| What does your offense need to improve on from last year? |
| We need to maintain mental discipline and be more explosive throughout the entire game. We had a lot of missed opportunities in 2018 due to having mental errors in critical situations. Turnovers and penalties are avoidable through sound practices and preparation. |
| What does your defense need to improve on from last year |
| Discipline. We need players who will do their job, be gap sound, and be coachable.We need to limit big plays which put us in bad situations offensively due to mental errors. |
| What are your overall thoughts on this years team? |
| We have great leadership from our senior class.This will be my 4th year as Head Football Coach and my first four year class. This group of seniors are very special to me and I want to send them out on a high note. |
