At High Point, Flynn Clayman runs his staff differently.
Instead of assistants doing a little bit of everything, he assigns coordinators:
One owns offense.
One owns defense.
One owns special teams.
Not traditional. But intentional.
Because when everyone is responsible for everything… no one truly grows.
Clayman learned this from his mentors. When he was trusted to run the offense, it accelerated his development. So now, he does the same for his staff.
Yes, you give up some control.
But you gain clarity, ownership, and better coaching.
Assistants aren’t just helping anymore.
They’re leading.
And when coaches grow, the team grows.
Build a staff where people can specialize, own their role, and thrive, not just survive.
Are you asking your people to do everything… or putting them in positions to be great at something?

Everybody wants discipline… until discipline gets loud.
Everybody wants toughness… until toughness gets uncomfortable.
Hard coaching isn’t abuse.
Hard coaching is correction.
Hard coaching is standards.
Hard coaching is loving a kid enough not to let him stay average.
If a coach is demanding effort, detail, toughness, and accountability bothers you… that probably says more about today’s culture than it does the coach.

Why invest in college sports? College presidents, board members, athletic directors, admissions offices, and fundraising teams know that successful athletics enrolls students, fills beds, and builds new buildings.
Florida Gulf Coast’s admissions applications increased over 27% after their Sweet 16 run. Visits on the FGCU admissions page jumped from 2,280 to 42,793.
Butler’s applications nearly tripled after two Final Fours while the university was able to build, expand, and upgrade $255M in campus facilities including a business school and a new arts center.
George Mason’s admissions office inquiries went up 350% after their Final Four run in 2006 including a 54% increase in out-of-state applications.
In the 1980’s, John Chaney’s men’s basketball program changed the landscape of Temple University as a whole helping increase freshmen enrollment by 18.1% and transfer enrollment by 6.1%.
Nick Saban’s football program helped propel the University of Alabama. Between 2007 and 2022, enrollment at Alabama increased by 51%, from 25,580 to 38,645 students. In that same time, the college more than tripled its endowment, surpassing a record $1 billion in 2022. It also has nearly doubled its physical footprint, adding an engineering quad and state-of-the-art dorms and recreational facilities.

This is what the University of Houston president and many in academics emphasized years ago when I was there.
Athletic success increases prestige. It increases your reach, interest, and name recognition.
Often, leading to better students and a boost in alumni donations.

Talked to a plugged-in HPU alumnus yesterday. She said within 24 hours of Wisconsin win, High Point had 19,000 requests for student tours. 19,000! Matriculation will be limited largely by logistics/space. Crazy.
