James Franklin started preparing to be a head coach long before anyone gave him the job. Every summer, he built out his own head coaching manual. When search firms started getting his name into coaching searches, he interviewed at Northern Illinois and Iowa State. He didn’t land either job.... show more

James Franklin told me he still remembers one small gesture from his interview at Northern Illinois. Former NIU AD and current ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips gave Franklin Husky stuffed animals for his daughters after the interview. It was a simple act, but it stuck with him. Now, Franklin tries to create those same moments for other people because it’s often the little things that leave the biggest impression ⬇️ @NextUpBreneman x PrizePicks

James Franklin said he is going to be a different version of himself at Virginia Tech. According to Ethan Grunkemeyer, that change has been obvious from day one. Franklin has brought a different level of energy that’s spread throughout the entire program. Grunkemeyer said you can tell Franklin is coaching with a chip on his shoulder, and the team has embraced that mindset. ⬇️⬇️ Next Up with Adam Breneman x PrizePicks

After being fired from FIU, Dennis Smith wrestled with taking a junior college job that paid just $8,500 a year. He burned through his savings, lived as cheaply as possible & poured everything he had into football. Looking back, he told me it was one of the best experiences of his career because it allowed him to focus entirely on the game he loved. That stop helped him climb back through the coaching ranks and ultimately played a major role in him ending up at Miami⬇️ Next Up with Adam Breneman x PrizePicks

The people that worked with Alex Pretti gave him a final send off at the hospital that he worked at as a VA ICU nurse where he was loved and respected by everyone that knew him and worked with him! The nurses there said he was an Angel and gave his heart and soul to his job!

I sat down with new Virginia Tech head coach James Franklin & this one did not disappoint. I played for Coach Franklin, so I know him well… and watching him build a program from the ground up again has been awesome. This was NOT a surface level interview… We talked about why he took the Virginia Tech Football job, what went wrong at Penn State & what he wishes could’ve ended differently He opened up about pressure, criticism, leadership & how his definition of success has evolved. You’re going to see a different side of James Franklin in this one!! OUT NOW.!

“He don’t deserve that because we didn’t get it like that.” Deion Sanders reveals why college coaches were mad that he got head coaching positions at Jackson State and Colorado, saying they felt he skipped the line and didn’t put in enough work, and then Deion Sanders asks the question: If a person played 5 or 14 years in the NFL, what is that equivalent to in coaching? Also, Deion Sanders reacts to a hypothetical scenario about sports news outlets breaking a story that Peyton Manning got an NFL head coaching job, expressing that he believes people wouldn’t question Peyton Manning getting the head coaching job but would question a Ray Lewis or Ed Reed if they got NFL head coaching jobs.

I know following Nick Saban as head coach is difficult, but it’s not about his aura. It’s about his actual production. When he got to LSU he wasn’t the Nick Saban we know now. He was a former Michigan State head coach who took a job in a great place that didn’t have great players. He turned that program into the best job in the world. He did the same for Bama. Thats what you have to live up to. That’s what Kalen DeBoer is dealing with now! #FirstTake #KalenDeBoer #NickSaban #CollegeFootballPlayoffs

Kobe's former teammate Nick Van Exel says people need to STOP saying Mamba Menality and speaks on how the airballs made him better "He shot those two airballs, he walked out with his head up.

"I think you stick with Bobby, first of all, you got a coach that wants to be there... You have to allow him to cook the Thanksgiving meal with his recipe, with his seasoning, because when he did it, we ate well." Former Razorback Madre Hill says he thinks Bobby Petrino should be the Razorbacks next head coach at the LR Touchdown Club today. #WPS

It didn’t sit well with me that yesterday I so quickly started focusing on the next head coach of the Buffalo Bills when the former one did enough to deserve a proper sendoff. Sean McDermott didn’t win it all, but he left this team in a heck of a better place than he found it.

Coaching requires holding your most talented players accountable when their actions negatively affect the team. In preparation for the 2008 Olympics, Kobe Bryant, the Captain of the USA Basketball Team, started to play in a manner that was hurting the group. LeBron James and Dwayne Wade looked at their Head Coach, Coach K, and asked him what he would do about it. Coach K said, “I’ll take care of it.” He didn’t want to confront the legendary superstar, but he knew it was necessary. This is how he handled it…

His teacher beat him so badly he never went back to school. 🙏🇬🇧 He had a speech impediment. He couldn't even say his own name. He invented the modern world. Michael Faraday. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 Son of a blacksmith. His family went hungry. No education. No prospects. Nothing. At fourteen he got a job binding books. And he read everything he could. He found an article on electricity. It changed everything. 📚⚡️ He built his own experiments from old bottles and scrap wood. A customer gave him a ticket to a science lecture. He went. He sat. He took notes. Three hundred pages. He bound them himself. And sent them to the lecturer. The lecturer hired him. In 1821, he invented the electric motor. In 1831, the electric generator. Then the transformer. A bookbinder's apprentice gave the world electricity. Every light in your house. Every hospital. Every factory. Everything that runs on electricity exists because of him. They offered him a knighthood. He refused. They asked him to build chemical weapons. He refused. They offered him burial in Westminster Abbey. He refused. He had always loved science more than money. He started the Christmas Lectures for children. They're still running today. Albert Einstein kept three portraits on his study wall. Newton. Maxwell. And Faraday. Einstein said: "England has always produced the best physicists." A blacksmith's son. Beaten out of school. Couldn't speak his own name. He gave the world electricity. Then asked for nothing in return. Be part of us. Be Proud Of Us. 🇬🇧
