Praying with you all, Coach. 🙏🏻

For all those who think AI can now do the job of the SID…. Yeah, not so much.
Here is how AI writes a gamer for @AP on a game that ended with a three at the buzzer from the top of the key….
If this is true, he should be firing multiple coaches last night.
I’m guessing that’s not the case.
He called victory formation. As close to a guarantee win as you can get.
Team ran a play instead. Lost.
Feel for him. If you’ve coached long enough, you’ve seen some REALLY crazy stuff like this happen. He’s right, this video will be used for teaching sessions for years to come.
Guaranteed he’ll never again take off his headset and assume his team is getting in victory formation. He’ll make sure they are in it every time for the rest of his career. Some hard lessons we learn as coaches…some we didn’t even know we had to learn
Another example of the lack of loyalty in athletics today.
GAMPEL family says UConn name change to pavilion is 'a despicable and disrespectful way to honor the legacy of our father'... go.ctcapitolreport.com/48GoA…
First class dude in my book, @ChildersRadio and @CoachNeuheisel.
Have to say @RickyRahne gained a new fan today. Technology was not our friend on sidelines 1st half today. He could have easily given me an earful when we spoke at halftime. But he chuckled & said “I’m not mad at you.”
I’ve been around a long time. Not everyone would do that. 👍🏻

My last post on this topic. This is what soccer people don’t understand: if someone asked baseball coaches to play 7 weeks in the fall and 11 weeks in the spring (3 gm weekend series), they would JUMP at the chance (using the same logic)… and the same group would object to it.

I wish I could take credit for this but gotta admit it was a friend in the group chat but I’m sharing here.
In honor of CFP playoff rankings and voting day yesterday, here is the Top 25 as US Presidents

Since the men’s soccer vote did hold up and the Cabinet vote was recinded, again…. Take the high road. Create a conversation. Do what you can to open minds that this is about the greater good of an athletic program, not the diminishing of one sport’s desires.
Let me be clear: if the vote holds up, no one should celebrate the recession of the men’s soccer model. Instead, it should open up conversation about making decisions that impact other people’s sports and workload, and not existing in a silo.
Be mature about it.

I truly hope that every SID looks at @DanWetzel over the next few months and asks “why didn’t you let us tell our side of the story, too?”
Not a mean way, but in a meaningful conversation.
Men's collegiate soccer is still jamming up to 25 games into a brief, fall semester window created back in 1959. "It's archaic."
Almost everyone wants a common sense, two semester system, spreading out games for health, developmental, academic, competitive and growth reasons.
It may get blocked anyway.

I’m a little glad he’s shown himself like this.
If you want to see what conference meetings can be like, these folks have shown you. Many conferences, especially coach groups, are disfunctional with personal agendas. And the men’s soccer coaches have shown the very worst of it.
At 236 rescind votes, and 241 nearing....it's important to note that 41 of the last 50 rescind votes don't sponsor Men's Soccer. Dark day for @NCAASoccer. Admin friends calling friends is ending an attempt to provide a better soccer experience for 5600 D1 Mens soccer athletes.
Think about what he just wrote.
A university athletic department should join a professional soccer league.
This is the level of stupidity we have reached.
I almost guarantee that programs like Maryland will now push to join the pro ranks. Others may follow, and should. The alumni base of some of these schools is substantial and includes billionaires and others with the real means to help top college programs transition into the pro ranks. It’s a bummer that college soccer couldn’t get it right but this will hopefully lead to a more drastic and impactful outcome. And I’m totally in support of that direction. @SashoCirovski has led the way on what the contingency plans might be. Keep going!! The athletes deserve it.
Tell me if you have heard this before….
Silo mentality.
For my umpire friends, if you are into VR strike zone training, Ember Sports launched a rebuild… WOW!
ABS, stat analysis and many more bells & whistles. Discovered update yesterday. They nailed it!
