Possible Move for 2015
Faithful Readers,
First I would like to thank everyone who reads my blog. I plan on taking some time over the next several weeks and doing some writing on my blog. Cleaning it up and getting back the reason for my blog which goes much deeper than football. The reason for this post is that I am currently looking to relocate. I have coached the last 3 seasons as the Offensive Coordinator here at Obion County Central High School in northwest Tennessee. It is a great place to teach, but an extremely tough place to coach. We recently had a coaching change and while there is a possible opportunity to stay, I am exploring my options. I would like to be a Head Football Coach, but I am open to an Offensive Coordinator position in the right situation. I think my blog speaks for itself in terms of my offensive philosophy. I would like to think that it speaks for itself in terms of my character. If you have an open position, I would love to talk to you.
Here is my Resume:
Married: Wife -- Kim
Children:
Son -- David age 21
Son -- John age 19
Son -- Dakota age 19
Daughter -- Rachael age 27

Roman 12:1 (MSG)
So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life – your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking around life – and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to it’s level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.
