Prior to joining the Titans, Fassel spent several years as the special teams coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys and the Los Angeles Rams, where he even served as the Rams’ interim head coach in 2016. Throughout his career, he has consistently led top-tier units, earning praise for his ability to develop young players into all-pro talent.

For the 15th Underground Huddle, our guest was Caleb Kimbrough, the head basketball coach at Hampden-Sydney College and a current client of ours at BUILD. Now entering his seventh season as head coach, Coach Kimbrough has led his team to three straight 20-win seasons. Two years ago, the Tigers posted a 31-3 record and made it to the national championship game in the Division III tournament. With multiple championships, All-Americans, records, and coach of the year awards to his name, Coach Kimbrough is the definition of a Disciplined Leader. Not because of the accolades, but because he prioritizes the most important things in his life: his wife, Marlee, and his three children, Nash, Shep, and Rae O’Grady. Recorded September 2025.
