Today’s guest is John Weaver, the associate athletic director, wide receivers coach, and interim offensive coordinator at Madison Ridgeland Academy. He has taken on the role of offensive coordinator for the beginning of the season and has been tasked with creating the identity of their offense which he built upon going extremely fast.
