New defensive coordinator!!!

I am SOOOOOO excited that Matt has been promoted to Defensive Coordinator!!!  My sweet husband has put in 100+ hour weeks for 6 years now doing a job that he absolutely loves.  I know I complain about his time away from home but when I see him after games all lit up like a lightning bug, I have to shut myself up.  He's so good at what he does and so deserves this.


The job became available when Coach Miller took the head coach position at Lewisville High School.  It was hard to see Coach Miller leave; not only was he Matt's coach in high school, but he was also his best friend on the staff.  But his leaving left a huge opportunity for Matt that we just weren't quite sure if Coach Joseph was going to give him.  In all honesty, there are not a lot of 27 year old coordinators in the state.  Combine that with the fact that it was at KATY, we just had to pray that it would happen.


We found out recently that Matt got the job, and Matt spoke at his first clinic this weekend.  It's so fun to see him "grow up" in his job, if that makes any sense at all.  It will be SO MUCH more responsibility (and hours, ugh) but it will also be worth it.  I know Matt will do so well as a coordinator and he will have FUN!

So between our new baby and Matt's new job, next football season should be interesting! Congrats, Matty!
