This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Texas A&M 12th Man tradition, and a big part of that tradition is the 12th Man Kickoff Team. Back in 1982, Jackie Sherrill, Texas A&M's football coach, decided that he would start a kickoff squad made up entirely of walk-ons, thus creating one of the best traditions in college football. Our guests today, Dave Coolidge, Ike Liles, and Dennis Mudd, will be sharing their experiences being involved in the 12th Man Kickoff, as well as their reasons for joining that tradition in the first place, and the leadership lessons they learned along the way. You can find show notes and more information by clicking here: www.brianbeckcom.org/dave-coolidge-ike-liles-and-dennis-mudd
