In his book, Tony La Russa details an obscure off-boarding process that he carried out at the end of every season. "I can’t claim this idea as my own. Bill Walsh shared it with me," he writes. I wrote about it here: codyroyle.substack.com/p/ton…

Rick Pitino shares a masterclass on teamwork and selflessness. "Regardless of how you play, when you play for the name on the front, the back prospers." "When you play for the name on the back, you never prosper. All you are is guys with good stats. That's it." Stats don't win championships - teams do. "Play for the front. Give everything you have for the front name." "Do everything - from diving on the floor, to blocking shots, to setting screens, to playing together. Play for the name on the front." Great teams play for each other. They know connected teams achieve more. "The name on the front is gonna bring big rewards for the name on the back. I guarantee it." "Give it everything you have for this name." The formula is simple: Put the team first, and everything else follows. Play for the front. The back will take care of itself. (🎥St. Johns )

Here are 22 of Buster Faulkner's best play calls over the last couple years:
Midway through 1997, Parkview's coach moved his starting QB to receiver and gave the job to a JV kid. That sophomore won the state title. Today he's Florida's OC. 🧵THREAD

40 years ago today on 9/27/86, with Georgia leading South Carolina by five and running out the clock, QB James Jackson does what Vince Dooley calls “the most interesting thing” he’s ever seen. Fortunately, it’s six years before defenses can advance such fumbles. UGA wins, 31-26.

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Ray Lamb. The impact he had on Commerce High School and the community cannot be overstated. Coach Lamb was more than just a great football coach, but a great man. Our thoughts are with the Lamb family. Rest easy, Coach
