#WildDogs
2022 CC Champs/2023 Landmark Champs 🏆🏆
The Wild Dogs ate well in the '23 Hunting season. Being 1 of 4 defenses to finish in the Top 15 nationally in:
Total D (231.5 YPG)
Scoring D (13.64 PPG)
1st Downs Allowed (143 total - 13 PG)
Opponent 3rd Down % (28.36%)
Forever Runners & Strikers w/ bad intentions.
I am not black, but I see you.
I am not black, but I hear you.
I am not black, but I mourn with you.
I am not black, but I see the injustice that you face daily.
I am not black, but I see your fear for your sons and even your daughters.
I am not black, but I do stand with you.
🚨Attention HS Recruits 🚨
If you think you’re too good to play D3 Football I’d urge you to turn on ESPNU or go on ESPN+ at 7pm & watch the
@d3football
National Championship. You’ll see a bunch of ballers & playmakers competing to take home the 🏆!
I’ll certainly be tuned in!
ATTENTION RECRUITS- If a coach gets mad at you for wanting to take other college visits after you visit them they are a selfish individual who is in the wrong profession. This process is about YOU finding the right fit for YOUR future. Not about anything else. Don’t forget that.
Attention college coaches: If you recruit north jersey and don’t go to a local deli and get a chicken cutlet sandwich w/fresh mozzarella and roasted peppers with balsamic then you deserve to never get a commit from north jersey.

It’s been a few hours since the game ended & I’m still in shock this season is over. This team was one of the most gritty groups I’ve ever been around. Our guys battled & they earned everything. Thank you to the seniors & 5th years, you left the program better than you found it.
As I have time to relax on our bye week I’d be remiss if I didn’t shout out my Defensive staff. A week ago today I had the greatest Museum Moment of my life to date. I had my first child, a baby girl.

🚨 🚨 To all the coaches out there... during this pandemic are you working at your craft because want to be more successful as a coach? This clip right here is the first thing every last one of us should be watching. This is the key to being successful as a coach in any sport.

Man chill bro! Let it ride. Your career doesn’t have a time limit, theirs do. You trying to have these guys in college miss out on the end of their careers and memories that you were able to have? They already banned all non essential personnel from games, let’s rock from there.
In less than 2 weeks a special group of men will start competing in this stadium to accomplish something bigger than any one of them. Can’t wait!! Side note- show me a better venue with this kind of scenery! Who wouldn’t want to play here?! 🐺🐺😍

‼️RECRUITS‼️-When it comes to committing to a school please do your homework! Don’t let coaches squeeze you to commit on pretend deadlines. If they want you bad enough they’ll let you take your other visits & let you make the best decision FOR YOU. Isn’t that what it’s about?
As the 1st week of our staff recruiting is coming to an end I reflect on the season we had. It’s truly amazing that we were able to win one of the best conferences in the country without “offering” a single guy on our roster. 🤯🫢If we’re talking to you, we’re interested. Period.
Imagine playing for a high school state championship contender & saying “winning is important” but then being more interested in below .500 D2 programs than great schools that are consistently Top 20 programs in D3 football. I guess winning isn’t as important as level to some.
Got a lot of rent free space in some opponents heads & I’m not even playing the game. Go ahead and talk that talk pregame about last year. Talk that talk going in at it halftime about me posting on Twitter. But I heard no words towards me in that post game line. 🤐🤐

In case anyone forgot where the playmakers, ball hawks, and hitters play defense..here’s a reminder. A scheme that features guys that can run & strike! A Culture that breeds relentless effort & violence. Who are the next

A few days ago a DB recruit visited & after we finished talking about the scheme & culture on D I asked if he or his dad had any questions... the dad looked at his son & said “After seeing that presentation why would a playmaker want to play anywhere else?” Great question dad. 🤷🏼♂️
This group is so much fun to coach every day. The love for each other is apparent w/ the level of juice they play w/ every snap. If one dog in the pack is eatin’ that means the whole pack EATS!

Recruits, I figured that I would drop some knowledge on how a highlight tape should be constructed. Fellow College coaches, feel free to add to this Do’s or Dont’s of highlight tape etiquette in the comments. Probably should’ve done this earlier but hope it helps the 24’s.
I have tip my cap to
@DigInMules
on a great season and a very hard fought game on the road. Not the result they wanted but they battled! We are certainly hard fought rivals during the season but at the end of the day you represented the
@CentennialConf
in the post season well.
Imagine being a guy who will have more yards in 3 seasons than his critic had in 7 & will finish with less career fumbles than his critic had in a single year and this is how you respond. The guy is a generational talent & he’s an even better role model for players off the field.
As I enter another recruiting cycle, I reflect on the relationships that I've built in my years as a coach. Bonds that are forged in blood & tears. Being there for guys in hard times as well as the great times. No accolades in this game will ever compare to moments like these.
Videos like this should remind us all in this game that a lot of young people look up to us regardless of how famous or important we don’t believe we are. We have a responsibility to be great role models in our communities. Happy birthday Trey man. You’re a beast.
Great coach- better man. This guy does everything in his power to give our players an unforgettable college experience. He always says we want to make these 4 years of football the best memory of your college career. He’s certainly holding up his end on the bargain with that.
Lets keep it going!! The determination and grit, down 17 on the road with 12 minutes left in the game. Our men dug deep and found a way to win. Saying I love coaching these guys is an understatement.

There are not words to describe how much our staff and I love coaching this team! The physical and mental toughness is amazing! Way to burn the boats boys! 1 day at a time!
@SURiverHawksFB
In my career I’ve had guys not make pregame meetings, I’ve had guys oversleep in camp, I’ve had guys tell me they didn’t know what time a mandatory team function started. Guys constantly “didn’t get the text”. But I know one thing..EVERYONE responds when you ask about numbers!
Clip of the year! Love my dogs. Hopkins is an elite team and they threw some big punches. At the end of the day our guys kept countering and in the biggest moments didn’t flinch! Culture over everything! 🐺🐺🐺

#EarsTucked
I’m regularly recognizing how grateful I am for the things in my life. In the spirit of the holiday I am reflecting more than normal. Extremely thankful for the program I’m a part of, the players I get to lead, and the people in my life that support me. Happy Thanksgiving! 🐺X🦃
I talked to a few young grads recently who are conflicted on what they’re doing with their life/future-my response was that you can find a job, you can find a career, or you can find your calling. My calling is to coach, inspire, & develop young people. Don’t ignore your calling.
Today is a bittersweet day for me. A year ago I lost my mentor & friend. It hurts bc I’ll never get to see his contagious personality light up a room or get to talk ball with him again. Yet it also reminds me how lucky I am for the time I did get to spend around him.
#DukeDisciple
At this point I’m not sure guys actually know what PWO stands for the way they post about them. Every program needs a scout team, yet they’re selling you on being the 1 in 1,000 guy that “earns money”. Go have a great experience somewhere that you’ll make an impact! Stop chasing.
I’m not sure who needs to hear this but showing up for things & giving elite effort aren’t things to be commended. They are both non negotiables if you truly want to be great. The ppl who don’t show up or just go through the motions shouldn’t be the ones you compare yourself to.
In honor of leaving the
@WeAreAFCA
convention in Charlotte I had to post one of my favorite videos by a 🐐 college football LB. You wonder why he was so good, right here is why. This gets me juiced up. You wanna play LB at a high level? Pre-snap is where you gain the edge!
There are good defenses & then there’s this. What do you want to be a part of? As the great philosopher
@S_C_

Honored to be invited to speak at the

Thinking about all the great things our guys accomplished in 2017- .The scary part is, that's just the appetizer. Wouldn't want to coach another group, I love these guys! Can't wait for what's to come in 2018!

Recently I’ve been seeing guys praised for their success & how well they’ve done as HC’s. I know a lot of guys have done awesome jobs-but some are handed the keys to a Porsche.
The man
@SUCoachPerk
built this.
4 years before him: 15-25
Last 4 years: 39-5 w/ 2 Conf. Titles 🏆
I tell our men on Defense that their relationship w/ the rest of the guys on the unit is measured by the distance between them & the football when the play is over.
That being said, if you’ve ever seen us play defense (in person/on tape) it is obvious our guys love each other.
Big time players make big time plays in big time moments.
PS.
What a shot by the best video guy in the game
@brendanalvino

P.S.S.
That looks like a TD to me.
Good. That’s all I’m saying in my mind. Good.
285 Days until game day. Recalibrate and get ready to attack. Who’s with me?🐺🐺🐺

Too many people listening to negativity. The worst part about it is that negative people are the heavy minority but they tend to be the loudest. People who are happy, fulfilled, & positive need to get louder. So many things to be thankful and grateful for! We need to spread it.
Just had over an hour long phone call with one of my current players who is virtual this semester & maybe 30 seconds of it had something to do w/football. I’m so grateful that I have the privilege to help guide and inspire such exceptional young people. Coach life not football.
We really need to have a serious conversation around the definition of “SUCCESS” in this country. For so long it has been tied to how much $$ is in your bank account. Success should be about happiness & fulfillment. Do you wake up happy and go to sleep fulfilled? That is success.
Check out what our Defensive culture here at Susquehanna is all about. Who wouldn’t want to be a part of this? But the real question isn’t if you WANT to be a Wild Dog...the question is-Is it in your DNA? 🐺🐺🎒🔥🎥

People can take it however they want but I guarantee we don’t give up a single point defensively today. You heard that right..SHUTOUT! I’ll take it a step further..no one in all of

I know this is the same debate every single year on this night about who should be in the tourney. All I know is, if you lose 2 games you shouldn’t think an at large is likely. I also know that whoever has to play the 2 teams from the

better come to play.
Stagg Field being snow covered is giving me flashbacks of the hard fought 2018 bowl win over Stevenson where the Susky defense gave up 0 points, 83 total yards, and registered 4 sacks to hoist the hardware. Culture Never Graduates! Who is next? 🐺🐺❄️

At the
@d3football
national championship…I watch a bang bang play where the QB goes to protect himself and a Defensive player is just playing football. That young man doesn’t get to play anymore. Ridiculous. Need rule reform. How is this what the student athlete experience is?
Great season for

comes to an end but I loved how they represented the Orange & Maroon every night with relentless energy & grit. So much fun to watch! This is just the beginning, next year they’ll come back even stronger, believe that!

I guess tweeting “Blessed to receive some athletic money that might cover my books, from a school that has bad facilities & never wins.” doesn’t have the same ring to it. Commit somewhere for the wrong reasons and we’ll be talking this time next year. Don’t fall for the trap.
Different type of beast. Turn on the game tape. See how many snaps he’s on an island in the pass game. See how often he gets blocked in the run game. No one in the country has put on tape what he has at the Corner position. 🐺🚫🛩🏝

I can’t thank this man enough for being my right hand man the last 4 years. The best DB coach I’ve been around, & an even better man. Our relationship extends well beyond the walls @ Susquehanna. Excited for him & his fam back in Happy Valley. I’ll miss working w/ a great friend.
Still gets me when I see teams at our level “offering” guys. What did they offer you? I’ve seen 45 other guys at your position receive that same “offer”. I know I’m just a ball coach & not a math magician but the numbers aren’t adding up. If we want you, we talk to you. Simple.
You want to wear a single digit for

The physical, mental, & emotional health/growth of my student athletes will ALWAYS be my priority. During this unprecedented time w/ an obvious risk to their physical health, the protections we put in place must support their mental & emotional well-being as well, not neglect it.

@Susquehanna_MBB
only knows one way to play at that is w/ energy & fire. Never backing down & even when the ball isn’t falling they never waver on the defensive end! Love watching this team play. Do or die every time you step on the floor now, gotta love it!

Being around my players I sit back & realize how lucky I am. Not only do I get to do what I love every single day but the young men I get to coach and mentor are the reason I do it. So much passion, drive, and competitiveness. Wouldn’t trade it for anything.

The view today as we went to take the field for Monday walk through. Gotta love coaching football in The ‘Grove. The treasure at the end of the rainbow was more hard work. New week, new opponent. Let’s rock. ☘️🌈🌈

@NCAA
rules committee needs to figure out how to differentiate these plays. Taking limited playing opportunities from guys for playing fast and physical needs to change.
Every day I find another reason to love the program I’m associated with! Specially the guys that I get to coach. On & off the field they are driven/motivated individuals. Can’t tell ya how grateful I am to be their DC. No other unit in the nation I rather lead.
#ItsACultureThing
No practice today but it doesn’t mean I wasn’t coaching. Taught a player how to tie a tie in the office.
Tomorrow’s session will be how to tie a full Windsor and a Trinity knot.
Teach multiple schemes so your opponent never knows what’s coming.
New faces, same culture. Just a bunch of dogs ready to compete against whoever steps on the floor against

Just got off an awesome call with a dynamic playmaker and his family from South Jersey! Exactly the type of player we want in our program but more importantly the young man has the type of character we want in our culture!!!

Unbelievable season capped off with All Region & All American honors for
