Well, it seems like you said, like, you know, you had kind of control over that.
Then what made it go so haywire last year?
The cameras.
Really?
Yeah, it's just nucleus, bad nucleus.
And did it, do you feel like you could, going back on it, would you have done
anything different
to, like, from the top down, like, this is how it is?
You know what?
I don't know.
I think it might have been inevitable, man.
I don't know if you could have changed that.
I don't know if anybody could have came in there and did anything different.
I wasn't going to change up anything because my model's always been successful.
So why would it change all of a sudden?
We still have the best players.
Did you change, do you think?
I don't think I changed.
I think.
Because the ego is dangerous, man.
I know this from my own ego, you know, like, my career has changed a lot.
I've worked for 15 years, and in the past year, it's really gotten a lot
different.
Yeah.
You know, and sometimes it's tough for me.
You know, I'm tough.
I've been, we've gone through stuff here with working with my producer.
It's been tough for me to learn to work with others, but it's been tough for me
to learn
who I am as I'm becoming more of a, I have to be more responsible and stuff,
you know.
We all grow.
Yeah.
It's been tough for me.
I've had a lot of struggles with it.
Yeah, yeah.
And sometimes it's my own ego.
Sometimes it's insecurity.
You know, it's a little bit of everything.
You know, I think football coaches, especially head coaches, are probably the
most egotistical
humans on earth.
I think football players are the most egotistical people on earth, and I think
that's where you
get the head butted, head butting going on.
But I don't think I changed.
I think as the year went on, you can see, my boss made a comment the other day,
you can
see in the show, because she watched it, you could see on the show how you just
were like,
give me the fuck over this year because you didn't want to be around those kids,
those coaches,
nothing.
And I didn't.
And that's why I was, week five, to be honest with you, I was thinking about
what I'm doing
different next year already.
And I already had the plan.
I was doing it every night till midnight or two in the morning, three in the
morning in
my office building this year's team.
And is that because if you don't win that year, if you don't get to that high,
like if you're
not undefeated, then it doesn't really matter?
Or what is?
No, it's just that I knew the nucleus we had and it was just a bad batch, man,
bad batch
from top to bottom.
And I knew I was starting over and I was going to gut this thing and we were
going to get
back to the basics.
And character first was what I was changing.
So I had character first wrapped everywhere in the facility and that was going
to happen.
And that's, so that kid, that German kid that I hired, that whole issue
happened with,
I hired him to be a graphic design guy.
And he was a manager, came from, you know, overseas, came out there and I got
him a job
on campus, fed him every day.
I said, listen, if you can help me wrap this facility, get it nice, I'll let
you be on
the team.
You'll never play, but I'll let you be on the team.
What was he going to be on the team?
A soccer player?
I don't know what he would have been, but you know, he, he, he did a good job
and I
let him in.
He helped me wrap that thing, getting all that going.
Yeah.
I will say that a lot of stuff looked good.
Yeah.
So, you know, that place was bad when I got there, man.
It was, you don't even know.
We, I built everything with these man and that's the most rewarding thing.
I think the blood, sweat and tears you put in and when you win it and that's
the most
rewarding deal in, in, in, in anything.
But, um, yeah, he kind of, did he backstab you a little bit?
I didn't think it was that bad.
Texting you calling my buddy Hitler?
That doesn't mean anything to me.
It's like, I don't give a fuck.
It's like, it's a joke between friends and it's a fucking, he called himself
that.
And that's when he got there, he did that.
And, and the team called him that.
Everybody called him that word.
Yeah.
Digital Hitler, I think is one of his screen names.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's crazy.
He had, he had the Mein Kampf book he'd walk around with.
He did, he did it.
He did a lot of that.
It's all going to come out, man.
The truth.
And the thing is, man, he did a lot of that stuff and, uh, the kids were going
to kill
him, man, after the whole deal.
And even though I'm getting investigated, I'm having to protect that kid from
getting killed
by the players.
People don't know that.
And, uh, you know, I hired the kid because they were trying to fire me over it.
Oh, and the players wanted you there.
Yeah.
And they were like, motherfucker, your ass called yourself that.
Now you want some 15 minutes of fame.
Right.
And he, you see in the show, I guess, Greg, I thought depicted it, right?
You know, you see us, they're all, kids are calling him that.
I'm calling him that on the field in the office.
He's laughing and giggling because he knew.
And you see this text messages that were put in there.
There, there's stuff scratched out on the media.
There's some stuff missing that's unbelievable and how people take your opinion
and run with
their own opinion and run with.
Also, it's a text message between two people.
Who gives a shit?
If I'd say, say Nick and I'm, look, I'm sorry if I'm being a Hitler today or,
you know what
I'm saying?
Let me ask you this.
Did you know this?
Our, my boss, the president of the college was from, of a Jewish descent.
Who?
Uh.
Barnwood.
Barnwood.
Yeah.
I knew that.
So he's up there saying these things in the academic building.
I get wind of it.
I bring him in the office.
I suspend him.
He also, I had a huge issue with him and females.
Females are coming to me left and right.
Like he's super scary to them.
Yeah.
And he's creepy.
Oh, dude, he made my fucking ovaries hurt a little.
And I don't even, and I got a cock.
You feel me?
So he's breaking, he's breaking into the weight room, man.
And this sounds like Selena.
This sounds like the person that killed Selena.
Ah, fuck.
Man, I'm just telling you.
Why didn't you let that guy go then at some point?
Well, I did.
I suspended the guy and I cut.
I said, you're done here.
He immediately goes from there to the fucking academic building and doing like
the marching
shit.
And the teachers called me and that's when I sent out the text and I was really
doing
it as a joke to say, listen, I'm trying to help your savior ass, but I'm your
new boss
basically.
Get your ass over here and see me because you're not going to do that shit
under my watch, under
my program and make us look bad as a football program.
And so that's why I regret that.
I regret doing that way because obviously nowadays with the soft natured people
that we live in
in this culture, society, they want to get 15 minutes of fame and they're going
to blast
you out.
And I don't blame the kids, man.
I don't blame the kid.
You don't blame him?
I don't blame him.
I blame the cowardly grown folks that pushed it.
I get the kid a job on campus.
It's the guy that employed him that pushed this.
Right.
And it's ridiculous because he wanted some fame.
Not the principal, huh?
Not the president.
Not the president.
No, no.
Because the president seemed to kind of, he doesn't comment on it in the show,
but yeah,
I mean, I knew that he was Jewish or he seemed like it, you know, and then, but
then I was like, oh, if he didn't really comment on it, then he, you know, like,
I don't
know if anybody, because nobody cared.
Nobody, here's the thing.
Nobody really cares about any of this shit.
Nobody does.
It's like people write articles and then people that are bored.
If I went in a public figure, I'm still there.
Nobody gives a fuck.
The thing is, the president came in.
If you were winning, do you think that anybody would have cared?
This is the thing.
They hadn't won in 30 years.
Year one, we went in there.
We beat four teams that they haven't beaten in 30 years.
Yeah.
We beat them.
Oh, they got a picture of the independence football team from like 25 years ago
and half
of them have won ice skates, dude.
Fucking shitty squad, bro.
Well, that's what I mean.
So, we go five and four year one.
Yeah, what I'm at a catcher's mitt on.
I'm like, damn, what is that, dude?
No shit.
But five and four year one.
Yeah.
I mean, unheard of.
So, like, okay, shit.
Next year, we win it.
Like, then I have one bad year and that's not, I wasn't worried about, I was
like, I'm
never going to fight for a bad year after what we've done here in three years.
So, that's why week five, I was prepping for this year and I was already gutting
it, getting
ready for the program because I think we would have won it all this year.
We had a great staff I hired, the best recruiting class in my three years there.
So, it had even been better and this happens.
So, going back, what could you have done different, do you think, if you were
looking back on it?
I mean, what?
Man, I don't know, man.
I don't know.
Sometimes things are supposed to go the way they go, man.
I don't know if you can change something.
You know, I didn't do anything different.
It was, you know, the cameras didn't bother me.
They bothered other guys.
But this is the one thing I'll tell you, which might sound like jokingly, as a
joke, I'll
never hire these young fucking coaches again.
So, maybe I'll have a staff of fucking 80-year-olds next time I get a job
because those guys know
the intimate setting of a locker room.
And when we grew up in football, football locker room was the most intimate
setting, period.
Now, it's a mockery.
It's a place where kids want to film you.
You're cussing out the team because Johnny stole at Walmart.
You're cussing out the guy and the team for making an example of everybody.
So, you better not do it or this guy, you're going to end up like him, cut, or
in jail.
And they want to film you on the low and put it on social media and even
coaches, young
coaches.
I'm just like, where does this become?
Everybody's trying to get their clout.
And that's what kind of gave me a sour taste in coaching.
Maybe I don't want to do this no more if it's become such a spectacle.
Well, there's so many battles it seems like you have to face.
Not only are you trying to keep these, I mean, and you're also, you're at the,
you're like
a second, you're, you know, you're at the, you're a father, but you're also,
you're the
tent behind the big circus.
It's like, this is where the animals, you know, they got animals doing
cigarettes out here.
You know what I'm saying?
Half the guy, you know.
This is where we, this is where all the shit's done and you don't, they don't
show it.
Like, you know, there's a lot of things and, you know, you get drug through the
mud back
there.
They just show the good shit, you know, dumping water on me when we win it all.
Like, you don't know what we had to go through to win that thing.
You know what I mean?
And it's not like it's a 20 minute ride from, in California, JUCO, you're
taking 20 minute
bus rides.
You know, we're going to Garden City seven hours across the state or to Iowa or
whatever.
And, you know, you got to deal with those kids in hotels overnight, you know?
Yeah.
Oh, I'm sure, especially with social media now, everybody's trying to fuck each
other
and all of this shit.
It's a joke, man.
It's become really funny.
Oh, you can fuck somebody at a truck stop, you know what I'm saying?
If you're filling up a 30 gallon tank, you'd have time.
You know what I'm saying?
It's like, these days it's so easy to just cross paths with someone.
Go to A&PM or whatever, yeah.
Do you wish you were still at Independence?
Not how it ended, no.
Because I just don't, I feel the course had ran its, you know, the time ran its
course.
I think it was done.
It was time to move on.
All good things come to an end.
I built that place, man.
I mean, there's a brand new turf field there, state of the art, locker rooms,
meeting rooms.
Nice.
You name it.
I did it.
And so I missed that part of it because I know what we were going to have.
It would have been the premier place in America.
There's no doubt about it.
But at the same time, man, I've never kissed anyone's ass, man.
If you don't want me there, I'm fucking leaving on my own.
You don't got to beg me to leave.
And you don't have to force me out.
I'm leaving on my own.
And that's just how I was raised, man.
And so if you don't want me, I don't want to be here either.
And for the most part, I was wanted by everybody.
You know, 99% of that town wanted me there, man.
I get a lot of love emails from them people to this day in independence, man.
And I love my time there.
You know, to be honest, small town and all that.
But it was fine with me.
I was there to do a job, which was to help young boys turn into men.
And we did that.
We excelled.
And we did it better than anybody in the country.
And so we put our footprints in the sand, man, so to speak.
And we set history, made history there.
And now maybe it's something, it's a new venture to be had.
What are you missing right now about coaching?
The interaction with the kids.
You know what I mean?
Recruiting and getting those kids, finding the next Emmett Gooden or Rakim Boyd
or Malik Henry
and trying to save one of them because you can't save them all.
So my whole thing is save one of them, man, because I try to tell these young
coaches,
you try to save them all, you're going to spread yourself too thin
and be super, super heartbroken at the end of the day.
I learned that as a young coach.
Did you?
Yeah.
And so, you know, now you just try to pick one and save that one kid.
And hopefully we save more than that, obviously.
But that's my goal.
And so, you know, I missed that part of it, trying to find a guy to save again
and, you know, help these young cats out.
Good evening, good afternoon and other times.
Thanks for watching that video you just saw.
I mean, it was okay.
But the next video you could watch could be way better.
What if you watch a video right now that changes your life?
Well, you could watch this one or watch this one.
Watch this one.
Watch this one.
Watch this one.
Ah!

You know, I'm tough.
I've been, we've gone through stuff here with working with my producer.
It's been tough for me to learn to work with others, but it's been tough for me
to learn
who I am as I'm becoming more of a, I have to be more responsible and stuff,
you know.
We all grow.
Yeah.
It's been tough for me.
I've had a lot of struggles with it.
Yeah, yeah.

Sometimes it's insecurity.
