Underclassmen – Do yourself a favor, and ask to sit down (one on one), with the senior that you have the greatest respect for.
Ask them what their greatest regrets are over the past four years, ask them what they would do differently, and learn from their example!
I loved my college experience... From playing football, to running track, to all the classes I took, to the friends I made, and to receiving my degree. All that has helped me deal with life head on and overcome obstacles.
Thank you

All High School players, pay close attention to all the players getting drafted from Small Colleges. Football is Football... If you can play you can play and the

will find you. Go where you fit, be loved, and graduate.
🚨To all parents🚨
Please understand that there is not one coach who is make a living in sports by not playing the players who give them the best chance to win. It’s much bigger than your child.
I really enjoyed this 2018 Season, players played hard & coaches coached hard. The end result was not what we wanted for the varsity(10-3), but with all 3 levels going undefeated in District & being District Champions that is amazing. We will be back in 2019
#LionsPride
🚨PSA🚨
To all parents to that don't agree with how their child is being coached in sports or educated through school. Please call TEA open your own school, hire your own teachers/coaches, & get ready to face parents like yourself. That have plenty of complaint & all the answers.
I was a college football player who not many people remember or care to remember. One day this will be most of you and you need to be ok with that. If you have no identity without a football uniform on, you’ll have no identity for most of your life...Academics Matter!

Workouts are at 7:00am
That means it starts at 7:00am!!! Not walk in at 7:00am in school clothes and waiting for you to get changed and mentally prepped.
EARLY IS ON TIME...ON TIME IS LATE...LATE IS UNACCEPTABLE ‼️. Message to players for 2021 Season
When I 1st starting coming to
@THSCAcoaches
Coaching Convention... I'd never thought in a million years, I would have one of these badges. Thanks
@coachjohnking
for your support and nomination and to everyone that is in charge of association, this is an amazing honor.
99% of people want to “be” a Head Coach, while at the same time, 99% of those very same people don’t want to do what’s necessary to BECOME a Head Coach!
I am a Hard Coach to play for.
I am going to:
- Hold my players accountable
- Expect their best every time
- Require them to be a good teammate
- Require them to buy in
- Require them to give up the ME for the WE

🚨Attention parents,
Coaches are not picking at your son or daughter... THEY ARE JUST HOLDING THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS AND NO ONE ELSE. "Something you may want to practice also!"
#StopDefendingWrongActions
When did this process to playing varsity football become an issue⁉️
9th graders = Freshman Football
10th graders = JV Football
11th graders = JV Football
12th graders = Varsity Football
Underclass that play varsity football should be considered as abnormal and not be expected 💯
Head Coaches... Be sure to thank your Asst. Coaches
Asst. Coaches... Be sure to thank your Head Coach
Without each other, none of you would have a job/success.

Coach Gay has accepted the OC Position at Sam Houston HS in San Antonio, TX, this is a great opportunity for him & his family. So, with that opening, I will fill it by moving up Warren Perry from Asst. Freshman FB to Varsity Offensive Line Coach. Congratulations Coach W. Perry.

Good morning world,
Soft people will not be tolerated!
S...Satisfied with being average!
O...Only concerned about SELF!
F...Find excuses easily!
T...Tough with words, but no action!
Being a parent can be tough. None of us want our kids to go through anything painful but at the same time we know it’s critical for their development. Reminds me of the old proverb, “prepare the child for the path not the path for the child.”
Every Friday night there’s someone in the stands or standing on the fence at high school games others hang around telling stories of how good they were and what they could have been. Don’t let that person be you. Bad grades & being lazy are career killers. Academics Matter.
Coaches/Teachers/Administration
Be sure to show some empathy for students when they return to campus...this past week has been a lot more than you make think for most of our students.
When I get on players (about their grades, their weight room effort, or performance during practice/games), please know that it’s because I see tremendous potential in them, and want the absolute best FOR them, and FROM them!
#PayAttentionToAll
Six years today, you said "I do" and I thank you for always being there for me, the kids, and the family...I thank you for being by my side through the good and bad...I thank you for your support, love, and understanding. I love you... Happy Anniversary

92 have signed in 10 Seasons & working for my seniors now. When I took over 11 Seasons ago, I made it a priority to be the bridge between my players & colleges. To make sure that every player has an opportunity to play ball & get educated at the next level(no matter what Div).

FOOL PROOF PLANS TO PASS ALL CLASSES IN HIGH SCHOOL...
1) Be on Time... Never late!
2) Do not disturb class/teacher (Be quite)
3) Engage in class/Do your work and complete
(Am I wrong for thinking this way or just crazy ⁉️)... I think as an offensive coordinator there is nothing wrong with calling plays that work over & over until it is stopped.
To all young coaches and even a few older coaches....
Don't let anyone out work you in the classroom or the field/court.
The only bad Coach is a lazy Coach... If you have to be told everything to do on a daily, you probably will not be there long.
#HolmesEstate
No one is bigger than the team. You're going to be on time, you're going to work hard, you're going to be coachable, & you're going to know your position. If you can't do these things you're not going to play here & we don't care who you are.

Been a rough day, but I want to thank everyone for the calls, texts, and tweets... Me and My family greatly appreciate it. It will be a struggle for awhile and Granny will be missed, but we must live on as she would demand us to do.
Going to miss coaching these guys... love them all and thankful for the foundation they left for the underclassmen, they truly left

Highschool Football players want a college to invest in them for 3 to 5 years and they won’t invest in themselves for 30 min to 2 hrs worth of intense practice,hard work,sacrifice & focus on what's important!
#Truth
Most Players want a Division I Offer: Is your Academic Transcript worth $80,000, Work Ethic in weightroom worth $80,000, character worth $80,000. Punctuality to meetings/practice worth $80,000. Attention to detail worth $80,000. If you don't invest in yourself, why should they?
When I get to sit in the stands and watch football games....I get to hear some really dumb statements/comments 🤣
Just a great reminder why they are watching and the coaches are coaching💯
