Off season? There is no such thing!

Everyone always wants to know what goes on during the "off season". Well, I'm here to tell you that there is NO off season. I can't talk about any other teams, but I can tell you that the Faulkner football staff goes year round. School has been out for about two weeks now, so let me give you a run down of what we have been up to.

The past two weeks have been spent on the road for every coach on staff. Not only have we been out looking for final few pieces of our 2008 squad, but we have already begun hitting the upcoming seniors (2009) class very heavily. This is no easy task when you consider just how many schools are out there. So this is how we did it.

Gregg Baker hit 21 schools in Southwest Alabama.
Cam Clark hit 20 schools in Georgia.
Eric Howell hit 19 schools in Southeast Alabama.
Chuck Knapp hit 18 schools in North Florida.
Chad Franklin hit 18 schools in North Alabama
Dean Briggs is hitting 18 schools in Mississippi...right now.
I would also like to say that Coach Baker came back into town just long enough to top off his tanks and has headed back out to hit the Nashville area.

That is over 115+ schools in two weeks visited by our coaching staff. From Nashville to Panama City, we have been getting our name out there. We also know that there are schools that we have not visited, don't worry, we are on those in the next few weeks.

Now that some of us are back from the road, we are hard at work breaking down film and preparing for Samford...it will be here before you know it.

Now, to answer your question...there is no off season for Faulkner football. Jim Nichols and his staff knows that we have been giving a giant task of building a program. Not just any program, but a program that will make Faulkner University proud for years to come. This is no easy job and we remind ourselves daily on just how important this is. Continue to pray for this University and this program. Thank you for your support.

GO EAGLES!
