What is your coach philosophy? “I believe if you teach players to become good men of integrity and character, then everything else will fall into place. As far as football, I am a defensive-minded coach. Offensively, I am a wing system guy, but I have been converted by my younger assistants to begin throwing the ball more.”
Favorite food? “Steak.”
Country or Rock? “All country and 80’s rock.”
Favorite group? “Chris Stapleton.”
Hero? “My dad [David Hampton] because he showed me how to be a good man by always working hard to take care of our family. He is the most reliable, steady, and humble person I’ve ever known.”
