Great assistants, community support, an influx of good players, the list is long. You know if he turned down the BA job that he knows he has it made.

These are in the order of importance and are strictly my opinion as i have only spoken to Coach on two ocassions.

 

1. Very knowledgeable.

 

2. Humble.

 

3.. Great assistants.

 

4. Good players and great competition within the program

 

5. Community support

 

6. Tradition

 

7. Very good facilities

 

8. The advantage of accepting transfers.

 

9. Mobility of parents. Parents willing to move into the community so they and their football playing sons can be a pert of the program.

 

10. Being a 5-A school playing in a 4-A classifacation.

Seriously though anyone in Tn has to give the man his due because he DOES win and at the same time does what is best for his players. In turn they give him their best.....game after game after game!

[ruse?]

Simple. The guy seems to have a moral code by which he lives his life. He does unto others, as he would have.... He makes decision after decision, some big some, small based on a strong self knowledge of right and wrong. This is why he receives reciprocity from the community, college coaches, peers, assistants, players, parents, adminstration, students, etc. He handled the BA opportunity openly and honestly and in a timely fashion. He does'nt inflate his players capabilities in the eye's of scouts, parents, or the players themselves. If he indicates to Auburn or UT that Carl Stewart or Tyler Maples or Aaron Douglas is a worthy recipient of a scholarship, and will be a model student athlete; his word will be taken. While the team has some stars, it appears to me that even those stars understand that the "whole" is far more valuable than the part(s). That is why they go there. They understand that the "whole" is a winner, and is attractive, and therefore those parts will be attractive. They understand they are just a part of a greater system.....just what high level college programs want in a great athlete. He does the little things. Pays attention to the feeder programs...makes sure they run a offense/defense that can be intergrated, and that the players understand it early. He has relationships with people outside of his immediate area that point talent in his direction. Makes sure he has consistency on his staff. Has a good strength and conditioning program. Shares the talented players with other coaches at the school. Simple. He just does whatever the next right thing is. He seems to keep doing that. Over the years, all those little right things have added up to great big success.

I think another thing is his work ethic. He seems to be an extremely hard worker with high expectations of himself, his staff, and his team. The work pays off. He also seems to be very consistent. This I would imagine would pay off because players know what the expectations are before they even start the program. I recently had the chance to hear him speak at the Vanderbilt Clinic and the man was so humble and down to earth. He seemed very genuine in nature which kids respond very well to. Probably what impressed me the most was his willingness to help and share his stories and knowledge. I dont know much about him but he is obviously well respected and a great coach and person.

Just from what I know, I think it is due to the fact that he treats EVERY player as if they are his own son. Can't ask for more than that.

[realdeal34]

Winning is everything to him.
