Episode description

He’s Bacccccccccccccck! One of the most successful coaches in the state is back in coaching at the city he loves, Rockwall. Rockwall-Heath’s Rodney Webb is that rare breed to now coach on both sides of I-30 in one of the most heated rivalries in the State and yet be loved by both sides. After a year as the Highland Park ISD Athletic Director, Rodney was enticed to save a program that was hurting. Rockwall-Heath is senior-laden and loaded with talent at the skill positions including a Quarterback who can really spin the ball. Coach Webb’s reputation is leading high powered offenses that challenge state records and he’s got the kids to do it! It will be like Synchronized Swimming when Rodney takes on his friends and former assistants at Rockwall HS championed by Trey Brooks. Who will outsmart who? Rodney has led his squads to the playoffs 18 of 20 seasons as a Head Coach. We talk about his many standout players at his memorable stops at Royse City, Mesquite Horn, Rockwall, and Denton Guyer…from receivers like Jaxson-Smith Njigba & Jakeem Grant to QBs like Jackson Arnold to Braedyn Locke. Also, Webb discusses what it was like to be the President of the Texas High School Coaches Association during a pandemic. It’s the largest such organization in the World and there was no playbook for COVID. An Elusive State Title is what drives him most…but, doing it the “Right Way” and raising good young men is a passion. Recently, Coach Webb was inducted into the Prestigious Garland Sports Hall of Fame.
