You can easily separate the “TEAM ” players from the “ME” players.. The team players are “coachable” and accept the coaching. Those players are about winning #facts

1-10 to CHAMPIONS in 3 years. 🏆 Only 4 transfers in the starting lineup whole season. 40+ Starters recruited straight out of high school. In an era obsessed with the portal, we chose a different path: Recruit. Develop. Retain. You can still build a championship program the old-fashioned way.

I remember crying myself to sleep at Independence Community College. B/c D1 Colleges telling me I’m too short to play D-End. The only way to prove them wrong is to make history. Something you cant ever doubt. Thank You UIW for giving me this opportunity to show the world who I am

NAIA approved a fifth season of competition for eligible athletes starting fall 2027. I’ll keep saying it: NAIA deserves a serious look. You can get a degree, play high-level football and build something you’re proud of there. That can be the final destination. Not just a stepping stone.

JT was the spark we needed when he came over from Ironwood Ridge and helped us get to the state semi finals in 2022, but football doesn’t matter when one of our own needs us! JT is a Great kid and him and his family needs all the support they can get right now!
Very sad development: A GoFundMe drive has been created by the father of former @cdo_football standout Jordan Thomas after Thomas became paralyzed in a game with Fort Lewis (Colo.) College on Saturday. Story - allsportstucson.com/2026/10/… ---

I am old school.. but can we please have a dress code for High School coaches? Is it too much to look the part? Hats, jeans, socks tucked in to your sweats, sun glasses on in the gym, muscle shirts.. all not looking like a head coach!! Coaches set the tone.. please look like one!
