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 3:10 - The realities of working for ESPN and calling games 11:35 - Colt’s earliest memories of football 18:51 - The impact of Colt’s dad 23:05 - Earning a scholarship to The University of Texas 34:53 - Colt’s career at UT 47:51 - Colt’s greatest memory at UT 58:00 - The state of College football 59:00 - The Michael Crabtree story 1:04:47 - The toughest environments to play in 1:06:44 - Colt’s NFL career 1:09:17 - The biggest learning curve going from the NCAA to the NFL 1:17:54 - Who’s the best athlete you’ve ever seen? 1:19:23 - What Colt misses the most about being in the NFL 1:21:18 - Who’s the scariest player you’ve gone up against? 1:23:47 - What was the hardest hit you’ve ever taken? 1:26:31 - The decision to leave the NFL and life after football

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.”

@ohnohedidnt24 Prater such a stud.

Josh Allen: "Honestly, I met (Matt Prater) in the locker room 2 days ago, he showed me a video of his son playing quarterback...and today before the game he comes up to me...before we even take the field, he just said hey I promise you I'm gonna give you everything I got tonight"

EVERYTHING'S BIGGER IN TEXAS My man Quinn Ewers, who is on Gruden's QB Class TONIGHT at 7pm EST, got this box put together from the Texas Longhorns and MAN do I love that burnt orange. Thank you Coach Sark and all of @TexasFootball for this box, HOOK 'EM!

“I thought he had a really good combine and was poised for a big year last season until his injury" - Sark is incredibly high on Isaiah Bond and thinks that people haven't seen his best on the field yet due to injuries last season.

Coach Sark thinks that Quinn Ewers has the mental makeup to succeed in the NFL and that him getting healthy will be huge when it comes to his success at the next level. Excited to see where Quinn goes in this year's draft!

“The only question was his speed, and then he goes out and runs that time at the combine.." - Steve Sarkisian thinks that Matthew Golden has no unanswered questions heading into the Draft after running an incredible 40 at the combine

@AZCardinals @mcbtrey Congrats Trey!! Well deserved!!

Can't stop smiling 😄

@joethomas73 Lookin good!! 🤘

Had to go down to visit “The Legends” @ColtMcCoy home state to get the best Wagyu genetics in the world 🔥🔥

Listen to what he had to say here: m.youtube.com/watch?v=3tY3C7…

Texas has been so close the last few seasons. I asked Sark what it would take to get to the next level and win a national championship.
