Because Losing Sucks

-
I am on the verge of completing my first semester here at Buffalo.  We finished 1-9 and this is a tough place to coach and win.  In particular there is a culture of losing that has dominated this place for going on 20 years.  In year one, I felt like we did a lot of things right.  I believe we have laid a foundation for future success.  We might have a foundation, but we have not built any walls of as yet to protect what we have done.  I am going to start a new series on my blog called, changing a culture from losing culture to a winning culture.  I plan to work on it over Christmas Break.  If everything goes as planned, I plan to add some video features to my blog as well.  The series will focus on the challenges we have here at Buffalo and what we are doing to change the culture here.  Some days you feel like you are winning and some days you are reminded just how ingrained the culture really is.  

 Please join me in a couple points of prayer.  In order for this work here at Buffalo, I need a job for my wife who is yet to find work in Southwest Missouri and is still living in West Tennessee.  Please pray that she finds work in the area and preferably at Buffalo.  Also, please pray that we sell our house back in Union City, Tennessee.

 Thanks for reading and supporting my Blog and new material coming soon!

 Go Bison!

Coaching Football Jesus Style

This Article was originally posted on Doublewingonline Coaching Football: Jesus Style Mark Jackson, Christian Assistant Football Coach Grandview High School Kansas City, MO Coach Pitcher goes over the special teams depth chart one last time, next Coach Goltra reminds the team one last time of the keys to success on defense. Now it is my turn, I try to eloquently hit the tree points necessary for us to be successful on offense; establish the Power by getting a play side push from our offensive line, be able to protect the play action, and make sure that we play our “up” tempo style of no huddle. “Gentlemen, play fast tonight, if you are more physical than them then you will win this game. Remember focus and intensity, but focus comes first! All right now, let’s pray.” I usually pick a player to lead the prayer, they sometimes fumble through it or seem very nervous, but I am always encouraged by the sincerity of the prayer. When the players finish praying we always do one last thin

What We Worship

-
I am sitting at an auto dealership waiting for my wife’s vehicle to be fixed, which means that I am sitting in a waiting room full of people and we are watching daytime television. The Tyra Banks show is now on and the Rachael Ray show just went off. Tyra is interviewing Alyssa Milano, who I hate to admit, but I had a crush on her as a teenager, but what boy who grew up in the 1980’s didn’t have a crush on her – maybe even had a poster on the wall, but don’t tell anyone. Anyway, I am getting a little off the point here so let me get back on track. When the Tyra Banks show came on, she came up through an elevator with smoke and spotlights and music in the background and the crowd gave her a standing ovation cheering wildly. Of course Tyra Banks is a superstar and probably one of the most beautiful women on this planet, but is it right to put these people up on a pedestal like this? This thought for this strand started last night. My mother-in-law, a very Godly lady, came in for Ch
