Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mastering the Double Wing Offense with Mike Ross
Q: What advice would you give to a young coach starting out?
Listen first and learn from those who have already found success; stay patient, absorb the experience around you, and don't pretend to have all the answers. Over time you'll build your own version that fits your players.
Mastering the Double Wing Offense with Mike Ross
Q: Coach, what is your philosophy of football and what has driven your success?
The core is simplicity in blocking and consistency across formations, combined with a relentless ground game that keeps the clock moving and makes defense respect every run option. When we win, players stay motivated, and the system scales with coaching and repetition.
From Coach to Author: A Journey of Creativity with Coach Parker
Q: Talk about how does that work? How do you sit down and write 165,000 words? Is it really fiction or based on real experiences?
He describes a mostly fictional narrative with a baseline of his corporate and football experiences, using structured outlines, AI-assisted editing, and a collaborative editing panel to refine prose while keeping ownership of the story.
The Journey of a Football Coach with Evan Peterson
Q: Well, what school of Virginia, if you don't mind me asking?
Southern Virginia University, which has a similar honor code and values, though not directly affiliated with BYU.
