An illustrious coaching heritage is embedded in the foundation of Clemson football. At the dawn of the 20th century, the Tigers were led by future College Football Hall of Famer John Heisman. Hall of Famers Jess Neely, Frank Howard and Danny Ford followed in Heisman's winning tradition. Now entering his 15th season (and 14th full season) as Clemson's head coach, Dabo Swinney has already carved his name into that foundation, elevating himself amid a pantheon of Clemson greats by becoming the first coach in program history to lead Clemson to multiple national championships. Swinney's stratospheric start to his head coaching career placed his record not only among Clemson legends but also among the names of the winningest leaders in the more than 150 years of major college football. With his final win of the 2021 season, Swinney reached 150 career wins in his 186th game as head coach. In terms of games played, Swinney became the sixth-fastest coach in FBS history — and the fourth-fastest in the modern era — to earn 150 career wins, trailing Urban Meyer (176), Gil Dobie (180), Barry Switzer (180), Fielding Yost (184) and Joe Paterno (184). Entering 2022, only 16 coaches in FBS history including Swinney had accomplished the feat within 200 games, and 14 of the 16 had been inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame, with the lone exceptions being Swinney and Meyer, both of whom are not yet eligible. The 150th win came in Swinney's 13th full season and his 14th season overall including his seven-game interim stint in 2008. He moved into third place in FBS history for the most coaching wins in the first 15 seasons of a head coaching career, trailing only Meyer (165) and Bob Stoops (160). Swinney will have the opportunity to take aim at both in his 15th season as head coach in 2022. Though other seasons resulted in more hardware, analysts and observers opined that 2021 might have been Swinney's best coaching job, as the Tiger mentor guided his team through adversity and attrition to overcome a 2-2 start to finish 10-3 and extend Clemson's streak of consecutive 10-win seasons to 11. Clemson entered that October as one of 28 Power Five teams with two or more losses, yet concluded the season along as one of only two of those 28 programs to finish the season having reached 10 wins. Swinney's 2021 Tigers played seven one-possession games, one shy of the school record, and went 5-2 in those contests. The squad's success came in spite of tremendous turnover and attrition, as 48 different players earned at least one start, eight more than started in the pandemic-impacted 2020 season. Only 23 Clemson players played in all 13 games, and only four offensive or defensive players started all 13. Between injuries and transfers, Swinney held aloft the 2021 Cheez-It Bowl trophy following a game Clemson finished without the services of 30 scholarship players from its initial fall roster. A year earlier, Swinney's squad accomplished its “double-double mission” in 2020, going 10-2 in a condensed season to give Clemson 10 consecutive 10-win seasons. Clemson became only the third program in FBS history to accomplish the feat and became the first school to win 10 games in 10 straight seasons as a member of the ACC, as only the final nine of Florida State's record 14-straight 10-win seasons came during the Seminoles' tenure in the ACC. The pandemic-affected 2020 campaign was a historic one for the Tigers both as a team and individually, as quarterback Trevor Lawrence ascended to become the winningest quarterback in school history (34-2) and running back Travis Etienne added the ACC's all-time rushing crown (4,952 yards) to his arsenal of school and conference records. Etienne's versatility as a rusher and receiver earned him consensus All-American honors as an all-purpose selection, while Lawrence became the second Heisman Trophy finalist in program history, tying Deshaun Watson (second in 2016) for the highest finish in Heisman Trophy voting in school history. The prolific backfield duo under Swinney's tutelage helped guide Clemson to its sixth consecutive outright conference title with a 34-10 win against Notre Dame in the ACC Championship Game. That day, Clemson and Oklahoma's six-year streaks of outright conference titles made the two programs the first among current Power Five programs to win at least six straight outright titles since Oklahoma (12 from 1948-59) as part of the now-dissolved Big 8 Conference. The conference title helped Clemson secure its record-tying sixth College Football Playoff berth, becoming the first program ever to reach the postseason tournament in six consecutive seasons. Clemson is 6-4 all-time in College Football Playoff games, the second-most wins of any program and twice the number of the third-place programs (three, Georgia and Ohio State). Clemson finished the 2020 season as the nation's No. 3-ranked squad, the Tigers' sixth consecutive top-four finish in the AP poll. In doing so, Swinney joined Bobby Bowden (13), Pete Carroll (7) and Bud Wilkinson (6) as the only coaches since the AP Poll's inception in 1936 to record six consecutive top-four finishes. In that stretch, Clemson appeared in the top five of 57 consecutive AP Polls, the second-longest streak in poll history. Clemson entered the third decade of the 21st century in 2020 after Swinney helped author one of the most prolific 10-year periods in the history of the sport. Clemson posted a 117-22 record under Swinney's leadership in the 2010s, and the program's 117 wins trailed only Penn (124 in the 1890s) and Alabama (124 in the 2010s) to tie for the third-most in a decade in major college football since 1890. Clemson's 117 wins in 2010s represented the first 100-win decade in Clemson history. Before a pandemic-shortened season in 2020, Clemson won at least 12 games in five straight seasons from 2015-19, tied for the longest such streak in the modern era and only two seasons shy of Penn's record seven-season streak from 1892-98. Clemson won 69 games in that five-year span, the most in a five-year stretch in the AP Poll era. In 2019, the Tigers earned their fifth consecutive College Football Playoff berth following their fifth-consecutive ACC title, becoming the first team in college football history to win five straight conference championship games since conference title games were created in 1992.  Clemson posted a 14-1 record that year, earning its fourth appearance in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game in five years. Prior to the season finale, Clemson extended its school-record winning streak to 29 games, tied with Florida State (2012-14) for the longest streak in ACC history and for the 12th-longest in FBS history. Clemson dominated the vast majority of its 2019 opponents, including an eight-game streak of wins by 30 or more points to break the longest streak in the AP Poll era, surpassing the previous mark of seven games set by 2011 Houston and 1976 Michigan. At 150-36, Swinney (.806) enters the 2022 season as the winningest active coach by percentage in the FBS among coaches with at least 10 seasons of head coaching experience. With an initial hire date of Oct. 13, 2008, he is the senior member of the ACC's head coaching fraternity and enters 2022 as the ninth-longest-tenured head coach in the FBS.  Clemson's success on the gridiron has been matched by its prowess in the classroom, as prior to the NCAA suspending APR reporting during the COVID-19 pandemic, Clemson was one of only three programs to earn top-10 percent APR recognition from the NCAA in at least nine of the previous 10 years, joining Duke and Northwestern. Clemson was in the top 10 of APR scores and the final top 25 of the AP and USA Today polls from 2011-15, the only FBS program that could make that claim. In 2017, Clemson became the first school to reach the College Football Playoff and finish in the top five of APR scores in the same year.  Clemson also produced the 2018 William V. Campbell Trophy winner (known colloquially as the “Academic Heisman”) in Christian Wilkins and won the program's first AFCA Academic Achievement Award. Clemson repeated as AFCA Academic Achievement Award recipients in 2019, becoming the only school in the country to repeat and doing so while appearing in the national championship game in both seasons. Swinney and Clemson's 2018 season was one for which statistics and superlatives accumulated in historic fashion. The Tigers became the first major college football team in the modern era (and the first since Penn in 1897) to finish a season with a 15-0 record.  The list of “firsts” was long and distinguished. Clemson became the first program to win four consecutive Atlantic Division titles, and with a 42-10 win against Pittsburgh in the ACC Championship Game, it became the first program to win four straight ACC titles outright.  Clemson's 15 wins included a school-record 12 against teams who finished with winning records. Clemson won by an average margin of 31.1 points per game, the best in the nation and the second-largest in school history, trailing only a 35.3-point average margin in 1900. Among the seasons it passed was a 30.4-point average margin in 1901, a season in which Clemson won one of its five games by a score of 122-0. Clemson set school records in points (664) and total offense (7,718, also an ACC record). The defense held opponents to 13.1 points per game, leading the country in scoring defense for the first time in school history.  A critical point in the season came four games into the campaign. Following a 49-21 win at Georgia Tech in which true freshman quarterback Trevor Lawrence threw for four touchdowns in reserve, Swinney and the coaching staff elected to name Lawrence the starter, supplanting senior Kelly Bryant, who had led the Tigers to a 16-2 career record as a starter.  With Lawrence leading Swinney's Tigers, Clemson took flight. After a dramatic come-from-behind 27-23 win against Syracuse in which Lawrence exited the game with an injury, Clemson rattled off 10 consecutive wins of 20 points or more to conclude the season, including blowout wins of No. 3 Notre Dame in the Cotton Bowl and No. 1 Alabama in the College Football Playoff National Championship. Seven players earned first or second-team All-America honors, including a school-record three players who collected consensus honors. The 2018 Tigers produced a team-record 18 All-ACC picks and became the first team to produce the ACC Player of the Year, ACC Offensive Player of the Year, ACC Defensive Player of the Year, ACC Offensive Rookie of the Year and ACC Coach of the Year in a season since Florida State in 1997. Accolades also accumulated for Swinney, who earned his second career ACC Coach-of-the-Year honor and brought home the Woody Hayes Award as national coach of the year. Less than a week after winning the national title, he also won the Paul “Bear” Bryant Award, becoming the first three-time winner of the award. Including the 2018 Bryant and Hayes Awards, he has won national coach-of-the-year honors from at least one organization in five of the last nine years. The 2018 season was preceded by a 2017 campaign in which Clemson was on a mission to prove that it was built to last. Swinney guided the team to a 12-2 record, an ACC title and a College Football Playoff berth despite having only six scholarship seniors and losing players who accounted for 77 percent of the offense during the 2016 national championship season. While Clemson was ranked No. 5 in the preseason AP Poll, few expected the Tigers to be ranked No. 1 in both polls and the College Football Playoff ranking entering the bowl season. In fact, Clemson was not even the preseason choice to win the ACC Atlantic Division.  Despite a setback in the Sugar Bowl to the eventual national champion, Alabama, Clemson finished ranked No. 4 in both polls. He was inducted into the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame following the season. Clemson's school-record six wins over top-25 teams in 2017, also a national best, included a school-record four on opponents' home fields and five away from home. The defense, including three defensive linemen, featured four players who were named All-American, helping Clemson rank in the top four in the nation in scoring defense (No. 2) and total defense (No. 4). Clemson led the ACC in the four major defensive categories (scoring, total, rushing, passing), a first in history. The 2016 Tigers lived up to their hype after compiling a 14-1 record and earning a spot in the College Football Playoff for the second-straight year. Along the way, Clemson knocked off five top-25 foes. Clemson defeated the top two teams in the national polls in consecutive games in the College Football Playoff at the end of the season. The Tigers blanked Ohio State, 31-0, in the Fiesta Bowl, the first shutout suffered by head coach Urban Meyer in his career and the first for Ohio State since 1993. The Tigers then earned a rematch with No. 1 Alabama, and for the first time in school history, took down the top-ranked team in a second epic battle with the storied Crimson Tide program. Quarterback Deshaun Watson's touchdown pass to Hunter Renfrow with one second left on the clock gave Clemson a dramatic 35-31 victory in Tampa, Fla. Swinney received the Bear Bryant Award as national coach-of-the-year for the second consecutive season. Swinney coached Watson to two record-setting seasons in 2015 and 2016. The two-time Heisman Trophy finalist became the first player in FBS history to total 4,000 passing yards and 1,000 rushing yards in a season in 2015, and he followed by setting an ACC record with 41 passing touchdowns in 2016. Watson won both  the Davey O'Brien Award and Manning Award in back-to-back seasons. Swinney guided Clemson to the No. 1 national ranking in every College Football Playoff poll in 2015 and led the Tigers to their first national championship game appearance under the new format after his team defeated Oklahoma, 37-17, in the 2015 Orange Bowl. The Tigers led Alabama in the fourth quarter of the championship contest, but came up just short (45-40) in an epic game in Glendale, Ariz. Following the team's 14-1 record and No. 2 final ranking, he was the recipient of 10 national and two ACC Coach-of-the-Year honors.  In 2015, a then-Tiger-record 17 players were named to one of three All-ACC teams, including all five starting offensive linemen for the first time in school history. In 2016, 15 players were honored, including a school-record three first-team All-ACC offensive line selections. The 2012, 2013 and 2014 seasons were also noteworthy, with three top-15 final rankings.  With a 40-6 Russell Athletic Bowl victory over Oklahoma in 2014, Swinney became the first coach in history to win three bowl games in consecutive seasons over teams whose head coaches had previously won the national title. He upped that mark to five years in a row in 2016. Clemson capped off the 2013 season with a thrilling 40-35 victory over No. 6 Ohio State in the Orange Bowl. Clemson had an 11-2 record after finishing 7-1 in ACC regular-season games. It marked Clemson's first back-to-back 11-win seasons in school history. For the fourth time in his first five full seasons as head coach, Swinney was a finalist for the Liberty Mutual National Coach of the Year in 2013. The 2012 season (11-2) was a groundbreaking year for Swinney's Tigers when looking at the overall consistency of the program. The seven conference wins in the regular season were then a school record, while Clemson was co-champion of the ACC Atlantic Division. With Clemson's thrilling 25-24 win over No. 7 LSU in the 2012 Chick-fil-A Bowl, the Tigers finished the season ranked No. 9 in the USA Today poll. It was Clemson's first top-10 finish in one of the two major polls since 1990. Clemson also reached the 11-win mark for the first time since its 1981 national championship season.  Swinney's 2011 squad, which ended the season ranked No. 22 in the nation, captured Clemson's first ACC title since 1991 when it beat No. 3 Virginia Tech, 38-10, in the ACC Championship Game in Charlotte, N.C. It gave Clemson its first 10-win season since 1990. For his efforts, Swinney was named Bobby Dodd National Coach of the Year in 2011 to become the first Tiger head coach to win a national coach-of-the-year award since Ford in 1981. In 2010, Swinney became just the second Tiger coach to lead Clemson to a bowl game in his first two full years as head coach, joining his predecessor, Tommy Bowden. The 2010 schedule was one of the most challenging in school history, as nine bowl teams were on the regular-season slate and two of the four non-conference opponents were ranked in the top 25. In 2009, Swinney's first full season as head coach at Clemson, he led the Tigers to their first title of the ACC Atlantic Division. The Tigers came just six points short of winning their first ACC title in 18 years. Swinney was named ACC Coach of the Year by Sporting News and was a finalist for the Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year. In October 2008, Swinney was named Clemson's interim head coach, replacing Bowden, who had been his position coach as a player at Alabama and was Clemson's head coach since 1999. He led the Tigers to a 4-2 record during the rest of the 2008 regular season, including a win over South Carolina in the regular-season finale to earn a Gator Bowl bid against Nebraska. On Dec. 1, 2008, his interim tag was removed and he was named the program's head coach. At the time, there had been 28 interim head coaches at the FBS level since 1970, and those coaches had combined for a 26-86-2 record. Only one of those 28 interim coaches posted a winning record, and that was Swinney. When he was hired as head coach, he became just the second interim coach to be elevated to the head coach position at the same school during that time period. Swinney hit the ground running in his first week as interim head coach, as he prepared for a 5-1 Georgia Tech team. He had to reorganize his staff and regroup his team and the fanbase in just five days. While the Tigers lost by four points, he accomplished many goals in that first week through his outstanding leadership. One of the most impressive demonstrations of unity came during the team's “Tiger Walk,” which has since become a staple of Clemson's game day routine for both the team and fans. Swinney has demonstrated his dedication to the community through Dabo's All In Team Foundation. Since 2009, the Swinney family and Dabo's All In Team Foundation have given more than $7.8 million back to communities and programs in the state. In its inaugural year, the foundation made the first contribution to the cancer fund established for former Boston College linebacker Mark Herzlich, and many schools followed its lead during the remainder of the season. In 2021, the foundation distributed roughly $1.2 million in financial support to their core focus areas, with $800,000 of that being distributed to more than 200 deserving organizations and non-profits through the foundation's grant program. In 2019, the foundation awarded a record $1,082,000 in grant funding to more than 165 and raised $400,000 for breast cancer research and prevention during the organization's annual Ladies Clinic. The foundation's efforts went virtual in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, as the organization's ALL IN Virtual Fundraising Event alone raised nearly $1 million for organizations and efforts in South Carolina. Swinney was named as the honorary coach for the 2019 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team, an honor for which Watson, a former Good Works Team selection, returned to Clemson to surprise Swinney during a team meeting. In the spring of 2021, Swinney accepted the Uncommon Award from Pro Football Hall of Fame Coach Tony Dungy, who presents the honor annually to figures in football who “take the tough road, follow a higher calling and set a higher standard.” The 1993 Alabama graduate joined the Clemson staff prior to the 2003 season. In his first 19 years as an assistant or head coach, the Tigers finished in the top 25 of the polls 15 times and totaled 42 wins over top-25 teams. Swinney coached his wide receiver position to a level of consistency that had not been seen previously at Clemson. He had a wide receiver finish first or second in the ACC in catches in five of his six seasons as an assistant coach. In his first season, he had three of the top-10 receivers in the conference, a first in Tiger history. In his 19 seasons at Clemson, a Tiger wide receiver has earned All-ACC status in 17 of those campaigns, including a first- or second-team All-ACC selection (Derrick Hamilton, Airese Currie, Chansi Stuckey, Aaron Kelly, Jacoby Ford, Sammy Watkins, DeAndre Hopkins, Artavis Scott, Mike Williams, Tee Higgins, Amari Rodgers) in 16 of those 19 seasons. In 2021, three of his protégés (Williams, Higgins and Hunter Renfrow) recorded 1,000-yard seasons in the NFL, while another (Chansi Stuckey) served as wide receivers coach at Big 12 champion Baylor before accepting the wide receivers coach job at Notre Dame for 2022. The Alabama native has a reputation as one of the top recruiters in the nation. In 2006, he was listed as the No. 5 recruiter in the nation by Rivals. He signed 38 players in his five recruiting seasons as an assistant coach and was a major reason Clemson's 2008 recruiting class was rated No. 2 in the nation by ESPN when he signed 11 players. Clemson's 2020 class finished as a consensus Top 3 class, earning the top ranking from ESPN, a No. 2 rank by Rivals and a No. 3 ranking in the 247 Composite.  When Swinney accepted the interim head coaching position at Clemson on Oct. 13, 2008, he described his feelings as “bittersweet,” because he was taking over for Bowden, who had been his first position coach at Alabama in the 1989 season. He had also brought Swinney back to the coaching profession in 2003 and has had a profound effect on his life. Both had followed similar paths as players, as Bowden was a walk-on at West Virginia and Swinney was a walk-on at Alabama. Swinney received a commerce & business administration degree from Alabama in 1993 after lettering three times (1990-92). A walk-on who went on to earn a scholarship, Swinney was a wide receiver on Alabama's 1992 national championship team. He was also named Academic All-SEC along with being an SEC Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll member in 1990 and 1992. Along with his appearance in the 1993 Sugar Bowl, his Alabama teams played in the 1990 Sugar Bowl, 1991 Fiesta Bowl and 1991 Blockbuster Bowl. Both Sugar Bowl appearances came after winning the SEC title game. After his playing career, he was a graduate assistant at Alabama from 1993-95. He received a master's degree in business administration from Alabama in 1995. He became a full-time assistant coach at Alabama in February 1996 under head coach Gene Stallings and coached a total of five seasons there on a full-time basis. Swinney was assigned to coach the Crimson Tide's wide receivers and tight ends in 1996, a season that saw Alabama win the SEC West Division title. The following year, he solely coached the tight ends. In 1998, he coached Alabama's wide receivers, a position he held for three years. At the end of 1999, Swinney coached the Crimson Tide in the 2000 Orange Bowl after winning the SEC Championship Game. During his time at Alabama, Swinney was a part of six teams with double-digit wins, five top-10 finishes, one national title (1992), three SEC championships (1989,92,99) and five SEC West Division titles (1992,93,94,96,99) as a player and coach. Swinney married the former Kathleen Bassett in 1994. They have three sons, Will, Drew and Clay. Will  played for Clemson from 2017-21, appearing in 69 games and holding for 558 career kicking points while also scoring two touchdowns of his own. Drew and Clay are both members of the 2022 Tiger football team.

Tampa Bay Times Bucs Insider Rick Stroud tells guest host Ryan Leaf why even he's baffled by Tom Brady's mysterious absence from Buccaneers' training camp and if it could be a harbinger of something bigger to come for TB12, what Tampa's expectations are for the 2022 season under new head coach Todd Bowles, and why the new-look Miami Dolphins will be “a problem” for the teams on their schedule this year. Florida State Head Football Coach Mike Norvell and Ryan discuss the challenges of bringing a winning tradition back to the Seminoles after some down years following the Bobby Bowden era and more.   Ryan and the guys react to reports that the Cleveland Browns will pursue Jimmy Garoppolo if Deshaun Watson's suspension is extended and offer up a solution for Kyle Shanahan in his beef with the NFL who won't let him choose which hats he can wear during games this season.

I’m Doug Apple...and my heart is on fire. (Luke 24:32) “Don’t say holy cow.” “No, not holy mackerel, either.” “And definitely not holy cra….you know what.” “Look,” I told my grandsons, “Holy is a word. It has a meaning. A serious meaning. To say it any other way is to say it in vain, which means to water it down.” “What does it mean? Well, I think of holy as being separated, like separated from sin. God is separated from sin and He wants us to be separated from sin, to be holy, to be righteous, to not sin.” “Plus, when you say, ‘holy…whatever,’ that’s not what you really mean anyway. You mean something else, like, ‘I’m shocked,’ or ‘That’s amazing,’ or ‘What a surprise.’ So why not just say what you mean instead of using the word holy in vain?” One grandson said, “Because it’s more fun!” I said, “When you say it, does anyone laugh? Does anyone even smile? Do you even smile? It must not be that fun.” “And if you want to have fun, then make up your own exclamation.” Then I told them about former Florida State Seminoles football coach Bobby Bowden and how he used to say, “Dadgummit.” Then I told them about my dad, their great-grandfather. I never heard my dad say a single bad word. Ever. I remember one time when I was a young teenager, and Dad was at home, off work, and a call came in from work. You could tell it was something stressful, some kind of problem he had to solve. It was the kind of moment where a mom shushes all the kids or scuttles them out of the room. Dad needs space to solve this problem I was listening closely. What was going on? What would Dad say? Here’s what he said. This is the exclamation that came out of his mouth. He said, “Jim dandy billy goat.” Ha ha, okay, that’s about the extent of my dad’s blue language. Jim dandy billy goat. So if you must exclaim something, and you don’t want to say the words you actually mean, please don’t fall into the age-old traps of cursing or blue language or taking the Lord’s name in vain. Don’t even take the word “holy” in vain because it’s a real word with a serious meaning and we don’t want to water it down. Instead, come up with some fun words of your very own. Or you could just say it like my dad said it, “Jim dandy billy goat.” May God bless you today. I’m Doug Apple.

It's another largely quiet weekend on the FSU campus, but we are slowly moving closer to football season as the ACC hosts their ACC Kickoff media days this week in Charlotte. That gets underway on Wednesday. Florida State will go that same day. The Seminoes representatives there will be head coach Mike Norvell, quarterback Jordan Travis, defensive tackle Fabian Lovett and defensive back Jammie Robinson. ACC commissioner Jim Philips will also speak on Wednesday. He'll actually be kicking off the proceedings. Interesting to see what he'll have to say in light of the recent conference realignment moves that ACC has largely sat on the sidelines of. Will hetake a strong position on the jostling or will he spew cliches? That exact question was one of the ones tackled on this week's Seminole Wrap podcast. Myself along with Max Escarpio and Jon Marchant talk through what he maybe willor should say. Plus we talk about the ongoing rebuild through the focus on offensive line recruiting. Should we be calling this the Alex Atkins rebuild, instead of the Mike Norvell rebuild? The new O-C putting in tons of strong work on the recruiting trail to uplift this roster that will pay dividends now and into the future.Check it out. That episode dropping Monday morning wherever you get this podcast and on Tomahawk Nation dot com. Coming this August, Doak Campell will get a new bit of a new look as FSU announced their plan to update the facades on the press box and suites with more of the program's history. It'll have retired numbers, championships, bowl appearances, and all Americans alongside Bobby Bowden's name. A chance for FSU to really showcase its deep, prestigious history to fans, players, and potential recruits. The first chance to check it out is that home opener in August. In case you missed it at the end of last week, members of the FSU football team are banding together to help their fellow teammate Greedy Vance and his family restore their home in New Orleans. Vance's family home was impacted by Hurricane Ida last August and the family is still working to get back on their feet. Many of us I'm sure live along the coast know how difficult that hurricane recovery process can be. So offensive lineman Dillan Gibbons alongside Jordan Travis have started a GoFundMeto support them get through that process. If you'd like to check it out and help however you can, we've got an article on our website about it linking to that fund. Elsewhere on campus, new head baseball coach Link Jarrett keeps filling up his first staff with guys from his old staff as pitching coach Chuck Ristano is the latest guy to make the leap from Notre Dame to Tallahassee. Ristano had spent the last 12 years at Notre Dame. Another big get for Link. In hoops, a lot of former Noles continue to showcase their skills in the final few games of the NBA's summer league and on Sunday, nobody did so better than John Butler who had a perfect night from the field. 9/9 shooting including 6/6 from beyond the arc left with 25 points and 7 rebounds for the Pelicans. That's a young group inNew Orleans that needs some knockdown shooting. Maybe he can catch on there this fall. He'll likely start that process as a two-way player first, but we'll have to see how that process unfolds. The soccer team has announced their 2022 schedule as they get set to begin their first under new head coach Brian Pensky. It'll be a bit of a tougher task as the roster has lost 3 of their bigger names in Emily Madril, Kirsten Pavlisko and Yujie Zhao, but this team should still have enough talent to compete this year.

Jeff Culhane goes back to an interview with Gene Deckerhoff that he conducted 10 years ago at a radio station in Nebraska. Deckerhoff's stories about Florida State coach Bobby Bowden still stick with Culhane, reminding him that the FSU platform provides the chance to impact people at a rare level. “I always knew that I wanted the opportunity to be a play-by-play announcer at a place where it mattered, where people cared, and the games and the stories, and the players and the coaches, where it was all instilled and injected into your DNA,” Culhane told Noles247's On The Bench. “There aren't many places where you can say that. Florida State is one of those.” Culhane sits down with OTB to recall that conversation with Deckerhoff, what it'll be like following a broadcasting legend, his process of landing the FSU job, his broadcasting style, and more.

Discussion Discussion on Chicago Bears scout Chris Prescott losing his job for saying Bears 2nd round pick Jaquan Brisker was a good selection because he loves football and is poor, hungry, and desperate. Those comments make you wonder, how do executives rate athletes who love the game, but have other interests and passions outside of football. Dr. Myron Rolle - Pediatric Neurosurgeon; Former NFL Defensive BackDiscusses his path to becoming a neurosurgeon. Credits his parents for instilling his work ethic into him that has guided him his entire life. The same way he went at playing football is the same way he went at his classes. Explains why he chose Florida State. He knew when he got there that he wanted to be a neurosurgeon and wanted to start a foundation. Bobby Bowden told him to follow that path. Is grateful to have the career he has had. Both journeys, football, and science have fed and continue to feed each other. Discusses his book The 2% Way. The book talks about his journey, including how to deal with obstacles that were in his path. The Rolle Foundation is something he started in 2009 to address childhood obesity and hypertension. Chad Brown -Entrepreneur; Former NFL LinebackerChad was always an entrepreneur at heart. He didn't grow up wealthy so whatever he wanted, he had to figure out a way to work for it and get it. Always loved animals growing up. He developed a passion for animals, especially reptiles at a young age. He got into breeding and was able to sell 'his babies' while in college to make money. It was legal and it didn't get Colorado in trouble with the NCAA. There is enough reptilian diversity to satisfy anyone interested in raising one. Chad compares his business to playing in the NFL, both in-season and off-season. Owners want to hire people they are comfortable with so they may not be comfortable hiring people of color as head coaches. Race isn't the main problem in NFL hiring, nepotism is.

Chuck starts the show by saying that everyone has a defender. But, he's not sure this national title winning head coach is one of them. He talks Alabama Crimson Tide with Charlie Potter of BamaOnline.com. Dustin Schutte joins the show to talk Big Ten from Saturday Tradition.    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Maurice “Smiley” Harris' story is one of a young man's struggles to find direction in his life after being recruited by some of the nation's top Division I NCAA football programs in the country. He eventually signed with and played for legendary Coach Bobby Bowden at FSU (Florida State University). A severe neck injury abruptly ended Maurice's dream of one day becoming a professional athlete and entering the NFL draft became, a personal nightmare. Maurice started making terrible decisions, than shortly after graduating from FSU he made one that had him facing a felony crime and eventually sentenced to eight years in prison. His misguided choices profoundly changed his life but were used as a compass for future challenges after being released from prison. Spending years incarcerated led to painful experiences and many unforeseen setbacks for Maurice. His vociferous personality and redemptive spirit led him to a place of courageously taking steps to atone for his past mistakes. He is determined to not allow prior failings to dictate future outcomes. Maurice (Smiley) Harris is no longer SIDELINED.

Mike Ortoll's world was turned upside down when his daughter Christine started abusing drugs and alcohol. Christine found recovery for several years, but sadly suffered a relapse and passed away from a fentanyl overdose in late 2020. In grieving his daughter, Mike started to think about how he could share his experience with other families facing addiction. Through a series of high-profile documentary films, including the Bowden Dynasty Film and another film documenting Christine's story, Mike and a few of his Sigma Chi Fraternity Brothers are now providing support to the Collegiate Recovery Program at Florida State University (FSU), called LIFT. Mike also started the Christine Ortoll Recovery Organization to raise awareness, share resources, and lead a national “call to action” across the country of changing the conversation about addiction and recovery.The CDC has reported that more than 100,000 Americans died of a drug overdose in a 12 month period from 2020 to 2021, and many of those deaths have been attributed to Fentanyl. According to the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is 80-100 times stronger than morphine. Fentanyl is often times added to heroin to increase its potency, or to be disguised as highly potent heroin. Many users believe they are purchasing heroin and don't know that they are actually purchasing fentanyl – which often results in overdose deaths.Christine Ortoll Recovery OrganizationAssociation of Recovery in Higher EducationLIFT at Florida State University (FSU)Center for Health Advocacy Wellness at FSUSubstance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)www.tpoftampa.comwww.thepointisrecoverypodcast.comwww.facebook.com/TurningPointofTampawww.twitter.com/TurningPointTPAwww.instagram.com/turningpointtpawww.youtube.com/user/TurningPointofTampawww.linkedin.com/company/turning-point-of-tampa-inc

In terms of football, Christian Ponder is probably best known for his three years as the starting quarterback at Florida State under head coach Bobby Bowden. What most people don't know, however, is that Ponder also won the 2010 Bobby Bowden Award, presented to the top student-athlete among FBS schools, and graduated from Florida State in just two and a half years with a degree in finance and a 3.73 GPA. Today, Ponder is seeking to develop a community of other like-minded former athletes who have taken their drive from sport and converted it into business pursuits and other passions. Ponder is co-founder of The Post, a professional membership community launching early in 2022 that will help athletes apply their unique skill set to achieve their professional goals. In our conversation . . . Ponder talks about his decision to retire early from the NFL, “When I left it was actually much more difficult than I anticipated. Although I tried to distance myself from it, that probably made it more difficult because it's so hard for so many of us when it's such a deep-seeded part of our identity and who we are, and overnight it's gone.” Ponder describes the natural crossover between being an athlete and an entrepreneur; ”You have to have the work ethic. It takes a tremendous amount of work to go from just an idea to actually starting a business. Teamwork and communication are tremendously important in the startup experience.” Ponder on why athletes have a common bond that sets them up for success beyond sports, “It really comes down to the soft skills of the work ethic and the leadership and the grittiness and being goal-oriented and always striving to get better and dealing with failure and dealing with success… these soft skills that sport teaches you. For those that achieve the highest level of sport, those qualities will make you successful at anything in life. You just have to take it from the scope of athletic ability and apply it to the scope of business and professional potential.” You can follow Christian Ponder on Twitter (@cponder7) and Instagram (@cpseven). * * * * * About The Game Plan The Game Plan is a weekly podcast hosted by venture capitalists Jay Kapoor and Tim Katt.

#042. Randy and Carolyn Allen met through Kanakuk ministries at one of the camps in Missiouri.  However they were reunited when Carolyn was attending Texas A &M  and Randy was asked to play the guitar and entertain some college students.   They have two children, Zac and Ashley (which you will have to hear how Coach Allen became "matchmaker"), and 8 grand children. Carolyn is the author of the book, "The Coaches Wife" which can be found on Amazon (click the link). She is also very responsible for getting her husband the job at Highland Park. Hear the story of how she locked up the job with a home cooked meal and delicious dessert!Randy, a native of Abilene, Texas, started his coaching career as an assistant at Bryan HS. His first Head Coaching job came in 1981 at Ballinger HS where he compiled as 44-15-2 record with a program who did not have a winning record 5 year prior to his arrival. He then went on to Brownwood HS and amassed a 43-13-2 record in 5 seasons. Then he went on to his Alma Mater at Abilene Cooper HS where he spent the next 7 seasons building up that program. Then in 1999, he landed at Highland Park HS (Dallas, Texas) where he accomplished 300+ wins.On October 14, 2011, Coach Allen became the 10th man in Texas high school football history to accomplish this feat. In January of 2014, Coach Allen was chosen as the recipient of the Grant Teaff Fellowship of Christian Athletes Lifetime Achievement Award, joining coaching greats Tony Dungy and Bobby Bowden. He was named the Don Shula National Coach of the Year in 2016. He was selected as an SMU Distinguished Alum in 2017.The Highland Park Scots became the first Texas High School football program to win 800 games, and Coach Allen has the 3rd most wins of any Texas High School football coach in history! He is most assuredly on the "Mount Rushmore" of Texas high school football.

Coach Mark Richt served as the head football coach for the University of Georgia and the University of Miami, as well as a longtime assistant coach for the Florida State University Seminoles under his mentor, Bobby Bowden where he was part of 2 National Championship teams. In this conversation, Evan Burk speaks with Coach Richt about learning under Hall of Fame coach Bobby Bowden, impactful relationships with players built on discipline and compassion, and a coach's responsibility to set the example for teaching players how to become a man, husband, and father. How Howard Schnellenberger set high expectation at the University of Miami His 1st job at Florida State and developing confidence as a coach Earning Coach Bobby Bowden's trust The elevation of the Florida State football program How they avoided complacency during FSU's all-time great run His mentality going into his 1st head coaching job at Georgia The elevation of the Georgia football program Building resiliency within the program, with players, and "Finishing the Drill" at Georgia How the Georgia program evolved over 15 years Returning to his alma mater as head football coach Commonalties of the great teams he was a part of The importance of getting the buy-in of the players Teaching players how to be young men

Today's guest is none other than Coach Mark Richt, or Poopah, as his grandkids call him. Coach Richt played quarterback at the University of Miami and threw his hat in the ring for the NFL before turning his sights towards coaching college football. The day before leaving to begin his coaching career as a GA down in Baton Rouge, he received a phone call and a job offer from the late Bobby Bowden, which he accepted. Mark refers to this pivotal moment as a "spiritual marker" in his life, as it was Coach Bowden who raised him as a young quarterbacks coach, molder of young men, and most importantly brought him to faith in Jesus Christ. Mark met his wife of 34 years, Katharyn, while he was a GA in Tallahassee and she was a cheerleader. Mark went on to be the OC at East Carolina for one season before returning to Florida State to serve as QB coach for three years and then being promoted to offensive coordinator. In his ten year run at Florida State he coached two Heisman Trophy winning QBs, won seven consecutive ACC titles, and won two national championships. After ten years coaching the Seminoles, Mark took the head coaching job at the University of Georgia where he would lead the program for 15 years, win two SEC championships, and leave as the second winningest coach in program history. After leaving Georgia in 2015, he returned to his alma mater as the head coach of the Miami Hurricanes, where he won ACC Coach of the Year, and stoked a long awaited fire within the Miami program, donating $1 million of his own money to kickoff the fundraising for a $34 million dollar practice facility in Miami. Coach Richt made the call to retire after the 2018 season after suffering a near-fatal heart attack. He now works as an ACC Network college football studio analyst, and this fall he became an author upon the release of his new book "Make the Call," which is equal parts entertaining and insightful and i would recommend it to anyone. This past weekend, the University of Georgia held a half-time ceremony to honor Coach Richt and the legacy he left and the road he paved for future Bulldog success. One thing I appreciate most about Coach Richt is that he is a guy with his priorities in order and never shies away from his faith. Above it all, he is an incredible man, husband, and father and it is an absolute honor to host him on the show. Discussion Points Mark's new book "Make the Call" The book writing process The impact that Coach Bobby Bowden had on Mark's life Mark's story of coming to faith in Jesus Christ Coach tells the story of "the dog pile" Gratitude and the importance of stopping to appreciate the small wins What his players taught up Discipline is a form of love Coach's approach to work life balance as a college football coach The role his wife played for their family during the coaching years The importance of having one meal with the family each day Marriage advice that has lead to 34 years of happy marriage Mark's adoption story Mark talks about the grandpa life What Coach is the most proud of in his life Coach talks about legacy and what that word means to Him LINKS Make the Call by Mark Richt: https://www.bhpublishinggroup.com/makethecall/

Last season was a bonanza for schools from outside the Power Five conferences. A record seven were ranked in the final AP Top 25. Can the so-called Group of Five carry that momentum into 2021? Chris Vannini of The Athletic joins AP's Ralph Russo to preview the non-Power Five leagues from the American Athletic Conference, where Cincinnati hopes to make a playoff push, to the Sun Belt, where Coastal Carolina and Louisiana bring back loaded teams. Then Pete Sampson of The Athletic joins the show to preview Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish have a new quarterback and new defensive coordinator. Standards are set high enough now for Brian Kelly's program that even a step back from last year's playoff team could mean double-digit victories. Plus, a tribute to Bobby Bowden. Russo's column on Bobby Bowden: https://apnews.com/article/sports-college-sports-football-college-football-2ca2dcbc296234673cc3e1aea2329b70 Email the show at APTop25mailbag@gmail.com
