T.J. White sits down with Keith in today’s episode of the USA Football Coach and Coordinator podcast. White currently serves as head coach at Birmingham-Southern (Ala.). Under White's guidance as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, Centre College (Ky.) averaged a team-record 499.1 yards per game in 2015. He dishes on life as a Division III coach, the importance of the little things and why coaches should never claim that “not having enough heart” was the reason for a loss.
