No More Thanksgivings
It was 2012 in a tiny, rural county on the western border of South Carolina called McCormick. I was brought in that year for a multitude of reasons, but for the sake of this story, I was there because McCormick’s high school football team needed an offensive playcaller, and I was looking to enhance my resume with some coordinating experience, so it was a nice, symbiotic pairing that year. And while I would like to think that it was singularly me who came in and changed the program around, the truth is that I found myself in a wonderfully fortuitous situation. The head coach was in his second year, a defensive guy who needed someone to take the weight of offense off of him. Despite winning only three games the year before, he had laid a pretty solid foundation that year for what was to be a huge step forward in the program in the future. And, most importantly, we had the horses.
