There's no other profession like this. There's no other profession where you get to not just pour into your athletes, but you get to pour into kids that you come across every day in the classroom. There's no other profession that that has that gratification of seeing a first generation kid go to college, seeing a kid that maybe didn't excel early on excel later. Dive in. Dive in. It's going to be lonely. There's going to be some tough times, but but once you see that that smile on that kid's face walking across the stage or them calling you three years down the road and like, hey, this happened. I remember you saying that this would happen. Like, like there's nothing like those phone calls. So I would say dive in. It's it's it's hard, but but it's truly a remarkable profession.
SPEAKER_02:Hi, Texas High School football fans. Welcome to episode 105. We've got a great one here today, diving into a brand new era for the Houston Memorial Mustangs.
SPEAKER_03:So today I'm joined by the new head football coach and campus athletic director, Coach Brooks Hack. Coach Hack is stepping into some big shoes, taking over for Coach Gary Koch, who led the program for an incredible 30 years. That's three decades of dedication. I will say this one's personal because I live in the Memorial area. I've got cousins who go to Memorial High School, and I know firsthand what an awesome community this is. So I was so excited to get to know Coach Hack and hear about his vision for the Mustang football program. This was a great chat because we talked a little bit about everything, from his days playing quarterback at Katy High School under legendary coach Gary Joseph. We talked about his college football days and how it led him to his first ever coaching job. We covered his experience winning a state championship back in December as offensive coordinator with the Richmond Randall Lions. And of course, we talked about the vision, his passion, his energy, his championship experience, and so much heart that he is bringing to the Mustangs football program. I know y'all are gonna love this one because you can just hear the passion in his voice. So let's get to it. Please enjoy Coach Brooks Hack.

SPEAKER_00:How are you doing?
SPEAKER_03:Good. How are you doing?
SPEAKER_00:Good.
SPEAKER_03:Awesome. I really appreciate your time today.
SPEAKER_00:Yes, ma'am. Absolutely.
SPEAKER_03:And I'm excited to get to know you and hear all about your vision for the Mustangs. And uh, I want to say this one is a little personal because I live in the memorial area. I have cousins that go to memorial and I have aunts that went there. So I'm excited to hear all about the program and about you.
SPEAKER_00:I'm starting to learn this place is like there's really a six degrees of separation. Somebody at some point has some tie to memorial around this whole area. It's grandparents went there, then the parents went there. Now they're a kid. Like it's but I mean I understand why it's such a special place.
SPEAKER_03:Absolutely. It's like a ripple effect. Everyone just stays in that area. It's a great place to be. And I know that you you live there and then you went off to Richmond Randall and you came back. So I'm excited to hear about the journey. So we'll right away just take it back to your high school days. You grew up in Katie playing Texas high school football yourself and a storied program under coach Gary Joseph. So how did that environment shape your approach to football and coaching today?
SPEAKER_00:So I mean, I think that anytime you're able to play under a coach or in a system that that um breeds excellence like they do, you you you learn things kind of through osmosis. And and I know I wasn't in the the coaches' meetings and things like that, but um you just learn so much as a player and like how the coaches handle themselves, how they interact with the other players, how the structure of everything is. And I think that's one of the things that just I knew I was always gonna be a coach, but like even made it more of a thing because um just seeing the structure that was going on at KD and the success and and the coaches not wanting to leave and staying there. Heck, there's still coaches there that were there prior to me being there, and um all through my time as well. And and I think that says something to the culture that Coach Joseph has built and the program that he's built.
SPEAKER_03:Learning by watching really good role models. It's you mentioned it a little bit, you always wanted to be a coach.
SPEAKER_00:Uh yes, ma'am. I mean, uh both my parents, my dad coached in college actually for 18 years um of women's softball. And then when when he was leaving the University of Alabama, um, we moved back to Texas, where like where both of them are originally from. And so they both started out um in that coaching realm. My mom coached softball, dad did um both softball and um football early on. Um, and then obviously my mom went up into the upper administration, and then my dad just um retired this past year. So this is his first season, and I don't know how long that uh I haven't seen him out there on the softball field. So um just learning what I've been able to through them and watching them. Heck, even when I was growing up, they coached both my sister and I, whether it was little league soccer or baseball, softball, t-ball, all the way up through. And like just watching them and it was just like a um first class ticket to on what it's like to be a coach, um the time, commitment that it takes to be the coach and and all things uh like that.
SPEAKER_03:I know you've got a front row seat to being a coach. It's not an easy life, but it's great that you've kind of grown up into it. So you already know the the way of life and how much dedication it takes. And I love that your dad, he is now retired, he'll probably be coming to a lot of your games.
SPEAKER_00:Oh yeah, he he's already said he wants a headset in a booth and and tracking offense or do whatever whatever we need. I was like, I don't know if you need to be on the headset. We'll just we'll we'll get you a uh a chair with the Mustang on the back of it, and you can go sit sit next to my mom and and and wife and and little man.
SPEAKER_03:So can be your your hype man out there. Well, that's so exciting. After high school, you went and played college football. So talk to me about how those experiences impacted your coaching style.
SPEAKER_00:So I I think I was obviously very lucky and afforded the opportunity to go play at uh Louisiana Lafayette. Um now, once again, didn't didn't probably play as much as I was absolutely hoping to, but um also one of those things was I was able to see the background of things and and I was able to go around and and be in more meetings, seeing how on the process of everything worked. And and obviously like I knew going into it, probably wasn't the NFL, probably wasn't gonna be the thing, but how can I further and get my um career moving forward? So, I mean, I obviously always wanted to um, like I said, be a coach. I always wanted to really be in college. And so I was afforded the opportunity from my connections while playing in college to get my first um job over at McKnee State once I finished playing. Um so I was over, I was able to be at McNey State for a couple years um before getting the call down to um come back to the Houston area and start the high school realm. But I just know through those connections that I was able to build while playing and then even coaching um has definitely helped me with the whole recruiting landscape of things and and knowing I can pick up that phone and call some of those guys of hey, you need to come down to Memorial High School. We got some we got some talent down here and and making sure that that that we're getting our kids recruited as well. So um it's kind of um twofold of yeah, it was it was awesome, awesome experience to be able to um play football, be able to get uh school paid for, um, all things, but then also start my career as a coach and and do those things.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, it sounds like you had such great experiences and great connections. I think I learned quickly, is that you? It's who you know in this world, and it got you a job right away, which is awesome. And and just recruiting in general, it's it's hard nowadays, especially with the transfer portal and the high school students. It's it's great that you have all those connections with within what just your years in college.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, absolutely. I mean, it's it it with the ever-changing landscape of it, and because I mean, obviously, when I was getting recruited and and all these things, there was no portal, there was no NIL. There, like, I mean, if you if you wanted to leave, you had to go down or you had to sit out a year. So, I mean, like it was it's a whole different ball game. So the fact that I still have a lot of those connections that hey, before I go start telling these kids and these parents of the recruiting landscape, and I'm just making stuff up or getting what I hear on ESPN. No, I can pick up the phone and and call people that are actually going through it and get the um real life knowledge of what it's like and what what it's gonna take for these kids.
SPEAKER_03:Right, that'll be a great benefit for all your athletes there having a firsthand uh experience on that. And now we'll take it to your your time at Richmond Randall. You're coming off a state championship ring, and I I was there at that game, it was a really great one. And what the Lions did in three years is so impressive, and you played a big role in that success. And in some ways, you're kind of you know doing the same thing. You're starting from the ground up, creating your own program here, and it's gonna be an exciting role that you're getting kind of do the same thing. So, what do you learn and what lessons did you bring from that your time at Richmond Randall and that now you kind of want to integrate into your own program?
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, I mean, I think it was one such a special season. Um, I mean, anytime that you're able to go win a state championship, a lot of things got to align. But but a lot of that groundwork was done years in advance. And and I think that, I mean, there's no truer testament to um what a head coach should look like than Coach Randall. And and I mean, I don't think I've ever heard one person say anything bad about him because I mean, he is there for kids and and the relationships that we were able to build um with these kids because these seniors that that that won a state championship, they came to us as freshmen. And they came to us from as freshmen from two different schools. And they were from other junior highs, having a mesh. They were upset that maybe they weren't going to George Ranch or they weren't going to Terry. And then we had to build that bond. And and I mean, obviously the first year we weren't even playing varsity, we were just playing um a bunch of JV teams. And and so, I mean, it was building that camaraderie, and I think then going into the junior highs and making sure, hey, we're building that rapport with those kids as well, because we knew that there was gonna be something special coming up, and and it was building that foundation, and and something that that what we're trying to install and start start the process here at Memorial is there's gotta be a foundation being built, and that's gotta be the guys loving each other, they gotta love being around here, they gotta understand that, hey, it's hard work. I mean, just just to go win one football game, it takes everybody pulling their way, and and but to go do go do it 16 times, um, you're you're doing you're doing a lot of a lot of lifting, a lot of pulling, uh, a lot of grinding, and and you gotta embrace that. And I think what we were able to do at Randall was we got those kids that buy into that, that that, hey, if you want something special, you got to go do something that you've never done before. And and once they were able to start understanding, hey, and then we started having some of that success of past the season before, they were like, okay, hey, I think these old guys know what they're talking about a little bit. We might, we might uh want to listen just a little bit, a little bit closer. And so um I think once they did that, it was it truly aligned, and and we had obviously some great pieces. Um, we had obviously great, great coaches that came in and were able to help build um what the coaches who started from the beginning and the and the program was at the beginning and just elevated us even more. And so obviously I'm bringing one of those guys with me from Randall, um, who was able to help that to be one of our offensive coordinators. Well, he was our offensive line coach this past season. So he kind of knows that work, that kind of grind that that we need as a coach, but then um he knows what it takes to coach and to pour into those kids um to get the best out of them.
SPEAKER_03:I think there's so many layers that you have to have as a coach. And I think what the most thing that I don't people realize is that like what separates a good and a great team is obviously the chemistry and the belief and the program. And and it doesn't just start with the group of athletes that you have right in front of you. You got to go, you know, like to the middle school and get that connection and be early on top of it and setting that foundation, which is just respect for all of you guys that you're just putting work day in, day out. And I know in the youth spring breach area, they have the Tully Bowl for those young Memorial football players. My my little cousins have been in it and they just idolize the football players. So I just think that's a another great way to you know make that chemistry with those younger athletes. And you're taking over a program that was led by Coach Koch for 30 years. He was a great coach and and he leads a great legacy, but Memorial was have not been considered a football powerhouse school in a in a while. So tell me your plans for creating a new culture.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, so I mean, I think it's just it's it's it's one, it's been hitting the ground running. I'm I'm one of those guys that I can't sit back and wait. Like I gotta get involved and and and and really, really start getting going. Because I think one of the things that that I've seen early on is that we gotta get stronger and we gotta be more physical. And and the only way that I know how to do that, and a lot of it comes from my time at Katie. Because I've always felt like, hey, a lot of those games we won before we even stepped out on the field just because people were worried about the physicality and and the name. And that's what I'm trying to bring here of hey, they know when they play Memorial High School, it's gonna be a tough one. And like they're going to fight, they're going to battle, it's going to be the hardest game that they play all year. Well, in order to have that, is you got to train that also. And you got to be able to bring that physicality and that strength out. And so it's it's it's winning up front, it's making sure that that our bigs are they're as strong as can be, they're as physical and nasty as they can. And so a lot of this offseason thus far has been working to get that physicality out of them and understanding, hey, it's okay to have a warrior's mindset. You don't have to be everybody's friend. And so uh there's been a lot of wrestling matches and and competing. Um, I tell the kids every day, hey, every day is a competition. If you want somebody's job, go take it. Um there there's there's nothing that's that's just given out here. And and so when you're breeding that that sense of competition and physicality and and all that, and the kids start buying into it, you kind of see that their their minds are starting to change a little bit. And and when we get into those wrestling matches, hey, I I don't want to be, I don't want to be the guy that loses. And so it's bringing that spirit of competition, and and I mean, as as the saying goes, the iron sharpens iron. And I think on a day-to-day basis, if we can get our best out of each other, and from our kids to our kids to our coaches to our kids, all the things, um, that's when um great things will start to change. And I think that hopefully um we'll get that name recognition back of making good long runs in the playoffs and and fighting for district championships and things like that.
SPEAKER_03:I love right away you hit the ground running and you're already getting them faster, stronger, more powerful. And it sounds like they've all been buying in.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, I mean, it is one of those things, and and I and I told some of the parents because obviously like they've um come and talked to me and how excited that some of their kids are and and all the things. But I was a little worried about first off because I mean I was like, man, I'm about to go zero to a hundred on them real quick. I I tried try to sit back the first couple of days just to kind of um see things and and how things were were kind of worked out around here because obviously going from one place to another, like there's there's a lot of changes, and and like you got to see how things work, things don't work. Well, I knew right away, like, hey, like just the type of guy I am. Like, I I if I gotta go get underneath the bench press to show them power clean, like like that's what's gonna happen. And and it it it I think it was just a different vibe and a different energy. And and I'm I mean, if you could tell, like, I mean, I'm I'm up ready to go. Like, I mean, I like I want to be involved, and and I want the kids to understand that, like, hey, this is how we move, like there's no walking, there's no, like, you're gonna bring energy wherever you go. This this should be the fun part of your day. Like, I go into algebra, going to the biology and stuff, like, yeah, it's dang important, but hey, this is the time you get to go have fun. This is the part of the day that you look forward to, and and I know it is for us as coaches. So it starts with me, it it pours into our coaches, and then that kind of gets our kids um going. And it's that energy and it's that enthusiasm for what we're doing, whether it's weight room or running gassers or whatever the not fun things are, but like you make it fun, and it's that reverse psychology as coaches that we play into those kids.
SPEAKER_03:I love that you just went zero to a hundred. I think that is the best way to learn. You just, you know, dive in the deep. You learn quickly, you make it a habit, and it sounds like it's been such a fun environment. You're just creating all this new energy and change. It just sounds like a fun environment and a great place to be, and we're excited to see what you do with the program. And I know the community is so excited and fired up. So talk to me about the importance of the community.
SPEAKER_00:Well, I I just always knew that hopefully this time would come, regardless of when it was, that I was gonna be able to sit in this chair and and be a head football coach. But I know one thing that I always wrote down, like when I was working through my my notes of what to do when I when I get that opportunity, was I always wanted some place that had that big community, that feel that that that backed the football program, that backed athletic program, um, all those things because I knew what it did for me as a player in high school. There's nothing like Friday night lights. Well, nowadays it's Thursdays and Saturdays too, but but but but there but there's nothing like those Friday nights. And and I wanted that feel of of for those kids to understand, hey, this the community is behind you, like like people are behind you and they want to see you be successful. And and when you have something like that, and like we have at Memorial, which is a lot like a Katie in a sense, of there's there's community members that want this program to be very, very successful and and want us to grow. And so um I have nothing but great things thus far to say about this community. They have been um so awesome. They have asked me, invited me to things, talked to me, like whatever I needed to that that I felt would help us be successful, um, they're here for. And and I can't say enough great things about this community. Um, Miss Weir, our principal, um, who has been and around Memorial and around the community forever. Um, it's it's it's been really, really awesome so far.
SPEAKER_03:I love that. Everyone is just so excited. I've been to a couple of the memorial games in years prior, and I know the the stands haven't been as crowded as they probably once was, but I have a feeling this year there's gonna be a lot of new energy and you're you're gonna get some pack stadiums. So that's something exciting, and especially for those athletes, I agree with you. I think if you got a pack stadium and you feel the energy, it really gets that home field advantage.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, yeah. I mean, it like I said earlier, like I mean, I think some of those games that KD were won before he stepped on the field. And then, I mean, even when we're coming out for pregame or something like that, and you see the half sides packed with red and then the drum line and all of them come in, like, I mean, that that adds that adds a couple extra points to to every single game. The kids feed off the energy. And whether we want to say that there's people that don't believe in momentum or or not, like, I mean, I think there's something to um the crowd being able to interact and get those kids fired up. Because I mean, we've all been in those games where there's nobody there and you got to bring your own energy, and it's tough. But I mean, if you look up and you see the student section going nuts and the bands going crazy, and and there's people there just wanting you to be successful, I think it really, really helps.
SPEAKER_03:I like that. There's a lot of new momentum here, and you guys are just running with it, which this season's gonna be here before we know it. So, what has your program been up to since you've arrived?
SPEAKER_00:So, a lot of it's been like, hey, we got to get grinding in the weight room. I mean, it was was one of those things that I know um to compete at the 6A level, you gotta have the size, you gotta be able to be um, like I said, physical up front. You gotta have the strength. It's a long season, it's a grueling season. So it was a lot, a lot of focus on on getting stronger in the weight room and then creating physicality, whether it was in the mat room or whatever, whatever we could do to get that physical and competition aspect of it. Um, but now it's been okay, well, we're starting to ring ball here now in about a week, week and a half or so. So we started to go outside a little bit more, um, start installing, start, start that transition of learning the offense, learning the defense, um, meetings in the mornings, um, all of those things to now start transitioning more into the football side of things. And I think the kids are now really, really excited because you've been grinding really, really hard. You want to see some of that fun stuff and hey, why we're truly doing what we're doing, and and that's the football aspect of it. But like I told them from the jump, like, hey, if we don't come in here and we don't grind, then hey, we might push spring football. Like you, uh I need to see that y'all are willing to put in the work and do it. And man, they've jumped two feet in and been willing to do that work. So the last three or so weeks, I mean, they've been truly, truly grinding. And so now that that that we're getting ready to go into offseason, we're we're heading full head of steam.
SPEAKER_03:That's so great that everyone is putting in the work. I think nowadays you can be really good at anything because they have the resources, the facilities, the great coaches. So if you want to be good at anything, it's easy. You just gotta put in some work. Easy yet hard. You've got to work hard, but the concept is easier. And obviously, everyone wants to win, especially the instant gratification world that we live in nowadays. But what other ways will measure success this season for you as your first year?
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, so I mean, obviously, a lot of people looked at wins and loss records. I think the more you talk to um head coaches and and and coaches, um as as much as that stuff matters, there's so much more that goes into it. And I and I would venture to say a lot of coaches, yeah, we want to win and lose, but but it's about growing these kids. And it's about pouring um life lessons into them and and that they understand that that hey, you're gonna lose some. Hopefully you win more than you lose, but against all else, like what's your character like? What what are you doing in the face of adversity? Because at some point for all of us, the game ends, whether it's hopefully a long career like Tom Brady or Aaron, like all these guys in NFL, or it's after high school. Well, once you graduate from college or wherever you go, um you gotta have some foundational character, morals, um, all those things. And and and I think success is is so much more than just what's on the scoreboard. And and I think for myself alone, it success is is do we grow these kids? Were these kids better when we got them as ninth graders to when they're graduating as seniors? Um, because I think if we can create productive citizens and and all those things, and we can grow these kids spiritually, mentally, physically, that one that'll help off the field, but I think it translates also on the field as well. And I think that's if if you're growing them in all those areas and building the team, building um camaraderie, that that only help benefits those wins and losses on the field as well. So I mean to put it in perspective, yeah, I mean, I won't I hope we we win every football game that we step on there, but um the nature of the beasts is sometimes that doesn't happen for you, but but I won't I won't determine our success based off of the wins and losses. It'll be more so, hey, do we grow these kids and and are we better off as young men than before we were here?
SPEAKER_03:I 100% agree with that. Football helps you in all aspects of life, and it's a great time to be a Mustang in that memorial community. So we're pumped to watch you and and throughout your season. So before I let you go, we're gonna do some fun rapid fire questions. Um, this first one is if you weren't a football coach, what would you be doing?
SPEAKER_00:Oof. Wonderful. I I'd have to do something in sports. Um, so whether it was physical therapy or something like that, I'd I do not, I'm not the type of guy that could just sit in a cubicle. So I'd have to, I'd have to do physical therapy or or something along athletics um to to in order for me to be happy.
SPEAKER_03:Sports and moving around.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, absolutely.
SPEAKER_03:I'm like, I cannot be sitting down all day, put me in somewhere I can roam around. All right, next one is what are three words that would describe your coaching style?
SPEAKER_00:I would say energetic, passionate, and um third one would be committed, probably. Like, I mean, I all those three things, I mean, I think that that really describe me of of why I do it and and whether it's passionate, energetic, all those things, man. I'm I'm here for kids. So I think those three things would be great.
SPEAKER_03:I love that. And next one is what's one piece of advice you'd give to young coaches just starting out?
SPEAKER_00:Dive in. Dive in. I mean, it it's it's tough, it's long, it's a lot of hours, but there's no other profession like this. There's no other profession where you get to not just pour into your athletes, but you get to pour into kids that you come across every day in the classroom. There's no other profession that that has that gratification of seeing a first generation kid go to college, seeing a seeing a kid that maybe didn't excel early on um excel later. It's such a unique, amazing, inspiring um profession. Um dive in, dive in. It's it's gonna be lonely. There's gonna be some tough times, but but once you see the that smile on that kid's face walking across the stage, or or them calling you three years down the road and and like, hey, this happened. I remember you saying that this would happen, like there's nothing like those phone calls. So I would say dive in, it's it's it's hard, but but it's truly a remarkable profession.
SPEAKER_03:That's so amazing. And next one will be his favorite motivational quote.
SPEAKER_00:Oh man, there's there's there's so many. Yeah, I mean, I think I think there's I'm I'd probably butchered if I said it, but there, but there's a lot by um Kirby Smart, Nick Saban that that talk about leadership. And and I'm so big on on on growing leaders and and developing leaders. So um it's it's probably something along the lines that hey, leadership sometimes lonely, but but you gotta get these guys to where they want to be, not necessarily where they need to be, or where they need to be, not necessarily where they want to be, and stuff like that.
SPEAKER_03:So amazing. Well, last one before I let you go is what's a fun fact about you?
SPEAKER_00:Oh, fun fact about me. Um I would say that that that I just got a uh little man, uh he's 10 months old. He was able to um experience this last ride with us uh last year and was able to um come with us. And and my wife is a former athlete as well. So um just seeing her and bringing him to the Dallas Cowboys Stadium. Or the Texan stadium and being able to take pictures with him on a sideline. I think that was um a cool fact of he's gonna be able to have for the rest of his life at seven months old. He's on Dallas Cowboys Stadium and kind of being able to share that experience with them. So um I would say that's probably a cool, interesting fact.
