SMU head coach Rhett Lashlee on the ACC and perception of the conference: “When it comes to our league… there’s only been 3 leagues to win a National Championship, that have those teams in their league right now, since 1990. All the teams that have won a National Championship since 1990 are either in the ACC, the SEC, or the Big Ten… In the last 15 years, we’re tied for the 2nd most championships with 3 with the Big Ten. I don’t why that’s not talked about more.” “I don’t think there’s any question that if [the CFP] stayed at 12, we’re every year a multi-bid league. Miami should’ve been in last year at 10-2, there’s no question they were one of the top 12 teams in America.”

Tuskegee head men's basketball coach Benjy Taylor was handcuffed and escorted out of the gym following the Golden Tigers' loss to Morehouse Saturday. In a statement Taylor says "I am at a loss for words and I am upset about how I was violated and treated today. For my players, my family and people of Tuskegee to witness that is heartbreaking for me. I was simply trying to get the football team out of the handshake line as they were following right behind me and the team yelling obscenities! It was a very dangerous situation. A Tuskegee spokesperson tells me coach Taylor was particularly concerned about people without jerseys being on the court. Taylor did get on the bus with the team to return to Alabama following the game and incident. I've reached out to Morehouse to see if they have a statement as well.

I VEHEMENTLY disagree with Paul Finebaum’s criticism of Coach Deion Sanders, Sheduer Sanders and Colorado. He called them irrelevant and that they don’t matter to College Football. That couldn’t be further from the truth. Colorado is very relevant and broke TV viewership records last year even after their 3-0 start that saw them finish the year 4-8. They out drew some of the biggest brands in all of College Football last year. Their blowout loss to Oregon had 10.03 million viewers, which topped the Notre Dame-Ohio State game. Shedeur Sanders stated that Colorado is everyone’s Super Bowl game when they play them. HE IS CORRECT, if you take the time to understand what he meant. Every team that played Colorado last year played their hardest against them because they knew everyone was watching and it was their opportunity to shine in front of the masses. It wasn’t JUST ABOUT winning, they wanted to humiliate them and kill their confidence. It pains many that Coach Prime, his sons, Travis Hunter, his coaches and all his players are still walking in their purpose and have never wavered for a second. They know the mission they are on and won’t back down in the face of adversity. Colorado wasn’t an “Easy win” last year for anyone except Oregon and Washington State. 5 of their 8 losses were by one score or less. Colorado making the College Football Playoff AT SOME POINT in Deion Sanders’ tenure would be a great thing for College Football. Not just for the increased viewership, but because taking a program that last won a Conference Championship when Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter weren’t even born yet would be an incredible accomplishment and rebuild. Colorado doesn’t have to go to the College Football Playoff this year and will still be relevant. Teams will be jumping out of their skin to get after them a little extra because they think they are too confident. Coaches will up the passion because they believe they deserve the attention and eyeballs that Coach Prime and Colorado demand. Like Coach Prime said, he is analyzed different and his wins are measured differently. One thing is for sure though. Coach Prime is building something at Colorado and as an analyst, I don’t think we should be trying kick him and his team down because they are confident and believe in themselves. They are great for College Football because they are different. Different might make people uncomfortable, but that doesn’t mean it’s wrong. Here is our full First Take segment together where Paul Finebaum speaks his mind and I speak mine too.

🏈 🔥 WATCH all the way through the end of this video to see spirited high school football players at South County High School exercise their civic duty to speak up for celebrated football coach Gerry Pannoni, who just lost his coaching job in a case of alleged retaliation in Fairfax County Public Schools. What’s more: FCPS allegedly shut down the South County football program and let go ALL of the coaches until a new coach is named and removed access to coach access to Hudl, a video platform, hurting students who are being recruited by colleges. In June 2024, I began reporting a local high school story for the Fairfax County Times Pearl Project with sports reporter G, and it became Virginia’s biggest youth sports scandal: controversial recruiting practices at Hayfield Secondary School in Fairfax County Virginia that led to a wider community reckoning on the issue of integrity in sports and calls for the resignation of fcpssupt Michelle Reid for her mishandling of the case. Today, at South County High School in Lorton, Va., about 300 football players, athletes and students streamed out of Door No. 1 at 2 PM to march on Laurel Crest Drive, shouting, “Reinstate Coach P.” Last year, Pannoni and other coaches raised red flags about alleged recruitment problems at Hayfield, and the school district official told coach Pannoni on Friday that he had lost his job. Parents and coaches say they are hearing that Reid is allegedly planning to retaliate against all the coaches for embarrassing her. FCPS denies the charge. FCPS sent a media relations officer to follow the march. He sat in the back of an FCPS security cruiser. FCPS Superintendent Reid investigated Pannoni for an audio tape with parents, indelicately describing the Hayfield recruiting as akin to “grooming.” We have learned that the principal had allegedly told Pannoni that students didn’t feel “safe”around the coach. The students I interviewed reveal a different story: speaking about Pannoni’s positive impact on their lives. “We love Coach Pannoni,” said many a student. This story speaks to wider issues about transparency, accountability, and integrity in both governance and school districts. Today, high school students spoke out when the issue touched their lives very personally, speaking up with clarity for a coach they respect. At the end, you will hear some students ask me who I am and I softly introduce myself with the Fairfax County Times. One calls us heroes for documenting this story and investigating its details. We are not heroes, but the story speaks to the heroic mission of local journalism in bringing truth to communities, from South County High School to beyond. We couldn’t report it without brave whistleblowers. Read all of our coverage here:

I was going to hold off until Easter week to play this song which was recorded by my beautiful wife. But with the relentless attacks on Christianity by the same demons who promote Eid while trying to cancel Easter l said I would put It out today. So many people who heard this last year were overcome with such emotion that it moved them to tears. Me included. Laurie's voice is a gift from God which she in turn uses to praise Him & continue His message. I owe absolutely everything to Him which is why l will be eternally grateful for His sacrifice & all the good He brought to my life particularly my wife, Our precious children & my beloved family & friends. I am also thankful for every trial & tribulation He sent to test me because it has truly made me the man that l am today. I feel that He chose certain people for this battle who carry invisible scars from what life has thrown at them but kept getting back up each & every time they were knocked down because quitting was & is never an option. I have not a shred of embarrassment speaking about Christ & my love for Him so openly. This world is in the satanic state that it's in because so so many turned away from God & accepted the Devil in countless materialistic & debaucherous forms. When you turn back to Him & truly accept Him as your Lord & Saviour it is such a happier & fulfilling life that there are no words to express the love that fills your heart & the spirit that uplifts your very soul. I am strengthened & fortified because of His blood which was spilled for all of our salvation & because of this l FEAR NO MAN OR DEVIL IN HELL. Some people are so poor all they have is money. I am truly rich because God chose to bless me with an incredible wife & beautiful children who l live & breathe for. They are my whole world & there's absolutely nothing I wouldn't do to protect them & keep them Safe. Family is everything in this life. TRUE BRAVERY IS FOLLOWING CHRIST IN A WORLD THAT HATES HIM. Islam will never replace Christianity in God's country & Christ will never be cancelled no matter how much those demons try. Our God died on the cross for our sins. Allah expects his followers to die for a sick ideology which advocates for child rape & marriage. It should be banned throughout the world. Please share this beautiful song with fellow Christians at home & worldwide. Wishing you all a truly wonderful, Peaceful & Blessed Easter. "He is Risen" CHRIST IS KING. God bless you & yours🙌🤝🇮🇪 Credit - Video Cody Power.

During his tenure coaching Alabama Men’s Basketball, Winfrey “Wimp” Sanderson entertained fans with a scowl that intimidated the most veteran officials all while donned in his trademark plaid sportscoat. Today the coach, who made plaid as engrained with Alabama basketball as houndstooth is with Alabama football, celebrates another birthday. And while Wimp Sanderson declined offering his actual age, he provided this point of reference instead. “You could take two SEC coaches, add their ages together and I’m still older,” Sanderson joked earlier this week. However, these last few months have been some of the most difficult in his life with the passing of his beloved wife, Annette, earlier this spring. The high school sweethearts had been married for 67 years, and she traveled with him on a coaching adventure that started in Carbon Hill and ended in Little Rock, Ark. Perhaps the biggest tribute to Sanderson’s career is the number of former players and staff that returned for the funeral services of Annette in early May. After settling in Birmingham following his retirement from coaching, Sanderson made the decision to move one more time this past summer and returned to Tuscaloosa to be closer to his youngest son, Barry, and his family. The two still produce and host their radio show “Inside the Locker Room” on Tide 100.9 FM | WTBC 1230 AM every weekday morning from 7 – 9 a.m. Sanderson coached one year at Carbon Hill High School then joined Hayden Riley’s staff at Alabama in 1960. He remained an assistant for Riley and later C.M. Newton, before being named the 16th Alabama head coach in 1980. During his 12-year run when Coleman Coliseum became known as the “Plaid Palace,” the Crimson Tide won five SEC Tournament championships, one SEC regular-season championship and reached the Sweet Sixteen in the NCAA Tournament six times. His legacy is renewed every season when the “Crimson Chaos” president is sworn in and bestowed a plaid sportscoat.

19 years ago, a high school basketball coach put his team manager into a game for the final four minutes. The kid had never played a single minute of competitive basketball in his life. He scored 20 points. Jason McElwain was diagnosed with severe autism at age two. He didn’t speak until he was five. He couldn’t chew solid food until he was six. He wore a nappy for most of his early childhood. As a baby, he was rigid, wouldn’t make eye contact, and hid in corners away from other children. He tried out for his school basketball team every year and got cut every time. Too small. Too slight. Barely 5’6 and about 54 kilograms. But he loved the game so much that his mum called the school and asked if there was any way he could be involved. The coach created a team manager role for him. For three years, McElwain showed up to every practice and every game. He wore a shirt and tie on match days. He ran drills, handed out water, kept stats, and cheered every basket like he’d scored it himself. On 15 February 2006, the last home game of his final school year, the coach let him suit up in a proper jersey and sit on the bench. With four minutes left and a comfortable lead, the coach sent him in. His first shot missed. His second missed. Then something shifted. He hit a three-pointer. Then another. Then another. His teammates stopped shooting entirely and just kept passing him the ball. He hit six three-pointers and a two-pointer. 20 points in four minutes. The highest scorer in the game. When the final buzzer went, the entire crowd rushed the court and lifted him onto their shoulders. His mum tapped the coach on the shoulder, in tears. “This is the nicest gift you could have ever given my son.” McElwain won the ESPY Award for Best Moment in Sports that year, beating out some of the biggest names in professional sport. He’s 36 now. He works at a local supermarket, coaches basketball, has run 17 marathons including five Boston Marathons, and travels the country speaking about never giving up. When asked about that night, his coach still gets emotional. “For him to come in and seize the moment like he did was certainly more than I ever expected. I was an emotional wreck.”

Death, where is your shame? We laid my mother -Mai Wadzanai to rest this afternoon next to my sister Wadzani under the wings of savanna trees at Nyamadzawo Homestead, located at at the foot of Chengenga hill in Domboshava. I don’t know about the land and times beyond death but I would like to believe that sooner or later she will join and have the company of my grandmother -Mbuya VaNancy who passed away less than two weeks ago. They will pair together and keep each other company as they journey beyond the land of the mortals. I have gone through a lot this year, As some of you might be aware I had a near death experience when a friend and myself were abducted in Durban, South Africa and got released after they took a large sum of money from us and everything we got. Ever since then I have had a series of setbacks. It is by the grace of God that I am still standing. I want to thank everyone who is standing with me in these difficult moments. For the first time in my life I have scheduled an appointment with a therapist so that I get counseling and hear how best can I take care of my mental health. As I go through grief and mourning I want to take time to reflect on all the lessons I got from my mother. I will remember and cherish her kindness. She is the most selfless person I have ever met. RIP Mamoyo. Tionane kana Mwari achida.

#WATCH | Delhi | Counsel for Indian cricket team head coach Gautam Gambhir, Advocate Jai Anant Dehadrai says, "I am extremely grateful to the Delhi High Court for quashing this absolutely baseless, meaningless, frivolous criminal case that had been filed against my client, Mr Gambhir. We all know that Gautam Gambhir is a national icon. He's served this country in various capacities...During the Covid period, from his own funds and savings, he provided timely medical help to the city's poorest citizens. He provided life-saving drugs, he provided oxygen, and unfortunately, some political opponents of his who were running the government in Delhi at the time, the Delhi government, obviously, didn't like that, which is why perhaps they decided to file criminal proceedings against him, his foundation and members of his family.

But I'm very happy that today justice and truth both have prevailed..."

#WATCH | Delhi | Counsel for Indian cricket team head coach Gautam Gambhir, Advocate Jai Anant Dehadrai says, "I am extremely grateful to the Delhi High Court for quashing this absolutely baseless, meaningless, frivolous criminal case that had been filed against my client, Mr Gambhir. We all know that Gautam Gambhir is a national icon. He's served this country in various capacities...During the Covid period, from his own funds and savings, he provided timely medical help to the city's poorest citizens. He provided life-saving drugs, he provided oxygen, and unfortunately, some political opponents of his who were running the government in Delhi at the time, the Delhi government, obviously, didn't like that, which is why perhaps they decided to file criminal proceedings against him, his foundation and members of his family. So we had come to challenge that in the High Court, and ultimately the matter came to be heard, and I am extremely satisfied with the outcome, though I'm yet to read the detailed order; it hasn't been uploaded yet. But I'm very happy that today justice and truth both have prevailed..."

🚨 | 𝐉𝐈𝐍 𝐉𝐎𝐍𝐆-𝐎𝐇 𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐒 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐈𝐆𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐎𝐅 𝐊𝐅𝐀 𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐏 Olympic legend and National assembly member Jin Jong-oh held a press conference today calling for the entire leadership of the KFA to resign and demanding a full investigation into the appointment process of head coach Hong. Here's the entire translated speech. It's worth the read and also a good primer for those unfamiliar with the problems/corruption of the KFA: "To the people of Korea, football fans, and my fellow lawmakers, I can barely contain my anger. What we are feeling today goes far beyond disappointment—it is devastation. The catastrophic collapse of Korean football at this World Cup was not an accident. It was a tragedy that many saw coming. First and foremost, I want to express my deepest respect and gratitude to our national team players, who gave everything they had on the field. We will never forget your sacrifice, your effort, and your commitment to representing our nation. However, Head Coach Hong Myung-bo, who failed to deliver, and the Korea Football Association, which protected him as a shield to preserve its own power, must now face judgment without excuses. In September 2024, I warned that the appointment of Hong Myung-bo was the product of backroom deals and organized collusion. Yet the Korea Football Association ignored those warnings. It refused to cooperate fully with parliamentary investigations, withheld documents, and misled both the National Assembly and the Korean people. When football fans demanded answers, Chairman Chung Mong-gyu and the entrenched leadership of the KFA responded not with accountability, but with arrogance. They shut out the voices of the people and acted as though they were beyond criticism. Two years ago, they attempted to cover up the crisis by sacrificing a few individuals while leaving the system itself untouched. That arrogance allowed a broken structure to remain in place, and today we have witnessed the inevitable result: Korean football has become the subject of ridicule on the world stage. But let me be clear. This is not a problem that can simply be solved by the resignations of Chairman Chung Mong-gyu and Coach Hong Myung-bo alone. As Park Ji-sung and commentator Park Moon-sung have both lamented, as long as an entrenched cartel that values power over competence continues to dominate Korean football, there is no future for the sport—not even one percent. Let me repeat that. This crisis cannot be resolved through symbolic resignations. The Korea Sports Council must also accept responsibility. No one should be allowed to use the resignation of a chairman or head coach as an excuse to avoid uncovering the full truth or escaping accountability. Even if it means enduring a difficult period while preparing for next year's Asian Cup, the only path forward is the complete dismantling of the Korea Football Association's current structure and rebuilding it from the ground up. Therefore, I strongly call for the following. First, everyone under Chairman Chung Mong-gyu's leadership must immediately resign and accept full responsibility for both this disaster and the subsequent cover-up. Second, everyone involved in Hong Myung-bo's appointment must fully disclose the truth about the backroom negotiations, illegal practices, and unfair procedures that surrounded the hiring process, and cooperate without exception in a thorough and impartial investigation. Third, I call on the government and the Korea Sports Council to immediately launch a comprehensive special audit of the Korea Football Association. Everyone connected to this entrenched system of privilege and favoritism must be held fully accountable under both the law and administrative regulations. Disasters are not repeated by chance. They are repeated when corrupt systems are allowed to remain untouched. We must take Korean football back from the hands of corrupt institutions and return it to where it belongs—with the Korean people. I, too, will not back down. I will continue to fight for a full investigation without sacred cows and for genuine reform. Finally, together with the Sports Corruption Reporting Center, I will establish a dedicated Korea Football Association Corruption Reporting Center to receive reports of misconduct related to the KFA. To root out opaque administration and corruption, and to rebuild Korean football on a foundation of transparency and integrity, I ask for the courage of the Korean people and football fans to come forward with information. Thank you." 🫡🇰🇷

Most here know, some don't. In late 2012, during my senior year at Oregon, I'd become so heavily inspired by the Seattle Seahawks' ascent under Pete Carroll and now legendary Legion of Boom that I decided I'd begin teaching myself how to edit video and telling their story. It marked the beginning of a long-form, fan-made series that I dedicated the next four years to, driven by a lofty dream of someday working in the NFL. Since that day, I've been extremely fortunate to experience many full-circle moments, including the opportunity to work with Pete Carroll and most recently, the Houston Texans. A few weeks ago, I experienced yet another. Up in Seattle, there's a feeling that we're often overlooked and disrespected by the sports world. For many years, Richard Sherman was our voice. He embodied the passion, energy and spirit of the fan base in Seattle. Beyond that, he played a major part in inspiring me to document their story and begin pursuing a career in pro sports in the first place. Here I am, roughly 13 years later, filming BTS of his conversation with two parts of another elite secondary in Calen Bullock and Kamari Lassiter. Another surreal, full-circle moment in what has become the journey of a lifetime. LIFE!

Once I put those shoulder pads on...it was like I was going to war.” Andre Johnson From the University of Miami to the NFL Hall of Fame, Andre Johnson may be soft spoken but he’s one of the hardest of all time to step on the field.

🕯️Remembering Michael Coleman, R.I.P 🕯️ Galway GAA are deeply saddened at the sudden and untimely passing of the former Galway Hurling Captain Michael Coleman of the Abbeyknockmoy HC Club. Michael represented Galway with distinction at Minor, Intermediate and Senior levels. He won an All-Ireland Under 21 Hurling title with Galway in 1983. He went on to play a starring role at midfield when Galway retained the All-Ireland Senior title against Tipperary in 1988. In an Intercounty career spanning over 10 years, Michael also won three National League Titles including captaining the winning Galway team in 1996. His contribution on the National stage was recognised by his selection on three All-Star hurling teams in 1989, 1990 and 1995. Michael also represented University College Galway in the Fitzgibbon Cup as well as being the star of the St. Jarlath's College team that narrowly lost the Connacht Senior B Post Primary Hurling Final in 1981. Michael took great pride in his club and was an important part of the Abbeyknockmoy team which won the Galway Senior Hurling Championship in 1988. When his playing days were over his commitment to the club was unwavering: serving as mentor, coach and officer over the years. Michael was also active within Báireoirí Na Gaillimhe, a group consisting of former Galway hurlers. Michael was coach with the Leitrim Senior Hurlers when they claimed the Lory Meagher Cup in 2019. Outside of the GAA, Michael was a committed community activist involving himself in many activities within the locality. He will be sorely missed by the Galway GAA community. Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with his wife Mary, daughter Sinead and son Dara, his extended family, the Abbeyknockmoy Hurling club and community at this incredibly difficult time. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis Funeral arrangements as follows: Grant me O Lord, a hurler’s skill, With strength of arm and speed of limb Unerring eye for the flying ball And courage to match whate’er befall May my stroke be steady, and my aim be true My actions manly and my misses few No matter what way the game may go May I rest in friendship with every foe When the final whistle for me has blown And I stand at last before God’s judgement throne May the great referee when he calls my name Say, you hurled like a man; you played the game.

SUNDAY MOTIVATION... Prophet Makandiwa, from the very first day of your ministry until today, beyond any reasonable doubt you have remained a remarkable example of integrity, humility, and faithfulness. In a world where many leaders are often surrounded by controversy, your name has remained clean. There have been no scandals, no accusations of dishonesty, no rumors of taking what belongs to others, and no stories that have tarnished your reputation. Instead, your ministry has continued to grow from strength to strength because of your unwavering commitment to preaching the Gospel and serving God's people with sincerity. That is something truly admirable and worthy of honor. With THE WAY I WAS RAISED, I fear the Almighty God , and I respect all his servants. I WILL NEVER ever stand against a prophet, a pastor or any leader whom God has called. For the record I have absolutely nothing against you and it's all water under the bridge. Life is too short to dwell on the past when we can focus on building the Kingdom of God so today, my heart is filled with gratitude and thanksgiving. Mwari kudenga ngavakudzwe !!! Prophet Emmanuel Makandiwa , your sermon last weekend touched my heart. I was humbled beyond words when you mentioned my name and publicly acknowledged me and appreciated the charity work that I continue to do for the people. Those words meant a lot to me and for the many years I have watched your ministry grow from humble beginnings into a mighty work that is changing lives. Your dedication, consistency, and commitment to preaching the Gospel continues to inspire many of us. MAY GOD CONTINUE TO INCREASE YOU !!! I am also grateful that you will now accept my gifts and i hope that position doesn't change. I also want to tap into the GRACE hundreds of thousands of your followers are enjoying. Let me make one thing VERY CLEAR whenever i donate to Churches it's NOT ABOUT A MAN but it's ABOUT THE WORK OF GOD. You spoke about construction so i will gladly donate US$1 MILLION for the development of this church and for the vision you shared of building God's house. It is my joy and privilege to stand with that vision. In addition, I am honored to notify you that last week i bought you a BRAND-NEW 2026 ROLLS-ROYCE CULLINAN FACELIFT, and I also intend to bless your beloved wife with a BRAND-NEW MERCEDES-BENZ G-WAGON a colour of her choice. Tinoti kana Mwari vakomborera munhu, vanokomborera kuti ave chikomborero kune vamwe. ALL GLORY BELONGS TO GOD!!! The Bible says, "God loves a cheerful giver" (2 Corinthians 9:7). I believe there is no greater investment than investing in the Kingdom of God. NGATIVAKEI KEREKE. NGATITSIGIREI BASA RAMWARI. May the Lord continue to protect you, strengthen you, and take your ministry to even greater heights. CONGRATULATIONS, PROPHET EMMANUEL. THE BEST IS YET TO COME. MWARI VARAMBE VACHIKUKOMBORERAI ZVIKURU!!!🙏🙏🙏

After six unforgettable years, the time has come to say goodbye. Manchester City has been so much more than just a football club to me, it has been my home. Together, we’ve shared incredible moments and won 12 trophies, creating memories that will stay with me forever. But beyond the success on the pitch, it’s the moments in my personal life that have made this city so special. I lost my dad here, one of the hardest moments of my life. I got married while playing for this club, and we’ve been blessed with two beautiful children during our time here. Manchester will always hold a special place in my heart because so much of my life has happened here. To all my teammates over the years the manager and the staff, thank you for every moment we shared and every memory we made. We’ve made history together that will never be forgotten! thank you for taking care of me and my family and for making us feel at home from day one. And to the fans thank you. Thank you for your incredible support through the highest highs and the toughest lows. I will always be grateful for the way you embraced me and my family. It’s never easy to say goodbye to a place that has given you so much, but I leave with nothing but gratitude and memories that will last a lifetime. Manchester will always feel like home. Thank you for everything. 🩵

Here's Pete Carroll in his endless wisdom with an AMAZING take on how to handle your haters, overcome adversity and manage self doubt on the journey to your own personal greatness: "They didn't know how great he was... maybe they don't know how great I can be either." In one of the lowest moments of his coaching career, Pete Carroll couldn't sleep. He'd taken a risk becoming the New England Patriots head coach knowing the massive expectations would be hard to match and it wasn't trending the right direction in his 3rd season at the helm. He feared his young career as a head coach may already be over. At 3 a.m. that sleepless night, he turned on the TV and happened to catch a movie about Babe Ruth... In the scene, Boston fans relentlessly booed Ruth after he had been traded to the Yankees. It's in that moment, watching a fanbase annihilate the greatest baseball player of all time, in which Coach Carroll credits gaining a perspective that changed the remainder of his coaching career: "They didn't know how great he was... maybe they don't know how great I can be either." He made a promise to himself going forward, regardless of where he coached, that instead of changing who he was to satisfy the critics, he would double down on the standards, beliefs, and culture he believed would help his team succeed. He went on to win multiple national championships with USC Football ✌️ and a Super Bowl with the Seattle Seahawks: 🧭 Most people can't evaluate potential, they can only evaluate evidence. Great leaders often see the destination long before anyone else does. If you constantly adjust your convictions to earn short-term approval, you'll never stay with an idea long enough for it to become extraordinary. 🌱 Build your organization around principles, not popularity. If your standards are rooted in serving others, developing people, and advancing the mission... NOT feeding your ego, don't bend simply because they're misunderstood. The greatest cultures are almost always questioned before they're respected. ⏳ History usually arrives late. The same people who doubt your vision today may celebrate it tomorrow. Your job isn't to convince everyone you're right. Your job is to keep becoming the leader your team needs so that the outcomes become positive and sustainable. Nobody knows how great you can become except you. Protect that vision. Stay true to your standards. Build it YOUR way. If your mission is bigger than your ego and your work consistently serves others, time has a remarkable way of revealing what criticism could never recognize.

If your mission is bigger than your ego and your work consistently serves others, time has a remarkable way of revealing what criticism could never recognize.
