Class of 23 the Portal getting you down. Recruiting going slow,had a great senior year but you feel like your Slept on! Come to TU on Jan.16th MLK Day & show us what you have. We signed 7 the last time we did this. We do two more OV’s after this date.

Hate to hear people talk about how a coach doesn’t like me so they don’t play me. 99%of all Coaches like Production, that wins! We have a motto at Tusculum, “Production keeps you hired & Potential will get you fired.”Potential means you can do it but haven’t.

I guess I married the right person when she spends our anniversary decorating a recruiting dinner in Pioneer Orange & Black then helping me entertain parents as I spent two hours going over scholarship packages with each kid. Tired but very blessed. Love you Donna Odom
So proud of the Tusculum Football team. Had a rough start this year we could’ve folded our tent . Fought back won four in a row. Played an absolute defensive gem today. Could not be prouder! Tough times never last however tough people and tough teams do!
November 3 Stinks. I struggle every year because on this day I lost my mother seven years ago. She was way way more than I ever deserved. The best person I knew She always saw the good in people. I really miss her advice to her passionate hit headed son.Heaven got a good one. ❤️
Ok Florida let me get this straight. In a state where you pay your HS coaches pennies an hour. You now are pushing NIL for the the kids to get paid in High School! Some bass ackwards stuff right there. These people have families & now a 16 year old can make more than their coach.
Found a way to win today. Too many turnovers, but played well enough to end the 89 year “Mossy Creek Curse” More importantly we go 1-0 this week & 1-0 in the Mountain division. Great win in the second oldest rivalry in Tennessee.
Thoughts,We have lost 3 games 1 to an FBS team & 2 to teams that are 9-1 combined by 7 total points.I’m tough on my kids but I love this group more than anything.They CARE & they work! God as my witness we still will have a season to love. I have faith & I will NOT let them down.
Great Team win….This team cares more about their teammates than themselves!! Guys volunteering to play other positions because of injuries and stepping up and playing well. 1-0 this week!!!
#Grits
I will never do a zoom clinic for staffs I don’t know well again. Just got told by a 2nd year coach that what I do on D can’t stop anyone. I have no idea how to coach lb’s & I must not understand fits! My man, say nothing & appear stupid instead of talking & removing any doubt.🤡
Florida Finally going to 6 quarter rule per week for high school football. Will allow your backups to play and more kids to be a part of the program!! Good thing for HS football in sunshine state Bravo!!!👏
Everyone want to play College ball on Saturdays this is reality almost everyday during the season. This is why you should play every sport you can in high school because college athletics is a full time job!
#stopspecializing
Started the yearly football coaching journey yesterday for the 34th time. Football has given me so much & I cant wait to see what it does this year. I have a great young staff and great group of players to work with!! "23 is here boys hang on enjoy the ride!!!

Jacksonville University Discontinues Football - Jacksonville University..I wish I could say this surprises me but it doesn’t. A darn Shame because a lot of blood sweat and tears went into building that thing. Sad Day!!!
Man isn’t this 100% the truth. I thank God every day for using football to make me a better person in all of these. Now as a coach God uses me as a vehicle to pay this forward to a new generation to better the lives of a new generation.
Don’t forget that yesterday was only the 1st day of the signing period for D2. I am still looking for ballers. Especially Tennessee ballers who are Hope and Pell Eligible.
If you think you were overlooked but have what it takes to play at the D2 level DM me tape Gpa/test and EFC!
Let’s try this again for all my Tennessee players talking trash. If your a Freshman let’s say 18 years old you have seen 1 Victory in your lifetime. So I do understand your excitement that you may have a shot this year. I will leave this photo right here!!! GO Gators!

Update on dad had another surgery today but doing a lot better. If he gets off the ventilator tomorrow there is a chance he will get out of ICU by the end of the week. Cool picture from
@TalkinOldSchool
Thank you for all the prayers, my better half is doing great after heart surgery for a pacemaker. Covid is a rough & damaged the heart, her heart rate was hovering in the low 30’s making it hard to have energy & think. Now she is super sore but regulated in the 60’s.
#ThankUGod
It has been a tough couple weeks, with my dad, battling his issues healthwise. Want to thank my wife for always being there for him when I couldn’t be there. Sometimes you have to remember what’s most important. Faith family I needed both lately. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Less than 24 hrs until we tee this 22 season up. What do we need? Effort, Execution, & fundamentals. We will get punched in the mouth, how you react? Will you bite down & get better or be a front runner.Toughness is not running your mouth but competing better when it gets tough!
Looking for guys who can come in here and get us over the top. I want guys who love the process, school, weights, practice, meetings, all of it. Someone who loves to be a part of something that is bigger that themselves.

guys need not apply

Work in Silence. Self promotion is for people who do not know who they are and are insecure. If you know what your about and believe in your work ethic, athleticism, and football IQ, the work your put in will eventually show!

Ok Folks TU is looking for a Punter! If your that guy drop you tape below! Need a dude that can bomb it with hang time and directional kicking is a bonus. Only have one punter currently on the team.
Never let anyone tell you your not good enough. Everyone is where they are for a reason. God has a plan. Going out and proving people wrong is why we compete in life. Believe in yourself, trust your teammates and fight for 60 min.
Saturday guys Report for my 33rd year coaching. Coaching can be stressful & crazy you live & die weekly on a scoreboard, still would not want to do anything else nothing better than seeing kids grow into men on & off the Field! Ready for the 22 journey.

Good Luck to Coach Taylor. Great football coach to lead the Pioneers! Wishing him and his staff the best, anything I can do to help the transition, just a phone call away. Wishing all the players success in the future! love you guys!
#Pioneerup
Some days I really miss my dad. Looking for advice as a head coach. I know he is listening to me & I for guidance in a positive way. Losing my parents in the last 7 years has robbed me of my two biggest influences in my life! Please lord guide to be a good leader of men.
Every morning, when I wake up, I’m thankful to God as he gave me another day to see his beautiful world and your lovely creation. Thank you for giving me the platform to compete on what I love to do!! Lets get it!!

TU just did not have it today! We have had a ton of injuries all year and caught up with us. This team never wavered through any of it.Proud to be their coach. Lots of vets coming back & we need to learn & let this drive us in 23! Proud of my Staff did great despite the injuries!
We aren’t there yet but this group over in Greene-Vegas is going to be pretty darn good. Just need to add a few pieces to the puzzle. You put the tape on everyday & we are playing fast & Physical! Growth is evident.10 practices in I am very encouraged. Looking like last spring.
Happy to have Malik working with me again in the 'Whee one of the brightest young coaches i have had the pleasure of working with!!! Going to get those safeties right!!

👀👀Headed to my old stomping grounds tomorrow for one week 321,386,407,772,863 your on my radar!! Looking for the best and brightest to be TU Pioneers! Thanks to the Jenkins bed & breakfast for my NSB accommodations! If you have been slept on drop you high lite,below⬇️⬇️
We are back and the 530am grind comes early but there is nothing better than watching these guys stack ‘em on the good side!!! So Happy to be back at it!!! 💯
Been watching film for going on 16 hours today. Love Mondays. Can’t wait to start this week & meet the challenge of putting my guys in the best position to make plays! Great groups of men rise when up knocked down. We must be great Tuesday - Thursday to have a chance!Be uncommon!
I lived through FL Coaches pay their whole childhood, this is a must. You get what you pay for & Florida pays scraps for their coaches. The comparison to Georgia, SC, &Alabama is staggering. Great coaches in Florida do it because they love it, but that doesn’t pay the bills!
I couldn’t be prouder of our team. We had a truly tough assignment 1 day of practice & came out flat & got punched in the mouth. But great teams find a way! Character, effort & fight finds a way. I will continue to go to war with this group. Couple days off are well deserved!
Do I challenge them or do I lay off. I think you have to be who you are as a person & go with what your gut tells you. We have a great group of young men, I hope that I am pushing them to be the best. It’s not getting knocked down but getting up & keep on keeping on!
#thestandard
Great week of Prep. You win games Tuesday through Thursday. Attention to detail, prep of opponent,& making sure you get 1% better daily. The challenge now is how much can you keep gaining by film study.Getting your body right is great but your mind is the real weapon in football.

Sometimes this is hard for some people to understand. However, I truly believe, the person who challenges you to be your best and holds you accountable loves you more than a person who watches you stay the same, says nothing, and accepts your mediocrity.
