Every coach that stops by I have a list of kids from other schools to tell them about. If we play against you & I like your game, I’ll keep your name in my back pocket. Trying to see every kid win

As I wrap up my 2nd season as a HC, here's some advice for anyone looking to take the next step in their career. More like words of encouragement, because I don't have all the answers. Disclaimer- I can only tell you what worked/helped me. I'm 33, but I'm 12 years in.

I wish coaches would stop making blanket statements about GPA’s, Test Scores, and everything else. I went to HS with, recruited, and currently teach kids w/ GROWN man problems. Sorry he didn’t do well his first two years. He was homeless, dad dead, momma on drugs.

Serious question... Why don’t RB coaches get more opportunities to become OC’s? They’re responsible for knowing the run and pass game. Have to understand pass protection and OL play as well.

If I get a call about a job, I always have someone to give the HC if it isn’t the right fit for me. We’re all in this together. I’ve gotten interviews because of this. I’ve helped ppl get jobs by doing this. Hey coach, if it doesn’t work for me, take a hard look at xyz.

Sorry finding his next meal was more important than focusing on passing biology. Don’t get me wrong some kids are lazy as hell, but do your research. Find out why a kid hasn’t done well in school. I have a kid right now that’s stronger than most grown men I know.

Kid is 17 w/ more issues than you can imagine. But he never complains & made the best of the hand he was dealt. He’s going to make a coach happy at the next level. The same way he made us proud. A kid shouldn’t have to endure so much at that age, but he’s handled it like a champ

You're never going to be fully prepared for the next step. If you're going from position coach to coordinator or coordinator to head coach. I was prepared for both, but there's just stuff you're going to have to learn on the job.

There's no such thing as a good or bad job. It really boils down to your administration. Are they willing to give you what you need to be successful? If so, you have a chance. Be realistic w/ the expectations. If your administration doesn't back you, you will fail.

Let me clear a few things up. We had an athletic trainer last year. We’ll have one this year. This isn’t just about Rio. My players will never go without. This is a CA issue. The state should value AT’s the way the rest of the country does. Every school should have one.

About to go on a rant. This is for the schools/coaches trying to poach a few of my players. 1. Don’t tell our players they can’t get recruited if they stay at Rio. It’s BS. Recruiting boils down to the player having the ability to play at the next level.

@coachkeith_1k That there’s no exact science to recruiting. Stars mean nothing. Some kids peak early, others need more time. Some kids can’t make the transition to college, others can. So much goes into being good at the next level.

Interviewing is a skill. It is a skill you must practice. Only way to practice is to go on interviews. You can hone your skills. You get a database of questions to prepare you for the next one. Even if it is a sham interview, take it. Evaluate yourself after. Take notes

Parents & players also need to realize stats don't = college prospect. No different than college players transitioning to the NFL. Yes, you had 1,200 receiving yards, but the kid w/ 700 yds can take a 6 yd hitch for an 80 yd TD.
