what’s first wallets temp tell me about the homecoming game taking things went pretty well

what we had the fifth largest crowd in the history of the school we were really excited about that

00:02:50

fat and ugly how far is the game goes it was a wee golf course

fast Arden and had a little comfortable Eden and then uh

later on in the game got some points of a switch with a little disappointed but overall I thought the F

the effort by the football team was fantastic the at the parade

parade the homecoming the student body the faculty at the community

community of Charleston in Mattoon along with Coles County Effingham champagne

we have a lot of people from a lot of places here and was fantastic is to see the atmosphere

00:03:25

atmosphere the tailgating and camaraderie that was going on not only before the football

football game but well after the football game and it does winning the homecoming game is is

is is is that special whether or not you up against a Tufte Minaj what you know what are the lotto

things that you got to pray to everything that goes on in the morning after the game

you got dinners alumni people being a inducted into the Hall of Fame

name it makes for very long day for my doctor present. My boss in a bath

director Barbara Burke so it’s always better for doing that with the Wind talk to waste

00:04:00

waste edible of now I’m reading venta de Southeast Missouri State Hana

I had sex the come up with a special defense aint answer wide receiver Erik Lora

is is that a common thing to do well you know Erik Lora was the

leading receiver in the nation last year 136 receptions in one year

what year breaking the East Illinois OBC record affect braking

breaking the entire Records most catches ever buy wide receiver 1 year and now he’s coming back for you

4c New Years got numerous a NFL football teams are watching him

00:04:35

Amanda he’s a special guy so sometimes people want to play the bass

base defense sometimes they want to play come up with a special defense they came up for Special

defensa we pick it up within the first 3 plays of the game if they were doing that and I

and I just came to the Sideline I said okay after I think was after touchdown run

locate airplanes defense right here on you I said I get ready for your body to have a hell of a day

the day the just left the suds coach whatever it takes for us to get the wind and the

fortunately keandre and a Adam Drake both had exceptional day

00:05:10

Days and Erik Lora headache catches on 131 yards which I guess

I guess it’s a little blow his average but pretty good for an awful lot of people really

really good blow is average but more than excited and he was really fantasies teammates

I have a lot of success as well as a coach papers UK mendakota team

team that has been to and 9542 seasons in a row

your first year you letter to a conference title in the first round of the NCAA Tournament

what happened  you know I really believe that there’s 2 things in half

00:05:45

what happened to the first three things that happened one I think there was some good players here

when I got here there’s no doubt about a coach Bob Boozer Hall of Fame coach yet been here

been here 25 years he gave me my first full time job in coaching always thank you for that

for that affect the picture of him up in my office I told him stay hard me the head football coach ear

Bob booty go up into my office near us right by my door

the second thing I think that was really important is that a we got to just change

change the atmosphere I think it was in uh and atmosphere conditions for winning

00:06:20

winning just based off of something that we’re going on a program that I think that are sent you that you

what you need to say that you need to make sure you have if you’re going to have a wing product on the football field

ball field and I think last in probably most importantly is we had to change the attitude

you know when you when you got 229 seasons 29 season

and people are calling you losers and they’re not coming to the games and you’re not very good

good end up with people don’t respect what you doing at work it affect

affects you and I what I wanted to do was just influx this a football team with Paz

00:06:55

positive energy positive attitude tell them that they are not the action

doing doesn’t it does not make for making losers all I need to do to change their actions

start acting like winners to 21 days to create a habit we need to create swimming habits

baby body in the drink the Kool Aid and I think with that mental attitude

that turn around up in the head before went down to the fetus think that was the drastic changes football team

the mental attitude does your saying that lead to changes in performances chain

changes and how they approach the game absolutely a bulletin

00:07:30

is it certainly work here I know this is pretty much the same roster that that that had been in

atlast 219 season in 2011 were there somebody Kia dishes

basically the same rosters we brought in some new recruits we did have some kids that played Earl

early but minus -2 3 people basically the same people

now i watch the interview did for the Ohio Valley Conference distributor

what you said your team now have to be careful I have a handle of successive thing

how to say hungry so to speak to keeping a winning team how do you think your players are just

00:08:05

adjusting to love to a second your success well I really right now at this point

handling it really well obviously I believe for rent I don’t even know what were right

the rankings come out later today I don’t know 4432 I have no

I have no idea that those type of things I’ve been there really not important to me but I know this

I know the school and community everybody else gets excited about being ranked in the top 5 butts

but to me to me that it’s it’s it’s what we doin

inside that import how are family handles to success we’ve had we like to call it

00:08:40

the Carter Family on La Familia are Ohana weird we have we always

what to eat other inside the family to make sure that were crossing Ortiz live that work

where doing everything that we can to make us better as an individual and becoming

cumming better as individual make this better as a teen set something up

what I’m here and there is if you’re really concerned about them not just about player performance buttons

what in some ways people as well these if your players go to a god

go to play professional football probably not going to see the same so tender loving care from the coaches

00:09:15

coaches are just going to be interested in performance II tical are guys all the time at the last

last time that you’re going to enjoy a football is right now I have over 30 players in the National Football League

Molly and I said that is a business and your body is a company and you’re the CEO of

yo if your company I said the last time that you’re going to enjoy football the last time you going to walk

practice with your smiling face is college football and it’s really important

important to me that we attack these guys 3 prong

attack them academically because their student first and we 18 active athletics

00:09:50

because we need to be good on the football field order to hire someone else to be to coach and I like being the coach

what year and for that we want to tackle spiritually and some people are further along

spiritual beliefs than others what we want to do if we want to incubate to put the seat

the seed in the ground put fertilizer on their and in that they may not sprout while it’s here with

here with us this is going to sprout Sundays sprout later on and what gets water in a cup

come back here and there going to be excited about our three pronged attack on how

we really want to make them better as a person a better father a better husband

00:10:25

better son and if they don’t make it in college football do I still have positive influences

what is an any community that they choose to live in this is your first up position as

janessa head coach you have been assistant coach in a lot of different schools over the last quarter

quarter century in the programs that you saw the successful ones

is that did you see approaches like that ain some of them I did I mean there’s a lot of

ways as coaches we always say there’s a lot of ways to win a football game and there’s a lot of

waterways Toledo football team that the thing that I wanted to do 555 been around people

00:11:00

people have been extremely successful doing positive reinforcement and negative

negative reinforcement I just choose to do it from Apopka pronto pawn

a positive ground I want to be a positive I can with the Players I want to be completely honest

I would like to say inappropriate grams we live in a black and white world

when there is no gray with a standard greyed out there but we don’t want a lot of grey are programs

Graham so we try to put a light on things we speak the truth and we know it

we know that sometimes the truth gone hurt but were speaking the truth so we can

00:11:35

so we can have a change in a habit or performance & B

alot happy about the outcome and I think that that light of truth that Pyrenees

operating is was one of the things that brings so much closer together

as a family on the football team and is is that in a protein

what you’ve always gravity 2 or is it something that that you’ve come to develop over your

you know it is something that I’ve gravitated to a lot of people

people that a major influence on my police in the way I go about doing things one of my latest

00:12:10

people that work with the biggest influence on me that are brought from Baylor University

building a positive atmosphere he wants does kids lifted and not broken

broken down and I think that is perpetuated through me and I tried to carry that through the wire for

San Diego was lucky enough to come away with win that game so we really been depleted

it was the most difficult schedule never seen the way they handle that the mental toughness through

threw it the physical pain if they had to go through and then cumming

just coming just a hair short of going undefeated im so proud of these guys

it’s one of the greatest accomplishment fiber been around football and I’ve been up I’ve been a college football coach

00:14:30

coach Rover quarter of a century now you have a tough opponent coming up this weekend in Tennessee

Tennessee State Tennessee State will be the best team that we played Sophie

so far tour conference its not even close the guys are undefeated there a nationally ranked

clear aint a little bit lower than enough rod reader coaches an exceptional

snowcoach we gotta go down playing Ana in Tennessee Titans Stadium the movie game

the game 2 of an NFL stadium is there homecoming baby got this

disc dynamic marching band that’s going to play for an extended period of time

00:15:05

time over half time is going to be a full house it’s going to be a heck of an atmosphere I was telling the guy

the guys on Sunday that you know this is the game is the type of games that you’re coaches wish they could

wish they could play one more game but were too old to do there so lucky is going to be so exciting

riding and and they deserve it babe babe handle to business they buy

undefeated in conference and now they’re their reward is an opportunity to play in a big

big time game in a big time then you would not only has a local

gold and uh I mean not only has local attention Bell have Nashua

00:15:40

national attention the game person to win this game will be known nationally Ave

have a major player with the comic the playoffs in the second half of season your team

what team won the Mid America classic with Illinois State last month and then

status just a long time rivalry with Redbirds there was winning that particular gay men porn

importance psychologically for your players think it was in there that there’s a lot of history

history that game of head football coach there Brock Spack a dear friend of mine

what I actually started coaching to get here 1987 East Illinois we’re on the same staff

00:16:15

staff very good friend him have him and his wife my wife and

we play last year in a business in double overtime so gone

regardless of all the other stuff it was great to finally get to eating win against my buddy

buddy with with our football team but if your game is in play for over 100 years

and really traditionally whoever’s won the game between East Illinois Illinois State

state has normally God had a lot of success in your conference so it’s kind of a

agape of where your football team is at early based off of a lot of kids

00:16:50

kids that know each other with most protein from Chicago to St Louis area I’m wondering what it’s like

is like also when you’re when you’re playing against a coach you know when you’ve worked with if nothing else

Mel’s the two of you must be no stuff about each other than other coaches with no against era

is there a Ponce there’s no doubt there’s no doubt I was up

is darvocet a wreck and I was I was sitting in my car the day before the game

the game going over my note and I see a coach bag is why

what is wife Amy do I keep taking a morning walk before the game there and their

00:17:25

hotels close to R Us stadium in the walking through the park

parking lot actually going to the old house if they used to live in in 1987

walking to the parking lot in the only people in the parking lot of my car with me in the car in MO

Eminem walking across the parking lot now I roll down the window and I just without you

name I said you know when you’re walking through a parking lot you try to be inconspicuous

you gotta make sure that the one person that can recognize Union tire communities that city

intercar studying the note and they just broke out in the laughter and O

00:18:00

we got the exchange pleasantries before the game which was really cool because we’re really doing

enjoy enjoy each other and then of course what’s the game starts in the pregame stuff in you

my football teams looking at me and his football teams looking at him you don’t want a whole bunch of hugging going on in milk

Millfield between two old men so it worked out it was all grade and

and by the grace of God we gotta we gotta get on this year it’s all even butter

but there’s no doubt I know to be ready for some action I’m wondering this a change of subject

cure weed up done some discussion WY Lorena frontline documentaries

00:18:35

Medford for PBS looking at the uses of concussions in the NFL

Jerome program looking at changes and how high school coaches in official 7

handled a concussion issues at that level of the game how have things changed over the

over the years in college football as to how you handle players who made

suffered concussions and how you teach in drill players to reduce the risk of concussions

well it if it’s all changed I mean the football that I played

in football that you know the growing up back in the 70’s in the 80’s is

00:19:10

is totally different I think that people always talk tackling with her with her head back

back their head up you not to drop your head because of the spinal cord injuries

can happen when you drop your head you trying to use your head as a ramming object when you’re naked

is it between your head in your body that that’s that’s not conducive that’s not very smart but

but that the striking of the head is really changed and the officials are there really on

really on top of it we had players that had to sit out this year and I football

football team because of helmet to helmet contact on a play at Northern Illinois

00:19:45

why wear if that would happen if that play was done when I play football

jumping up and down celebrating getting a half helmet sticker and now its a

its a 15 yard penalty in the young man had to sit out half a football game so the rules

definitely changed and really I think Ive been changed for the better I think this is a grey

the great game I think the fantastic game I think it’s a physical game which is the reason why

PF the number one game in in the United States of America is because it is so physical

and take away from the county for these young men can not only

00:20:20

only up have a great experience with the game but normal life after the game I think

Mike think is is is awesome I think kudos for the people that have the same place in

hopefully to quickly run through pro football college football high school

school football in pee wee football so that we can live in a season reason lemonade so many concussions

so you’re not seeing much resistance to offer from some people think this is it

is it really the way to play the game we should be playing at Michaels play this a few years back you know

you know I think that the statement that you said its been made it comes to resist

00:20:55

resistance I mean 130 play football is to win the game and

415 your pill neon something every single time you do it you can have a hard time

what time when the game so it’s not about the resistance to change the rules on a Ferrari

already implementing the rules of the road so if we want to win we gotta buy by the roll

by the rules so I’ll make sure will get that hot when it when it happens if it happened

happening at the accidents about something that deliver in Argyle pay the penalty and will move on

eventually because of that I think it’ll slowly we to self out of the game disc

00:21:30

just got an email in from on educational psychology professor at the U of I actually

he was asking more about us about

aboutyou what what you meant by using the word spirituality in terms of other things

things you wouldn’t couraging among your players 1201 weed

obviously you can’t talk religion you can talk politics everybody everybody gets excited

excited about that stuff you can talk about what we want to make sure that everybody Street

3 prong experience that we have chapel service during the week which is obviously option

00:22:05

optional we have things that we do it before games and after game

what are optional we just wanted to make sure that the young man have everything open to anything

are willing and want to explore it is available to are there are the options

auctions for spirituality can a person develop of spiritual side of support to the Grove

Grosse Ile outside of of a traditional organized religion do you think

I don’t even know if I’ve got the background of the Daleks Steven speak on that is probably somebody that you like

better than I ok

00:22:40

are you know one thing that come up if you keep on doing this well if you continue to

the head coach unsuccessful seasons of the schools are likely to come call

I’m calling for you do you have long range goals in your coaching career

career that include moving up to a bigger football school

what’s your contract is up you know it everyone’s people like to talk about

about the money in and moving up in your personal goals I mean what I say what I came to you

do you cook a hat I took a major financial pay cut a major financial pay cut

00:23:15

it wasn’t about the money it was about having an opportunity instead of leading

10 and 12 minutes position Groupon offer to leave a hundred mad and that’s why

that’s what’s so exciting about me the job the next job I want

is the job that I have if I can just be happy at the job that I haven’t Maya players are happy with the job

job and I’m doing that I’m excited I’m in Alaska replaced when I work

if you have to be to head football coach if this job ever opens up and I want to be happy

football coach at Eastern Illinois University well it didn’t open up for 25 years has the same Manhattan

00:23:50

and had a job so fine lucky enough to stay here 25 years and I still want me I think that would be a blessing

blessing to self I’m wondering if you know it turns off of setting up mi

Pamela’s thinking about the future for the players are II imagine you know

on average in any football in any football team with your level a certain amount

amount of your players are going to go over to play some sort of professional ball and the rest

breast want for for for for whatever reason what happened to stats for is life after college football

football is concerned for your for Twilight think I think the coolest thing that happened today

00:24:25

do you need to make sure you get your college degree which is something that we on for size all the time in your

and when you’re at Eastern Illinois office for your college degree carries a lot of weight without college

degree in the camaraderie and competitiveness that you had on the football field

you hope that carries over into whatever job or career you decide to do

how to do and you always have the camaraderie or the Fellowship of that football

football team coming back in and join hands and the talking about old men

memories weather itself off homecoming game or something to that sort I think anything

00:25:00

anytime that you’re a member of an association of a fraternity or sorority of a club

I think that the best thing for outreaches after your college

experience of people that you’re going to be a lien on go back on anything help you professionally

Lee and personally in your career so to meters nothing more special than being a member

remember of a football team and having that Fellowship throughout your life

5 and an art do you have any contact Wolverine to play college football

football back in the day yes sir what what did you play at iPlay to the universe

00:25:35

University of Hawaii okay are you in touch with a in any of your old Coplay

call players back absolutely I spoke with my college roommate adjust

just yesterday and we’ve been in contact with each other oh my goodness

well that’s over 30 years he called his kids call me uncle

go to my kids call him Uncle Mike Epps why do we call it Michael you not really

really related to its just calling Michael so I had anybody

geyser with you forever I mean its just like being a part of a military unit not the same

00:26:10

send a football like military because of she got the life and death is nothing more serious or more

special then serving your country but I mean that Fellowship is strong it stays with the

with the football player throws life of an forevermore

you’re always related to the family of your African American hair seem to be more

more African American head coaches in college football today

I have been for a long time do you feel opportunities are opening up now

now for black coaches in ways that they were not before welfare mean

00:26:45

I mean yeah I think I think. I also think that when I came into the professional

fashion in 1984 was the first time that I

I started coaching I just think that the the numbers of African

American have increased in well as well site that wasn’t as many as the

as there is the pool grows I think there’s more talent to the pool and of sleep

sleep more to choose from don’t feel like to get into the race parts

because I would like to think that I was Hardy still annoyed because I was the best candidate for the job

00:27:20

my resume with long it was expensive I mean uh expensive excuse me
