Curt Cignetti 🤝 DeSean Jackson
DeSean Jackson rejects football’s the live in the office coaching culture
“I spent 15 years playing in the league. The last thing I want to do is go have a long schedule, 8 in the morning till 10 at night, because we know the coaches we played for, they was in there all day.”
“I be in there probably like 6:30 in the morning, and I honestly be out by like two. But I tell my coaches, ‘Just because you there all day don’t mean nothing.’ You can still get out-schemed. You can still get out-worked.”
“So I’m not one of those coaches that be like, ‘We got to be there 8 in the morning, 6 in the morning and 10 at night.’ Get in. Get your work done. When you done, man, you get up out of there. I feel like you can get your work done and get home to your family, because I’m not going to be in there all day.”
“After a while, you just running up into a brick wall. You going to be miserable, frustrated, cussing out players, cussing out coaches. Nah, bro. I got to go reset.”

“I don’t believe you practice poorly and then just play great on game day. I don’t believe that happens and it won’t happen over the course of time,” Lane Kiffin
You can’t prepare below the standard and expect to perform above it.

When Michael B. Jordan found out his childhood boxing coach Earl had lost his Newark gym to $67,000 in back taxes, he stopped production on Creed Ill for four days without hesitation. He wired the taxes, bought the building outright for $250,000, and drove there himself at 6am to hand Earl the deed in person.

🎥 Top Coaching Clip of the Week
💭 In this interview with @JoshPateCFB, Indiana Head Coach Curt Cignetti shares a powerful philosophy on building a coaching staff:
He likes hiring young coaches who have the “right stuff.”
🔥 Character.
🔥 Love for the game.
🔥 Positive work habits.
🔥 A willingness to grow and develop.
Coach Cignetti emphasizes something that often gets overlooked in this profession: great staffs aren’t just built by hiring talent — they’re built by developing talent. The best leaders identify potential, invest in people, help them grow, and keep them around as long as possible.
🚀 That’s what Coach Portal is all about. We’re here to help coaches develop, grow their careers, build meaningful relationships, and create opportunities that allow them to reach their full potential.
And for hiring coaches, the lesson is clear:
📈 Sometimes the best investment isn’t the most proven coach — it’s the coach with the right mindset, work ethic, and foundation to become great.
Development matters. Relationships matter. Growth matters.

🎥 Top Coaching Clip of the Week
💭 Brenda Frese shows what real coaching looks like in the biggest moments — intensity, passion, and emotion. Coaching her player hard, holding her accountable, and pushing her to perform at the highest level.
But that kind of coaching only works when it’s built on something first: relationship and trust. That’s where growth happens.
🔥 The same is true in the coaching profession.
🚀 At Coach Portal, we’re not just a platform — we’re a partner. We build relationships with coaches, understand their goals, and challenge them to be the best version of themselves so they’re truly ready when opportunity comes.
📈 And on the hiring side, the best staffs are built the same way — with trust, alignment, and coaches who are prepared to be coached, developed, and pushed.

Indiana HC Curt Cignetti - Rebuilding Indiana
"Production over potential. There's something about that. The guy that can stay on the practice field, the guy that can stay on the game field, the guy can handle success, the guy that can handle failure, has consistency in performance, he's a good teammate, he buys in to the team vision & he can stay healthy."
"It's all about people. The people you hire and the people you recruit. You've got to hire and recruit the right kind of people. That have a foundation of habits, that understand right from wrong, that have passion, that love football, that want to be great, that want to learn and get better every single day. You got to have those kind of people in your organization & then create the environment where they can thrive."
PSA :
HS/ JUCO get in where you fit in , offers will not be there forever!!! If you want to play ball you’re going to play ball no excuses “opportunity dances with those who are ready on the dance floor” chess not checkers ✅
