Dear Raider Fan, I cannot explain how excited that my family and I are to be a part of the East Raider Community. Being the head coach at East Paulding is a responsibility I do not take lightly. I will work tirelessly to earn the trust of the players, parents and community. We will build this football program on three core fundamentals: • Academics will be a priority. Expectations in the classroom will be high and good behavior is nonnegotiable. We will celebrate academic achievement, support academic struggles and punish academic failures. • Socially and emotionally, I want our student-athletes to be servant leaders. I believe our society is becoming more and more selfish and I want our players to be the difference; understanding the value of serving others and putting others in front of themselves is the beginning of doing just that. Molding great behavior and manners is paramount. My ideal player is an animal on the field and a gentleman off the field! • Athletically, I believe in fundamental football. Football is a simple game. The guys who blocks and tackles the best are typically victorious. I also expect our boys to play with high level of football IQ. Studying the game, mastery of the playbook and being in the best physical shape will all be expectations of our young men. For the 2017 season our motto is “Win the Day”! Our mantra reminds our players and staff that being successful doesn’t start on the day of the game, it begins every day! Being successful is a combination of winning all the little battles before the competition: at home, in the classroom, weight room, and practice fields. We have also adopted the saying, “Load the Cannon”! This reminds up to prepare for success, expect success and be prepared for when it happens! Finally, I want to say again how excited I am to lead this football program. I will do my absolute very best to make you proud of our boys and the entire football program. I look forward to seeing you this season in the Bone Yard and ask that you help cheer our Raiders to Victory! Thank you again for allowing me the honor to be your coach and GO RAIDERS!
