Today, my good friend Colt McCoy joins me for a deep and personal discussion about his path from small-town Texas to 14 seasons in the NFL, the mentors and moments that shaped him, and the intentional process of stepping away from the game. We talk through his early years growing up on the sidelines, the day he went from being a complete unknown to over 100 Division 1 offers, and the mindset he built while earning the starting job and leading Texas to the National Championship. Colt reflects on the physical and emotional toll of the 2009 title-game injury, the realities of NFL life, and the teammates, coaches, and owners who influenced him most. He also opens up about the year-long discernment process that led him to retire, move his family to Fort Worth, and build a new career in real estate. We discuss: • Colt’s early upbringing around football and how it shaped his identity • Winning the starting job, leading Texas for four seasons, and the highs and lows along the way • The 2009 national championship injury and its lasting impact • Lessons from 14 years in the NFL, including leadership, longevity, and adapting his game • His decision to retire, prioritize family, and pursue a new path in Fort Worth real estate • The role of faith, patience, and discernment in navigating major life transitions 3:10 - The realities of working for ESPN and calling games 11:35 - Colt’s earliest memories of football 18:51 - The impact of Colt’s dad 23:05 - Earning a scholarship to The University of Texas 34:53 - Colt’s career at UT 47:51 - Colt’s greatest memory at UT 58:00 - The state of College football 59:00 - The Michael Crabtree story 1:04:47 - The toughest environments to play in 1:06:44 - Colt’s NFL career 1:09:17 - The biggest learning curve going from the NCAA to the NFL 1:17:54 - Who’s the best athlete you’ve ever seen? 1:19:23 - What Colt misses the most about being in the NFL 1:21:18 - Who’s the scariest player you’ve gone up against? 1:23:47 - What was the hardest hit you’ve ever taken? 1:26:31 - The decision to leave the NFL and life after football

3 Reasons there aren’t more Black Head Coaches in the NFL. -Circumstance -Comfortability -Access It’s not a coincidence. The NFL Head Coaching fraternity is hard to break into with the amount of great coaching candidates, nepotism and back scratching that occurs that makes it tough for former players to break into the profession and climb to positions that are coveted for Head Coaching jobs. Often times owners and front office executives want to hire the people who are the best for the job, but are also the ones they are most comfortable with because they look like them, have the same or similar life experiences so they connect better with them and who they want to go golfing with. BUT ACCESS is the issue that has clear examples of how black players don't get the same treatment in coaching circles. That’s not an opinion. It’s a fact. Take a look at Quarterbacks after they finish their playing career. Some go from playing to QB coach to Offensive Coordinator to head coach conversations quickly. The fast track is real for some players. Kellen Moore went from playing to QB Coach to Offensive Coordinator in 2 years after retiring and became the New Orleans Saints Head coach 8 years after retiring. Kevin O’Connell went from playing to coaching in 2015, was an OC in 4 years by 2019 and the Minnesota Vikings Head Coach in 7 years by 2022. FAST TRACK Philadelphia Eagles OC Sean Mannion and Washington Commanders OC David Blough both went from playing to NFL Coaching staffs and OC in 3 years. FAST TRACK. We’ve seen Black quarterbacks go into coaching in this same pipeline like Byron Leftwich who became an NFL coach in 2016 as a coaching intern and was the OC of the Buccaneers by 2019. But despite winning a Super Bowl with Tom Brady, he never got a chance to be an NFL Head Coach. Why? Did he bomb the interview? Or was he just not in the right circumstance, where he made the right people comfortable or had the proper connections to determine his access. Right now if you are on Sean Mcvay's staff you are a walking head coach in waiting. All 4 of his last OCs are head coaches. -Liam Coen -Mike Lafluer -Matt Lafluer -Kevin O'Connell Because they were the best men for the job, great coaches, had the right circumstance, made the right people comfortable, and had the right conections to get access to the job. Seneca Wallace, Jason Campbell, Cleo Lemon, Randall Cunningham. Why didn't they get the same opportunity after their playing days? It’s not just a coincidence. Maybe they didn’t want to be a coach because of the long 20 year cycle they would be presented with to get to the top of the profession that is standard for most. But if you told any of them they would be an OC in 3 years or less and a Head Coach in 8 years or less. ALL OF THEM WOULD TAKE IT. But they never had access to that Fast Track pipeline. The NFL cant say we want the best leaders’ while recycling the same leader profile. And if the NFL is truly a meritocracy, then the pipeline should reflect merit, not comfort. Not ‘who looks like the last guy we trusted.’ Not who gets the benefit of the doubt for being associated with family lineages. In a league that is 70% black, the leadership should be more representative of the leagues players. There are qualified Head Coaching candidates of all skin colors. They just want a chance to succeed or fail just like their competition when their resumes clearly say they have earned it.

What started as a standard White House announcement quickly turned into one of the most revealing Oval Office moments of the year. Trump was there to declare that Washington, D.C. will host the 2027 NFL Draft. But when reporters started firing off questions, the real fireworks began. First up: immigration. A reporter asked Trump about a new program offering undocumented immigrants $1,000 to self-deport. His answer was blunt—and surprisingly layered. “Yeah, we have millions of people that have come into this country illegally through an administration that didn't know what they were doing. They didn't have a clue. And now we find out officially they didn't, because the president was incompetent. But I could have told you that before.” He explained the idea behind the plan: offer people money to leave—and if they take the offer and prove to be hard-working, they might be allowed back in the right way. “But what we thought we'd do is to self-deport where we're going to pay each one a certain amount of money, and we're going to get him a beautiful flight back to where they came from. And they have a period of time.” “And if they make it, we're going to work with them so that maybe someday, with a little work, they can come back in if they're good people, if they're the kind of people that we want in our company, industrious people that could love our country. And if they're not, they won't. But it will give them a path to becoming, you know, to coming back into the country.” He made it clear that there would be no second chances for those who ignore the opportunity. “So we're going to have, self-deportation, where they deport themselves out of our country, and we'll work with them, and we're going to try. And if if we think they're good, they have, you know, the people we want in our country, they're going to come back into our country. We'll give them a little easier route. But if they don't work and if we take them out after the date, then, they're never coming back.”

Few roles in sports test the emotions quite like coaching in MMA. The fighter may step into the cage a couple times a year, but the coach rides that same storm of emotional gymnastics over and over; heartbreak one moment, triumph the next. Coach John Wood lived that at UFC 320: “That part really sucked. When Khalil was laying down there in a pool of blood, it was definitely heartbreaking. I love that guy. To have to leave that situation was very, very hard…I just told him, ‘I’m so sorry, but I’ve gotta go back. I love you.’ I gave myself that period between the cage and behind the curtain and then it’s a new fight…I will tell you this, I definitely felt those emotions immediately after Merab’s win. I was so happy for Merab, but it definitely felt different.” And that’s exactly why Coach John Kavanagh once explained to Ariel the mindset coaches need to survive these swings: “For the fighter, he might be doing that twice per year, the coach is maybe doing that twice per month. You’re on this rollercoaster. And that’s why I do say to the guys: ‘Whatever happens on Saturday night, I won’t commiserate too hard if you lose, and I won’t celebrate too hard if you win.’” Still, even with that philosophy, the weight can feel lonely. Coach Eric Nicksick said it plain: “No one knows what it’s like to walk in these shoes as an MMA coach…It’s our duty as coaches to stick up for one another because we are the people that people have, but we don’t have anybody really for our selves.” The public sees the belts, the triumphs, the celebrations. What they don’t see is a coach whispering an apology to a fallen fighter before rushing back to lead another into battle. They don’t see the toll of carrying the dreams of fighters who are more like family than friends or business associates. MMA coaches are more than tacticians. They are anchors in chaos, silent shoulders for heartbreak, and the unseen bearers of this sport’s heaviest burdens. Combat sports has the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. For coaches, it is a life of carrying heartbreak and triumph in the same breath. And if you ask them, they’ll tell you they are living and working their dream job, just one far different, and far more of an emotional journey, than most would imagine.

AN ECONOMIC LETTER TO AMERICA A Thanksgiving Message of Truth, Healing, and Our New Dawn Ahead. My fellow Americans, Darkness always precedes the dawn. And make no mistake: our economic dawn is no longer distant, theoretical, or aspirational. It is minutes away. For generations we were told the night was normal. We were told inflation was inevitable, taxes were permanent, debt slavery was necessary, corruption was unstoppable, and the Federal Reserve was the “guardian” of prosperity rather than the greatest wealth-destroying force in human history. But the dawn breaks when truth breaks. And truth has broken through. As we stand at the edge of this turning point - Thanksgiving 2025 - I ask you to look not at what is collapsing, but at what is rising. THE RISING DAWN OF AMERICAN PROSPERITY New industries. New companies. New technologies. New jobs - many tens of millions of them - driven by innovation unimaginable even a decade ago. We are entering an era defined by: • Infinite, creative, explosive job growth • Technological breakthroughs that compress time, cost, complexity, and barriers to entry • 21 trillion (and growing) in new tariff revenues redirected back into the American household rather than siphoned to foreign interests • Personal income tax elimination for most Americans, ending one of the last great chains on the working class • Slashed mortgage and interest rates, restoring housing affordability • Slashed inflation, restoring purchasing power • Lower fuel and energy costs, restoring mobility and freedom • A strong, new, asset-based, trusted U.S. Treasury Dollar, backed by production, sovereignty, and real value And yes - the end of an era defined by the Federal Reserve, a century-long experiment that delivered inflation, debt, death, war financing, and the weaponization of monetary policy against the very people it claimed to serve. The twilight of this new period is not our loss - it is our liberation. WHAT WE ARE REALLY CELEBRATING THIS THANKSGIVING This is not merely an economic shift. It is a spiritual one. It is cultural. It is moral. It is civilizational. We are witnessing the final unwinding of a system that fed on secrecy, deception, extraction, division, and manufactured scarcity. What replaces it is something older than gold, stronger than law, and more enduring than any legislature: the principle that free people, aligned with truth, can prosper without being controlled. This Thanksgiving, let’s not simply give thanks for lower prices or better jobs. May we give thanks because our chains are breaking, and because the truth has outlasted the lies. HEALING THE WOUNDS OF THE PAST We cannot pretend the last decades were easy. They were not. We lived through: • Lies that crippled trust • Fraud that hollowed our institutions • Abuse by those sworn to protect us • Endless war • Debt-based slavery • Cultural vandalism • Manufactured division • The attempted theft of our birthright But here is the deeper truth: we endured. • We did not break. • We kept faith. • We held the line. Now comes the healing. And healing - true healing - requires compassion over vengeance, unity over resentment, gratitude over grievance, hope over fear. If we can look at one another with humility and grace - regardless of politics, class, color, or creed - we will recover fully. We will rebuild wisely. We will prosper freely. THE CALL OF THE DAWN So let this Thanksgiving carry a new confession in the American heart: “We survived the night. And now, together, we rise into the dawn.” May your home be filled with peace. May your family be filled with hope. May your heart be filled with gratitude. And may our nation rediscover the truth written into the very fabric of Divine Law: Light always wins. Truth always returns. And dawn always breaks - no matter how long the night. Love to you all.

THEORY: Did Fanatics’ launch of stitched NFL jerseys for 30 teams reveal 2 teams planning new uniform redesigns in 2027? Connecting the drop with facts & rumors about why the Saints & Dolphins *could* be working on new primary uniforms! 🎥👇 I transcribed my video below, but the key points to consider: - I’m not reporting a redesign, but those I could reach today said my theory makes sense - Prior to this, there was already enough signs & smoke around the Dolphins & Saints considering new uniforms - The 2026 season has been locked since before the 2025 season, this is for 2027 - No one made a mistake, this is just a product of the long uniform process TRANSCRIPT (for those who like to read 😉): I think I might have uncovered something pretty big. You might know I love talking about jerseys, uniforms, sports design, especially in football. And occasionally, I like to report a little news, break some news I find out. Well, yesterday, Fanatics officially announced what I reported back in October, that they're bringing back stitched jerseys for NFL jerseys. But I didn't get excited and start connecting some dots until I noticed that they didn't drop the stitched jerseys for every NFL team. There are two missing. And it got me thinking about everything I've ever reported and said, all my videos I've ever made, and it specifically brought me to three key facts. Fact 1: teams work on new uniform designs for multiple years. My talks and videos with the Falcons and Ravens confirm this. The reason for this, among many reasons, they need to let manufacturers know ahead of time to get the proper materials and to prepare the new designs, both the new ones and to wind down existing ones. Fact 2: that does impact distributors. Retailers are notified as early as a year out to stop ordering and selling certain jerseys if new ones will be replacing it because they don't want to be sitting there with a bunch of unsold jerseys. That brings me to Fact 3. We know that Fanatics has been the NFL's official manufacturer and distributor, the exclusive one, since 2018. Well, the two teams that did not have stitched jerseys dropped with the rest of the league? My Dolphins and the Saints. Now I want to be clear real quick: Fanatics did not mess up. They did not make a mistake. They were simply following the long-winding uniform process that multiple parties are involved in. So why does this raise flags in me that the Saints and Dolphins could be getting new uniforms in 2027? Again, we know how long the process is, but there have been multiple reports about whispers within the Saints organization about new uniform and considerations, possible changes And back in April 2025, when I first reported the Dolphins having internal and external interest in a dark uniform, they also had interest in an orange uniform. So both teams having some whispers, some reported discussions about new uniforms does tell me maybe there is fire with this smoke. And also importantly, I feel like most Dolphins and Saints fans have wanted new uniforms for a while now. Maybe the organizations are listening. Now, I'm not confirming anything. And all of this, I guess, could be a moot point if the Saints and Dolphins quickly drop stitched jerseys for retail… unless we find out it was a rushed reactionary process. Once again, I'm just connecting the dots, but what do you want to see?
