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.
