Well, 1st season as a AD/HFC has come to an end. If I had to sum it up in one word, it would be….PROUD. Although things didn’t go as we had hoped, or planned, on the scoreboard, the memories and wins off the field make it all worth it. From our first day of practice, to our our first game, to our last, and so many others in between. Through all of the injuries and adversity we faced, these dudes continued to play The Bulldog Way. They never complained, never lost hope, continued to remain positive and worked to live out our core pillars.
For that, I say thank you. Thank you to our coaching staff. I am extremely grateful to be surrounded by the best staff in the state. I couldn’t have asked for a better group of men to have on this journey. Thank you to our seniors. This senior class is special. Thank you for buying in and leading the right way. As I have told you before, your mark & legacy are the foundation of the success that WILL come to Dawson. You will all do great things in life because of the kind of men you are. I wish we had many more years with you, but I will forever cherish “my” first senior class. Thank you to our underclassmen. It wasn’t always easy but you guys remained faithful. I am excited for what the future holds and can’t wait to get back to work with you. Thank you to our administration for making this possible and bringing my family to Dawson. I cannot express my gratitude enough. Thank you to our Booster Club and moms that helped provide pregame dinners for our players. Thank you to the parents for allowing us to coach your kids. Thank you to all of those who volunteered to help in any capacity, and to any I may have left off. Lastly, thank you to my family. Thank you for your sacrifice and for allowing me to live out my dream. I know I spend a lot of time away and with other kids, but I love y’all so much and am so thankful y’all are on this journey with me.
Dawson is a special place. I will always remember & cherish this season & these people. As I continue to reflect on & enjoy this season, we will get back to work and continue to give Dawson the care it deserves.

"Championship habits look boring to people who don’t win."
But they work.

If you’ve decided to get better, you’ve signed up for adversity. Don’t be surprised by it, expect it.

Adversity is part of the path.
Show up anyway.

Listen to Spencer Danielson talk about where God has called him to be for 2 mins. You won’t regret it.

This level of care for the student athletes and the university is what every school in the country is looking for in a Head Coach.

Great leaders know success isn’t always about reaching the next level. It’s finding purpose in where you are and giving your best there. Be great today!

Sean McVay says the real separator in leadership is how you handle the storms

“I think the separator for the coaches and the leaders that I admire the most, because when things are good, it’s really like, how do we stay humble in the midst of that? How do we continue to be able hings that we’re doing, but stay humble in the midst of that journey?”

“But when you have adversity, when there’s storms, I think it’s so important that whether it’s you guys or players, they can look and they can be like, ‘I believe we can get out of this. I believe this is temporary because I believe that people that are in leadership positions have a vision, have a plan, that there’s an authenticity, there’s a capacity, there’s character and there’s a connection that are behind those things, and this too shall pass.’”

“But when you’re in those storms, if you’re looking around and you don’t have anybody where it’s like, ‘Man, woe is me. We’re never going to get out of it,’ that’s why I respect and admire when I watch leaders, whether that’s players, coaches, or just leaders in any other space, I want to see how you’re handling the tough times.”

“Because that’s when I’ve been at my worst, and I don’t want to be that again. And that’s when you’re really, the separator is how you handle the storms. I really believe that.”

You never know why someone has been placed in your path today.

Show up with kindness, offer grace, and look for opportunities to lift others up.

Be the light someone needs today. Be a Coffee Bean.

Update on my Babydoll. Man I hope this encourages someone in the battle today. Thank you isn’t enough to all of you that have been praying for us. No greater gift you can give someone.

Her oncologist called me Friday during our HS football game. He left a voicemail that said this, Um, the results came back stunning. Like, no tumor. I mean, it's, it's, we don't completely understand it. But give me a call and I'll explain what we think maybe going on and tell you how we resume.

He doesn’t understand, but we do… GOD and PRAYER!!!!
Thank you for faithfully praying!
WHAT A GOD!!❤️🙌🏻

Nothing makes me more proud as a coach!!
Love these dudes!

Great leaders make the call, learn from the results, and adjust. Waiting for perfect clarity can cost you the chance to grow. Be great today!

"The great ones don't even know what the score is, they just go." 🫡

Spencer Danielson was back on the mic as Boise State brought the Milk Can home with a 38-31 W over the Bulldogs.

NEW: UCLA head coach Bob Chesney on his goals for the 2026 season and whether they've changed:

"Goals are for people that want to win once. Process and standards are for people that want to win longterm."
