Amen Jeff, with the portal…so many kids would be better off playing D2/D3 early and maybe earning their way to a higher level after performing in college. No time to “develop” at D1 anymore

We are announcing D3 Preseason All American teams from a website? I must have missed the vote to put Carter Sievers up for being a preseason D3 All American because his numbers were pretty good last year.

Do your homework on your next spot! Schools who continue to overhype their players and not get minutes at the next level just so they can say you went D1, are not looking out for your best interests….

The Saban Documentary is inspiring and as a coach makes you think about a lot of things. Rights, wrongs, and how you can just get better, not only in coaching, but in life. Sometimes it takes a bit to figure things out. A lot learned from one of the best ever!

Beautiful quote from an Elite Leader of Men “In you’re lowest moment, you find out a lot about yourself” It’s inevitable that tough times will come at some point in your journey, but it’s how you respond to those tough times that define you as a person

Andrew Whitworth says Nick Saban was the only coach willing to tell him the uncomfortable truth during his recruitment, while other schools promised he could remain a tight end, Saban told him he was actually an offensive tackle and framed the decision in a way Whitworth would remember for the rest of his life “Then Nick Saban got the job at LSU and came to my house. And basically he said, ‘I’m going to be honest with you. I don’t think anybody else is telling you this. You can go to these schools and they’ll sign you as a tight end, but eventually they’re going to move you to tackle. I want to tell you that from the beginning. If you move to tackle, I think you can play in the NFL for as long as you want and have an unbelievable career.’” “Then he told me, ‘It won’t be a 4-year decision, it’ll be a 40-year one.’ And boy, he couldn’t have nailed it much better.” “That’s what makes Nick Saban who he is. He had the ability to have a vision for his players, what they were and what they could become, and deliver that message in a way where you had to respect it.” “I think having tough conversations is probably the mark of some of the best leaders and coaches I’ve ever been around. There are a lot of people who can coach well. There are a lot of people who can lead well.” “But the elite ones can have the tough, hard conversations.” “You might not walk out of the room loving what they said, but you appreciate the message. And you appreciate the guts it takes for somebody to tell you something you might not want to hear.”
