Rob Ezell is the greatest competitor I ever coached & one of the toughest dudes I have ever been around. In HS, he was Johnny Manziel before his time. He is also a brilliant football mind, but he will be forever remembered for his spot-on impression of Coach Saban.

My sweet, beautiful, Godly mama went to see her Savior this morning at 5:58. She battled Alzheimer’s for 16 years, but she suffers no more. It’s been a tough day, but a good day because this cruel disease can’t touch her anymore. Because of Jesus, we will be together again 1 day!
