The initial podcast in the series is up on GoRedFoxes. Scroll down on the main page to find it.
1st and Goal is produced and hosted by two football alum. In this episode they interview President Weinman and Coach Willis in a far ranging 50,000 foot discussion regarding the competitive and student development goals of the program as well as the direction of the program under Coach Willis. The second half of the podcast is almost exclusively a far ranging Q&A with the coach that gives him a chance to drill down a bit on the schedule, recruiting, and how he assembled the staff.

I thought Coach Willis’ take that NIL at FCS schools was unsustainable and unrealistic was interesting. He actually believes that it was the same at some FBS schools, but felt the players at that level should be able to share in the huge sums of revenue generated by the sport. He was also ready with his wishlist of off budget items and initiatives he believes Marist needs that could be addressed by fundraising. Things like capital improvements in certain equipment, technology related to athletic training and nutrition, technology related to coaching and game prep, and enhancements to the recruiting budget.
I also thought it was cool when Omar the guest football alum from Texas who works in public education and youth development in the Houston area asked how/if he could help Marist recruit in Texas. Unsurprisingly Willis had an answer.
