Last night we won the state championship. It was the last time I will ever coach my son. God blessed us with so many great memories. Thank you football for giving us something to share together. Thank you Lord for blessing me with such a great son. I will cherish this forever.
Last night we won the championship. It is the first title for me as a coach. It is an amazing feeling. But one of the things that I did not prepare for was how full of joy I was to see all the men who have gone through our program there supporting us. I love all you guys.
We have had so many cool experiences this year. Celebrating those over the past week has been real fun. Tonight we were honored at Visalia City Hall. Such an awesome moment for our guys!
I want to thank
@CoachVass
and
@GlazierClinics
for having me present at the Caronapalooza Clinic today. It was fun to present and learn from so many great coaches. And a special shout out to
@AtavusFootball
for being the inspiration for my presentation.

is unreal
Super excited to watch Tyler at the next level. Proven champion. Dordt is a great fit with what they are building. He has been a winner and great team mate every step of the way and will keep that going in Iowa. I am really proud of my son.
I’m sick of listening to this guy. And it has nothing to do with the topic here. He is guilty of the very thing he blames others of. All talk no action. My state is going in the dumpster. He hasn’t helped.
Record breaking temperatures. Record droughts.
We’re in a CLIMATE CRISIS.
And what we're experiencing in California is coming to every community -- all across the United States of America -- unless we get our act together on climate change.
I’m an emotional guy. But nothing outside of my family gets me more pumped/emotional than watching Army/Navy football games. Seeing these men play their last football game before going out and keeping all of us Americans safe is so awesome. I will get tears several times today!
Tomorrow night we play Morse High School from San Diego for the Southern California Regional Championship. Tonight we shared a meal together at CVC. It was a wonderful night of celebration and fellowship. Thank you Morse Coach Tracy McNair and the CVC Boosters for a great dinner.
100% agree with coach. He is right and the CIF needs to change the system. All state games at a neutral site with great facilities. Not just the top 5 divisions.

@ShafterHigh
Really happy for this young man. Jaalen has shown what being committed to a sports program and school is all about for his entire time at CVC. I can’t wait for his last go around this year with the CAVS. His future is so bright.
The last 2 months we had CVC footballers sign d1 football scholarships. I love coaching the boys while they are in HS, but I am as excited when they live out their dreams & a university pays for their degree! Being a coach is so awesome.

In a couple weeks we get to start our 2019 season. This should hold everyone off until then. Thank you to
@DHAM700
for this. Hands down the best at what he does.
Hoping more districts see this data and I’m hoping we start seeing similar data with sports. Data shows that COVID is not spreading in schools. Just because a student or teacher gets sick doesn’t mean they got it at school. Closing school doesn’t help.
I learned a whole lot from Bryan Nixon. I don’t think he even knows how much he means to me and our program. If I ever need anything as a coach, Bryan always helps me out. Congratulations on an outstanding coaching career Bryan! Hall of Fame is exactly right!
One of the Greatest Central Section Football coaches of all time is stepping down.
Liberty Patriots and future Hall of Famer BRYAN NIXON will be moving into a administration position.
Coach turned the Patriots into a state powerhouse along with winning the State Championship in…
We lost in the championship game last night which means our season is over and I don’t have to game plan this weekend. I’m watching my first college football game of the season and it’s awesome watching CVC Football alum
@danenelson98
on TV.
I am super pumped to be back speaking during clinic season. Next weekend should be a lot of fun. Can’t wait to see all my coaching friends from SoCal! It’s been too long.
I love listening to Pat Hill and
@P356Loeffler
on the radio. Whether you are a Bulldog fan or not you have to appreciate Coach Hill’s love and passion for the Dogs and the energy and wisdom that Paul brings in the booth.
I know
@coachmmmcc
already knows this, but they are getting a really good football player and servant leader. Caleb is going to be a difference maker immediately.
This guy
@CoachVass
has made me such a better and well informed coach this off season. I really appreciate all of your help Chris. Coaches are better coaches because of you!
This thread is quite possibly the best explanation on why kids should play as many sports as possible. I 100% agree with everything
@tomhousesports
says here. Note that kids should not specialize until they have to. I believe that means major college or maybe even professional.

If I had a kid today, I’d have him/her play every sport, get them lessons for each sport ~10yo to teach them a solid foundation and get myself info to teach if asked for help.
Then, I’d stop going to the lessons and just let them play. 👇
Every time I get to meet with
@blitzologyblog
I learn something new. It’s not just scheme. The guy can flat out teach everything about defense. Our coaches improved today which means our players improved too. Can’t wait to see where he ends up.

He does this after his games. HS basketball players, if you want to be real good maybe you should strength train. Bench press and 1 leg RDL is what he is doing here.
We are over capacity w/requests for the Zoom link for our clinic tomorrow. We will post the replay online at my friend
@CoachVass
website Capacity is 100 viewers. So 1st come/1st serve. If a viewer leaves someone else can get in. Hope that’s ok w/everyone.
If we were locked in a room and wanted to get out. None of us would try to knock the door down by hitting it with our face or chest. Best argument for leverage based, shoulder lead tackling in my opinion. Thanks
@Coach_RexNorris
@AtavusFootball
I’ll be on
@ChalkWar
again tonight if any 3-4 guys wants to come watch me try to redeem myself from last week and giving up all those yards. Please support the cause that

is supporting tonight.
Final Spring semester weight room leaderboard. Our entire football program has worked real hard in the weight room this winter and spring. I am really proud of these guys and excited to see the fruit! 300+ in front squat and hang power clean is ridiculous for HS boys!

One last pic with the Champs! Really going to miss these Seniors. Big shoes to fill, but their leadership paved they way for the next group. They followed the example set by previous CAVS and added to it.
Congratulations to
@Dathan_r
for continuing to play football at the next level. Thankful for his hard work and the hard work of the coaches in this picture.
This guy!!! Unbelievable. One of the smartest football players I have ever coached. Great team mate who loves his brothers. Oh and quite possibly my son Tyler’s favorite player of all time. I am so proud of you
@danenelson98
!!!
We are so appreciative of
@_CoachMachado
and the entire Mission Oak HS community for taking this journey with us.

The football brotherhood is real and stronger than ever.
Golden West head coach Paul Preheim was cleared today and is no longer on medical leave. He’ll coach on Friday against Highland-Bakersfield from the booth.
I just love talking about this kid. Eric is a fabulous person. And once again
@Vongni
does an excellent job of highlighting all the great hard working athletes in Tulare County.
The Cavaliers (11-2) will play Morse-San Diego (10-4) on Friday at CVC in a SoCal Regional Division 4-AA Bowl Game. The winner advances to the state championship game.

Thanks to
@AnHsATHLETICS
for allowing the CAVS to use their football stadium for our last practice before the state championship. Unbelievable hospitality. Servant hearts.
If you want to watch an OL/DL put his opponent on their back every play for 7 straight minutes watch this. Pancake after pancake after pancake... This dude gets after it.
First half of the regular season is complete. We have a lot of things to work on, but I have been real proud of how our OL has finished on run plays like this.
#pancakebrigade
#willblockforfood
This is how I hope to coach my players. I fail a lot at it but since this has been my philosophy we have been a lot better as a program. I think it is not by coincidence.
Zach leaves a legacy as one of the greatest to ever come through CVC. Outstanding leadership. Selfless attitude. Will do whatever it takes to be great and make sure his teammates have a great experience.

Governor Newsom just said that "pro sports events" in California can resume in June without fans. Good sign headed in right direction for more sports events to resume later in June & July.
75 receptions, over 1100 yards receiving, 16 TDs. And was always the best and most physical player on the field for every snap. College coaches you may want to take a look at

Today I have tweeted about something political. One of my old students text me and said he had never witnessed that from me. I try to not do that. I want to be an uplifter. A positive influencer. Not a complainer. I guess we all have breaking points. I won’t do that anymore.
We had our CVC Football Banquet last Monday. The following tweets are some pictures from that. This season was memorable, and I am going to miss these Seniors so much. They embodied what it means to be a team. Every single day since May a lot of love was on display.
Watching the 95 Orange Bowl for the first time since I saw it on tv back in 95. This is one of the most physical football games I can remember. These guys played so hard in this game. Both defenses are incredible!
This is why we are developing ways to be in school, in person, 5 days/week in the fall. It is better for the kids AND better for the parents. I am so proud of our admin for working hard at this. I’m also proud of our coaches showing sports can do it too!
I will be presenting on our Defensive Game Planning later today at 1:15 CST/11:15PST for the Football Coaches Virtual Clinic. Thank you to

Weekly Friday night CVC Football meeting starting in 10. CAVS have gone through 3 weeks of online install/quizzes. We have installed 3/4 of our entire offense/defense. Love to see our guys faces every Friday. I will never take these moments for granted ever again.
@JamesALight
@coachriclark
I appreciate you
@JamesALight
for sharing what you have shared throughout the years on twitter. I have become a better coach because of what you have said more than shown. I just wanted you to know that.

I have actually made new friendships because of these zooms. For people to make fun of it is just arrogance. I am forever grateful to people like
@Coach_G32
@CoachVass
@mattarrufat
@JerodBrown_
for either directly or indirectly allowing me to make new friends!
This guy... I really cannot understand people who support him yet knock on other politicians. I’m sorry but it’s pretty rare that a lifetime rich kid is gonna get into office and do things that support anyone else but his rich friends.
Gov. Gavin Newsom forcefully pushed back on criticisms that California is becoming unfriendly for business, pointing to “all the new billionaires” created by initial public offerings and noting that its richest people are “doing pretty damn well.”
Um... yes, this is what a college offensive lineman should look like. And those pants... we usually just go plain navy and white at
@cvccavsfootball
, but
@karsonoliver77
and
@NevadaFootball
may have just gave us an idea...
It’s been a great spring so far getting to talk to so many college coaches about the awesome football players we have
@cvcathletics
But just as great is learning from these guys. Coaching is such a great profession. I’m blessed learning from guys who have the heart of a teacher.
Just finished the first ever CVC Football current players and alumni CVC Football Trivia Kahoot over Google Meet. It was awesome! It was so awesome to see the alumni. The 3D Brotherhood is as strong as ever!

@KoachTaylor
Quarters with Safeties eyes on the pass threats of RPO instead of eyes on OL has worked best for us. It is triple option Football, give everyone an assignment.
Not sure how many of you coaches use
@GetRocketbook
but it is awesome! I love it and highly endorse it. I have written (and it uploaded and transcribed to google docs) around 100 pages of notes during this quarantine.
