This past week was my 3 year anniversary of being the Head Football Coach at Mayville State. I was 28 years old when we took over a rebuilding NAIA program. We only had 32 kids on roster the first day on campus. Here is a thread of the 10 things I have learned in 3 years. 🧵

17 seniors. 19 wins. One final practice. Tonight, we started a new tradition with our seniors signing and ringing the Alumni Bell as they officially transition from players to alumni. Blessed to have recruited and coached this group. They helped build the foundation of Mayville State Football. #RollMets

Our guys got the chance to send Matt off to his next stop in Lincoln, Nebraska, this morning. Such a powerful morning for all our guys to see Matt, and send him off surrounded by love and support. Keep fighting, Matt! We love ya, 3! 💙

We cannot thank the MSUN Women’s Basketball team, and MSUN Athletics department as a whole enough for selling 50-50 tickets in support of Matt. They raised over $1,000 for the family! #PlayFor3 #RollMets
