I’m excited to welcome legendary Shaw head football coach Hank Tierney to my podcast!

Coach Tierney is one of the all-time winningest coaches in Louisiana high school football history.

In this episode, we dive deep into:

The resurgence of Shaw football

Coach Z's early belief and influence on Coach Hank

Building the culture of the Shaw program in the 70s and 80s (MANY former players names mentioned)

His legendary first run in the 80s & 90s (including the 1987 State Championship)

Coming back decades later and delivering Shaw’s second state title in 2024

Life lessons that go way beyond the football field.

My co-host for this episode is one of Coach’s former players — Jimmy Hintz (Class of ’83) — and we proudly dedicate this episode to the memory of Donald “Truck” Hymel (Class '81), a great friend, former student, and equipment manager for Coach Tierney.

This is Louisiana high school football royalty. You don’t want to miss it.

Full episode drops Wednesday, April 29th. Short clips coming starting Monday, April 20th!
