Ready for Some Football?

If you’re a diehard football fan, you’re likely ready for some football right about now … so you stayed glued to the TV watching the NFL draft this weekend hoping your favorite team picked up some franchise players. (Of course, we Dallas Cowboys fans didn’t have to watch the first day of the draft since we didn’t get our first pick until the 3rd round! But that’s a whole other story...)

Well, if you want more football and you live in the Dallas area, you won’t want to miss PowerLunch on Tuesday. Todd Graham, one of college football’s premier coaches, will be joining us at the weekly gathering we host that features great guest speakers.

Now, Todd’s not related to me, but I sure don’t mind people thinking that he is! Todd has led the University of Tulsa to consecutive 10-win seasons. Before that, he led Rice University to its first bowl berth in 45 years, which earned him Conference USA Coach of the Year honors. At Tulsa, they love him so much that in January he signed a 10-year deal. Not many coaches get that kind of security!

We love him, too. I’ve known Todd since 1996, when he was coaching at Allen High School, where my son Josh played. He led Allen to five playoff berths in six seasons. More importantly, he was a great coach and mentor to a lot of boys.

Come join us and learn about leadership from one of the most successful leaders I know.
