Today, my good friend @ColtMcCoy joins me for a deep and personal discussion about his path from small-town Texas to 14 seasons in the NFL, the mentors and moments that shaped him, and the intentional process of stepping away from the game. We talk through his early years growing up on the sidelines, the day he went from being a complete unknown to over 100 Division 1 offers, and the mindset he built while earning the starting job and leading Texas to the National Championship.
Colt reflects on the physical and emotional toll of the 2009 title-game injury, the realities of NFL life, and the teammates, coaches, and owners who influenced him most. He also opens up about the year-long discernment process that led him to retire, move his family to Fort Worth, and build a new career in real estate.
We discuss:
• Colt’s early upbringing around football and how it shaped his identity
• Winning the starting job, leading Texas for four seasons, and the highs and lows along the way
• The 2009 national championship injury and its lasting impact
• Lessons from 14 years in the NFL, including leadership, longevity, and adapting his game
• His decision to retire, prioritize family, and pursue a new path in Fort Worth real estate
• The role of faith, patience, and discernment in navigating major life transitions

I highly recommend this episode.
We massively underestimate the role that chance plays in career success. We usually only hear from the lucky ones…
But what happens when a bad break changes the course of your life?
Just two football plays cost Colt McCoy:
—A shot at two national championships
—A probable Heisman
—A first round draft selection
—Untold millions of dollars
How do you find success and remain grateful when “what could have been” doesn’t happen?👇

In this clip with Colt, he discusses his interview with the reporter after a devastating injury in the 2009 National Championship game. “God has a wonderful plan for my life and playing tonight wasn’t part of the plan. So you just move on.”

I talked to Sark about Arch Manning and couldn't be more excited to see him on the field this next season. Longhorns fans, he has the IT factor.
