After 7 years as Creative Director at Alabama Football, I’ve been let go.
I have gotten to work with some amazing people, do some incredible work and I am thankful for every opportunity my family and I were afforded.
🚨UPDATE🚨
I have agreed to be the Senior Director of Creative Strategy for Mississippi State Football!
I cannot tell you how impactful all your kind words and encouragement were in a moment that felt overwhelming.
Thank you to the MANY who helped connect me to opportunities!

I have worked for Coach Saban and his program for 13 seasons. Seven as Creative Director for Football. I’ve been blessed with the chance to be in locker rooms and film his speeches for over 150 games.
Being a part of his program changes you - in ways that can’t be quantified.
Abrupt endings can bring a lot of fear and confusion, but God is doing a good thing! If He has something more exciting than Alabama Football lined up, I can’t imagine the adventures to come!
If anyone out there is looking for someone to lead your creative team, I’d love to talk!

Creative young’ns...Here’s why you don’t pay attention to comments about work: none of those people have a clue what you went through, what boundaries/obstacles redirected you, or what unreasonable requests you had to honor to get to that point.
Love the journey, not the reviews
It changes the way I run my creative team and it changes the way I coach my son’s baseball team. When you work this long for someone who demands consistency and expects excellence, it is impossible for it not to graft itself to everything you do.
Thank you, Coach.

Listening to ESPN radio interview with
@GregSchiano
this am on way to work.
Q: “What is one of the biggest differences b/t this time and last coaching Rutgers?”
Schiano: “Our CREATIVE TEAM (!!!) -the graphics, the videos, the creative ideas they bring to the table”
One of my favorite players since I’ve been back at Bama.
He came to our office often, and we rarely talked about football. Just an intelligent, well rounded guy.
I can’t wait to see you build on your success.
#ThisIsMyYear
So…since they’re combining the jobs of:
Creative Director
Coaches Video Coordinator
SID
DFO
Recruiting Coordinator
Events Coordinator
Player Personnel, et al
…I’m sure they’re also combining the pay, right?
Alternate take: We beat the
#11
team in the country, on the road in an incredibly hostile environment, despite making TONS of mistakes, miscues and mental error penalties.
Under those circumstances, what other team survives to bring home the W?
99 yards and a cloud of concern.
@AlabamaFTBL
was pushed around for long stretches in The Swamp. During a generational dynasty
@GatorsFB
seems to be the Tide's kryptonite.
1. While I get to SEE every game (through my camera) I don’t get to WATCH any games.
2. Travel w/ team is a privilege (honest) that entails:
-getting on plane
-bus to hotel (sleeping)
-bus to stadium (work 4 hard hrs)
-bus to plane
-fly home & cut/label footage
NOT a vacation.
If you work in sports social media/ design/ content development and all you do is tear down others - grow up*.
If you’re the target - you’re probably doing something right. Keep pushing forward.
*applies to tearing down anyone who you don’t know well enough to address in person
I’m going to start dropping my design work with captions like:
“Really hated working on this poster.”
“Pretty upset with how this turned out.”
“One of my least favorite projects to date.”
Somebody has to balance the sheets.
An honest, friendly reminder: no matter who you vote for today, half of the country disagrees with you. That includes your friends, family, co-workers, etc. and they are just as invested in their vote.
Be civil. Be kind. Don’t let pride or arrogance destroy relationships.
I cannot tell you how incredible
@MLCConnect
is. There is no way to explain it. If you’re in sports design, it is a cant miss. Find a way to come connect with the best in the industry.
I’m excited and honored to be joining the incredible lineup at
#SkullSparks24
conference! This is the place to be if you’re a sports creative looking to learn and grow!
Stay tuned…I’m bringing someone along with me 👀!!
My wife, who won’t let me drink from her water bottle, gets PB all in the jelly because she uses the same knife for both.
I truly do not understand women.
By now, the news is out that
@Stjenkins21
is moving on to be the Creative Director for Maryland Football. I cant say enough about Steven’s work ethic, attention to detail, and ability to teach others in a way that is inviting and humble. He will be missed. Thank you Steven.
One of my favorite details to our videos today was the pages of the comic book.
I could’ve put anything on these pages since you couldn’t get a good look. But i felt like giving our new guys their own page among some pieces of our history was the best way to enter the BAMAverse
I ask myself every year “when do these people find the TIME to make a full-season reel?!!” as I pack up my gear for my 4th CFP Championship Game in the last 5 seasons.

Winning is key, but having a creative team like we’ve had to consistently take advantage of on-field success - while also staying true to the brand and the personality of the team - is crucial. Props to

Imagine saying this, then doubling down on it.
LSU FB content team has commanded the moment every step of the way this season, and has provided incredible individual brand value through their relentless promotion of these players and their stories.
Final Four. Wow.
@RMouchette
took me to Bama bball games starting when I was 7 years old. I got to watch Horry play Shaq. I got to watch Pettway lay it in vs Florida.
As a student, I worked for Gottfried and my first full time job was working with Grants staff.
Incredible.
I’m heavy-hearted for America right now. I’m praying for our country to rediscover the strength, courage, and wisdom that comes from Psalm 27:1
Many people mock the response: “I am praying for you and this situation,” because they don’t believe that prayer is effective. It is.
