It’s official, I’ve landed…

Coach & My Brother, twice in my 41 career I took a year off for a variety of solid reasons and it was the best thing I did twice! You’ll refresh, self reflect, and grow which in turn will benefit you greatly when you return to the game we both love.

🙏🏽❤️💪🏽

Off to make trips for the summer & fall. We never traveled in the fall 🍁 . Guess I need to have Amazon deliver to my work as you will be home before me 📦🫠❤️

☝🏽😉🙏🏽❤️💪🏽😂 I love you Jillian!

Congrats Coach! Glad you’ve found clarity. Walking away is hard, but believing in refreshment and renewal of the spirit and mind. The best is ahead.

Amen, and thank you! 🙏🏽❤️💪🏽

Best thing you could ever do for yourself is to take time away from football. I stepped away and suffice it to say. I realized it wasn’t for me anymore. I love the game. I don’t love everything that’s a part of it ✊🏾👊🏾✌🏾

🙏🏽❤️💪🏽

Respect ✊🏾👊🏾✌🏾

Good for you! If you're meant to come back, you'll be more energized than ever!! God Bless!

Amen, and thank you!

@CoachKurtHines No matter what positive or negative events or activities we go through in life, a brief hiatus is always a rewarding feeling. Congrats Coach ! * P.s. I can hear the Honey-do-list growing as we speak :)

😉 Appreciate you!

Need to come back to New England roots, next time your out this way love to meet up! Go Pats!

☝🏽🙌🏽❤️🙏🏽💪🏽

God bless you coach, you're definitely a leader's leader. 💯🫡

Truly means a lot! 🙏🏽❤️💪🏽

Godspeed Coach Hines! Thank you for your support and for inspiring me to be a better player and man of God. Some experiences aren't meant to be dissected, they are just to be survived. While they talk, we work. While they doubt, we stack proof. While they watch, we become. Our value does not decrease based upon their inability to see our worth. Some people will never understand what you bring to the table until they see you at another table. As you always say "Stay Strong!" ✝️🇺🇸🏈⚾️🏋‍♂️🏃‍♂️💪🔥🙌🙏

☝🏽🙌🏽🔥🙏🏽💪🏽

I did the same thing two years ago. It will recharge your batteries. It will also give you perspective. This time allows you to put your time in other avenues. For me it was my marriage and my kids. Enjoy the time coach. Well deserved

Truly means a lot, thank you!

God speed!

Thank you! 🙏🏽❤️💪🏽

I’m very proud of all the guidance you have provided throughout the years. Wishing you the very best.

Truly means a lot. 🙏🏽❤️💪🏽

Enjoy the reset. Isaiah 40:31

Thank you!

Yessir Brotha!

Nothing wrong with it

🙏🏽❤️💪🏽

Wishing you the best, whatever God calls you to do next, it will be great I'm sure!

Thank you @pjmellana!

Enjoy. 🙏🏻

Thank you! 🙏🏽❤️💪🏽

Coach, I’m right there with you. After 21 years of coaching, I will be taking a year off as well. God has a plan for both of us!!! Keep up the great content!

Praying that it’s a greater blessing for you and your family than you could ever imagine!

God bless you Coach!

Thank you my friend!

I have the exact same crossroad in my career. I decided this year after coaching since 2008 that I was gonna take a year off to focus on health, happiness & home. I’ve already started building a garden and eating healthier & just make life better. My goal is to lose another 80lbs

Let’s go! 🙏🏽❤️💪🏽

Small update I’d like to share. The Head Coach job at the school I work at is now available after the coach last season resigned out of the blue so I am going to apply. However, if it isn’t meant to be than I will enjoy that year off focusing on 3H’s.. health, happy & home

Praying for you! Keep me posted. 🙏🏽❤️💪🏽

Thank you and definitely will. I am wrapping up work on my paperwork to get ready to submit.

Just wanted to share an update. Got the phone call that my interview is scheduled for Thursday Afternoon for the head coaching job at Organ Mountain High School in Las Cruces, NM.

🙏🏽❤️💪🏽

Enjoy it. Very deserved!

🙏🏽❤️💪🏽

Goodluck Coach…I have been doing this for 20+ years I am not even sure what the fall actually is without football 😆

Thank you. And I completely understand. Having coached for 28+ years now, it’s going to be a completely new experience!

Apple picking is in your future coach
