It's a brand new season and after a long hiatus from the bunker and lots of changes for Warrior Football since November, Troy and Andy knock off the rust and get back to business with a great conversation with new Head Coach David S. Calloway.

Calloway has more than 25 years of football experience at the collegiate level. He has a proven record of coaching teams to a winning season and recruiting student-athletes who succeed on the field, in the classroom, and in the community. Most recently, Coach Calloway served as associate head coach and defensive coordinator at Missouri Valley College. He led and oversaw all defensive football operations and personnel development and recruited top-tier student athletes across the country.

At the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff, Calloway worked as the defensive coordinator and defensive line coach from 2023-2025. He developed game strategies that increased defensive performance metrics, built recruitment pipelines, and oversaw academic success programs.

Coach Calloway led the Central Methodist University football team as head coach from 2015-2023. There, he managed full football program operations, including budget, recruitment, compliance, and media relations. He also built and lead a diverse team of assistant coaches and staff while overseeing student-athlete success both on and off the field. He took what started as a less than .500 team to a winning program in just a few years. Most notably, Coach Calloway led the 2021 Central Methodist Football Team to a 9-2 season, finishing 5-0 in the conference and #1 in the Heart of America. Central Methodist met Northwestern College (IA), fellow GPAC opponent, in the first round of playoffs. Northwestern would move on to lose in the semifinal round to another GPAC opponent, Morningside University.

At Texas A&M University-Kingsville, Coach Calloway served as Head Football Coach from 2012-2014 while supervising athletic training and managing team logistics and community-facing initiatives. Before that, from 2007-2012, he was the team’s defensive coordinator. The 2010 and 2011 teams made NCAA Division II playoff appearances. Coach Calloway has also served as assistant coach and defensive coordinator at various other institutions, including Langston University and Hastings College. As a player at Langston University, he was a four-year starter and 2x Oklahoma Intercollegiate Conference champions. He was Langston’s Defensive Player of the Year and earned NAIA All-American First Team.

Coach Calloway’s core principles are accountability, dependability, energy, effort, and passion. His program building centers around these pillars: Protect the Brand, Become Family, and Respect the Game. His vision for his programs is to create a culture that will promote accountability and dependability that will give student athletes the opportunity to achieve at the highest level in the classroom, on the field, and in the community.

This week, as the Warriors head into their final game of the 2025 season, Andy and Troy sit side by side to talk about the snow-fest last weekend and the upcoming opportunity against Doane. This is a 1-9 tie for the bottom with Diane University but the difference is - the Warrior victory means end of the streak. That's the business and it will take that WILL TO WIN mentality to make it happen.

This week Andy and Troy sit down with senior kicker, #41 Connor Parker from Stillwater, Minnesota. In preparation for tomorrow's home game versus Briar Cliff, the boys discuss everything from kicking technique to the best and worst cars he's had to park as a valet and whether the team should embrace the specialists "Western Wednesdays" music selection. This one was a lot of fun and the riffs go in every direction - something we can't say about Connor's kicks - they go where they are supposed to!
