Montgomery excited about first game as head coach

Montgomery has started to prepare himself mentally because in less than a week he will walk out of the purple haze. He will walk out onto Bagwell Field to the sound of close to 50,000 fans cheering.

“This is something that I’ve dreamed about,” said Montgomery. “Being here is something that I could never have dreamed of — it being this good from a standpoint of having a fan culture and running out with your football club.”

Montgomery admits that being a head coach as opposed to a coordinator or position coach will be new to him, as he will need to improve each week and keep a close eye on all assets of the team.
