SUN Coaches Podcast

Coach White is a native of Virginia Beach Virginia where he played his college ball at Liberty University. He started his career in Virginia, coached high school and college ball before coming to Georgia as a high school assistant. Coach White has had a great career as an assistant and a HFC over the past 30+ years. I hope you enjoy his story as much as I enjoyed talking with him!

Kevin Saunders is a native of Radford Virginia. He has been a HFC in Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Georgia. He won a state championship in Virginia as a HFC and has an uncanny ability of taking really bad programs and turning them into playoff teams...quickly. Coach Saunders currently serves as the DC at Duluth High School in Gwinnett County in Georgia after stepping away from head coaching during the pandemic. It won't be long before someone with a brain picks him up to come turn their program around! I nope you enjoy Coach Saunder's story!

From his outstanding career as a football player at Robert E Lee HS to his current retirement coaching gig in LA (Lower Alabama), Coach Devoursney became one of the winningest football coaches in the state of Georgia. One of the hardest working, hardest nosed, and most intelligent humans you'll ever encounter, "Devo" is one of the true LEGENDS in the game. I hope you enjoy our conversation!

Paul Carroll is one of the best football coaches to ever do it. A standout player at Georgia Southern, Coach Carroll worked his way up the ranks to the HFC position the old-fashioned way: he earned it! Paul is a throwback, old school, no nonsense, hit you in the mouth coach which directly reflects how he was as a player. I hope you thoroughly enjoy Coach Carroll's story!

Coach Hamilton has over 33 years of experience and I dare say he has more t-shirts than even I do!

Coach Hamner is one of the most influential people in my coaching universe. I have known him for near 30 years. He is a football coach, period. One of the best offensive minds in the the game, he rose through the ranks working for some of the legends in the game. Thought of as one of the premier strength coaches and OCs over the years, Coach Hamner has had one of the best careers in the game. I hope you enjoy his story!

Kevin Smith is one of the best humans you'll ever come across. He ain't a bad football coach either! A native of Lagrange, Coach Smith played for a legend, started his career with 2 legends, and is becoming a legend himself. His episode is longer than any other I have had and it is well worth the listen I assure you! I hope ya'll enjoy his message as much as I enjoyed receiving it!

I've known Coach Nash for a long time. He is a real one. With one of the most unique paths to the Big Chair I have ever heard of, Coach Nash has spent his career being a "jack of all trades and master of none" as he says. I don't buy it. He is a master of kids for sure. He was "raised" by great coaches, worked for some legends, and now is building future legends. I hope you enjoy Mike's story as much as I enjoyed talking with him!

Coach Hoffman has a long and storied career coaching multiple sports in the state of Georgia. Throughout his career he has been named Coach of the Year several times in football and wrestling. He is in the Wrestling Hall of Fame. Coach Hoffmann attended Clemson University on a wrestling scholarship and retired from coaching public schools and is now coaching and serving as the AD and HFC at Flint River Academy. Coach Hoffman has probably forgotten more about coaching than most know about it. I hope you enjoy Coach Hoff's story!

Coach May is a native of Florida. He started his career at the NAIA college level and moved back to Florida where he got his first HFC job at 25 years of age. Coach May had a lot of success and made the move to Georgia. Bobby has been a successful coordinator and parlayed that into another head coaching position. He is one of the good ones for sure! I hope you enjoy Coach May's Story!
