Thats how grown men converse, respectful without blowing there own horn and swearing. Im very impress with their humbleness.

Roll Tide Coach!!! Great interview to get to know him. This guy is clearly an up and coming coach who is going to impress folks. Love how he “wants to make sure those who bet on him” feel like they made the right move. That’s the people we need and who will keep this dynasty rolling. Love his wide range of experience. Most of all I love how real he seems and how authentic he is. Seems like a great recruiter that can help young men grow in and off the field.

Let’s get it coach. Roll Tide!!
