    Paul Simmons: Harding Football, Leadership & Duck Hunting

    Former Harding Bisons head football coach Paul Simmons joins Bridge and JA for a special conversation recorded at the Smith Golf Open House in Searcy, Arkansas. After leading Harding to the 2023 Division II National Championship, Simmons reflects on the culture that built a championship program, the sacrifices of coaching, and his transition into life after football. He shares why winning was never the primary goal, what made Harding's players different, and how loyalty, accountability, and selflessness helped define the program. And of course, there's duck hunting. Coach tells a hilarious story about motivating his team to earn a playoff bye week so he could spend opening weekend in the duck blind, and explains why the fellowship of hunting means so much to him. Plus, his thoughts on Andrew Miller's NFL potential and a surprise appearance in The Bridge Is Out Hot Seat. A candid conversation about football, family, leadership, and life beyond the sidelines. 00:00 Transitioning from Coaching to New Beginnings 01:45 Elite Coach or Elite Father and Husband 03:13 The Unique Culture of Harding Football 04:03 A Unique Football Program 05:33 Building a Winning Team Beyond Talent 06:56 Dre Hall 09:10 Grand Valley 10:37 Duck Hunting 12:34 Andrew Miller 13:26 Drafting D2 Players 15:09 Hot Seat
