothing. Keep your head down, work hard, & be grateful for what you do get.
Would give a whole hell of a lot to just be able to call my dad this weekend.
If you’re fortunate enough to still have that man in your life don’t hesitate to hug him and tell him you love him.
Man, I tell ya what. Our school has been allowing potential student athletes & their families visit campus. Each time I meet with a young man & his family it is SO HARD for me to not instinctively shake hands. I have to repeatedly say in my head “don’t shake hands, don’t shake.”
I have PLENTY to be thankful for, I am one fortunate guy! It all starts with these beautiful ladies.
Very thankful for my amazing wife Katie, our wild little Maya Jo, and our newest gem Margo Rose.
Happy Thanksgiving, from our family to yours. 🦃🍁🍽

I can respect hustle, but hearing an Area Scout from a low-tier recruiting service told one of our players “You need this. Your HS coaches don’t know anything about recruiting & likely don’t even know any college coaches,” makes me cringe. Absolutely egregious.
My years of experience putting decals on football helmets paid off tonight. Got to sticker up Maya Jo’s battery powered jeep! Cannot wait to watch her discover it in the garage tomorrow.
#MerryChristmas
My 4 year old tonight:
“Daddy when we lived in our old village you were never home for bedtime. Now that we are in our new village you are always home for bedtime & I love you.”
They realize & think about so much more than we assume.

After the last few months I’m sure there are coaches’ wives all across the country praying just as hard for football season as the coaches. Mine might be one of them... 🏈🏈🏈
It is a GREAT day to be a Fightin’ Engineer! So proud of this team & the victory.
Loved our week of preparation. The players focus this week was second to none. Love these guys.

I couldn’t be more proud of these guys. Another great year for

They always say O Lineman tend to out kick their coverage, and boy did I. Can’t thank this beautiful woman enough for all of her hard work & sacrifice for this family.
Got to step out for a nice little date night on our anniversary! The past 4 years has been a blast with this amazing woman. Excited to see where this crazy adventure takes us.

6 years ago today this beauty & myself went on our first date at
@UberbrewMT
! This is a photo of us celebrating the occasion 4 years ago. So many vivid memories from that day. Can’t thank this woman enough for everything she does for our family!
What a great Father’s Day it was yesterday. Got to take Maya fishing for the first time. Here’s a picture of her & her first ever catch! Maya Jo, Margo Rose, & their momma make me very proud to be a father.
Today marks 7 years of my beautiful mother being cancer FREE! She is the strongest woman I will ever know. Thank you for fighting, Mom! We love you! 💕🎀
I just can’t understand why coaches, especially at our level, rip recruits a new one when they commit to a different school.
Your school isn’t for everyone.
What kind of a man are you to lay into a 17-18 year old young man?
Do you think you’re going to flip their decision?!
A huge shout out & thank you to
@RoseHulmanFB
and
@CoachSokolRHIT
for helping us celebrate Maya Jo’s 2nd Birthday last week. This is what football is all about

Daydreaming of the fall. Sitting in the office on Saturday, hours before kickoff. Feeling of anticipation swirling in the gut. Listening to the voices of Reece, Herby, Des, Corso, & Maria while I double, triple, & quadruple look over the call sheet. 🏈🏈🏈
A very well-deserved award for Coach L! Not only a great coach, but one of the best human beings you'll ever meet. Extremely grateful to call this man a mentor and friend.
Leonard surprised by Hall of Fame honor
Took Maya Jo out to run around at Phil Brown Field this week. Almost forgot how amazing turf pellets smell in the sun. Of course Maya wanted to know what her time was when she finished this sprint.
@RoseHulmanFB
Question for my OCs out there.
Do you script your opening plays, and if so do you have a magic number? Would love to hear some feedback.
I have always liked scripting 8-12 openers and making sure we practice the script at least twice against looks and once on air.

overviews their Gap Scheme circuit, working kickout on a Big Bertha bag, gallop on the Crowther sled, and vertical double team & strain drill, which has a simple & effective setup by having a player behind the DL to create more strain.
The most challenging thing about the dance is finding your way there. So excited to watch these guys lay it all on the line one more time for a state title. Go 🐻!
If you’re coaching ball and your ego becomes more important than the well-being or future of your athletes, do everyone involved a favor and hang up the whistle.
Some people in this amazing profession for all the wrong reasons.
Just watched a young man's highlight film and immediately archived him in our system because of the way he handled himself after scoring TDs. Threw the ball down on the turf, ran off and celebrated by himself.
First & foremost today, I am EXTREMELY thankful for my amazing wife. Katie is loving, caring, kind, funny, and an amazing mother (she’s pretty hot too). The work she does during football season keeping the house in line & tending to Maya’s every need is remarkable.
#THANKFUL
An OL recruit tells me “Coach, the coach from school X said I won’t want to come here because all you do is throw the ball.”
That’s funny, our run:pass ratio was the EXACT same.
We averaged 1 yard/rush more.
We averaged 28 yards rushing/game more.
🤔🤔🤔
You wanna know what’s wrong with our country? Turn on the tube and watch just a few minutes of this debate. It’s absurd that we as the American people can’t even learn about policy because the egos of these politicians and the division between the two parties. Be better.
Being the wife of a football coach is no easy job. Wanting to wish a very Happy Birthday to my beautiful, kind, intelligent, hardworking wife Katie. Thanks for everything that you do babe. I’m glad you enjoyed your day!
I’ve been spending a lot of time away from Twitter lately, but I recently dove back in. Today I’m physically sick to my stomach. I don’t want to avoid things & be ignorant to what’s going on, but it’s tempting. Respect others for crying out loud. Please, help us Lord.
Nothing quite wraps up a Saturday visit like hearing “Coach, I’m coming to Franklin!” Music to our ears! Excited to offer the opportunity to earn a GREAT degree along with the experience of playing for a CHAMPIONSHIP program!

This is what we call “The Finisher.” It’s how our offense celebrates TDs. Ball carrier finishes through the EZ with the 🏈 HIGH & TIGHT, and enjoys it with his teammates. 10 on 1, 1 on 10. One of the many things that makes this program special.
#WeWork
Celebrating 5 years of marriage with this babe today! Can’t thank her enough for her patience & love. She challenges me daily to be a better person, husband, & father.
I love you, Katherine!
Congrats to SO WR

Seeing as we are attempting to navigate uncharted territory it’s important to remember everyone is in this together!
1️⃣ Treat others with respect
2️⃣ Find things to be grateful for
3️⃣ Control the Controllable
Gave grillin’ my own wings a go for the first time today. Pretty tasty lunch! Will definitely be doing it again.
Seasoned with salt, pepper, & garlic salt. Grilled. Spun in homemade buffalo sauce. Thrown back on the grill.
Hard to believe it was around this time 6 years ago that I took a huge leap of faith. Packed all my belongings and with the help of some amazing loved ones moved out west to Big Sky Country for my first full time job out of grad school. That move to MT was quite the springboard.
Proud of our Fightin’ Engineers on earning another win this weekend.
We are excited to get back to work for Game 9. Very grateful that these young men call me “Coach.”
#WeWork
Was reflecting on my coaching career today.
In 2017 I was fortunate to coach the OL at Franklin College, with
@CraigYeast
as our offensive coordinator.
We won a conference championship (conf. undefeated) & the led the country in a couple Offensive categories.
Shout out to the 🐗s for their performance today!
258 on the ground at 6.1 per rush for the Nation’s Top Passing Offense ain’t too shabby!

Also stands for Garbage In, Garbage Out.

Just wanted to take a moment to thank our Fightin' Engineers that took their off season training seriously this summer & reported to camp in great physical shape. A lot of guys crushed it this morning!

Thinking of the brave men & women of the Terre Haute Police Department. Heinous act. Praying for all of the THPD community & their families. Thank you for protecting the community so many call and have called home. God bless you.
Always fun, and never easy to win a football game. Proud of the guys bouncing back this week & getting it done on the road.

My heart hurts.
I hurt for those that have experienced hate in their lives solely due to the color of their skin, religious belief, or sexual preference.
I was raised to treat others with respect no matter their circumstance.
Happy Birthday to the most beautiful, selfless, hardworking, caring, intelligent, and patient woman that I know! Me and the girls cannot thank you enough for all that you do babe. I’d be lost without you.
