My hope is that every athlete I coached, understood that while I sought to bring out their best, I also was one of the people who cared about them the most.
"Coach Scalley knows every single one of us," veteran safety Nate Ritchie said. "He knows our birthday and names and cares about all of us. Asks us question about how he can improve. He's a service-led leader and asks, "How can I be better?'" Great stuff @RSNBUtes 🫡
"I believe love is stronger than fear." A look at the evolution of Utah football under Morgan Scalley -- two QBs, dancing every day and the coach buzzing around on a motorized scooter/suitcase. For the 6-0 Utes, a simple question has guided them: "Are there ways we can do it better?" espn.com/college-football/st…
Ben Johnson asked Santos if he wanted it and when he said yes, Coach trusted his kicker to make a career long kick after missing one already. #coach2win

"I think your job as a coach is to create an environment where your players have an opportunity to be successful and then get out of their way.
We're in the solution business. If you're a really good football coach, you are really good at solving problems"

Instead of asking God, why this is happening? Instead, ask God, what do you want me to learn from this?
Analytics don’t take into account:
Current weather
Current injury situation
Momentum
Matchup - for example opponent is the top run/pass defense.
Analytics are a tool not a be all end all.
Kyle Shanahan says a 51% analytics recommendation won’t convince him to go for it because he gets one shot, not an hour at a blackjack table
“I don’t want to hear about it if it’s 51% of the time we should go for it.”
“As I always say, I’m not sitting here playing Blackjack for an hour with no one else at the table, and eventually I’ll get 51% of it. Like, I have this one try, and I have a feel for it. I’ve been doing it too long.”
“But what I want to know from him, when it’s not a feel, when it, no, this is 98%. We don’t even need to talk about it. So we don’t need to talk about it. Tell me when it’s that, and I’ll just do it.”
“To understand a problem that seems impossible to solve, look beyond the obvious explanations and question the assumptions everyone else takes for granted.”

Tremendous coaching jobs by Troy Calhoun, JaMarcus Shepherd, John Sumrall, and Pete Goulding, but my Coach of the Week Award goes to Alex Golesh @AuburnFootball #WarEagle
Winning a football game is hard.
Winning a conference game is harder. Winning a crucial game on the road is an extremely difficult. Officials miss calls for both teams and the severity depends upon perspective.
No matter how you win, a win is a WIN! #IYKYK

“Now I want you to know, dear brothers & sisters, what God in his kindness has done through the churches in Macedonia. They are being tested by many troubles, & they are very poor. But they are also filled with abundant joy, which has overflowed in rich generosity.” 2 Cor 8:1-2
Expanding the college football playoff to 24 teams is not going to ruin college football.
- Want every regular season game to count? Eliminate money games!
- Wouldn’t you rather watch 23 playoff games than 41+ bowl games? I know I would.

Leadership Lessons:
When you ask for feedback, resist the urge to explain every decision.
Listen.
Take notes.
Say thank you.
Give yourself time to consider what you heard.
You never know when or what your greatest word or action of faith might be. Keep looking forward to what God has in store.
