Previous Coaching
Here is where I want to explain myself for November of 2023. As an Assistant Coach I should have never been put into a situation like that ( I will never handle a situation like that as a head coach). I am open to discussing this matter. In the past 5 years I was not 1 time in the AD's office for anything. I could no longer coach or be involved with what was happening any longer. I stepped away because of the toxic environment I was in. I was going to leave the program before that from other situations I did not approve of & did not want to be associated with. I want to start over with a clean slate - away from the other guys! My letters of recommendation are attached from previous players, current players, coaches, & mentors!
