Who was the biggest influence on
you as a football player? My dad,
Bill Mouser, played a huge part in
influencing me to choose the coaching
profession. He allowed my brother
and me to come to practices and be
on the sidelines during games growing
up. This developed my love for the
game and modeled the impact that a
positive coach could have on a school
and community. In addition, Coach
Danny Rogers (Head Coach, Blanco, TX), who coached me from PE when I was
in elementary school until I graduated high school. I was his manager growing
up on the sideline and he trusted me as a junior high kid to help him chart plays
during games. This responsibility made me competitive to learn the schemes of
the game. On top of that he was a great motivator and a very smart coach that
enabled our school to be successful.

Who was the biggest influence on
you as a football player? My father,
Bob Hermes, was my biggest influence
to play football and become a coach.
He took me to every Friday night
football game as a kid, and he was
always there to play catch in the yard.
He was my biggest fan and is the
reason I coach today.
